Firefox is unbearably slow after updating (/questions/985969)

Extremely slow in paging up or down. CPU usage is at least 25%. The delay can be anywhere from 2 -20 or 30 seconds. It effects other programs that are active.

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
Also please update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Firefox is unbearably slow after updating to version 27

After updating to Firefox 27 all webpages take a few dozen seconds to several minutes to load. When loading a webpage Firefox's status displays "connecting" and the CPU gets maxed out with 95 to 100% of its cycles taking by Firefox.
The computer is older so it is a little slow but Internet Explorer 8 has no trouble opening the webpages and neither do other computers on the LAN so it is not a network issue. I have tried restarting Firefox, disabling add-ons, deleting add-ons, disabling hardware acceleration, restarting the computer, and reinstalling Firefox after wiping every trace of it and its user data from the hard drive and registry.

Rather a long thread so I will add some comments here where easily seen.
* For general problems please see my post [/questions/985969?page=3#answer-546520] Updated 30th April 2014 to mention the outstanding known issue (aka the bug with only three votes)
* Just below that ''jigebren'' has kindly summarised some workarounds at that particular time and the issues found from this thread [/questions/985969?page=3#answer-546599]

* Workaround, A chrome hack to disable the throbber may resolve the issue as a workaround allowing pages to load quickly. See my post [/questions/985969?page=4#answer-595327]

I had a very similar issue on a similar computer (Windows XP SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, Nvidia GeForce FX 5500), and it came down that in my case the slowdown was simply introduced by animations (I believe the simple rotating icon on the tab was enough to slow the loading of a webpage).
The CPU used to reach around 100% in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Manager#Performance Kernel mode] (for info this is the red line in the Windows Task Manager. To enable it go to the "Performances" tab then in the "View" menu ensure "Show kernel times" is selected).
To know if you face the same issue:
* Type "about:support" in the address bar and press Enter.
* In the "graphics" section check the line with the entry "AzureContentBackend".
* If the value is "cairo" you may well face the same issue than I did.
In that case I have found a workaround:
* Type "about:config" in the address bar and press Enter.
* Search for "gfx.content.azure.backends".
* The value should be "direct2d,cairo". Edit it to be simply "direct2d" (ie. remove "cairo"), then restart Firefox.
I have already filled a bug report which can be found here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=973149
Feel free to add feedback if you have the same issue.

Firefox is unbearably slow on XP after updating (/questions/985969)

Typing is very slow in textboxes in Firefox 28 on XP Pro SP3

You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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.

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

Chances are you have applications that are out of date and need to be updated. Another possibility is Spotlight is indexing and you to wait until it has finished.

When you run out of real RAM you start writing to free hard disk space. This is paging in/out. This is much slower than using real RAM
Add more RAM Basics
Open System Profiler > Hardware
Copy the Serial number and model identifier
Under Memory in System Profiler, you'll see how many slots and what is installed. You need matching pairs. Most likely you will have to replace RAM you have installed unless you have 4 slots and are only using 2 slots.
Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/specs/
Copy the Serial number in the "Search Tech Specs" search box. This will take you to the info on your computer.
Next using the Identifier and with the knowledge of your exact model and how much RAM you can install, go to this site: (There are several sources for memory. This one has good prices and has the video showing how to install)

hi my mac ppc g5 very slow after update mac os x 10.5.8

See if you can hop over to the PowerMac forums.

I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5

Hello
I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5
Is my hardware not good for this new OS ?
Can I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion OS and make it faster ?

Mountain Lion won't make it faster. It may not even be compatible. Speed has a lot to do with what is installed, installation of utilities that actually slow you down, such as MacKeeper, or any cache cleaning softawre. Installation of utilities that you don't need such as anti-virus or firewall software. Peer2peer software. Other devices sharing the same network can slow it down too, make sure your network is secure, and you know what is sharing the network. Some websites may be slower on Safari, and an alternative browser* is needed.

Firefox won't start after update - nothing in support pages helps

windows 7 - firefox won't start after update - no support pages are relevant

Check and tell if its working.

Iphone 5 VERY SLOW after updating to IOS 6.1.3. What is wrong? Restoring it does nothing.

My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3. I've tried restoring it and nothing works. What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own

I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day. I will definitely not buy any Apps.
the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad. Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am. Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days.
With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap. It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
This is really hopeless and pointless
Disappointed, really disappointed and displease. anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me.

Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?

I wanted to know if iphone 3gs gets slow after updating to ios5?..and what features are missing for 3gs

I have iphone3gs just upgraded to iOS5 just now.
So far i am not experiencing any slow down because of the new iOS.. Rather i feel like its slightly faster than the previous version (4.3.5)..
One of the first thing i want to try was the location based reminders.. After upgrade i coudn't find the option, and went trough the user manual to find out that it is not available for 3gs..:(

My mac become more slower after update to Mountainlion

My mac become more slower after update to Mountainlion
What shoudl I do? can you guys help me? BTW I have update my RAM to 8G
Thank you

What is your Mac?
What did you update from? 10.6 or 10.7?
If from 10.6 or your machine was at 10.5 at one time, it might be too old/slow for 10.8, you might want to revert to 10.6 again.

What do you notice is slower than before? Like Internet or booting or loading programs or UI feel or what exactly?
If it's the Internet, then check this out

Now a fresh install of OS X usually does wonders, this would mean you will need to take acurate account of your installed programs, passwords, export bookmarks and backup all your data to a external storage drive. Keep the boot drive data below 50% filled ideally, (not much for you apprantly, just reduce 50GB of data)
Most commonly used backup methods
Write down your AppleID and password to reinstall 10.8
When your sure, then hold command r boot into Recovery, use Disk Utility to Erase (middle selection) the Macintosh HD partition and wait, it's going to map off fialing sectors. When done quit and reinstall 10.8 fresh and install programs and files from backup into the same named accounts.

That should make things zippy again. Also a #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine

Another method is this, it's a defragging/performance speed up step, you won't have to reset everything up again from scracth like a fresh install method does. But it requires paid software and a external drive, but makes a excellent bootable backup in the process that can save your behind one day.
