Firefox won't load or slow every time since 18 update I have all necessary cleaning done--just don't open right now
Lately Firefox does not load on my Vista--especially since update 18 happened. It shows that Firefox is running in the task manager but the page doesn't come up. This is every time I try to start the browser.
It runs once I can get it to come up--but it never ever comes up the first time without going into task manager and finding the file it is in and starting it there as "administrator". This is very very annoying--before I uninstall and change browser back to Chrome which has its own issues--perhaps you can enlighten me as to how to fix this problem--it needs a patch? Don't tell me to dump history cookies etc. This I have already tried and it doesn't do anything--the problem persists. Any solutions for me? Thanks

I have 5 different Win7 64-bit installations. As soon as i upgraded to FF18...EVERY single systems browser experience slows to a crawl. CPU and memory spike beyond control. In fact I have to use Chrome to browse. This is so incredibly unacceptable. My entire family is soooo frustrated. They have reverted to IE, and i provided each device with a fresh install of Chrome, no issues whatsoever.
As for suggestions here, I have no intention of following any of these lame instructions to check anti-virus, video card switching, or resetting FF to defaults which will cause loss of some of the personalization.
Its a bloody shame. Farewell FF. Enjoy your poorly QA'ed release....!!!

Slow boot time since updating OS 6 minutes aprox
I've owned my Macbook Pro since new and it came factory installed with OSX 10.4
I decided to update to Leopard and used the 10.5.6 disc formatted the hard drive fresh and after installing boot time was around 6 minutes. I tried everything, updating OS, reseting pram all sorts but still slow boot up.
Then i thought maybe updating to Snow Leopard may resolve this issue but unfortunately still the same problem 6 minutes to boot!
I don't know a lot about the console but i rebooted at 20.12 pm and here is the report:
I noticed at 20.13 some weird happenings with the internal apple modem i hope somebody can shed some light on it.
Also between 20.14 and 20.18 'Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet ' 4 minute pause??? whats that because of?

Please help its driving me nuts!!!The concern of which 10.5.6 disc is quite good. While 10.5.6 was available retail, using a 10.5.6 from another Mac model could cause problems with installation.
And installing Snow Leopard over such an installation unless erase and installed would not solve any problems. If you install 10.5.6 over 10.4, you must use
the 10.5 disc that looks like * and does not say update or dropin on it. Similarly if you erase and install 10.6 on
a machine that came with 10.5.8 or earlier, you must use this disc * that does not say Update or DropIn on it, unless it was
released during the up-to-date program period in the couple weeks before August 28, 2009.

Firefox won't load hotmail at random times in the day.
I am currently on the beta version but I had the same problem with the normal version of Firefox as well. The problem is this, my hotmail account loading up is very sporadic. Sometimes it will work on Firefox and other times it won't, yet if I use IE it works fine all the time. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems or even similar circumstances.
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.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us! -
Firefox for Android loads from start every time its switched back from other apps
Hi
I have figured this out that when I load Web pages and meanwhile I switch to other apps like Whatsapp, and then coming back to Firefox, Firefox loads again from the start instead of continuing from where I left.
Even if the Web page is loaded fully and the loading process is completed and I switch to Whatsapp or any and then back to Firefox, Firefox again starts the process from beginning and loads the same page.
This issue is not in chrome, as if Chrome is loading page and switch back and forth from other apps, chrome continues the process where I left and if the Web page is already loaded then Chrome doesn't start the process again and stays where it is.
Please look into this, else you guys rock ;)Are you using the app switcher?
Maybe this has something to do with how long the page is supposed to be cached... When I expand my tab list, I can see that some of the tabs are just where I left them and others have blanked out.
Hopefully and Android guru can give you a better answer. -
Every time I update Firefox, my settingfor yahoo is not recognized. Why?
At the top of my screen I have settings for yahoo, amazon, news,etc.
If I click on the one for yahoo, Firefox says UNRECOGNIZED.
This happens every time I update Firefox. From three past updates and before FIREFOX did not do that.Hi earlten
This is a '''Community-Driven''' Support Web Site for Firefox.
The community are volunteers; just ordinary users like yourself who use the Firefox browser and try to offer other users free support. Please remember this and moderate your language to show some respect. I know you are frustrated, but venting this on people who do their best to help others in their free time is not likely to be well received.
Please just state clearly the problem you are having and other users will see if they can help you.
For example: Every so often I check whether my plugins are up to date by using this link:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/[[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]] -
After update to 10.0.1, Firefox is now slow to check add-ons and sends me to "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date.", every time. This happens with my PC and Netbook. Please advise.
Hi jeff8478,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps! -

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 load google image search results
Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
I have tried:
Both logged in and out of google account,
All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
Running firefox in safemode,
Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
Clearing the cache and cookies,
Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
Restarting both my PC and router.
It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This sometimes resolved by unplugging the Apple TV for a few moments and trying again, others have found restarting the router may help. Another reason that message can occur is when the download speed is extremely slow, have you tested your Internet download speed with speediest.net. -
I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.
