How do I make my Firefox 3.6 run faster on my Mac OSX 10.4?

My browser runs very sluggish these days. Tried to download
Firefox 4, but could not on this version of Mac. Seems I'm
stuck with the 3.6 browser. Any suggestion on how to make
it run a little faster?

See our knowledge base article [[How to set the home page]] to learn how you can set the home page to your liking (including restoring it to the default page).
Unrelated to your issue, it looks like you're using a very old version of Firefox. You should upgrade to the latest version -- just go to the Help menu and click Check for Updates. This link walks you through the process: [[Updating Firefox]]

    please help.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    You may need to consider adding more RAM.  How much RAM is presently installed?  It would also help to include this information in your forum profile.

  • How can I make Adobe Premiere Elements 9 run faster on my computer?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 running windows vista 32 bit, and recently adobe premiere elements 9 has been having really rough playback, meaning it will often freeze or skip many frames when I try to watch what I have edited. It also stops responding very often. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

    Almost any graphics adapter will do fine in PE9... it is not until you get to Premiere Pro that the graphics card makes a difference
    If you only have the usual one hard drive of a laptop, a 2nd drive will help
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for video editing
    Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

    Make a matte in Photoshop.
    From the Photoshop menu bar: File > New > Film & Video Presets. Choose one that suits your FCP project pixel dimensions. Make the background black. Place a white rectangle with rounded corners on top (the white will determine how much of your picture is visible). Flatten Image. Save as TIFF. Import into FCP.
    Move your video clips up to V2. Place the imported TIFF on V1. Highlight all clips on V2.
    Go to Modify > Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma. Done.
    If you want soft edges, no need for a matte. Double click your clip to place it in the Viewer. Open up the Motion tab > Crop > Edge Feather. Nice and quick. Copy and Paste attributes for the other clips.

  • Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

    Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

  • How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

    I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.
    How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?
    Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How do you make what Firefox lists as "unknown plugins" known?

    When I go to the Plugin Check page to check for updates, there is a list of the Plugins that I'm using... about half are "known" which enables me to update but the other half is listed as "Unknown plugin" which makes it so that I can't update them... how do I make those "known"?

    Hi, i also have the same problem, and i try to keep my plugins all up to date, but the fact is that half of them continually says that are unknown!I did the research and try to download some of them - because the others can´t find the download buttons on the researched pages-, to download the newer version and still keep having the same message.For ex. i did the research for picnic and did the download of the newer version, although i thought i had already the newer version, and after doing that i closed firefox and open it again and clicked on check for updates and still gives me the same message saying that the plugin is unknown???'I just don´t understand!!The same thing for google talk plugin and for google earth, i downloaded the newer version and still keeps giving me the same message.I send here a screenshot of some of the plugins that have that message. I also realised that the big majority of them are from google, like google update, for ex.I just would like to say that i have the firefox updated too, i checked that.
    Thanks.

  • My Firefox currently in offline mode, cannot browse web. How do I make sure Firefox is permitted to access web??? Problem just started 2 days ago.

    When I log on my desktop mac, and sign in, a screen pops up which states: "'''''''''Firefox is currently in offline mode and cannot browse the web.'''''''''
    Make sure your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure Firefox is permitted to access web"??????
    I have to log completely out, Restart my computer, then it will let me get online or browse net.

    Did you check the Offline setting in File > Work Offline?

  • I inadvertently deleted and emptied the trash bin on Firefox. I have a MAC OSX-VERSION 10.4.11. How can I re-install the latest version of Firefox that is COMPUTER FRIENDLY for the MAC OSX Version 10.4.11? I appreciate any help.

    I inadvertently deleted Firefox and emptied the trash bin. I believe it was version 3.5. I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11. After several futile attemps how can I re-install the latest version of Firefox compatible to my MAC system? Thanks!

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer the Firefox builds from Mozilla requires both Mac OSX 10.'''5'''+ and a Intel.
    Either you can use 3.6.19 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Though for you 3.6.18 will be safe also as 3.6.19 was to workaround a font crashing issue on 10.7 Lion that was not fixed in time on Lion before release. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.18/mac/ and pick your language and download the Firefox 3.6.18.dmg

  • Firefox 4 won't work on my Mac OSX 10.4.11, it says Firefox 3.6.17 is not secure?

    I keep getting messages to upgrade to FireFox 4, and it will not open on my Mac OSX 10.4.11. I get messages that the 3.6.17 version is not secure.

    Firefox 3.6.x versions are still updated with security patches (Firefox 3.6.18 is due in about two weeks).
    You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11.<br />
    There is a compatible version from for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac.

  • How to reset the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OSX?

    Do anyone knows how to set the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OS X?

    how about a GUI, ever heard of a GUI? it's this really neat thing, where you don't have to worry about remembering long strings of text to do something. Mac OS X actually has a rather decent one (that was sarcasm by the way, Mac is the best) you could have it done in like 30 sec, if you use the network pane of system preferences.

    Hi Mandar,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    “create a simple shell script to launch my remote desktop connection. Eg: if I want to launch SteiniServer.rdp, then my script would look like this:
    open "/Applications/Remote Desktop Connection.app" ~/Documents/RDC/SteiniServer.rdp”
    (Quoted from below article).
    Please go through below article might helpful in your case.

    Hope it helps!

  • Which Firefox version fits best with iMac G5 + Mac OSX 10.5.8?

    I made a mistake.
    I installed Safari 5.0.6 with loss of good functioning of the browser (lay out not any longer the same as with Safari 4) because my iMac G5 (with PPC) runs under Mac OSX 10.5.8. The computer refuses reinstallation of the older version (Safari 4).
    The temporary solution in my idea is using Firefox in the adapted version. Could you tell me which one?
    Thanks for help.

    Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
