Firefox 6.0.1 runs OK on start up but as the day goes by gets slower and slower.

Running Windows XP on Toshiba Equim A110. Since upgrading to Firefox 6.0.1, Firefox has been very frustrating to use. As the day progresses after booting up, Firefox becomes increasingly slow. For exmple opening a new tab can take 80 secs. Shutting down Firefox at the end of the day can take many minutes.

My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it

My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

Firefox keeps getting slower and slower as the day goes on

It's exactly as the title suggests - it works fine first thing in the morning, then gradually gets slower as the day goes on. Last night, for example, I couldn't get on any sites for love nor money - all it kept saying was 'transferring to...' 'loading...' whatever site I was going on, YouTube videos keep freezing etc (I have to keep pausing and waiting for the little grey bar to extend a little; such a trivial thing, yet so annoying! I also unchecked the 'Use hardware acceleration where possible' thing in 'Options', to no avail).
I've done all the usual tests (scan, virus checks etc), all of which have come back perfectly clear. I used Internet Explorer, yet that works perfectly OK, aside from a little slowness in getting a page to load, but I think I'm using a rather dated version of IE (I got my computer September 2012, and this version of IE was already installed on there!), so maybe that's to blame.
I've reset Firefox, to no avail. It's getting on my nerves!! The YouTube part of my problem only started Wednesday night, and the slowness of Firefox started yesterday. As bizarre as it may seem, may the weather be causing the Internet to go slow, as it is unbelievably hot and humid here in the UK at the moment! I remember my Mum saying she had the same problem around this time last year when it was boiling hot!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do?

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do? It keeps going around in circles. I have tried re-starting the computer and re-launching the program holding down the option-command keys. Neither helped.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Firefox stops responding when I try to access anything other than the home page; even after reseting and reinstalling it.

I have tried resting Firefox and even sacrificed all my data (bookmarks, add-ons, saved passwords, the whole shebang) for a clean installation. Firefox Stared hanging and doing the "(Not Responding)" thing with a whited-out window. Thus force me to force close Firefox.
This happened as soon as I updated my computer (running Windows 7) and the Task manager is show high usage of processes. All my other browsers work (Chrome, Safari, and even the god forsaken IE) don't hang when trying to leave the home page, browse fine, and close and reopen perfectly.
Needless to say, I'm annoyed with this development.

<blockquote>
Did you try the minimize memory usage. If not then try it by following method:
- On your navigation bar of Firefox write about:memory
- Click on the button "Minimize memory usage"
Hope it will work!
</blockquote>
Unfortunately, I can't even use the navigation bar without triggering the high process usage thing. So this is not an option.
''cor-el [[#answer-689165|said]]''

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Tried this stuff as well. Turned Norton off and it didn't work. Restarted my computer with Norton off, still didn't work. And Firefox didn't wok after I turned Norton back on. Safe mode also doesn't work.

I need to install Adobe Flash Player but there is no RUN to click on to download to the Programs Folder. Only Save and Cancel.

I deleted some files in my Documents and Settings. Firefox no longer responds. I have re-installed but no luck. Where can I access and save my Bookmarks? Thank you.

When I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog saying: ''Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart your system.''
I can't close Firefox, and it doesn't show up in the Task Manager. I've tried re-installing Firefox, to no avail.
Which folder contains my Bookmarks?I would like to save them and do a fresh install.
Thank you.

I am going to ring optus tomorrow and request for the network to be unlocked or for a new sim. I do know someone else who uses them but i can't get in contact with them at the moment. I did read that maybe as the sim card is quite old that once you update you can have problems even though it was working just fine before i updated the software. Thanks

Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

Firefox 19.02 seems to consume much more CPU constinuously bringing the whole computer to be slower

A few minutes after Firefox 19.02 is started, it starts to consume about 40%-50% of the CPU continuously.
deactivating all plugins and addons does not change the situation.
This never happened before even with many tabs open etc.

Well, in safe mode things seem a bit better but still Firefox uses 16%-22% CPU resources when minimized doing nothing. Question is what now? Sorting out addons one by one?
Thing it that Firefox does not shows the problem immediately after restart. It takes 10-20 minutes before it starts to 'eat' my CPU resources...

Encore WT8-A starts to turn on but then the screen goes black!?

This began nearly a week ago, I had just installed a few apps and my battery died. When I tried to turn the tablet back on it showed a dark blue or even greyish screen. I waited over night and tried turning it out again...this time it began to start, showing the Toshiba start up screen, but then the screen went black.
I have tried to hold the power button, does not work. It will only partially work while on the charger, nothing happens unless it is plugged in.
I did do a Google search and found out that this could be a Bitlocker problem so I tried once again after waiting a few days, I was able to get to a screen allowing me o input a recovery key. The recovery key worked and then I was sent to a page saying that my PC started wrong, restart. When I allow it to do so the process starts all over again...
This tablet is only about 6 months old and I just started using it regularly a few months ago. It hasn't been damaged and I am certain there is no virus because I have software that I run weekly. I am clueless as to what to do to make this work. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so how was it resolved?

It seems that a few months ago Toshiba started shipping devices with Bitlocker enabled (one I bought a year ago did not have, one I bought in November did. I turned it off and decrypted the drive immediately.This seems to be an industry problem and not just Toshiba. "Someone" made a firmware revision that turned it back on since other Tablets have reported the same problem.
I have seen reports of three stages of Bitlocker:
1) Not encrypted - no key
2) Encrypted using a personal key (may be stored in your Microsoft account and recovered from there - is about 25 digits)
3) Encrypted but Bitlocker turned off. Key stored on hard drive and "decrypted on the fly". I suspect this is the problem and happens if Bitlocker is turned off but the drive is not decrypted (takes several minutes). If something happens to "lose" the key then there is a problem. I suspect the key is stored in the firmware (BIOS) and an update may wipe it..
What I would do for any tab is two things:
1) Open diskmgmt.msc and see if any drive mentions Bitlocker
2) Go to "Search" and enter "drive encryption". See what it says
If either mentions Bitlocker or "drive is encrypted" then I would go to Control Panel>Security>Bitlocker and decrypt the drive (not just turn off). If you need disk encryption then make sure you keep a copy of the key offline.
If that does not work or it is locked already then a full recovery with reformat may be needed.
