Firefox 4.0 running slow on windows xp netbook

After recently updated firefox to 4.0 it runs very slowly. This occurs even with only one tab open. The mouse moves slowly over the firefox window and typing an email in a web based email (live.com and exchange webmail (I know its probably best run in IR but ...) is very frustrating because the cursor lags behind by 2 or 3 words at least. The computer is a asus eeepc 1101HA with windows xp.

I also had this problem on asus eeepc. Try uncheck checkbox 'Use hardware acceleration when available' in Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General. It works on my notebook...

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of firefox..is running slower, I am not really liking the new format, is there anyway to go back to the old one?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

      I followed the instructions exactly as in the article.I don’t think there is much scope for error as i did not encounter similarly named files and the described path took me exactly to the file in Program Files. I am certain I have never encountered similar problems with my laptop before. Even if I made a mistake, it would have been so easy to make that I would not recommend anyone else to try that!

Since the last automatic update, Firefox has been running slow as molasses, with a refresh box coming up constantly. What can I do to correct this?

Since the last automatic update (approx. one week ago) my Firefox has been running slow as molasses and I keep getting a "refresh" box popping up when the pages get hung up (very often)
What can I do to correct this? I clean my cache out at least once daily - most days more. Virus scan says I'm clear of viruses - Glary Utilities tells me that all changes to my registry have been fixed (sneaky apps trying to get in) I'm going crazy because I am used to my FF being fast! HELP!!!

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox 4 constantly runs slow,even after following the solutions

I have tried the solution pages and help,but firefox 4 optimised for yahoo still continues to run slow. I have never had this problem with firefox 3.6 for yahoo. this is driving me crazy,please help!!

try google chrome 10.x, these kinds of problem often happens to some specific websites. so, you need an alternative sometimes. and sometimes it is the problem of the websites, so calm down buddy. during internet rush hours i.e 18:00-22:00 monday to friday, it may make you unpleasant even with some BIG websites, so don't be that fuss to this.

Sometimes i try to start firefox and get a message. Firefox is already running. No windows are opened. I have read all the support artickle, did everything recommended. It was useless. Please write what can I do.

The useless support article is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding?s=running&as=s

Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer when using Netbook with XP and recommended Flash Player.

On my Netbook running XP and a broadband connection, Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer even though it has had the Flash Player upgraded as recommended. The player stalls and won't stream or start a menu for streaming the "live" content from the Radio Station.
The problem doesn't exist when using Google Chrome as an alternative to Firefox. So this is obviously a Firefox incompatibility problem with Flash Player

That's what mine said too when I went direct to their checker.
But I use the Speed Test app and that shows a different IP address, one which links to Orange in the UK.
At the moment it's giving me 31.81.44.53, but that Ip2location site gives me 50.19.92.191. Google tells me I am on 50.16.198.92.
I am confused and frustrated.
I did several full restores yesterday, several times when the phone restarted it gave US as the defualt locaiton at startup, but this morning when I just did a settings wipe, it gave me the UK, and I thought that had fixed it. I didn't.
Very odd.
Gosh I thought I solved it then, one of the sites told me my app Onavo was creating a proxy. Deleting the app didn't help - may have to delete the profile which may be buried elsewhere on the phone. Oh, it's in the General tab under profiles - if you have a profile at all.
Cannot confirm if this works yet as I only have 2G at home but if you have Onavo, I think it's creating a proxy server connection (directing you to the USA). Delete the app, delete the profile and please let me know if it works for you!
Can't be more than 99% certain, but removing my Onavo profile has now given me a UK IP. Should work!

Illustrator CC 17.1 running slow on windows 8.1

I have bought a new machine to speed things up. But it is running very slow, I have increased the virtula memory, allocated a scratch disk on a separate SSD. The machine is a top spec, i7 4th generation processor, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5.
Each time I try to move things it has a lag and often has to try to select again, making it very dificult to work.

Hi
I Have moved from Apple to WIndows 8.1 due to MBP 2011 GPU issues & Apple ignoring the issue.
Anyway the samsung is as follows:
NP870Z5G-X01
WIn 8.1 x64
16GB RAM 1600kingston
i7-4700HQ @ 2.4GHZ
Intel 4600 graphics / NVidia GT750M
The machine is 2 years newer than my old 17" MBP so should whizz through the tasks in illustrator but has the same problem, lagging when moving, also when zooming in and out. I noticed that the Nvidia card is not used in Illustrator just Photoshop. It really is slow though and painful to use.
I hope someone can sort it out soon

IMac running slow and windows partition not showing

I have an iMac 12.1, 2.5 ghz, i5, 4 gb ram, 500 gb hd (41 gb used) running 10.7.4. We installed windows parallel and windows 7 about three months ago. We rarely used windows and now windows doesn't work, although the icons are there. I tried to uninstall via boot camp and the partition does not show. The iMac is now running extremely slow except when running in safe mode.
How can I delete or reinstall windows and speed up the iMac?
Thank you

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when you try to launch Parrallels Desktop.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.

