Firefox processes, renders and loads pages slowly.

Firefox v.29.0.1 loads webpages slowly. When I visit a website it loads information for that page very slowly. (ex. msn.com, irs.gov) There is a small box in the lower left corner stating that it is waiting for----. Then it begins transferring data needed to render the page. Sometimes the page does not render correctly. I have tried resetting FF but that did not work. Is there a setting that was changed when FF updated to v29.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

    I found a fix for this, not only firefox but several other networking programs were broken as well (Outlook and IE were ok for some reason) so I reasoned that the Norton uninstall was incomplete somehow - I had done it from the add/remove programs in the control panel. Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

  • Firefox won't start loading pages at random times

    Firefox doesn't even start loading websites at random times. About half of the time it works well and loads pages and then it randomly stops loading again. I've tried all the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can but the problem remains. As a coincidence I have a couple of friends with exactly the same problem - we all use Mac. (I wanted to add troubleshooting information but Firefox didn't work.)

  • Firefox and Thunderbird are using a lot of memory and load pages very slowly!

    CPU levels are going through the roof when using Thunderbird and Firefox.
    Both programs are freshly installed on a new and also freshly installed version of windows 7!
    Loading of my pages is taking forever and most pages don't load at all.
    My email is [email protected]
    My notebook got so hot that it turned itself off!
    Memory is above 250 KB for firefox and Thunderbird above 150 kb!

    I do not have a ComObjects folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files. That is not part of Firefox.
    wscript.exe is a utility included with Windows to run scripts at the system level. It generally is not used by major programs. If update.exe is starting up with Windows, you may be able to find the script that wscript.exe is running using [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx Autoruns].
    It definitely sounds viral. I suggest deleting the update.exe file, although Windows might prevent you from doing that until you kill all related processes. And if you have a persistent infection, the file may be restored or re-downloaded.
    It might be easiest to seek assistance from a forum more dedicated to malware cleanups such as the following:

  • Firefox 4 refuses to load pages on my mac os 10.5.8 and brand new laptop as well- i gave to force quit over and over- can i revert to an earlier version? will the problem be fixed soon? - previous versions worked fine

    ever since i downloaded the 4.0 version of firefox, it has not worked on either computer[ macs] - earlier versions worked fine. It refuses to load pages and freezes [ on various sites , not just one]so i have to force quit it over and over.

    HI,
    Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Difference between processes in the page rendering and in page processing ?

    db11gxe and apex 4.0 ,
    hi all ,
    i am confused about the difference of the processes in these two columns , what is the diff ?
    the same "Select the category of the process you wish to create:"? there is no difference i can see ?
    so what is the diff again ?
    thanks

    Newbi_egy
    Yes. There are process types that are specific for the page processing or page submit phase and not the page rendering phase.
    Just as there are process type that are specific for page rendering and not for page submit.
    And there is even a process type that is specific for the user interaction phase. Namely the "Run On Demand Process"
    But I don't understand what there is to exclaim about
    1. to cry out or speak suddenly and vehemently, as in surprise, strong emotion, or protest.
    2. to cry out; say loudly or vehemently.

    I understand that it can be confusing at first. That you get the same wizard and the same options for process types no matter which process point you have chosen. But if you start building your pages using the wizard to create forms and reports. The process needed for those regions to work are automatically created. Showing you what the correct display point is for them.

  • Safari version 5.1.2 keeps loading pages slowly and eventually freezing. Any ideas on what the problem is?

    I recently updated safari to version 5.1.2. And now all the time it loads everything frustratingly slow and then eventually freezes with the spinning wheel icon, forcing me to restart the computer (MacBook pro 2009). I am running Mac OSX Lion latest version.

    Several things to try...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable plug ins Quit then relaunch Safari. If Safari speeds up loading pages, troubleshooting help for > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit, relaunch Safari.
    Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Check for Login Items:  Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Try Safari in another user account. Same problems there, then log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility.  /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

  • Firefox doesn't completely load pages.

    It stops loading pages while some images are still not loaded. Refreshing won't help. I have to open each picture one by one so it will cache them. ( I can open each of the images that won't load individually, so it's not a connection issue. The first time I enter an image url in the address bar, it won't load. but it loads with refreshing.) Even after caching them one by one, they disappear after a while and stop loading again). I'm looking for a way to force Firefox to reload images until they're all loaded successfully. This happens in a social site, and the images that won't load are user avatars.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Firefox 4 won't load pages, can't connect to websites on mac

    After installing Firefox 4, I've had nothing but problems. Sometimes websites load, then next time they can't connect. I've tried a number of solutions, nothing is working. Hotmail can't connect, weather.com won't load correctly. All updates are done, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times. I'm using an imac all up to date.
    If I switch to Safari now, the same pages won't load there either. None of this happened until I updated Firefox. However, there were a couple of websites like ehow.com and woot that always gave me issues, but now if I click on a link it typically won't take me to the new page. It has also crashed twice tonight. I have no anti-virus anymore after deleting iantivirus last week.

