I have IE & Firefox on both my laptop and desktop. Why is Firefox so much slower than IE7? Firefox seems to take forever to load pages!

I have a HP laptop & Dell desktop with IE7 and Firefox. I use Firefox more as I like it better than IE, yet the pages in Firefox load so slow. I thought the new version of Firefox was so much faster, but it seems to drag along and take forever to load pages. Why is this??

  • Can I authorize Logic Pro on both my Laptop and Desktop Mac

    I use my Macbook Pro for mobile recording using Logic Pro and I was wondering if I can authorize my Mac Pro desktop to use Logic Pro too? I purchased Logic Pro from the iTune store, so I don't have disks to install from.  Using the Desktop at my home studio is much more convenient then using the laptop.

    Yes, just log into the mac store and it should appear under the Purchases tab and you can download it again.

  • Firefox takes forever to load pages or download from websites. Why?

    For the past week or so Firefox has been taking forever to load webpages,load email and download games.
    I have re-set Firefox on a few occasions with not much difference.
    The only two things I have done to my computer (which is running Win8) was to update to FF28 and to update the driver for my computers processor and that is when it seems that the problems started.
    I have very few add-ons.Mainly pop up blockers and a don't track me add on.
    Any suggestions on what I can do to spped FF up?
    Thanks

    Try to disable your Firefox and Antivirus and check it out.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • The Google Search Box won't respond and I can't composing an email in AOL won't work. I've tried on both my laptop and desktop computers. I have Firefox 3.6.8 and am a Mac user. It's not my cache because this empties everytime I close out. I've never

    When typing in a google search, nothing happens. I try hitting return or clicking on search and nothing happens. I can however search by going into Advanced Search and retyping my query. I also have to retry repeated now to get an active window when I want to compose an email in aol. The window will pop up and nothing is active. This has been happening for a couple weeks now. I also have found that many times the AOL toolbar won't work...buttons are inactive and I have to quit Firefox and reload several time to access any of Firefox or AOL toolbar buttons.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.google.com; http://www.aol.com

    If you can't get AOL to talk you thru it, then it's time to stop using AOL.
    You are paying extra for a useless service. You already pay (and HAVE TO PAY) to the internet company that gives you the internet modem and conneciton to the internet, and they are be giving you 1-5 free email addresses with that account. (call them if you never set them up).
    There is no guarantee you don't have a problem with your mail setup on your computer, but this is the right time for you to set up your [email protected] accounts, download all your AOL mail including your address book (FROM AOL'S WEBISTE via Safari) to your hard drive, make sure you are using an external drive with Time Machine and doing daily if not hourly backups, and start sending emails to your friends and family and business from the new mail account(s).
    Otherwise you can call someone who saves computers and AOL accounts for a living and pay them $25- $100 hour....

  • HT5824 Why have I lost the Outlook contacts and can only access those in icloud on both my laptop and desktop computers

    I am trying to send information to one of the contacts that is normally in my outlook address book. That book appears to have gone away. The only contacts I have are those in icloud. I would think they would sync. Apparently i need to do that manually? Many of the contacts that have formerly lived in outlook do not show up in icloud. ?????

    If it works on one Firefox 3.6.10 installation, it should work on the other - assuming both PC's have exactly the same version of Norton installed, including that Firefox Toolbar extension. Another possibility is that Norton uses a different version of their software on WinXP than they use on Vista.
    Tools > Addons > Extensions - does the Norton Toolbar show as being incompatible?
    You could try forcing a Norton program update to see if their Firefox extension gets updated.

  • Both my laptop and desktop at work are giving error "Sync encountered an error while syncing: unknown error. This just started for no obvious reason

    firefox 4.0.1
    I don't think this started when i upgraded, only noticed this today on both computers
    Running XP on both.

    If you have tried everything, you should, first open a bug with the log of your server error (so the team can fix it) and then replace the info in the server. It's probably corrupted:

  • Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 is not loading web pages properly. It takes forever to load pages. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer load them rapidly. I have no spyware and disabled all addons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

    Web pages are taking an extremely long time to load. Sometimes they don't load at all. This is especially true with video sites like YouTube. I scanned my entire computer with Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes, Iobit Malware Fighter, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, Malicious Software Remover Tool, and Emisoft Anti-Malware. I did an anti-virus scan with Avast. I also ran CCleaner and Advanced System Care to clean all junk. Nothing is working.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Running about 7 tabs open at startup, this has always worked fine, here is the problem and the sequence of events leading up to hope. Any suggestions would be appreciated:
    Background:
    Mozilla updated me to 7.0 automatically a few days ago, no problems
    Yesterday they auto updated me to 7.0.1, now it won't connect
    Scaled back to 3 tabs at start now it connects but after a minute of so, the icon in the tabs just spinning and it isn't connected
    Scaled back to one tab the same thing
    Reinstalled Firefox, disabled the Norton firewall to test, same thing
    Checked the application setting on the firewall, it is set to allow or auto
    I downloaded Firefox 8 beta same issue
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, not sure it is foxfire or not but the upgrade to 7.0.1 started
    Anyway to go back to a pre 7 release?
    I disabled the add on and have the same problem.
    BTW IE 8 works fine.
    Thanks

  • Syncing music from Laptop and desktop, why can't I do both?

    I read that you can use more than one machine, yet when I uploaded Itunes to my desktop, it says that I can only sync to one computer (my laptop)...will someone explain how this works? I would like to use both, and they are both mines, so why can't I keep the music from my laptop if I decide to sync to my desktop?

    Hi Valerie,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 provides detail about the data that can be synced and merge from multiple computers. So, you can sync and merge Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes on multiple computers.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides a little more detail about music and videos only syncing from one iTunes library.

  • HT1694 Is there a way to have emails sent to both your ipad and desktop and then be able to delete them off of your ipad while having them stay on the computer? Two people use the same email account.

    My parents use the same email address and both want to access all the emails that come in. My mom uses the ipad and my dad using the desktop. Recently the ipad started deleting emails off of the desktop when you deleted them off the ipad. Is there a way to get the messages deleted from the ipad to stay in the inbox on the desktop? Thanks!

    Yes, that would require a POP type email account. What you describe now is the proper functioning of an IMAP type email account.
    Contact your email provider to see if they can help.
