Firefox on MacBook Pro Slowed To A Crawl - Anyone Else Had This Problem???

Hey Folks,
I have Mac Book Pro with 2gigs of ram. Firefox has run great on it, until the other day. I had systems crash while using firefox.
After that firefox runs very slow. I tried uninstalling then re-installing firefox. Still the same problem.
I even re-installed the Mac OS software.
Still the same problem????
Anyone have any ideas whats going on and how to fix?
At this point Firefox isn't usable because it has become so slow.

Yes. I've had this problem developing over the past several weeks. I thought it was a bad extension so I removed them one by one. Then I actually removed and re-installed but that didn't solve he problem. I've now removed it and switched back to Safari until I read an acknowledgement and a fix from Mozilla.
I'm not sure this is related but it's sure one heck of a coincidence... My Yahoo Messenger was taking an extremely long time to launch. I'd get the spinning beachball for upward of 30 seconds before I'd see the logon screen. Since removing Firefox that problem seems to be gone as well. Just for reference, I had been using the latest release of Firefox.

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica client but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?
When I installed firefox, it asked if I wanted to use safari settings and I said yes but I think this might be causing the problem. Safari is no longer compatible with citrix ica client. When I reinstalled firefox it automatically installs the safari info. Does anyone know how to re-install firfox without installing safari info?

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?

Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

Hello Steven.
There have been similar reports, yes. You may be 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 coming from 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] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. 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 theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I recently purchased a new Mack Pro, the monitor camera is very intermittent, has anyone else had this problem?

I recently purchased a Mac Pro (one month old) since day one I have found that when trying to use Face Time the camera is very intermittant, originally I thought it was a problem with the software, but have since realized that if I place a slight pressure on the right hand corner of the monitor, or wiggle the screen, then the camera will begin working, so has to be a poor connection...has anyone ele experienced this problem?

Call AppleCare: 1-800-275-2273 or if the Apple store is nearby, take it there to have it checked out.
A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support.
Best.

Since I starting syncing my iPad, iPhone and MacBook, I have lost hundreds of photos and lots of music. Has anyone else had this problem?

I moved all of my photo library and music library to my MacBook last year and also added iCloud for backing up. Now much of my music and hundreds and hundreds of photos (irreplaceable) have disappeared. They are exactly nowhere. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem? I back up to Time Machine daily but Time Machine has no record of the lost files either. Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly, is there a solution??

iCloud backup do not backup music or your photos.
See what iCloud backed up:

Really slow open and save times since updating to Maverick, anyone else had this problem?

Ive got a macbook pro retina (early 2013) and since I updated to mavericks OS X 10.9.1 opening saving even small files in photoshop and illustrator takes a really long time, ny idea why this might be?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My macbook overheats when not in use, has anyone else had this problem?

Over the last nine months, I have had 5 different Macbook pros. The problem always seems to be the same. it starts to overheat and then will not turn on. It begins getting hot whilst not being used and not being left on or on charge.
I have had enough of this, they cannot tell me what is wrong and just offer to change the machine. This last machine is only about 4 months old.
I am not sure what to do about this.

Are you saying that the MBP, turned off, will overheat? How have you determined that? How hot do they get?
Ciao.

You willl do better in the forum for MBP (this is not). I doubt there is room for anything to be loose.

My iPad isn't appearing in iTunes on my MacBook air even though both are brand new. The iPad is appearing as a device in photos. Has anyone else had this problem?

Anyone know the answer to this question

I suspect what you are trying to say is that your iPad is showing up as a photo device in the same way as any other external device would, eg., USB key etc. I am not familiar with the MacBook but here is the possible remedy for Windows operating systems and I am sure you will be able to interpret it accordingly -
Connect your iPad to your computer
Open My computer / Computer
Locate the IPad / 'photo' icon
Right click on it and go to Properties
There should be a place to set what will happen each time the device is connected, set it to do nothing, unplugg the iPad, reconnect it and now try again.

After updating to iOS5, browsing (playing) music on the lock screen has gotten really slow, has anyone else had this problem?

As the title states, browsing music while playing it on the lock screen has really slowed down, while it used to zap to another song quite instantly it now takes about one, sometimes two seconds to do so. Did iOS 5 cause this? Will it be fixed? Any other explenations?

I rarely record automation, and when I do I never do a second pass (usually hand draw automation in) but I have had problems with Logic 7 no longer playing back automation. I've been told its fixed in Logic 8, but in the mean time here is a work around.
Select the region where the automation is (if there is no region, create one using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now everything should play back as expected. If you want to edit the data, simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
For some reason, Logic 7 will sometimes stop reading track automation data, but I have yet to have it stop reading region automation. This is a bug, and according to other users, has been fixed in Logic 8. Hope this helps until we eventually upgrade

This is my first mac, it is a macbook pro. i restarted it but when it started back up i saw a white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. anyone else have this problem?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro, this is my first Mac. I restarted it, but when it started back there was a plain white screen and then it prompted me to insert the reboot disk. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to do this manually like with PC's?

The new Mac's came with OS X Lion 10.7 and there are no boot disks.
Since it's so new, take it back to the Apple Store and let them deal with it.
If not you can hold Command and r (as in rotten) keys down and boot the computer.
You'll be presented with a several options, including one to reinstall OS X Lion provided you have a Apple ID, which means you have to use Safari in there to set one up. To do that you need to set up a email account with Google or Yahoo. Once you get the ID, then you can download Lion and reinstall it.
It's so stupid not having a copy of the OS on hand to perform your own repairs.
Of course Apple will be happy to sell you a $69 Lion USB stick.
Like I said, take it back to the store, and try to get your money back, that will force them to think about just giving you a replacement machine that works.
Lion doesn't work really but it can be acceptable until the patches get released.
