Firefox now takes 5 minutes to connect to first website after i connect to it

Since I updated to the latest Firefox, after I reach my Firefox homepage and attempt to reach any websites, I have to wait up to 5 minutes before the page loads...this is very very frustrating and time consuming.....once the page loads usually I can get to another one fast but occasionally it happens again and I have to wait another 5 minutes....helppppppppppp

Sorted....
had to turn off "Send all traffic over VPN connection"
Go to System Preferences then Network then VPN.
Click the "Advanced"-button and check if 'Send all traffic over VPN connection' is set.
If so, then uncheck.

iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences(PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.

After updating to 6.0.2 firefox now takes a really long time to open a window after starting the program

Was prompted to update firefox. Did so, appeared to install correctly.
Now when I open firefox it takes over a minute to open a new window.

Common problem with other complaints under "stall", "freeze", and "hang". Try clicking the refresh button every 5 seconds until the page loads (usually second, third, or fourth try) instead of waiting.
Maybe it will be fixed in FF7. Mozilla is simply not addressing the problem.

Opening Applications Now Takes Minutes, NOT seconds

As I wait for MS Word 2008 to open I have plenty of time to send this note. It now takes FOREVER to open applications, word, excel, iWeb, iPhoto and others to open.
What's up with that!
Why is this now happening?

Resolve the conflict/corruption in the original account. This can be a laborious process, but is guaranteed to resolve the problem. Create a new admin user account, log into it, backup the bad account's folder (to another volume, partition, or disk), delete the bad account, selecting the *save data* option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. Open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it, keeping track of what you're moving to the new account so you can remove them if you encounter problems in the next step. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Good luck.

Transport-level error has occurred...No Process is on the other end of the pipe upon first ExecuteQuery() after successful connect.

I’m running MS SQL Server 2005, Express Edition, SP3 on Windows XP. Local connections only.
In preparation to restore a database, I use IWSQLDMOServer::KillProcesses() to allow the database restore. (IWSQLSMOResore::SQLRestore()) The restore is successful and I appear to be able to connect OK. (No error indication on the
connect) However, the first time I try to use the database via an ExecuteQuery() the call fails and the connection state is changed to Closed. I also get the “Transport-level error has occurred...No Process is on the other end of the pipe” exception.
Closing and restarting the application fixes the problem.
Also, disconnecting and reconnecting twice before the ExecuteQuery() call also fixes the problem.
So, I can hide the problem by connecting twice, but I am hoping there is a better solution.

It appers when you connect for the restore process, you are opening a different session than that of the original one, with a different database context.
The first time you try to execute a query, you attempt to use the session that was open BEFORE the KillProcesses() call and therefore was killed. By the time you run the first time, your client is informed that the previous session is no longer available.
In the second time, as your client was informed that the original session was killed, it opens a new one.
Its the same behavior as in SSMS.
As a workaround, you could change your database context of your
current session to a base that wont be restored, call the restore methods, and then switch back to the original database context.

My browser's are 'unable to connect' to some websites after upgrading to mavericks.

the message i get is:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.adobe.com.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
this is happening on reliable sites such as www.adobe.com, however, there are other sites that also won't load such as (http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html), and though it seems specific to adobe. i had a friend try going to the adobe site on a different machine running osx 10.6 and they could load the page fine. i tried firefox and safari and neither will load the page.
i'm running:
os x 10.9.2
processor- 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
thanks,

You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Back up all data.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Stop D2 from connecting to VZW website on USB connection

I recently got my Droid 2, and one very annoying thing it does is when I hook it up to my pc through the USB cable. When the D2 is on USB mass storage setting, my web browser will automatically connect to a Verizon website that tries to sell apps for the droids. Even if it weren't inconveniencing me, I would want to delete this "feature" because I don't feel like having advertising shoved down me constantly!
I use Firefox for a browser, but my guess is that is basically irrelevant.
Thanks for any assistance!

