Firefox lags constantly in many ways
Firefox hangs constantly with everything. This started about 3 weeks ago. When I type in text it lags, when I watch youtube videos it lags, and when I scroll down in websites of all different kinds it lags. The problem is getting progressively worse. It used to be barely noticeable but now it is pretty severe. This does not happen in other browsers on my computer. It kind of acts like I have a virus, but I am running it on a Mac. If I restart my computer it starts out okay, but then it slowly builds up to the same place. Firefox acts like my computer is running out of RAM but often it is the only program running.
disable adblock plus and restart your browser.

I need to remove the default Firefox bookmarks.
There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me.
Also, I am vision impaired and reading through such a long list is very eye-fatigueing to me.
I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder. -
My laptop is quite old; that is a given fact. None of my programs are running well since I installed Firefox 4. It seems to have particularly compromised my Outlook and email downloads, also opening PDF files. Neither do I like the 'build' of Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 set to the way I like to work as my personal tool or implement. This is the way things should be, not the other way around. Please let me know of I can re-install an earlier version?
I will not be changing my laptop or operating system any time soon.To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
Firefox lags with youtube and .gif images
Everytime I try to watch a video on YouTube or even on other sites FireFox lags aprox every 10 seconds. Is annoying. The same thing happens with .gif images.
How can I fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== AlwaysThis can be a problem with session restore.
Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a crashed session.
If you have (security) software that interferes with that or have many tabs open then that cause cause a delay.
Some have reported that increasing the session store saving interval worked for them.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.interval

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/856718]]</blockquote>
I had 41 tabs open in about six groups over the last year and a half and I just close them and exited Firefox. Is there any way to get them back?
Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu. -
I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!? -
Many Ways to Update Your Firmware
The reasons for a firmware update differ from printer to printer, however the instructions listed on the website are basically the same. Some firmware updates are required to resolve a specific issue, others enhance features but are not required. You will often find a list for what the firmware enhances or fixes listed on your product's support website under the firmware's download link (continue reading for more information).
One method to determine if your product is up-to-date is to print a Printer Status Report or test report within the printer's setup menu which should indicate which firmware version the printer currently has. Next, go to the printer's support website at www.support.hp.com and type in your product name to look under the drivers' section in order to see if your firmware version matches the most recent one found on the website.
I have found a very useful tool to help you find out, not only if your product is in need of a firmware update, but also it will locate the serial number, product number, your current operating system and system type as well as the warranty status.
--Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Google Chrome)--
--Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Internet Explorer)--
If you have ePrint functionality on your printer or a web-services menu within the front panel, in the ePrint settings, clicking Product Updates can quickly install the firmware, however, from a personal perspective, I would recommend ensuring the printer is connected via USB or Ethernet to avoid risk of the update being interrupted as this can cause permanent damage to the printer, rendering it useless. This method may inform you no product updates are available so it is good practice to use my example above to be certain. Lastly, this will only work if your printer is connected to the network (Ethernet or wireless).
To update your firmware from your printer (these instructions were taken from the Officejet 6500A Plus):
"For easier use, HP recommends installing the firmware update through the product control panel instead of downloading the firmware update from this page. If your product is connected though a network (Wireless or Ethernet), you can easily and quickly install the firmware update directly through the product control panel. You must have an active Internet connection.
If you choose to download the firmware update from this page, your product must be connected through a USB connection.
Follow these steps to install the firmware update through the product control panel:
1. On the product control panel, touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
2. Touch Setup, and then touch the Down Arrow to display the Web Services Setup Menu.
3. Touch Web Services Setup.
4. Touch the Down Arrow to select Product Updates.
5. Touch Check for Product Updates."
Using the downloaded version from the website will ensure a secure connection and will require a PC. You will find, your operating system will determine the type of firmware update you receive at the website. That is why the above suggestion may work in some instances but not all.
To update your firmware from your PC:
Initial Step: go to www.hp.com/support and select the region you live in. Under the Drivers and Download Tab, type in the name or model number of your printer and press enter. Next, you will need to know the operating system of your device you intend to use to install the firmware update. Click here to discover your operating system.
Firmware Update Instructions (these instructions were taken from the LaserJet P1102w):
"*Please use a 2 meter (6 foot) USB High speed (2.0) cable.
1.Download the firmware update utility file to your desktop. Double click on the file.
2. Select the printer(s) you want to update from the list.
3. Click on the "Update All" or "Update One" button in the dialog window.
4. Following the on-screen instruction to proceed the upgrade. During the printer firmware update, the printer's LEDs will begin flashing.
5. Do NOT power cycle the printer or the PC during this process, or the printer may become unstable and/or unusable without further attention from HP. The firmware update can take several minutes to complete. Please be patient.
6. To verify the update, a configuration page can be printed. The configuration page will display the current firmware revision in the product information section.
Notes: If the firmware was already up to date, firmware was not altered. Otherwise, the Utility will display a dialog box at the conclusion of the successful firmware download indicating the download is complete."
LaserJet utilities are different than the common smaller printers. It is best to contact HP Support for assistance if you are not able to understand the difference by visiting the printer's business support website. Large printers can come in such an array of setup options, from servers to software, what may apply to one setup may not apply to another yet it could contain the same printer. If you have a commercial product, you may find additional assistance at the HP Enterprise Business Community which is an HP forum specific to those kinds of models.
I feel certain I just do not have enough bandwidth to go into even a general perspective on the different specifications of how to update the firmware of your commercial product.
To update your firmware through the EWS: Some models allow you to update the device through what is called the embedded web server (EWS). You can access this page of your printer by setting up the printer on a network (Wireless or Ethernet connection) and typing in the established IP address of it into the address bar of a web-browser (example: http:\192.168.1.101).
Click here to view a forum post on how to update your printer through its EWS.
System Requirements: Ultimately no additional prerequisites are needed beyond what I have explained above. You are required to have already installed the software specific to your printer for most firmware updates though. Once you click on the firmware update link provided at the website, you will see which operating systems it applies to, however, some updates are not needed for all operating systems. For example, a software patch may be a critical update for a computer running XP but would have no affect on a computer with Windows 8 or Mac.
I have provided this information in order to explain a few of the techniques used to update your printer to its fullest capacity. However, I have found through experience it is good practice to have an HP technician on the phone to assist you with this. Sometimes the worse has happened in regards to power outages, "blips" in the network, or just bad luck and this step has caused the printer to go into a state that it cannot return from. The terminology used to possibly revert back to a state prior to the firmware update is called "flashing the firmware" and this is only done via phone support and isn't a guaranteed fix.
I do hope you find this information useful as this is a question I have seen many times on the forums. This is simply a summary of the many ways to update your firmware in case one of the methods above are not working. For a more specific description, access the firmware link you are trying to update and read it carefully or click here to link to another forum post.
Click here to find an HP Support Contact in your region for further assistance.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
Every problem has a solution!Some great information there VisionAiry, many thanks Ciara

