Firefox used to load igoogle in 15 seconds; now it takes TEN minutes to load. HELP

Firefox used to load my iGoogle page in 15 seconds; now it takes TEN minutes to load this page. Help

Its not only iGoogle, But 99% sites open up pretty slow with Firefox 3.6.*. When you first hit the site, it half loads and then slowly loads remaining , sometimes take 5-10 Minutes, and sometimes it never loads or you have to hit enter again to fully load the site. Firefox 3.6.* is disgusting...Please this is serious. I recommend users to switch back to 3.510; its the most stable one.

Firefox used to load my iGoogle page in 15 seconds; now it takes TEN minutes to load & Safari loads it in 5 seconds. HELP

See above question. Firefox loads half my iGoogle page immediately, but then requires TEN minutes to load the rest of the page. This is annoying!

My iMac is getting really slow. It used to boot in about 30 seconds, now it's over 3 minutes. I am thinking I may backup photo's Videos and such and format the hard drives and re-install OSX. Any thoughts on this?

This computer used to boot up in about 30 seconds, now it's minutes, programs are starting to freeze, or take a long time to boot. I suspect it's bits and fragments from programs that I have used and deleted over the years, but are still floating around inside my iMac. I really don't want to re-format and re-install OSX but the lack of performance is finally starting to irritate me. (Haveing switched from windows in 2009, I can tell you, I used to reformat and re-install windows about every 3 months because I liked that fresh fast boot up feel.) Any advice is welcome. Here's a printout from a program that lists everything using my system.
Thanks.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

WILL THIS BE FIXED? FIREFOX USED TO BE THE FASTEST BROWSER. NOW IT'S AS SLOW OR SLOWER THAN IE. IF NOT I'LL HAVE TO USE ANOTHER BROWSER. IT'S REALLY REDICULOUSLY SLOW.

FIREFOX *USED TO BE* THE FASTEST BROWSER ON THE INTERNET. NOW IT'S JUST TOO DARN SLOW! IE SOMETIMES IS FASTER - THAT AIN'T RIGHT! EVERY TIME I USE FIREFOX - THE LONGER I USE IT THE SLOWER IT GETS. PLEASE FIX THIS!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== AFTER THE 2.5 VERSION

Some of your listed plugins are known to cause performance problems, so from Tools -> Add-ons, "Plugins" section disable:
Yahoo Application State Plugin version 1.0.0.7
getplusplusadobe
Winamp Application Detector
The VideoLAN Version 1.0.5
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.0
You can find out how the speed has improved in [http://firefox.com/beta the beta version of Firefox 4] by creating a new profile using the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles#Starting_the_Profile_Manager Profile Manager] and selecting that profile from Firefox 4

When I enter a website, FireFox used to auto login and password. Now is does NOT. If I choose remember me check box, the website remembers me but I still have to enter a password. I think this is a problem created with website programming.

The problem is with most websites but not all. When I try to login to this website to ask this question, I have recorded 3 logins. Only one works, but that is a different problem. The websites used to automatically login and suddenly don't. I believe the problem is a change in programming for the website programmers. I found a solution (not a viable one) previously here that is supposed to remember login and password through a laborious process, but that is really cumbersome and doesn't always work either. Today I cannot find that process to try it. I am trying to login to ATT website which was just changed.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

My Firefox automatically updated to version 6.0 using Windows XP version 5.1 and now crashes immediately when launching. Please help!

Safe mode works, disabling all plugins does not resolve. Installed older version of Firefox. This failed to resolve.

Firefox used to play audio within player playlist, now it goes to other page with a single control bar?

this just happened recently with OS 10.8.4, (and I don't remember making any changes) yet it still plays within the playlist in OS 10.6.8

Hi svalere,
Now the media opens up in a new tab page? You can check if any application preferences changed in Preferences > Applications.
Is there a website you can provide an example for? Does it happen on multiple sites? And if you disable Quicktime in about:addons does this do this still?
This may explain any changes that you are noticing. However the only preferences that can be changed in Firefox is within the video player settings as far as I understand, but happy to find out more when you post back.

