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!

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.

I used Share to post a page on FB. Now I'm getting FB notifications whether I'm logged in to FB or not. How do I log out of Share?

Hi NimaG!
It seems like you may need to adjust your notifications settings for Facebook in order to address this issue:

Just got firefox yesterday, can load Adobe Flash Player, please help

Just got Firefox yesterday. This morn I tried to "Listen Live" or "Live Stream" from a radio station. It said I need to download Adobe Flash Player. It won't let me download it. Can you help please,
Thank You

This may not be a Firefox problem as such. It may well be that you do not have administrative rights to install FlashPlayer, or for some reason security software is causing a problem. Exactly what do you mean by ''It won't let me download it.'' possibly any error or warning messages you get will be meaningful; what are they ?
See
* [[Managing the Flash plugin]]
Presumably you could use Internet Explorer, does that work with the radio stations ? note IR & Firefox are likely to need separate installs of flash Player, and certainly you will need to test each browser separately for flash Player functionality.

Firefox used to work fine until I changed providers. Now it does not.

I had Hughes Net now I have AT&T Mi-Fi and firefox won't browse web pages. Internet explorer does still work.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

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??????

I cannot set my igoogle page as my home page using a new MacBook Air with the latest verion of the Mac OS and Firefox.

I have a new MacBook Air with the latest Mac OS and I down loaded the latest version of Firefox from your web site. I am trying to set my igoogle page as my home page. I log into my igoogle home page and then go to the Preferences option on the Firefox menu. I click the option to use the current page as my home page. As long as I am logged into Firefox it takes me back to my igoogle home page when I click on the Home icon. If I log out of Firefox and open it again later in the day it takes me to the igoogle log in page but not my home page. I have a Mac at home and do not have this problem and I do not have this problem with my PC at the office.
Any ideas?

I am having to use IE to access your site to send you a question about why Firefox is not loading even your own home page? Also can i go back to the previous version of Firefox, as this version (4.0) has a huge number of problems?

It started out as once in a while the page would load, but be blank. Now it is nearly every website I attempt to go shows it loads the page, as the address is listed in the top. it shows the page name in the tab, but the page is blank.
As I said in my question, I am having to contact you on IE, because Firefox won't load it's own pages.
So that you know, it had been years snce I used IE, Since loading 4.0 it has become a daily event.

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.

I cannot load certain pages using FireFox i could days ago. Pages load fine IE.

I use google doc to link me to pages/spreadsheets for work, and i was accessing everything fine till 5 days ago. Now i am being redirected. I get a glimpse of the page/spreadsheet then it begins to redirect me with a blank screen. Disabled Java Add ons that were updated but this did not fix the issue. Attempted to view the pages in Internet Explorer and they loaded just fine. Co Workers are not having the same issue.

Already tried that before. I don't even have any software firewall currently active, and the hardware firewall in my router does not block individual applications. It blocks ports instead, by IP address. My Avast AV software does not have anything that blocks applications either, since there is no firewall aspect to it, just the anti-virus software. Likewise, my Spybot S&D has no blocking capability either.
I followed all the steps in the article titled "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" when I tried installing v24 and v25 last night, which included the steps from the article you posted above with regards to firewalls, as well as changing proxy settings, disabling IPv6 and DNS Prefetching, and resetting Firefox defaults from the troubleshooting page, which blew out all my settings, and still nothing.
I had tried all the steps I could find on these pages, which is why I thought I would post my issue, since I had run out of ideas. I even took a look at the info about the issue some people are getting where it works for them only if they are moving their mouse, but even moving my mouse didn't get any results for me.

Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
if (( UID )); then
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
fi
As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

Firefox uses all CPU resources when loading pages with lots of images.

I just installed XP, and when I load pages with a ton of images, say, tumblr, Firefox uses ALL CPU time until it finishes loading.
But because of the slowdown, it takes forever to download all the images.
It's not related to my connection, I've got 15mbit downstream.
I have Win7 on a different partition, and I have never had this problem.
As far as I know, all my drivers and XP are up to date.
I could have an old driver lurking, should I be looking at something specific?
I've tried to find something on Google, but I've not found anything really helpful...

I haven't gotten around to installing antivirus (or anything else, for that matter).
If I watch in Task Manager, Firefox.exe goes to 100% as soon as I load the page.
And no, that guide didn't help much. I don't have any addons or plugins yet, this is a new install.
I got a huge slowdown a bit ago, it's because it was using almost 1.5GB of RAM o_o
