Firefox on MacBook, after the last update, Firefox is noticeably much slower loading websites. Why is that? Is there a fix? Can I return to the previous version? t

That covers it.

Hi tclark672,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[High memory usage]] or [[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]? There is a lot of great information in there and in our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section].
Hopefully this helps!

  • Since the latest update, my iTunes is EXTREMELY slow. I'm about to turn to Windows. Can it go back to previous versions?

    Slow in what respect?  Please be specific.

    Ummmm, could you ellaborate on how you plan to turn to Windows because iTunes (an application that runs on Windows) is running slow?

  • How can I return to a previous version of firefox?

    At this moment I'm running Firefox 35.0.1, and I think I wish to return to whatever was the previous version. I think Firefox updated to this version several weeks ago, and since then strange things are happening.
    First of all, I don not like the "manage search engine" set-up. It's different than the one I had a few weeks ago. Now there's nothing at all wrong with this new incarnation, I just don't like the drop down box, etc, (very small issue).
    My real concern is, when I'm on a web page, (pick one), any web page, I'll begin hearing audio from some ad. I frantically search the page to see where I can stop the audio, never finding any option. I'll minimize my window, to see if something is behind that window, which I can shut off, but to no avail. This has happened 3 times in the last 48 hours.
    Not earth shattering issues, I realize.
    But the question would be, is there an easy way that one could return to the version prior to 35.0.1, without damaging anything, (I'm not extremely tech savy).
    Thanks in advance, etc.

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

  • How can I return to a previous version of Numbers? Or how can I have all my sheets show on a column on the left hand side, as in the previous version?

    I updated my Numbers for Mac only to find out that there are several changes that make it less appealing for me so far (and I don't think it's only the learning curve). Questions: a) can I somehow edit the location of where I can find all the sheets (right now they are on top of the page, and you can't see all of them listed at quick glance but must scroll/arrow through them) I have in that spreadsheet? In the previous version they were all easy access on the left hand side.
    Or b) can one go back to a previous version of a program somehow?
    Thank you for any leads/answers!

    can I somehow edit the location of where I can find all the sheets (right now they are on top of the page, and you can't see all of them listed at quick glance but must scroll/arrow through them)
    On my machine I just hit shift-command-j (the keyboard shortcut I assigned in System Preferences) and a list of the sheets in the current document pops up:
    I type a number from the list and jump immediately to that sheet. The hands never have to leave the keyboard.
    (This particular document had a sheet named for each month.  But the sheets in your document automatically will be listed instead.)
    This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download).  To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    Installation will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu.  Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
    You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
    Note, also, that in Numbers 3 you don't have to use those left-right arrows upper right to slowly scroll left-right to the sheets that are out of view.  Just move your cursor up to the "band" with the "tabs" and drag left or right.  That's much faster than using the arrows.

  • Since last update iPAD 1 is much slower

    What can be done to return it to pre download speed?

    It's slow because it's running low on RAM.
    1. Stop all program running in background; double-click Home button to see them
    2. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

  • HT1918 On both my iPod Touch and iPad when I try to download a new app or update an old one I am stopped by a message that says there is a problem with billing on a previous purchase...please update your payment method. I have updated everything.

    The message also says that PayPal is not enabled on this device.  I don't know why it would try to bill PayPal for anything.  As far as I know I have not ordered anything except free apps.

    Well!
    We have to protest for it.
    If an error occurs with the download and we want to try again, the download MUST continue from the part where was interrupted, no start all again. We have to protest for it. Please, Apple Inc, try to fix it. It's very easy to do. If I am downloading a firmware version from iTunes and an error occurs with the download , you should put a button that reads "Continue the download from the interrupted part", no only a "OK" button that finishes the download and I have to start all again when I want to retry. Solve it, please.

  • The right side scroll bar on firefox no longer has an up and down arrow after my last update. I have to fix this! Please help!

    After my last update with Firefox, my right-hand scroll bar no longer has up and down arrows. I really need to get them back. I'm using a Mac laptop.

    So the whole button is missing. I have no idea how to fix the default theme, since it is inside omni.ja, which is not accessible from just any archive handler, and I have not found any way to open it. My problems were with third party themes, and I managed to fix those by editing parts of the themes.
    Maybe you could set up scrollbars yourself by using a userChrome.css file plus images. You could get some tips by opening third party themes and looking at their scrollbars.css files.

  • I am unable to print to the Lightning PDF software (by Avanquest Software) after updating to 6.02. It worked with the previous version of Firefox. Is there a patch or fix for this problem?

