(Firefox is so extremely slow, it's unbelievable (google needs about 1 minute to load). Every other browser works perfectly fine. How is that possible

I love Firefox and I still want to use it but my love doesn't go as far as waiting one minute for every page to load.
I deactivated every Plug in. I tried with the other versions Firefox offers (moon something).
I uninstalled several times and installed it again.
Please Help Me!!!!!!

uninstall the proxytube addon and set firefox to "use no proxy" under options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in order to get back to the normal browsing speed

Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

Firefox 4 is extremely slow to perform any function on my lap top compared to previous versions. Why? And how do I change this!

Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

Firefox won't start up, when clicked, whereas every other browser works.

Can you start Firefox in Safe mode?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Another possible cause is 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.

Since yesterday morning Firefox can not load Facebook. Every other browser works fine. Tried many computers, both Windows and Macs, same issue. Help!

Facebook loads fine on multiple PCs and Macs in any number of browsers but NOT with Firefox on any of them. Started Friday AM. It tries to load but takes FOREVER and never gets "up". Frustrating since FF is my browser of choice despite the fact it has recently become the slowest of all the browsers I've tried. Be nothing like THIS slow. Other sites seem to be unaffected, just Facebook.

What you describe look like a problem of infection, for me.
I have W7 and FF34 as you, and FF is faster than Chromium.
So, except a problem of corruption of the code of your Firefox (and maybe problems generated by some addons or plugins), I' rather believe that there is malware(s) on your computer.
For FB, it could be the adware pushow**.dll, like pushow35.dll, in c:\windows\system32
What security programs do you use on your computer ?
If you want, you could also try to start Firefox in "safe mode", to see if there is a difference of speed and on FB.

Only firefox executing mysql query two times. but other browser works perfect why?

i am a web developer. and i am facing a problem only with firefox. every time i use MySQL query in my php code fire fox execute it two times. but same query is working fine on other browsers.

Yes, the problem is seen without extensions and also in safe mode.
But, I am starting to think that firefox is running low on memeory or CPU.
Without extensions the possibility of failing is 1 in 3.
I am still unable to explain why closing the browser or aborting the request can cause the stuck request to immediately reach the server.
Is there a way to collect Firefox logs and post it here ?

Why can't people click on anything on my website when using firefox. Every other browser works

hi guys,
so i have a website but people using firefox cant click on anything but the navigation at the top.
check the website out on IE or safari or chrome then compare it to firefox
anybody know why this is happening?
thanks!

Ok so I looked at whe the main problems were and it seems as though they were in my Wordpress widgets. I disabled those and now everything is clickable.
Only thing I'm not quite sure of is that the errors say that I have tags open or I missed closing them. But everything seems ok. I don't know the language that well (only very very basic stuff)
I'll try and see if I can figure it out. I think I'm putting <p> and font tags where I am not suppose to

Why Firefox netspeed is extremely slow, other browsers work well.

Firefox incoming netspeed is slow, only 1-4 Mb, should be 24Mb without loss.
All other browser shows 18-20 Mb.
Uninstall and reintall does not solve the problem, done several times.
F-Secure have been driven several times, no help.
F-Secure setup also checked.

A possible cause is 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.

[solved] Opera,firefox and wget extremely slow (dial-up style)

Hi there,
this is the first time i've tried Arch Linux (64bit), so bare with me please if i've got something stupidly wrong.
The Problem: Both Opera and Firefox are both extremly slow when opening websites. It "feels" like some kind of DNS problem, because the initial time before anything loads is quite long, but after that it goes quite quickly (though still a bit sluggish).
But here's the catch: Ping and loading websites in links work both perfectly fast.
For example accessing google.com in firefox: 40 seconds until page is loaded. In links about 1 second.
Wget seems to suffer from the same problem:
wget google.com
--2008-12-22 03:29:23-- http://google.com/
Resolving google.com...
It just takes a lot of time.
Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, i had a hunch:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv … the_Module
Adding the line to modprobe.conf solved the Opera and Firefox issues.
The behaviour of wget stays the same. Its still very very slow.
Programs that seem to be affected:
-wget
- ssh
- openntpd
Edit: Alright, the remaining issues were real network issues on my side. They are fixed now.

My airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless

my airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless..... please help!!!

Hi again Jen,
Most internet providers utilize "dhcp" -- you might want to check to see if your extreme is set to that function.
If you want to try, you need to go into airport utility and select MANUAL setup/ then click NETWORK button on top of the window. /select TCP/IP -- make sure that you see "Using DHCP" not MANUAL in the configuration window. If you do see using dhcp, click the renew dhcp lease button. Then you'd have to do the power down/up cycle again. If all this doesn't work, you can do a hard reset on your Extreme, which will bring it back to the way it came out of the box, then go through the same proccess that was used to set it up originally.

When i try to connect to facebook with firefox, facebook wants me to send in card informaion and says that there have been unusually behavior in my account even thought it hasnt, it works in every other browser?

When i try to connect to Facebook with Firefox, Facebook tells me to Verificate my account with my cardnumber and also my adress, it tells me that We detected some unusually behavior in your account, for your security in order to can access your account please send us all requried informations, the credit card number must be yours or a member of your family. We won't save the credit card in our datebase and won't make any charges. We ask only for verification purpose.
Why is this? Facebook works with every other browser and on other computers and i dont have trojan.

I had the same prob. but recently i just formated my laptop and after that it starts working finely in firefox i think it was a kind of virus that discont. after formating the laptop. only windows drive....

Firefox program is extremely SLOW.

I have used Firefox for a long time. I don't know what happened lately, but my Firefox is extremely SLOW. Takes minutes to change or to move to another item or chose another TAB. For awhile the screen would get weak and fad almost blank. When logging in to Firefox, it takes 4 to 5min. for Firefox to become active. My wife uses Internet Exp. That browser works good for her. I also, have Google Chrome and it works OK.

I too am having this problem. Or it just freezes. What the hell? I thought updates were suppose to be an improvement, not a back step. What can I do to solve this problem? I'm getting really ticked.

After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

My Mac is travelling extremely slow. Applications bounce for at least a minute before opening (if they open at all). Any time i click the mouse or start typing i intantly get the colour wheel. Help!!!

My Mac Daddy is running extremely super slow. It has been gradually getting slower over the last week or so but now it is ridiculous. Not just safari. Apps bounce for about a minute before opening (if they open at all) have had a "Application not responding" message when i right click on the icon. Every single time i click the mouse or begin to type i get the colour wheel. I have Mac Keeper and have runs scans, all okay and now mac keeper wont open at all. It even takes a couple of minutes to quit apps and even to shut down. HELP!!!

To build on you main question, i would take a look at this:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
If you still are not happy with performance then consider reinstalling Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
