Firefox takes 1 minute or more to open pages.

Hey,
Recently updated to Firefox 15, now all webpages take at least 1 minute to load. However, there is no internet issue, it's really strange. For example, I'll open four different websites, they'll all say 'Connecting to x' or 'Waiting for x' and just stay there for a minute. After a while, they'll all load as usual at the same time. It's like Firefox has loaded the pages but just isn't displaying them, while this was happening once, I tried resetting the router to see if there was an error there and it still loaded the page after 1 minute, while there was no internet connection available.
I've tried - disabling firewall, anti virus, reinstalling Firefox, restarting router and disabling plugins. Other internet browsers work with no problem.
Thanks

But perhaps you could provide me with a list of recommend add ons

IPhoto '11 taking a minute or more to open

I upgraded from iPhoto '09 to '11 in January, and since then have had no problems with speed or freezing. Everything ran smoothly and never got hung up. But one day, i go to show a photo to my friend, and iPhoto never opens. I have to resort to Logging Off, but the computer doesn't log off because it thinks iPhoto is still running. I hold down the power button and store the computer away. After a few days, i go on again, and decide to wait. It took 10 minutes for iPhoto to open, but ran smoothly after that. Now its still taking a minute or more to open. This only happens after it boots up, and after starting once, it opens quickly after that. I have about 7,000 photos all together in my library, and am willing to delete 400 or so if necessary. Is there anything i can do?

I had this problem but it was due to Spotlight trying to index my BootCamp volume. If you have a BootCamp partition, go into the spotlight security settings and make it private.

Firefox takes several minutes to load

It takes several minutes for Firefox to load every time I log in. Takes longer if computer is started. Have troubleshot everything I could find with no avail. It's getting old and all that I have read I can't believe Mozilla has not heard and fixed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think it was when I updated.

The question certainly isn't solved. I have no trouble with speed when entering sites - it's just when first trying to enter Mozilla. I tried IE this morning as a test and was into the home page in a few secomds. Moxilla 8 takes about a minute and a half. Version 3.6 loads immediately. I previously tried vers 8 a couple of weeks ago and web sites took a long time to load. This was not a problem after using vers 3.6 for a while and then re-downloading vers 8. I am still frustrated by the slow load up time it takes to get to the home page and believe this may be something the system administrators need to fix..

Save screen takes 30 seconds or more to open

I've been having a problem recently where on any program, whenever I click Save As, or Save for the first time, it takes at least 30 seconds to open the finder window to choose where I want to save the file. I just have the beach ball, and it finally loads up, sometimes taking as long as a full minute. This has only been happening for about a week or two, and nothing else on the Macbook Pro lags. Any ideas what could cause this?

Right, sorry, I was thinking Terminal for some reason. No errors come up while the beach ball is spinning. I do all system updates as soon as they come out, and there hasn't been one since June if I remember correctly. I haven't installed any new software in the past couple weeks. I haven't tried Safe Mode yet, but I will try that soon.
The thing that makes this more tricky is that it doesn't do it 100% of the time. It seems like it will be fine for a while after I reboot, and then it starts doing it. However, it definitely isn't an issue of running out of resources since my Macbook Pro has 8GB of RAM, 40GB hard drive space empty, and the latest processor before the i5 was released.
Another thing to note is that once the save dialog window finally comes up, if I close it and then press save again, it opens normally. However, if I close the application, reopen it, and then try to save, it will hang again.

In Windows Vista 7, SP2, Firefox takes several minutes to launch, is non-responsive, hangs sometimes launches additional windows without my clicking. I get error code 10003.

I'm using Firefox 6.0.2 in Wndows Vista 7, SP2. I'm using Norman Security Suite anti-virus software. Firefox behaves erratically. Sometimes it takes several minutes to launch. If I launch an new window it sometimes hangs. It launches two extra windows without my having clicked to launch. Always two. I get an error code 10003 but when I search for this I get no information about it.
Windows Task Manager shows plugin-container for Firefox running in addition to firefox.exe.

