Firefox 9 took 5min or more to load a site, i really liked the new version except not allowing me to have my norton toolbar, so i had to get 3.6 and it loads very fast i don't know why, maybe you have suggestions thank you

firefox 9 wasn't this slow when i first got it but nothing seems to help. i have uninstalled an reinstalled many times but it hasn't helped when i try to go to another site my activity icon just spins for minutes and sometimes it never loads. i wish it was faster i have to go to chrome sometimes to get to a site, thank you for any help you can give.

Hey Gina,
Change all your passwords, this will stop the remote access if there are any. Also check to make sure there are no third party apps managing your passwords. Also please contact the tech support for the phone for more technical help on that issue :-)
I also understand that the customization is not staying. [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
Did this happen when you synced last? Also are there more than one device with different Customized ui settings?
Change the settings back from open "pages from last time" to the other homepage: [[How to set the home page]] or if this happened after you attached another device to the sync account, uncheck Preferences from the sync settings.

  • Can i download previous versions of firefox? the new version does not allow me to use my VPN so i have had to uninstall firefox and use internet explorer instead (ugh!)

    after i downloaded firefox 4.o.1 i have no longer been able to use my VPN which i need frequently for work. it worked fine with the previous version of firefox.

    Can you describe in a little more detail which part isn't working? For example, is the VPN not starting up when you start Firefox, or is Firefox not able to use the VPN tunnel?
    If we can't solve it, here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Where can I find an older version of Firefox, the newer versions do not allow me to play my FB games?

    '''I updated my Firefox today, and it will not allow me to play the games on FB put out by Zynga. Is there anyway I can revert back to Firefox 3.5 or 3.6 to play the games? All my flash players and shockwave players are updated.

  • I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

    I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on please help

    you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
    that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes.  they are strictly a convenience for designers.
    i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • 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.

  • Can't update my Ipod classic's software. My Window's Vista Home Edition will not load the latest version of Itunes, and the older versions will not allow my Ipod to connect to the update server

    I have an Ipod Classic, 80 gig. It's over 3 years old. I have a Samsung SensR410 laptop, also over 3 years old, running Vista Home Premium 32bit but '64bit Compatible'
    I had iTunes 8.
    One day my Ipod stopped working.
    I formatted it.
    I uninstalled iTiunes.
    I re-installed iTunes.
    But the latest version would not be loaded on my PC. I chose English as the language, but because I bought my laptop in Korea, some parts of the installation were in Korea. I uninstalled it, following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    I re-installed iTunes 8. It loaded, but when I plugged in my Ipod, it said that the Ipod needed to be updated/restored, 'click to contact updater' but then it could not contact the server. I tried: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814but it didn't help.
    I tried downloading iTunes 9, it loaded, but the Ipod would not connect.
    Help, please!

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • When will Firefox have a solution for the 'McAfee site advisor' problem in the new version 5 of the browser?

    I love Firefox and always keep it updated with the latest version, but the new version 5 keeps saying that McAfee Site Adviser will be disabled when I upgrade. So, I haven't downloaded the upgrade. I also love and depend on my site adviser and I'm not willing to loose it. Is Firefox working on a solution for this problems and if so, when do they expect to have a solution in place?

    Not much to add. I hadn't used Firefox for sometime. It was already on my MAC laptop and I had so much trouble with Safari recently that I decided to go back to Firefox. However, I just realized it is called FirefoxOptimized for Yahoo. And I hate it.
    Is there some way I can get a plain Firefox ?

  • Everytime I load upgraded Firfox 3.6.6 I get an error message saying the new version does not accept the proxy setting.

    == This happened ==

    In Firefox 3.6.4 the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Connection settings": [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select ''No Proxy''