Why PB application run slower in Windows 7 than XP?

Hi there,
Why PB application in windows 7 64-bit slower than in XP? Is something that I need to change in OS level or PB?
The PB version 12.x
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thx!

Hi Patrick;
I would have to say in general that in all my W7 versus XP testing that PB runs about 15-20% slower on W7 than XP.
Now, this can be counteracted by stepping up the memory and CPU power on your W7 machine.
However, newer W7 machines speeds can be severely degraded by low RAM configuration and in particular poor printer drivers. The latter is what determines the DataWindow speed as the DWO utilizes the current printer driver to visualize the DW primary buffer. So a poor performing print driver can not only slow your application down but make the DW Painter in the IDE very slow to open

Apps are running slow since windows 10 update, facebook, solitaire etc.

Like most people I went through the lengthy process of updating to Windows 10 yesterday. The update went smoothly. The problem I am having is that the embedded solitaire games from the start menu are hanging and running very slow. Also, sad as it sounds, some of the games on facebook are also very juddery and slow. I have checked to make sure I havent got too many things running in the background but nothing changed. Anyone got any ideas?

IMacs running slow off Windows Server 2008

Currently the Creative Director and I are the only ones at our company working on Macs. We both are running OSX 10.6.8 on iMacs and we are having major slow loading time in Finder and very, very slow loading time working with Adobe files (PSDs/AIs/INDDs).
The company I work for has been bought out by another company and they had their tech guys come in to install a server.. I have recently found out that it is a Windows Server 2008. We were told to transfer our files to this server and ever since have been having problems. I have tried to communicate with some of the techs and they either complain about Macs or are not that familiar with Macs. They don't have any other designers at their company, so I am not sure how to get them to understand the issue.
I have done some research and found others with similar problems, but I am not really finding a solution or a discussion that is very recent. I think this is a problem that has been around for awhile, but we are new to it. The problem seems to be with the SMB sharing.
We would be grateful if anyone had any insight or infomation regarding working off a Windows Server 2008 from a Mac or whether we should recommend us working off a Mac Server which is backed up to the main server.
Thanks!
Aa

Appreciate it Ed.
I let our boss know about Extreme ZIP and forwarded the link to our IT team. Although we haven't gotten a response back yet, I am thinking that a mac server would be a cheaper purchase overall since it wouldn't be a reoccuring monthly charge.
If we were to convert one an extra Mac Pros to a Lion Server, is it possible to have that backed up or connected to the Windows Server 2008? Or would we need to do that the Mac Pro. Not sure how to word this, my lack of experience in servers shines through here.
Really trying to save us from switching to PCs, thinking if we can convert the Mac Pro to a Lion Server it would be our least expenseive route.
Thanks again,
Aaron

Photoshop 7 running slow on Windows 8

I have Photoshop version 7 running on a new Windows 8 system. I ran in previously on a Windows 7 system. I don't know all the system details, but i know there is plenty of RAM (16 gb), plenty of space, plenty of everything, and it is compatible, however, it is dragging a lot, which it has never done. I reset it so the scratch disks are not the same as the OS (as Adobe generally suggests) and that's done nothing. It also has nothing to do with opening or working on files - there is a delay on opening items on the toolbar and opening dialogue boxes.
I have 2 hard drives - one "fast" but smaller - 104 gb, and one regular at 931 gb. I've tried installing it in both locations separately, and it behaves the same.
Any thoughts/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! (Also, I know Photoshop 7 is an older version, and if it were up to me, I'd just upgrade, but I don't get to make those decisions...)

Compatibility Mode is a Windows function and you should probably use. Photoshop 7 was not designed to work on modern OS's. There are more than just visual changes when upgrading your OS. New features are added, some old ones, and the code they depend on, are removed. Compatibility Mode helps to compensate for these differences by modifying the environment around an application to make it more friendly. This could make all the difference in the world. Or not, there could be something else going on...
Just right-click the Photoshop exe file, go to Properties and select the Compatibility tab. It should be pretty self-explanatory from there.