Firefox 31 CONSTANTLY hangs in Win 8.1 . . . and as usual, FF reps on this site blame anything and everything but the culprit: FF. It is quite maddening. I would love for a software company to own up to their own problems. It would be SOO refreshing.

So I am trying to copy my hard drive "Macintosh HD" to an external hard drive, i want to use Terminal and have tried many ways. For example cp -r /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" /Volumes/"NO NAME". When i do it says No such file or directory. Ideas?
The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem! -

In Firefox 10, is there a way to add two "Open a new tab" buttons like in Firefox 3.6?
In Firefox 10, is there a way to add two "Open a new tab" buttons like in Firefox 3.6?
This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!! -
I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.Opening question was truncated. Should read: "Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redundancy here. It would seem the practice of "improving service" has been accomplished with as much information as Mozilla has gathered in the last 6-18 months about its users habits. '''Isnt it about time to give users the option to opt out of that now that most the heavy liftiing has been accomplished?'''"

Hi folks,
In How Many ways or Techinques used to have relation beween two factables which dont have common dimesions
or
how to establish relation beween two factables.
Thanks
Ravindra KAvaliHi kavali1985,
According to your description, you want to build relationship between two fact tables without common dimension. Right?
In Analysis Services, to build relationship between two fact tables, at least you need to have "common" column in both tables which can link these two tables. If so, we can create a fact dimension based on one fact table, then build the relationship
with the other fact table. Please refer to link below:
Defining a Fact Relationship

M Fazal Ur RehmanFirst, you need to be able to boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.
Once at the Utilities Menu select Terminal from the Utilities menu in the screen's menubar. Now, you need to know where these new files are located. You move to any location using the 'cd' command such as cd /Users/user_name/Documents, then press RETURN. Replace user_name with your actual username. Next you need to do a directory listing to see if your files are in that location, Documents. Use ls -al to do a directory listing of the files and folders in Documents. If you find your new files there, then connect an external drive or flash drive. You will need to know the name you have assigned to this drive. It needs to be already formatted. Copy your files using cp /Documents/filename /Volumes/volname/filename. Replace volname and filename with those that apply. Press RETURN.
Or take it to your local Apple Store and see if they can do the chore for you. -
Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1. many people report being unable to open folders in their Eircom Webmail. There are two versions of Eircom Webmail-Basic and Advanced- and the problem only occurs in Advanced version. When clicking on folder it 'greys over' but does not open to display contents.
'''Eircom Support say this is a Firefox problem.'''See if this extension helps you.