Slow outgoing Pop mail with Lion- is anyone else having this problem? Email without attachments can take 10 minutes or more to go.

Outgoing pop mail is very slow - at times 10 - 20 minutes and more, even on messges with no attachments. This has happened since my upgrade to Lion. My DSL line tests out ok, but Apple says it must be a slow line. Any one else have problems?

POP is only used for incoming mail. Some POP servers are the same as SMTP servers.
Check to make sure your internet service provider can either give you an SMTP server, or that you are using password authentication to get to an outside line with the proper port. Outside SMTP servers are often on one of the ports 587, 2626, 2662, and often use your full e-mail address for username authentication.

Webpages load slowly in Firefox (about 5 minutes or longer for most pages) but load instantly in Internet Explorer. This has been happening for the last few upgrades, but years ago never used to be a problem. What could it be?

I don't think it's every webpage, but most of them, and all pages open instantly in Internet Explorer but Firefox takes minutes to open a page and just sits there with a white screen while it's loading.

It's possible that you are 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 caused by one (or more than 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] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). 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 themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Firefox takes 6 minutes to load and then does not respond so what should I do?

After starting Firefox on my Mac (10.8) it takes 5 to 6 minutes to appear. A minute or so later the "Bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of the files is being used by another application" message appears and Firefox either does not respond or responds very slowly to various mouse clicks and such. For example, I wanted to disable all plug ins and when I clicked on Tools and Addins it took three minutes for the tab to open and after 20 minutes still nothing had appeared on the tab. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting the Mac, resetting Firefox to the default settings, starting Firefox in safe mode, renaming the places.sqlite file, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from a fresh download, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall in which I remove the Firefox folder from the Application Support folder after uninstalling, and relocating the plugins folder. I've tried just about everything in every Firefox support article that there is and nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful.Thanks.

Firefox takes a very long time to open and cannot connect to any website

After updating to Firefox 3.6 and attempting to follow the link to update Flash player (the link was broken), Firefox began to work VERY slowly. I closed the browser and, when I tried to open it again, it took in excess of 30 minutes to open, which it finally did. However, while it was initially able to open some websites (google.com), it reached the point of being unable to open anything at all.

You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*devtools.debugger.source-maps-enabled = false

Syncing Takes 15 minutes or More!

Twice now, when syncing, itunes has taken a long time to back up my phone and the sync is relatively short. This is a new iPhone and I've got over 28gb free. There's not much on it.
Are such long syncs typical? Most syncs are much shorter.

Backups should take on average 15~20 seconds, more if you have numerous photos in your camera roll, a corrupted backup stored on your computer, apps with large amounts of data that's not managed properly or corrupted data on your phone. In your case, I'd suspect the phone call that interrupted your backup may have corrupted that backup currently on your computer. That's not supposed to happen, but it does. So, delete all of your existing backups and start over again. If you don't have any itunes content on your phone, you might even try restoring as a new device to eliminate any corrupted files on your phone. Your first backup(after you delete any existing backups) will take perhaps several minutes, certainly no longer than that. Subsequent backups will be much quicker. I've got a 32gb 3Gs over half filled & my backups take no more than 10~15 seconds. But, I don't keep any photos in my camera roll, I regularly sync(the first thing done when you sync is a backup), if my backup times increase, I identify the culprit(usually an app), contact the developer and if not fixed, I delete the app. Backups, after that first one, are incremental in that only the data that has changed is backed up. So, sync regularly, keep photos out of your camera roll & imported to your computer & watch for misbehaving apps.

Firefox takes 4 minutes to start since the recent upgrade. Can you help?

Since Firefox was upgraded to the latest version about 5 days ago, it has become extremely slow to start. It is taking just about 4 minutes. As soon as I experienced this problem, I removed it completely from my computer. I subsequently reinstalled it but this did not improve matters in any way. I have applied your suggested fixes for this problem but have not had any success. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro, and my computer is an Acer Laptop (model Aspire 7535).
sincerely,
Charles D. Cross

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
