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.

Can't set Firefox as default browser even after following steps in Firefox support

Can't set Firefox as my default browser even after following the steps outlined in Firefox support. Operating Firefox on Snow Leopard with Windows 7 running under Parallels. Clicking on links in emails, etc. always opens IE 8 in Windows instead of Firefox on the Mac
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

You said " digital AV Adapter and thunderbolt". Do you mean Thunderbolt/min displayport to HDMI adapter?
It appears you are using the free version of the Display Menu app.
What does the Apple Display properties show? System Preferences>Displays>Display show?
Look at the projector/go to the manufacturer's support site and find the native resolution of the projector.
Googling for Sori data projector id not produce any hits

Mac Pro (Snow Leopard) runs slow even after bootup disk is repaired

My Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.8 continues to run exremely slowly even after the bootup disk was repaired and verified. I did a second safe boot then a regular boot and now I cannot even start any of the applicatsion. E.g., I cannot start either Mail.app or Safari.
This ie s exremely upsetting and I would appreciate any help, advice, ... on what I should do to determine the problem.

I have had Time Machine backups and I used to have online backups as well until the provider changed terms on me which made it so much more expensive (but that is another story). I have >600 GB available on my1 TB startup drive and I do have quite of a bit of my media files on an additional 500 GB hard drive.
However, your mentioning power outages and dorps/dips reminded me that such is indeed a problem where we live. My MacPro is wlays on and when I woke up one morning the login window was on so it obviously had restarted. Then just before the Mac acted slower than molasses I do remember my UPS beeping but I admittedly sort of ignored it and forgot all about it since this kind of thing happens relatively frequently.
I just restarted the system now and everything seems back to normal again.
My question: my Mac Pro as well as my monitor are connected to a 350 VA/200 W UPS. What is the advantage of using a 1500 VA UPS?
Thanks.

MacBook Pro running slow even after RAM update.

I upgraded from 512 to 2GB of memory because Mac was running slow such as applications would some times take forever to open especially files on quicktime. After the upgrade though i have the same problem, Slow performance. Any advice or solutions?

Hi Vetty, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It would help to know exactly which model of MBP you have.
Also, how much free space do you have available on your HD? If under 10%, that is likely the problem.
Some things you can try:
Background Maintenance in Terminal
1. Log in to an administrator’s account.
2. Open Terminal (located in Applications, Utilities).
3. Copy and paste in the following command (or type it exactly):
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
4. Press Return.
5. Type in your password when asked (note: you will not see anything being entered as you type your password).
6. Hit Return.
7. Wait until the Terminal prompt returns; this can take 5-10 minutes, but is usually under 5 minutes (the prompt returning will be your only notice that the tasks have finished).
8. Quit Terminal.
Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen go to Installer Menu>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).
Repair Permissions: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility>select HD in panel at left>click on Repair Permissions at bottom of main window and allow process to finish before quitting DU.

My Macbook Pro running slow even after format

Hello guys, I've had this problem with my 2009 unibody 13" Macbook Pro for at least a month. Last month I tried to reinstall OSX Lion which i previously had, but the install failed for saveral attemps (probably for my slow internet). I finally managed to get OSX Lion on and it was increadibly slow even no programs are installed so I reinstalled it again and again but the same problem still comes up. So i went to an Apple Store (Thailand) and the apple guy assisted me by trying harddisk permission repair, reinstalling the os again, none worked, i still get a super slow computer. So I went home and downgraded the os to snow leopard, it seemed to work just fine at first but after i install several (4-5) basic applications, it started to get slow again (still faster than when it was lion). Whenever i open two or three applications at once or even browsing a webpage alone i get the spinning rainbow cursor. Somebody told me its probably the harddrive, who do u think? please help - thanks.

