Firefox takes ages to load, refresh page 3x before or just doesnt respond
when i got to some sites, firefox green progress bar loads but near end just takes a while, i need to keep refreshing. IE9 works fine so it's not ISP taking ages as i am on DSL2
If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

JComboBox takes ages to load/refresh when tried to add more items.
Swing gurus ...
Here is the test app generated from VA3.5 concept is the
same - JComboBox takes long time to add data items to itself when added more items.
In this senario, I tried to load about 500 items into the combo box, takes about 2+ minutes to load. I have an app which needs to show about 1K items in the pick list ( ComboBox ) - which takes any where from 4 - 10 min - this is not acceptable - are there any ways we can load more items into combo box ? Help is really appreciated.

1. RegFish wrote a custom JComboBox that handles large numbers of elements better than a standard JComboBox does.
2. You can download his code at http://www.reddfish.co.nz/freesoftware/PoliteComboBox.jar
3. You may want to reconsider your design, since a JComboBox with more than a few dozen elements is usually too hard for the user to use (see various postings in the long thread). -
Web pages in take ages to load in firefox in ubuntu lucid

Every time Firefox openedTry a clean install of Firefox on your Linux machine.
# Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
# Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
*Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
3. [www.getfirefox.com Download Firefox] again and install it
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux Installing Firefox in Linux]
If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files. -

Google, Facebook etc take ages to load on Safari (and Firefox)
There have been a few threads on this issue...but none seem to have a solution that works for us.
We have two laptops (MacBook (MB) and MacBook Pro (MBP)) using an airport wireless. The MP has all of a sudden decided that google and facebook will not load up straight away like they have always done in the past...they take ages to load up (we are talking "go get a coffee..and read the newspaper" times). Other websites just fire up as fast as ever. All sites fire up super fast on the MBP.
What we have tried:
1. Rebooted the modem, wireless router and computers
2. Reset Safari, deleted and reinstalled Firefox 4.0.1. Wiped out all caches , cookies etc
3. Restored entire computer from time tunnel from a month ago...when life was good!
4.. Changed/added DNS numbers to airport (via airport utilities) and change the airport settings (using openDNS numbers).
5. Flushed the DNS resolver caches...
Still no good....
What are we missing? What can the MB have to cause the issue that the MPB does not?
MB is on OSX 10.5.8
MBP is on OSX 10.6.7
Please help...my wife uses the MB and is angry that her beloved Facebook and Google are just not workingOk.. from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If it's not Extensions... try troubleshooting Safari third party add ons.
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues -

When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying
Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time
If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed. -
AI CC and CC 2014 Freeze at startup or it takes ages to load
Since the last update (which I of course applied as a modest designer) AI CC takes ages to load or doesn't load at all after almost 6 minutes of showing "Initializing...." screen. I have a DELL Laptop with Core i7 processor and 8 Gigs of RAM plus I run Windows 7 from a SSD disk. Prior to this fantastic update Illustrator ran fine. Is there something I can do or to revert back to previous, not-that-advanced version?

I am using VPN, and Firefox is loading the page. Before I reinstall the new version, the VPN was working okay. Whta happened, what I am supposed to do?
I have to use the VPN to acess the site because of the limitatation , and it was working okay. When I do turn off the VPN, then the sites will open, but if I activate the VPN, then site will load for ever, but they won't load.
Please advise me what to do?You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side. -
TS3474 I play music but it takes ages to load and I only have 250MB of data for music
When I use my iPod I have 3.3GB left memory on a 8GB iPod touch 4th generation and when I play my music it always takes ages to load. I have deleted loads of stuff and I only have 250MB of music but it still takes ages. Why does this happen?
What do you mean by: "it always takes ages to load"?
Withut more specific information all I can suggest is the standard fixes:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?
Hi!
I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester. -
It takes forever to load web pages. Is it possible I have a virus eventhough I keep scanning for them?
Your internet experience is dependent upon several different factors. I doubt a virus is the problem.
1) when you type in an address or click on a link your service provider's computer must turn the URL into an IP address - the computer that does this is called a Domain Name Server (DNS). Many ISPs have slow DNS servers. If it takes a long time for the page to start loading but then loads quickly that might be your problem. OpenDNS provides a free DNS server that is very fast.
2) the connection between your computer and router. I assume you are using WiFi - hold down the Option key and click on the WiFi menu item in the menubar. The RSSI indicates signal strength / quality and the farther away the value is from 0 the lower the quality. something between -60 to 60 is a good signal. If it is in the 80s or higher (or -80 or lower) you might try changing the channel and/or moving the base station.
3) your internet connection. Go here to see how fast your connection is. Your connect speed will be dependant upon your WiFi connection, your ISPs internet service, and how fast the connection is between your city and the testing city. If you suspect your WiFi service is all or part of the problem you'll want to fix that before running the test - or connecting with an ethernet cable would bypass the WiFi problem. Of course you'll need a dongle (or a different computer) to test that way.
My ISP is TimeWarner and at least for a while TW was notorius for having slow Domain Name Servers. I switched to OpenDNS and haven't looked back. -
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?