    I am unable to print to the Lightning PDF software (by Avanquest Software) after updating to 6.02. It worked with the previous version of Firefox. Is there a patch or fix for this problem?
    This is the error that is received:
    Cannot open file "C:\Users\Calandra\AppData\Local\Temp\Ask_a_Question__Firefox_Help.pdf". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
    Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to say that, but the entire system seems ill-designed.
    If I understand correctly, then to add a new Section to a site, you have to subclass SubSection and somewhow integrate that into the system?
    I would be my expectation that you only need to subclass SubSection when you tried to introduce a new type of SubSection.
    The title & all other natural language Strings should never be hardcoded in Java code, but rather taken from some external storage (Database, XML, flat files, ...).

  • Firefox update 10 won't open and the previous version 3.6 won't load any pages. I have done everything this site said to do. HELP?

    The last version of Firefox that I had was the one before 3.6. I stopped upgrading due to it always messing up and not working right for me... whether it be due to vista, or just errors on your part. My husband decided to upgrade firefox to the newest one two days ago because the version I had was just "too slow!" Ever since he did that, I cannot get firefox to open. No matter how many times I uninstall it and delete everything mozilla on my computer then reinstall after restarting my computer, it just refuses to open. Every time i try it says that firefox has stopped working. It cant even check for solutions. I then try to click on the icon and I get something that says: firefox.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_d09154e044272b9a\MSVCP80.dll is either not designed to run n windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
    I have tried installing it over and over again several times, same message shows up. So i had clicked on the link to go download the previous version of firefox... what sucks is that the only version on the site is 3.6.27. I have never upgraded to this. So the second i installed that version, i now am able to open up firefox... BUT it is unable to connect. I have internet... a pretty bad ass connection. So my internet is not the problem. I then looked up how to fix that issue and did all 5 things listed under the Firefox cant load pages but other browsers can link. Still nada! I am now stuck using IE and going insane. I am on the verge of throwing my laptop out of the damn window because I have to wait 3 hours for google to load. Nothing is working for me... and it would be appreciated for something more. If i can get help with a ton of details on what to do or how to fix this issue... either version... i would greatly appreciate it. I am going nuts having to put up with IE because my husband decided to update Firefox to a version that sucks with vista!

    Here is the system requirements page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html.
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older has the latest 3.6.x version, and http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ is another option.

  • Found 0 results for how do I UNINSTALL Firefox 9.0.1? I Installed it last night and Firefox has crashed maybe 20 times since then. The previous version almost never crashed. Please help

    Since installing Firefox 9.0.1 LAST night on my iMac, which is running OSX v. 10.5.8, Firefox is now crashing every few minutes. It usually happens as I go from one website to another -- when I click on a bookmarked website from my bookmarks, Firefox crashes just as the next website is coming up. I have NEVER had this problem with Firefox before. I need to uninstall and revert to the previous version of Firefox, but OSX doesn't have an easy "revert to previous configuration" routine. Or... please send out a fix for 9.0.1 (assuming others are having the same problem) right away.

    Thank you mha007. Actually, Verdi had solved the problem about 10 days ago. It was another Plug-in, Showcase, that was incompatible with the newest Firefox, so he told me to disable it, and that worked instantly. The other day, though, Firefox again started constantly crashing. This time I looked and found -- as you suggest -- another outdated plugin, in this case Silverlight. Don't know why it took ten days to start causing a problem, but as soon as I disabled it, everything was back to normal. I have NEVER had such problems with any new versions of Firefox, and I've been using it for ages, so this was pretty disconcerting to see how problematic the new version was.

  • My computer freezes when I try to log in to You Tube and is still "running" after I close it. How can I go back to my the previous version of Firefox?

    After downloading Firefox 4 Beta, my personal website does not display as it used to. The text is now aligned left when it was centered. Also, when I try to log in to You Tube, everything freezes. I have to use the computer task manager to close the browser. When I try to open Firefox again, I get a message stating it is still running and I must close it or re-start my computer to open Firefox again.
    I would like to return to the previous version of Firefox.

    You can get duplicate installation disks from Apple Customer Service.  You will have to provide them with the MBP serial number and there is a charge,
    Another option is to purchase the Snow Leopard retail disk from the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Either option should allow you to install an OSX.

  • Firefox alerted me that an update was available. I allowed firefox to install it. Firefox now has EVERY web site "Untrusted" and will not allow me to go there, not even to Microsoft's support page. How do I roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

    EVERY SITE IS UNTRUSTED, including support.mozilla.com
    The problem began as soon as I allowed Firefox to install the latest update.
    I want to UNINSTALL the latest update and roll the product back to the previous version that was working.

    Is the Date / Time set correctly on that PC?
