If I have large number of bookmarks saved (lets say over 1000) wil the browser run slower than if I had no bookmarks at all ?

I'm just curious if the number of bookmarks affects how the browser works: faster (no bookmarks at all) or slower (lots of bookmarks saved).

Note that SQLite database files like places.sqlite have fixed minimum size of 10 MB and its size gets incremented in 10 MB chunks, so you won't notice a change in size.
A large history is more likely to show performance effects than more bookmarks as you can easily have over 50,000 history items, but having that much bookmarks is less likely.<br />
The visited link count may need to adjusted if you visit an URL that you have bookmarked or have visited before.

I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower. Has anyone had similar problems? I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower. Has anyone had similar problems? I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.

Have in iPhone 4 that's not been ANY trouble in the last 18 months that I've had it, but all of a sudden it is not allowing me to connect to the iTunes shop. It's on ios7, and I've not tried to sync to my computer yet, but I thought I'd try here first

My macbook is running slower than ever. I have done all the updates and installed MS Office 11. Any thoughts?

Hi, all,
My macbook is running slower than ever. I have done all the updates, emptied my downloads, and installed MS Office 11. I am not sure if I can do anything else?!

arupp,
I suggest trying to replace the RAM and the memory storage. This is hard and could potentially ruin your MacBook if you do this the wrong way. Another easier way is to erase thing that you don't need.

Hi, I have a large number of products in one column and prices of the products in another. Most prices are different. I want to know if it is possible to increase all of the prices by 5% or 10% etc. Hope someone can help. From Stiffy

Hi, This is my first time I hope someone can help.
I am working with numbers and I have a large number of products in one column and the relevent prices in another. All the prices are different and I want to increase the price of everything by 5% or 10% etc. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Stiffy123

Ad a new, temporary column (or one you can hide when not using). Let's say the current Prices are in column C and the new column is D.
you can inflate the prices in column C by 5% by entering the formula in the first cell of column D as:
=C2*105%
likes this:
to fill down, select D2, then copy, then select the D3 thru the end of the column, then paste. Now select C2 thru the end of column C, now paste over the existing values using the menu item "Edit > Paste Values"
you can now hide column D until you need to use it again.

Since the latest upgrade to 9.0.1 on mac 10.5.8 the browser is slower and the bookmark icons have gone - why?

after the last upgrade to 9.0.1 the browser is very slow to open web pages when it starts (and I think slower generally). Also, the icons for each bookmark in the bookmark menu have gone, which makes it difficult to identify some bookmarks just by their description alone

Hi simonarcher,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix for the bookmarks.
As for you speed issues, I'd try starting Firefox in Safe Mode to see if it still happens. If not, then I'd start enabling your add-ons 1 at a time until you find the one that is slowing things down.
Hopefully this helps!

I have never set-up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser to locked mode, now, and requests a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

There is no URL line, into which anything may be entered.
Also, I reinstalled the program as well. No change. Still defaults to a request for a password THAT I HAVE NEVER CREATED.
Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect a cable, and pressed my chest against my keyboard, while the computer was in sleep mode, with Firefox running in the background. When I stood, the browser was locked. I've tried all passwords I know, and use. No luck. The following addy will not load, even if entered into home page.
chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
Again, no url line opens, which I launch the browser, anymore. I just get the following message:
Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device.
Help! Thanks!

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
**If other missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

How do I turn off Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash Advertisements which slow the browser to less than a crawl.

Some pages have 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash advertisements running at the same time, which slows the browser down tremendously. Then, if you happen to have multiple tabs open, the browser crawls to a virtual standstill, and many times, stops responding at all.
I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not have it be something that runs all the time for every page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - which kills even the Adobe Flash items you might want to view; such as a youtube video.
Why is there not a way to turn Adobe Flash off in the browser? I have updated both Firefox and Adobe Flash but nowhere is there an option for turning it on or off depending on your needs.
Can a control be added to the Internet Options, that you can set, to have a page ask before it is allowed to run Flash Content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY enhance the enjoyment of browsing multiple pages.
Any information on how to do this, would be appreciated.

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you.
I guess it would have been too simple for it to have the same name. I was looking for Adobe Flash, whereas Firefox's add-ons manager page calls it Shockwave Flash.
Kind of hard to see an orange when the only label the box has is grape. :)
I truly appreciate your help.

You need to fix the "hangup" issue that firefox has. I close the browser, and 24 hrs later, it's STILL eating up all my processor time.. this IS an issue you need to have fixed.

I dual boot between Win XP Pro x64 and Win 7 Ultimate x64. I also have a 2nd pc running strictly XP Pro 32 bit, and it's the same problem. Close the browser, and everything else takes a long time to load, even the security screen for Win7. then it takes a few minutes for task manager to show up. Seriously, I love the browser any day of the week over Chrome or IE. Fix it. kinda hard to do much when the browser is eating 90%+ of the processor

I greatly appreciate the suggestions and the links.. I honestly looked earlier, but didn't find the ones you posted. My fault there. I have looked at them, and for all intents and purposes, I've already taken the steps they've suggested: disabled all plugins and extensions. Removed/uninstalled all plugins/extensions. Uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, no plugins or extensions.
The problem still occurs. This isn't a problem that just started occurring, but has been relatively consistent in appearing since, v3.1 ( i think? Been going on for quite awhile)
I'll continue to try and find just what is happening, but honestly.. I really do not believe the problem is my system.

I have firefox 5 on windows 7 ultimate, evry time i close the browser , when it is opened again i get the last page i was browsing, but Options, general, when firefox starts is set to show my homepage, whats wrong?

homepage is set to www.google.co.uk, this works when i click the home page icon, but not when i open the browser, its always the last site i visited , which i dont want

Perhaps your install of Firefox is hanging on exit, triggering the session restore.
You can disable session restore by changing a hidden preference.
Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
In the filter box type resume to bring up a small number of preferences
Double-click on the preference browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to change its value to false

I need to create a folder on my desktop that contains a large number of emails. How do I export/copy the emails in bulk?

I need to copy emails onto a disk/memory stick in bulk. How can I do this?

This was a feature of OS 9 & earlier.
There were many tools to emulate this behaviour, this old one claims to be… Updated For Mavericks!
http://www.northernsoftworks.com/trashx.html
Try that app if you really want this feature, frankly I think now may be time to consider moving away from this behaviour.
Search for other apps if that one is bad, it has been done before.