    I have a similar problem. After browsing for a while Firefox will stop loading pages for me on my Macbook Pro. This happens several times a day. In order to fix it I have to restart FF. This is brand new since upgrading to FF4. I've never had this problem before.
    My work involves a lot of Internet use and this is becoming a nuisance quite fast.

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 Slow down when minimising and loading pages.

    Hi there
    I'm having a really strange problem with Dreamweaver CS5.5
    I'm currently in the process of building a CMS for a client and I am experience slow down in Dreamwever when opening and closing certain pages, it also causes slow down/hanging when opening and minimising Dreamweaver itself if these certain pages are open at the time. Which starts to get very annoying when you're swapping between Photoshop and Dreamweaver all the time...
    I narrowed it down to a CSS file causing the slow down/hanging. This being the main stylesheet for the CMS... admin.css
    When I comment out the CSS file Dreamweaver minimises and maximises quickly, and the page in question opens fast.
    The stylesheet is about 900 lines long at the moment, but I've got php and javascript files (and also other CSS files) which are much longer and none of them cause slow down/hanging.
    I've looked myself but from what I can see all of the CSS is valid.
    Any ideas guys?
    Thanks in advance

    I can't explain this at all, but I've solved it.
    I changed the style below:
    @media only screen and (min-width: 35em) {
    .ir { display: block; border: 0; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; text-align: left; direction: ltr; *line-height: 0; }
    .ir br { display: none; }
    .hidden { display: none !important; visibility: hidden; }
    .visuallyhidden { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; }
    .visuallyhidden.focusable:active, .visuallyhidden.focusable:focus { clip: auto; height: auto; margin: 0; overflow: visible; position: static; width: auto; }
    .invisible { visibility: hidden; }
    /* Clear Floated Elements + Fix */
    .clear {clear:both; display:block; overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden; width:0; height:0;}
    .clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{content: '.'; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; font-size: 0; line-height: 0; width: 0; height: 0;}
    .clearfix:after {clear: both;}
    .clearfix {zoom: 1;}
    /*END DONT CHANGE*/
    To this:
    @media only screen and (min-width: 35em) {
    .ir { display: block; border: 0; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background-color: transparent; background-repeat: no-repeat; text-align: left; direction: ltr; *line-height: 0; }
    .ir br { display: none; }
    .hidden { display: none !important; visibility: hidden; }
    .visuallyhidden { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; }
    .visuallyhidden.focusable:active, .visuallyhidden.focusable:focus { clip: auto; height: auto; margin: 0; overflow: visible; position: static; width: auto; }
    .invisible { visibility: hidden; }
    /* Clear Floated Elements + Fix */
    .clear {clear:both; display:block; overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden; width:0; height:0;}
    .clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{content: '.'; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; font-size: 0; line-height: 0; width: 0; height: 0;}
    .clearfix:after {clear: both;}
    .clearfix {zoom: 1;}
    /*END DONT CHANGE*/
    Moved it outside of the media query. It was put there by mistake by the looks of it.

  • Firefox is slow in responding to commands and loads pages very slowly.

    I'm unable to use Firefox most of the time because commands are slow in running( like Scrolling down a page.). Most pages take forever to load and while they are doing so. Navigation crawls to a stop. I'm now using Chromium by Google because it's faster and I can continue to work the page while it finishes loading.

    Thanks for replying Sisham.
    My system meets all the requirements. I agree with you that with a better hardware installed the software will be much more usable, but I feel that, since my system is OK with the requirements, Illustrator should work much better, at least on the basic tasks. I'm especially concerned because Illustrator CS6 worked fine, and that version of Illustrator has got the same system requirements, so I'm not sure that with a better hardware the program would run normally.
    There's no difference in managing complex files with multiple linked images or small low resolution files with a couple of objects: I have this delay in zooming and panning, selecting, moving objects...
    I'm wondering if I should check any specific setting inside the program.

  • What are Firefox's timeout for loading pages and images

    On a website I'm developing I'm experiencing problems with images occasionally only partially loading. I'm trying to prove the problem is caused by my hosting company's server terminating resource requests prematurely . To this end, I created a test pages that has several very large images embedded. I navigate to the page and see how many images fully load.
    However I need to ensure that Firefox is not influencing the test. I.e. firefox is not giving up on the images if they are taking too long to load.
    So my questions are:
    1) What are the various parameters that firefox uses to abandon downloads of images etc? And does it depend on the number of images on the pages, tabs open, number of domains simultaneously accessing, etc
    2) Can I change the settings in about:config so firefox will wait a very long time for resources and only stop when the server stops sending stuff.
    3) Does firefox log anything so I can tell if firefox has given up the server has given up. (I noticed for the bad images, Firebug says "Image corrupt or truncated")
    Thanks.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
