If Thunderbird and Firefox is running the Thunderbird is very slow!

If Thunderbird and Firefox is running, the Thunderbird is very-very slow - in Windows 7!
If Firefox closed Thunderbird is run fine... very good. If i reopened Firefox browser... the Thunderbird is very-very slow again.
What is the problem?

I thought I was crazy. I pared back all my plugins to just gestures and adblock plus. If my Linux Ubuntu FF 19.0 sits overnight, opening a new tab takes 30 seconds!!! And it's just completely sluggish. I must restart FF to get back to normal performance.
FF slowly starts taking over 100% CPU during this time as well.

Firefox (7.0.1) was running fine on XP. Then it started using running the hard drive very hard. Even when I tried to close it, Firefox.exe was still up and hogging the hard drive. Had to close the process using Task Manager to get the computer back.

After upgrading to 7.0.1, Firefox worked fine for about a week then the computer became very slow - first the laptop, then, a couple of days later, the desktop. In both cases, it was as described above. Happens every time Firefox is started. Have had to stop using Firefox and go back to Opera and Chrome. Firefox was the default.

I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

Hi!
I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
Hope I was help!

-> Uninstall your current Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox
* DO NOT SELECT TO REMOVE USER DATA AND SETTINGS
* Restart your system
-> Download latest Firefox version from one of these links using some other Web Browser:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/

Is there a way to find out if current Add-ons are compatable with the latest upgrade ver. of Firefox before running the update?

I want to know if my current Add-ons and themes are compatable with the latest upgrade version of Firefox before running the update.

Hello azdec.
You can check the add-on's page at [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org] if it's just one or two. I believe there is one extensions in the add-ons gallery that lets you see whether your add-ons are compatible with newer versions of Firefox. But you'll have to search for them, since I don't know how it's called.
I will remind you that if you want an add-on to be compatible with a newer version of Firefox, you need to contact its author.
Also, the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Safari and Firefox are FREEZING the entire OS requiring hard reboot.

Hello new user here.
I have been working on a client computer:
Dual 2.7 G5 Tower with 8GB Ram (early 2005), only mouse and keyboard plugged into USB port.
Installed on new HD with clean install from Leopard 10.5.6 Install Disk. Updated to OS X 10.5.8, all apple updates and firmware updates applied.
ASD for the system PASSED all tests and on multiple loops.
MEMTEST Passed, no errors
Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
Temperature Calibration of the chips completed through ASD
No dust in the case, no leaks detected, no evidence of leaks either.
Through diagnostics and testing original components by using replacing with known good components show that the hardware is SOLID. All the tower components passed the Apple Diagnostics and tested as WORKING in other towers.
Permissions Fix = completed
Deleted the browser preferences, deleted caches, etc etc.
The system is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
So when I got to run Safari, it crashes within 1 minute and takes out the entire system with it. Firefox will do the same but in 5 minutes or so. Opera browser WORKS. (But that doesn't solve the problem of why Safari and Firefox are hosing the system.
I also tried this on wired lan, and a wireless lan, and a USB data modem (AT&T), and changed MTU, etc etc etc. The network is SOLID.
I am a 15 year experienced desktop IT tech working on PCs and MACs and I am completely stumped.
I can duplicate it each and every time. Browsing on google, cnn, yahoo, will crash the system.
Here is something odd too. I ran folding at home for > 48 hours on this machine and came back over the weekend and it was FINE. The second I started up a Safari, it crashed that a reboot was required to recover.
Any ideas? Any help appreciated.

Hi stantony1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Wow, great work so far!
Temperature monitor within safe ranges under 70C for everything.
Hopefully way under, like under 60°C.?
MEMTEST Passed, no errors
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.
Memtest OS X...

Rember is a freeware GUI for the memtest ...
http://tech.kateva.org/2005/10/rember-freeware-memory-test-utility.html
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Does ȃfari crash it in Safe Mode???
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below.

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

Try this DNS server ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
And here > Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

You can always shut it down manually via the Task Manager
(CtrlShiftEsc)...

Hi Linc, thanks for this ... it is weird, we tried this previously, but we only did a restart.
This morning our Mac was 'off' even though we hadn't turned it off, (maybe a power outage) I restarted and ran the calpatch immediately, and it worked !!
it is embarrassing, because as a service engineer, I am always telling customers to restart and even power down completely before trying again.
Thanks.

I am using VPN, and Firefox is loading the page. Before I reinstall the new version, the VPN was working okay. Whta happened, what I am supposed to do?

I am using VPN, and Firefox is loading the page. Before I reinstall the new version, the VPN was working okay. Whta happened, what I am supposed to do?
I have to use the VPN to acess the site because of the limitatation , and it was working okay. When I do turn off the VPN, then the sites will open, but if I activate the VPN, then site will load for ever, but they won't load.
Please advise me what to do?

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.

No one knows for sure as yet. This is the information Apple has provided to date:

Anything else is a guess.
