Firefox is extremely slow. Why can't you get a human being???

Firefox is extremely sluggish and won't even open pages like Facebook and if it does the wheel will spin and spin and nothing loads.
The problem is definitely Firefox because the problem does not exist in Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari.
I also would like to know why you cannot get technical support from a human being anymore??

Hey scjax2014, Sorry to hear that you have been having problems with Firefox(FYI, I am a human being)
If there are issues with certain sites,it may be due to issues with the cache and clearing it may help.
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], choose History, and then Clear Recent History....
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
If not, you may need to reset or clean install FF(which im sure will solve your problem)
Thank you.

When is Apple going to fix the problems with IOS8 Safari either won't work or is very slow.why can't you contact Apple themselves rather than this method?

ssince updating my IPad to IOS8 Safari does not work properly ie Marriott website it tells me no server is available yet Google works and other web search have the same problem when is Apple going to get fixes out soon I hope.Also why can't we contact Apple direct on this matter ?

Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
There re are ways to contact Apple directly. Look here for help.

How do you get a human being from Apple for customer service? This is the worst customer support ever seen!

How do you get an actual human being to speak with at apple to help with customer service?

The Apple Support COMMUNITIES is a user-operated apple-run page where users of the COMMUNITY help other people the best they can. Apple employees do not have anything to do with this page apart from own the servers and design it. If you want to speak to Apple then go to their Customer Support here: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/
Remember, this isn't a customer support page, it's a community forum based on using Apple products. If you wish to refer to Apple employees then this is the wrong website.
Hope this helps.

Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
Thank you

Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
Buy a larger capacity iPod
Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
What happens when you try
What else is on your iPod.
Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

Firefox is extremely slow to shutdown

For me this a very annoying problem!
Firefox is '''extremely slow''' to shutdown, and I can't imagine what is it doing for so long after I have closed all frames and windows (note that I am '''not '''requesting to save the session).
I tried the solutions posted in older posts (https://support.mozilla.com/it/questions/809195) with no effect. The only add-ons that I have active are the Norton tools (I have Norton Internet Security 2011) and NoScript, plus sometimes Downloadhelper,
but I tried to disable everything and the problem remains, so it's something in the Firefox core.
After a short navigation the delay in closing Firefox is tolerable, but after having surfed the net for a while the delay may get huge, like 5' or even 10'! It's incredible!
The process monitor displays a firefox process taking a lot of memory (> 500 MB sometimes) and many plugin-container processes that also take a long time to close.
Before shutting down firefox requests even more memory, so that the allocated memory has a peak, then it finally drops.
Another strange thing is that if I kill the firefox process I get the memory quickly freed without any apparent damage, so what?
This problem has showed up with the latest versions of Firefox (4 and 5), I don't remember such a behavior one year ago or more.
I would appreciate very much some help and insight from someone of the developers, as well as feedback from other users, of course.

Are you using Clear Recent History to clear the Cookies when you close Firefox?
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
That can cause plugin-container processes to appear that Firefox opens to clear cookies from plugins.

Why can I only get on firefox web sites and Facebook?

I have run virus scans and have checked for updates for firefox, when ever I attempt to access these updates my firefox browser shuts down and I have to open it again. There are no viruses or malware on my computer and everything but firefox is updated! Why can I not access anything but the firefox help page and my Facebook?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Why can't you answer any of my question's? I'm done wasting my time

Firefox has been a problem ever since it was installed!! It won't allow downloads,plugins,printer stopped working, getting error message I sent you. AGAIN WHY CAN'T YOU HELP ME BY AT LEAST TELLING ME HOW TO MINIMIZE ALL THE LETTERS. THIS JUST STARTED 2 DAYS AGO AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I'VE TRIED. WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS-DO YOU NOT GET IT EITHER?I'M SO UPSET W/ YOU! I CAN'T DO TROUBLESHOOTING-I'M IN THE RADIOLOGY FIELD FOR 38 YRS. I'M FAR FROM BEING A COMPUTER EXPERT!!YOU DON'T MAKE IT EASY!

I don't see that you've ever asked a question here before, nor can I see a complete question in your all caps jumble which is very hard to read.
However a couple of days ago the servers were messed up and undoubtedly questions as well as a great many answers may have been lost. So why don't you tell us in normal letter case what your questions are? Look at the bottom of the following report http://health.support.com/ and at the top of the report it looks like things are working now. We are volunteers (Firefox users like you).

Hi,
I'm very sorry you're disliking Firefox 29 and I want to thank you for letting us know how you feel here. Please note that feedback about development decisions and UI implementation and any other feedback will need to be routed to input.mozilla.org/feedback where the developers get that information. Don't expect a reply back though 
Here, we are all volunteers which is why we tell users to go to Input.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]

Why can't you keep addons compatible with your very frequent new version releases?

While I understand that you don't write the addons, it is very frustrating to me, that you keep releasing major version releases every few months, and the result is large numbers of incompatabilities. Why can't you make your builds more forgiving for addons? For instance I cannot use Norton Internet Security's toolbar right now - that's a pretty major addon, and I think it's on Mozilla to ensure some form of compatibility, or at the very least, have common REQUIREMENTS published, so vendors aren't left guessing every time.

This is a fake page, do update only from official page:
*[http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/]
This page comes up when you click on a link? Open Firefox?
Try Start in Safe Mode, sometimes this problem is caused by addons:

Case the problem doesnt occur in Safe Mode:

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?

Why can't you trim or merge (pathfinder) a gradient?

Whenever I try to trim or merge a gradient it only divides it, but when it's solid it works. Why? I'm trying to trim/merge some artwork with a lot of gradients and it's making it impossible. If anyone knows of a way to do this with gradients please let me know. Here is an image of what I'm talking about showing it working with solids, but not gradients.
<a href='http://postimg.org/image/6oew6ezdr/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s11.postimg.org/6oew6ezdr/trim.jpg' border='0' alt="trim" /></a>

Yes I mean why can't you trim or merge a gradient object (not mesh gradient) like a solid object? Both are objects and both get split in some way without effecting the gradient itself (besides splitting the object of course). So why is it that it only allows gradient objects to basically be divided only, but not merged or trimmed. It seems like it should work, but for some reason is treats solid objects as solid objects and gradients objects as solid objects with overprint fill applied. I really wish Adobe would address this as it doesn't make sense to clip out the gradient area if the gradient isn't required to change. What's the point of having the trim or merge if it only divides it? What's the point of leaving objects underneath the gradient? It just seems to defeat the purpose of both operations.
For anyone else following this thread the way to workaround this is by copying each gradient, pasting behind (ctrl+b) and then changing it to a solid color that is not in the design. Once you trim or merge you can select same fill color to delete the solid color from underneath and then you are just left with the gradient properly trim/merged. The bad news is this is super time intensive if you have 100s of gradients on multiple different levels as paste behind pastes only directly behind the object you had selected, so if your order is not perfect some objects will actually paste in front which you don't want.
Alternatively you could trim or merge everything and then select same fill color and then reunite each gradient, but that changes the gradient position itself so you'll have to reapply the correct angle, etc to each gradient which again is time consuming.
For all those wondering why do I need to be able to do this. I work with spot colors which have to be trapped correctly with gradients. This requires overlapping gradients and doing overprint fills to make sure they blend properly. If I trim/merge the gradient objects if puts lines through the gradient that shows up in print and makes it more difficult to apply the underlaying color correctly.
