FIrefox is slower now even with the same addons on the same PC

been using firefox for some time now, updated to v29 and found it slower then previous version.
about 2 weeks ago, loading times started to get slower/longer, even with the same amount of plugins installed, tried starting in safe mode, with all addons disabled and got the same result.
have run a speedtest and all seems normal on my end, gaming online as well as streaming vids seem ok as well, only take more time to load vids tho.
any solution to this problem?

Note that such issues can possibly be caused by security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2?

Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2? Earlier when checking for updates there were compatibility issues. Were these issues resolved to allow me secure operation with Firefox 4.0?

I also am a zone alarm user and was not to happy about the issue with 4.0
I use sky .fm for music and was not happy when it would not play. required update to latest flash,which didn't work no matter what. even the suggestion in another thread.

Macbook Pro Early 2008 running slow, hot even with upgrades - what to do?

Hello!
Specs:
I have a Macbook Pro Early 2008 (Model A1260). I have upgraded both the RAM (from 2GB to 4GB DDR2 667) and the HDD (from the factory installed 200GB 5400 to a 750GB 5400).
Previous to this, I was running Leopard, and upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion as my specs match the requirements. On the old/original HDD and RAM, All was good for about 3 months, and in the past month or two, I began to have performance issues, so after trying everything (including a clean wipe & reinstall using Lion Recovery) and doing a lot of reading in these forums and others, I decided/hoped the problem would be remedied with some upgrades (hence the new HDD & RAM upgrades).
This has helped to the point where I can now run safari without having to force reload or having the whole computer freeze (although that has now happened once), but I wasn't even able to load a youtube video.
CPU Usage:
I checked the activity monitor and I'm getting a pretty constant CPU usage of about 50% (even with no other apps running):
(The above is with just Safari, Dropbox, smcFanControl & Activity monitor)
My fans are engaged constantly (smcFanControl has my computer at 75º-80ºC at any given time that it's on).
The CPU usage & temps seems high - but I am not sure haven't found very good answers online.
Things I've Tried (Post RAM & HDD Upgrades):
I tried to perform a hardware test (holding D before the gray screen) - and both times I tried it, it did not work, as in Lion just loaded as normal.
Ran repair permissions - and some things were repaired.
Tried to run Verify Disk - no dice - the computer froze and I had to use the power button to shut it off & restart
Reset the SMC per apple support instructions - had no effect on the fans or heat (though I'm still not sure if this is a real problem or not!)
What I'm looking for :
Any ideas on what could be going on - is this just par for the course on older models running lion, or is there something more to be done?
I am really hoping to squeeze a few more years of service out of this machine! Thanks for any advice you can give me!

Incase you are using your MBP like a laptop (which it is NOT)...................
According to the user manual it states in part:
"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."

"Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

M9 Very Slow Charging Even With Quick Charge 2.0 Chargers

I have a continuing problem with very slow charging even with Quick Charge 2.0 chargers. For example last night I had the M9 plugged into a fast charger for over 12 hrs and it went from 5% battery to 87%. I checked the Settings - Battery usage history - and it displays "NO APPLICATIONS FOUND" - very strange...
Something is very wrong. I have multiple 2 amp and quick chargers all with poor charging times. I have tried each of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW1GE9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L40YJ8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TAOEKPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HP0FOCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
The Ampere app displays varying charger power from 15 mA to 880 mA so I don't think it is accurate.
Testing with multiple chargers point to the problem in the M9. This is maddening. Seriously considering returning the M9.
Any feedback?

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default position.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default button. I made sure it was newly recognized (by unchecking and rechecking) in
Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Snap To: Automatically move pointer to a default button in a dialog box > Apply > OK
But the Fox isn't cooperating. How do I get this working again?

I'm afraid I don't understand how your reply relates to my problem. I'll type the words I don't understand in your answer:
"default dialog button" (where do you find this?)
"mouse middle-click button" (I have a wheel)
"Global default" I don't know what that is, so, apparently, it doesn't apply to me.
"IntelliMouse" I don't have this either, just an old, dumb "Dell mouse" ;-)
"dialog box" is that what I'm hoping the cursor will be moved to? If so, how do I get it to move there on it's own? What's the purpose of "Snap to" if I have to move the cursor there myself?

I experienced the same prob with Yosemite where my screen went black on startup. I was able to "fix" it and log into my qccount but my mac is running super slow now even just at simple clicks and commands. How can I fix this? Help please!

I updated to Yosemite and everything worked great for a few days until earlier. My mac was plugged to my TV via HDMI wen everything hanged. I did a hard reset and the screen was just black during startup. There were the startup sounds but no images from the screen. it did have images at one point where it gave me options to reset my password. I did a couple of hard reboots and pressed Alt/Option or Cmd+Option+P+R based on previous posts. Didnt know which w but I was able to access my account and log in. My big problem right now is that my Mac became super slow. Even at the simple commands/clicks

My mac was okay up until a few hours ago. If anyone knows how to fix this, would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Why did my saved passwords disappear, and now even with private browsing off I cannot get Firefox to save the passwords over again. Care to help on this????