There is nowhere else to look. Moto connect gets installed on the PC. It is not part of Android nor vcast.

Safari works but Firefox takes forever to load yahoo and youtube after switching to Time Warner.

Strange. Safari works just fine, but as soon as I switched to Time Warner, Firefox now takes almost a minute to load certain pages such as Yahoo, Youtube and google.
I have a Macbook Pro. I've rebooted the modem, Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox while cleaning out the the folders. I've tried safe mode but still the delay.
I changed my DNS server to the OPENDNS servers.
Help.

After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

Airport Extreme goes down a few minutes after successful connect

I have a new Eee PC 1000 and an Airport Extreme base station. Both support 802.11n I can connect just fine, but after being connected for ten minutes or so, the connection stops working. Worse, it also makes my Mac Mini's wifi connection to the Airport Extreme base station stop working, and the Airport Extreme has to be power cycled before a computer can successfully connect to it again.
I happened to purchase a new Airport Extreme base station for another location a few days ago, and found the same problem. In both cases, the problem was 100% repeatable.
Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar? Can anyone please suggest a fix?

"Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar? " - just read half a dozen messages on this forum - thousands are experiencing this or related issues!
"Can anyone please suggest a fix?" - there's no shortage of suggestions, but none seem to actually work! The most successful I have found to date is disabling "n" and forcing it back to "b/g" - but even that only reduces the frequency of disconnects to one or two per day...
Only fix I know is to put it on eBay and buy Netgear - but even then my Mac Book drops out inconveniently frequently!

Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade

Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network. Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is
There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".
You do not have permission to access this server.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have been searching high and low since yesterday afternoon for an answer to this. My problem is not connecting to an SMB share (well, it was, as the old Cmd+K to connect to the SMB share would close quickly) but instead of the old Mac way of using Cmd+K and the IP address, I simply clicked on the available NAS SMB share under Shared and it is a massively fast connection. The old SMB connection would take minutes to open the next folder. So, connecting as you would under Windows helped fix that problem, BUT...
1. The NAS SMB share times out regularly and you have to eject & reconnect. Annoying.
2. Worse than this is I can not open any documents on the share, only navigate it. I have to copy paste the documents to my local ssd, manipulate, copy back. Any new file I copy on, or edit and copy on, the NAS SMB share I can navigate to and open. But if I try to click a pre-Mavericks existing file, I get "Can not open 'excel/word/acrobat.app' with the -36" error. Total BS.
3. Even more weird, if I click spacebar on ANY file on the SMB Share it will pop up in preview. Double click to open and error message.
4. If I copy a document attached to an email (Outlook 2011) to the server it is corrupt. If I copy the file to local ssd, then to the NAS SMB, the same file works perfectly fine.
This is completely ridiculous and needs a fix immediately. I'm going to try using Reinfire's link right now and see if that helps.
My NAS is a Netgear ReadyNAS 516 (linux/unix OS) I use in my office. Computer is MBPr March 2013.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

I was having problems with my Adobe Flash plugin crashing occasionally during my game playing on Facebook. After researching it on the Firefox Help site, I upgraded. It now takes forever to load, if at all, and loses the connection. What gives?

The game eventually loads but now takes forever. If I switch to a different section of the game, it also is slow. It wasn't before I upgraded to the "new, improved" version. I was better off with the old Adobe plugin and putting up with the occasional crashing.

Firefox takes minutes to load upon starting up and changing web pages

When I open firefox in Windows Vista, it takes minutes(sometimes up to ten) to start up.Once firefox has loaded and I go to visit another web page, it takes minutes to load that web page. I downloaded Firefox 3.6.7 when it first came out, and it just recently started doing this. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, but this did not work. It is not a problem with my internet connection or operating system, because internet explorer and safari only takes seconds to load up and load web pages. I have run various scans to see if it was a virus or a bug, but nothing came up. How do I fix this, because using Internet Explorer is really getting on my nerves?