I have firefox using the Yahoo format. I cannot get "print" to install on the toolbar HELP

I have tried to create a custom app for "PRINT", but I can't get it to appear on the toolbar with my other apps.

No need for a "custom app". Firefox already has a '''"Print"''' button, all you need to do is to move it to the toolbar of your choice.

HT4528 I was using my phone, set it on my bed for maybe ten minutes, went to use it again and the screen was black and it was unresponsive. Nothing happens when I plug it in, I tried a soft reset and nothing happened either. Is there anything I can do?

a friend of mine said this happened to her, and apple told her to leave it plugged in for a while. I've already had it plugged in for several hours and nothing has happened. I haven't been able to get to apple yet but I was wondering if there was anything I hadn't tried yet?

Why does my firefox web browser load so slowly

I'm running XP Home and my firefox3.6.12 web browser is Loading very slowly.

I have firefox 3.6.12 as well, but windows xp pro, sp3. plus : comodo internet security free. I took NoScript off and all my add-ins.
Firefox used to load in less than 5 seconds on startup and/or reboot. Now it takes up to 30 seconds to load. Once Firefox has been run once since it's first run in a Windows session, it loads fast (3-5 seconds) like it used to.
I completely removed Firefox, deleted the mozilla folder, did a fresh download of firefox 3.6.12 and installed it. NO add-ins except Adobe Acrobat and the ones that come with a fresh download of Firefox.
Still WAY slower than it was with previous versions.
I really liked the old Firefox. And I was running Comodo Internet Security Free then too. And I removed that and re-installed a fresh version. Nothing makes it start up the first time in a reasonable amount of time like before.
What gives??????

The sc command, (service control manager), takes 3 minutes and 30 seconds to create a service on Windows 8.1. and 2012R2

Unique circumstance: SC create This takes 3 minutes and 30 seconds on one domain when
using Windows 8.1 & 2012R2. We have two domains: D1.com
and D2.D1.com. If we place a Windows 8.1 or 2012R2 VM on the D2.D1.com
domain and run the sc command to create a service using a D2.D1.com domain
account it will take 3 minutes and 30 seconds to create the service. It
will create the service successfully, but will take 3 minutes and 30
seconds. If we use the sc command to create a service using the obj=
parameter and use an account which is a member of the D1.com domain as the
parameter, the service is created immediately. Note: using a windows 8 VM
on D2.D1.com domain it does not exhibit the same behavior. Also note that
placing a Windows 8.1 VM on the D1.com domain does not exhibit the same
behavior as well. Consequently, this leads us to believe that the sc
command is timing out on the validation of the domain account and then using a
different validation method which is successful.<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
Based on my understanding, when you run sc command to create service, it takes long time, but when use sc command to delete the service, it runs fast. right? If so, the issue should be related with the command you used.
I also would like to suggest you refer to the below link to use sc to create service, we may also post in the MSDN forum:

How do I stop Firefox from auto-loading websites on startup? Why doesn't it use the cache?

When I open up Firefox, I see a row of "loading circles" swishing around. I don't want my browser to do this, because it slows down my internet connection, it's unnecessary 95% of the time (I often keep tabs open just to have quick access to some text), and sometime it's actually detrimental (for example, when the page has changed since the last time I loaded it, but I actually wanted the information from the former state of the page).
How do I fix it so that Firefox uses the cached page instead of trying to load a new one?
To clarify: I want Firefox to load the new page when I visit a bookmark, or click on a link to a page I've seen before, or press the reload button. I just don't want it to do this when all I've done is start up Firefox.
Let the tabs sit there until I tell them to do something! Can anyone help?
Using:
Firefox 9.0.1
Windows XP SP3

Yes, but at least the start will be faster and only one tab ta the time is checked on the server.