The most recent version of Firefox just loaded onto my computer and all of my previously saved passwords are gone. To top it off I went in to the Privacy settings and turned off private browsing in order to start saving my passwords again, and it will not save, it doesn't even give me the pop up to ask if I want to save it. Care to help here? I'm way beyond angry right now, some of those passwords were rather unique and I will have a hard time recalling them exactly so not looking forward to having to reset them...

You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Firefox 4.0 The menus flash like a keyboard key is held down. Can't access them even with all plugins turned off. Same issue on multiple machines with different versions of Windows. How can this be resolved?

FF 4.0. The menus flash like a key is being held down making them inaccessible. The problem persists with all plugin's turned off. Firefox box in top left corner not showing. The old FF logo show there instead.

Turning off hardware acceleration worked in all cases.
With hardware acceleration enabled the menu flashing did not occur on the primary display, only the secondary display of a two-monitor system.

I just had my logic board replaced. now im having trouble using the interent even with a strong connection and the internet is working on other devices!! please help me :(

I just had my logic board replaced. i am now having trouble with using the interent even with a strong connection. all other devices are having no problem with the internet. please help

Test while started in Recovery : if the problem persists, then it likely is a hardware issue.
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) probably won't change anything, but you can readily do it before contacting the repairers.

I just downloaded firefox 5 and now I have no search bar in the top right. How do I get it back?

After restarting the computer when firefox 5 had been downloaded the search bar in the top right is now missing.

See if it is on the Customize Toolbar window. If so, while the Customize Toolbar window is open, drag it to the location you want it. To open the Customize Toolbar window, do one of the following:
*click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
*using the Menu Bar: View > Toolbars > Custonize
*HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTC
*right-click on a blank space on a toolbar or at the end of the Tab Bar and choose "Customize".
If "Search" is not on the Customize Toolbar window, click "Restore Default Set" at the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window and look again.

Open email & top of bar says fire fox not responding & get script error on page asking to stop script or continue. Loading most mail or sites is slow now that I returned from Japan and using same laptop. Any ideas?

my laptop stops responding when I open email right in the middle of writing email or checking email and when I open bookmarks. Up the top it says firefox not responding and a script error block opens asking me to continue or stop script. It give me this same error all the time no matter if I select continue or stop script.

As far as email sites go. The "Adblock Plus" extension with at least the "EasyList US" filter subscription would probably help. I does block a lot of unnecessary Script files whose sole purpose is to provide advertising. You can of course add additional filter subscriptions or filters of your own.
There are many extensions that can cause such problems, and you may have to go through your extensions.
One thing you might do is eliminate Problematic Extensions that you are not using, but mainly check to see how the create problems and you may have to make a choice between extensions. The Unresponsive Script Warning page lists some extensions with problems (thought it listed more) and describes how to check through your extensions to help find which extension is the problem Sometimes the message will tell you.

Firefox very slow on pages with HTML textareas

I have a webpage with several hundred separate TEXTAREA fields within a single FORM.
Firefox handles this but excruciatingly slowly. Google Chrome handles the same page very very quickly and IE8 is somewhere in between the two.
Please try to improve performance on TEXTAREAs since I could not bear the thought of recommending any browser other than Firefox to my users.

Ah - thank you for the prompt reply.
It is actually taking about 6 seconds for my page to appear on-screen; thereafter typing into one of the textareas seems okay. The same screen paints in half-second using Google Chrome

Slow performance even with 2GB of RAM

I am a long time Windows user and last week I finally made the switch. I had been contemplating making the switch over to a Mac ever since the Macbook Pros came out but they were a little out of my price range. Needless to say when the Macbooks came out I was sold. I bought a white 2.0 GHz Macbook. I noticed that it was a little sluggish when I ran several programs (i.e. Safari, iTunes, Mail, etc). According to several posts I have read this is to be expected with only 512MB of RAM. However, I recently upgraded to 2GB of RAM (2x1GB Patriot SO-DIMM DDR2 PC-5300). I have read several posts that say that with 2GB of RAM the system "just flies" or "cuts through programs like butter". I didnt really notice the speed boost that I was expecting. I was expecting programs to open right when I click on the icon but it still lags a little. Is there something else I need to do after I install the RAM? Is seems as though with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo and 2GB of RAM I should see a substantial boost in speed. I think my 2GB of RAM is fine. The system profiler registers the new RAM at 667 MHz and everything seems to be ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm getting the same thing, and I don't think it's the RAM, since I've already tried 2 different brands, one was a knockoff Samsung from eBay and another is authentic Samsung, from eBay, so still could be knockoff.
However, I mostly run Windows on my MacBook and notice no slowdowns, but when I boot into OSX, it is almost unusable, even the dashboard stutters into view. I checked out the System Analyzer and found no programs hogging up resources, and iStat nano reports 1.5GB RAM free!
So I don't get it, Apple's hardware test shows no problems, one of these nights I'm going to run Memtest for OSX to see if anything shows...
If I put my original Hynix 512MB memory back in, the sluggishness is gone, but it still runs like a machine with a low amount of memory.
Someone suggested creating a new account, so I am going to try that tonight. I sort of want to reload OSX, but would hate to go through all of that work if it's not gonna help.
Any help would be appreciated!
