Firefox 5 is running very very slow does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

I have FF ver. 5 and for about a week now it is taking way longer than normal to load any and all pages. I can't play any of my games because of how slow it is running. I'll click on a dropdown menu or something of the like like the "Tool's" menu and it will suck up so I'll have to push on it several more times before it will finally stay open and I can choose something. It also takes much longer for it to close down completely. Start up is running at normal for the most part. Every once in a while it will take a while to load and open.
I've done everything I know to do like clearing cookies and history to no avail. I've even run a virus scan which only came up with some tracking cookies, no viruses or anything like that.
I know about 3 days before this started happening I updated the Java stuff and that's it.
I'm at my wits end as I work on the internet for a living and this is making it very difficult and frustrating to get anything done.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Cheryl

does anyone read these posts from the Mozilla FireFox team to give us any solutions? I thought for sure I would have heard from a moderator by now.
Someone PLEASE help me out here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When trying to export data from a program we use, it does not automatically recognize the file format as .xml. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

I have tried to uninstall verion 3.6 and reinstall. Also, I re-imaged the workstation, but it still does not work. The OS is Windows 7 32-bit. This same process works automatically on an XP workstation. In fact, the machine I re-imaged was an XP box, but it did not work on this particular machine. Hence, the reason for the new image.

I am exporting the file from TxEIS (in the Firefox web browser) and it does not download properly. Acccording to Firefox documentation, it is supposed to automatically recognize the file extension. I have not experienced this on any other machine within our environment. Other users are performing this same process with no problems. The browers settings are exactly the same as the machines that are working right.

TS3694 I have an unknown error labeled -42210. I don't see it anywhere in the list and I have no clue what it does either since everything seems to run just fine. Does anyone know what the error means?

          if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then

else
          display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"

I have a MacBook Pro with all the necessary requirements.

Here are a few things to try:
Restart your Modem and Router.
Reset iTunes Store Cache (iTunes Preferences, Advanced tabl)
Delete the App Store plists (close App Store first):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
To get to these,iIf you still have your user Library hidden, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder. Otherwise, just go into your home folder, then Library, and then Preferences.

I wanted to mark your answer helpful too but I didn't know that I could only put it for 2 answers. Sorry
That was good advice by G-N and s/he is correct about it. Unfortunately, ASC allows only 2 "helpful" and 1 "correct" marks per thread.

If you can't remember the passcode then you will need to restore the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Are you shooting RAW? Are you exporting masters or versions? Is there a size limitation on the Walgreens site?

I do not remember my passcode to reset all my settings or delete apps. does anyone know what i can do, i do not remember my passcode to reset all my settings or delete apps. does anyone know what i can do

Can some one help? i dont remember my passcode to be able to rset all my settings and delete apps what can i do.

If you mean that you forgot the restrictions Passcode, typically you have to restore the device as new in order to get rid of the Passcode. If by some chance you have a backup that does not contain the password, you can restore from that backup to remove the Passcode.
I found this in another discussion a whole back and I keep it handy in case someone wants to try it. I have never down this but it worked for a couple of users that were involved in the discussion. All of the copy under the Reset Restrictions Passcode, is another user's word, not my own.

1. Download iPhone Backup Extractor http://supercrazyawesome.com/ (This is for OSX, if you are using Windows there are other Backup Extractor programs although my iPhone syncs with a Mac so you will have to tweak these directions to work with the Windows program, here is one of the Windows programs I found: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/)
2. Extract the Zip file you downloaded, move the App to your Applications folder, then run the App
3. Click on Read Backups, in the window that pops up click on the backup file of the device you need the lost pin for, then click Choose
4. You will have a list of all the Apps on the phone. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on iOS Files, then click on Extract. Choose a folder where you want the files to be extracted to.
5. After it finishes extracting go to the folder where you extracted the files and follow this directory path: iOS Files --> Library --> Preferences
6. In that folder find the file "com.apple.springboard.plist" and open it. (Read note below if on Windows)
7. In Property List Editor look for the key titled "SBParentalControlsPin"
8. Look to the right of that entry and you will see the 4 digit PIN. You can now remove/modify parental controls
(NOTE: If you are on Windows and do not have a program that will read PLIST files then open the file with Notepad instead. It will mostly look like garbled junk and words running together but towards the end of the file look for 4 successive digits, if there is more than one place with 4 successive digits then try them all, one of them will be your pin).

Does anyone know where I can get iPhone fixed in South Australia

Seen as I cant get my iPhone restored/reset I have no choice but to take it somewhere to get fixed or replaced. Apple dont appear to have a service centre or store in Adelaide or SA. There's planty of Apple Mac places, but none of them indicate they handle the iPhone.
So, can anyone advise me if and where an Apple centre is in South Australia.

With CS6 you have to pay extra for these plugins.
With the CC you can download different ME versions to add their functionality.

My ipod keeps turning itself off, it syncs and charges fine. does anyone know what i can do?

i brought a second hand ipod, i would told it was fully functional. however, sometimes it likes to turn itself off halfway through songs.
it syncs to my mac fine and the battery can last upto a few days.
does anybody please have any advice? thanks.

Have you restored it in iTunes yet? If the issue is software related then a restore will resolve your issue, since it will remove all data and system software and reinstall the system software.