Yes it is your hard drive.
Backup your files off the machine and before you reinstall OS X again, this time use the 10.6 disk > Disk Utility > Erase with Security Option > Zero All Data, make sure your ENTIRE hard drive is slected on the left.
Let that complete and install 10.6, then update to 10.6.8, that should be the fastest OS X version for that machine.
If you go to 10.7, it's going to slow down a little bit again.
If you can't complete the Zero erase (it takes some time to finish) after trying 2x and or still having problems after that, then the drive is causing the defective sectors and needs to be replaced.
Keep your boot drive below 50% filled for maximum performance, but never more than 80% filled.

Cooling fans constantly run @ full speed after replacing the upper CPU??

After replacing the upper CPU on a Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Dual 1.8Ghz PowerPC, model M9454LL/A, all the cooling fans constantly run at full speed. All other operations are normal.
I've read, "...after replacing or switching CPU locations the Logic Board doesn't properly recognize the CPU's in their new location and a "Thermal Calibration" is needed". Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
What software would be required?

Hi-
Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
Yes.
What software would be required?
The Apple Service Diagnostic disc (ASD) of the proper version for your machine.
Call an authorized Apple service provider and arrange a calibration, as the disc is not readily available to individuals.

Cannot find the proxy server even after following the advice in the help section

I successfully downloaded the latest version but I cannot connect to the internet. I get a "cannot find the proxy server" prompt. I have followed the advice in the help section but nothing seems to work.

You can check20the connection settings here:

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

Profilemanager not opening even after following the steps provided in Firefox website

I wanted to set profile.
When trying to open profile-manager using:
firefox.exe -p
or
"\path\to\firefox.exe" -p, firefox browser is opening.
SO restarted my system and tried again. The problem persists.
Please help.
Mine is 64 bit Windows7 OS
Firefox version 30.0

The key is to make sure Firefox is completely closed/exited first before trying to start Firefox with the ProfileManager. Otherwise a new window will just open instead.

Firefox 34 is slow even after reset

I recently got an update for my Firefox and after that it has become very slow!
What I tried to do:
- updated all plugins
- disabled all addons
- ran Firefox in a safe mode
- created a new fresh profile
- updated video driver, turned on/off hardware acceleration
- changed option layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled to "false"
It's still slow! As of now, I have a brand new profile without any addons and about 10 tabs opened. There is a noticeable lags when I switch between tabs, open new ones, scroll, and navigate through Firefox menus.
Firefox, what's wrong with you? How to make you work right at it was on version 3.x?
Some details:
I have a dell e6430 laptop, core i5 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 128 SSD, lots of free RAM, almost nothing running in background and consumes CPU.

Have you checked how much CPU FF takes? That's why latest versions are so slow for me.
I also noticed that FF has been having problems with multiple tabs/windows since 32.03, which is the version I've gone back every time...

Firefox continually hangs even after trying the solutions listed here, and in other sites, and I can't find any common link to pinpoint what is causing it.

I love Firefox but I may have no choice but to try Chrome instead. Over the past couple of weeks the version of Firefox I have installed on my Lenovo Edge 15 latop (which is the most current version of Firefoxc), hangs several times an hour, for approx a minute each time. I have tried to locate the cause of the problem by eliminating the websites I commonly visit, but it seems that it does not matter what website I visit, it continues to happen. I have even tried loading Firefox in safe mode and it still makes no difference. And this problem is only affecting Firefox, and none of my other programs are affected. I have used resource monitor to try and locate the problem and, when this problem occurs, Firefox is reported as taking up 25% of CPU consumption. I am using Windows 7.

I have a Mac and have tried the suggestion above with the places.sqlite but it DID NOT HELP! FIREFOX IS STILL HANGING!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a real fan of firefox for several years, but lately it's just plain annoying!!! I have to force quit FF several times a day. I THINK I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO SAFARI until you guys get your act together soon :(

I have updated iTunes and now even after following the help instructions, I am unable to convert songs to mp3 format. Help !!!

I cannot convert files to mp3 format after the latest iTunes program update.
