It takes firefox a long time to open on my laptop,other sites open fast,any clue?

Firefox is my default browser and it opens very slow now,other sites open normal.By slow I mean 10 seconds respons time,before this was 2 seconds.

I have exact sample slowness problem. It takes at least over 15 seconds for Firefox to open. The blue circle just turning and (NOT RESPONING) in the Firefox title bar.
After closing Firefox, I cannot re-start any Firefox for next 30 seconds (just responsed previous Firefox not closed dialog box).
I have only one enabled add-on and no other plug-in.
My system Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bits systems.
Add-on enabled Shockwave Flash 11.01.152
Firefox 7.0.1 installed 10/21/2011
System hardware: Intel DualCore 3.06GHz, Memory 2GB. Harddrive 1.5TB (90% unused)
On my computer, Chrome is the fastest (almost immediate), Opera takes around 5 to 7 seconds, Internet Explorer 9 takes at least 10 to 12 seconds. So, Firefox used to be the fastest and now the slowest.

  • Every time I upgrade to a newer version from 3.6 it takes Firefox a long time to start from my desk top, why?

    The newer versions such as 4.0 and 5.0 run fine AFTER they launch, but they take a long time to launch when I click on the icon on my desktop. All other browsers including Firefox 3.6 launch immediately, I have had my PC checked it is not the problem. Is there a patch that I need to download?

    The iPhoto version that is currently available at the App Store os 9.5.1 and requires the Mavericks OS X.  The early 2008 24" iMac can run Mavericks.  Once you have Mavericks installed (it's free)  you can purchase iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store.
    If you don't want to upgrade to Mavericks you can purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com and install iPhoto 9.  Then up trade it to 9.4.3 via the updaters at the  Apple Downloads website: Apple - Support - Search

    Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.

    Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
    When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this?  Thanks in advance.

    I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

  • Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins). How do I fix this?

    My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down.  I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart  How do I fix all this?

    Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
    With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair  permissions.
    Good luck,

  • After installing Lion my time machine using a Time capsule backups take a very long time, particularly indexing the back up, does any one know why and a fix?

    I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard and noticed a marked increase in the time it takes my time capsule/time machine to back up.  It seems to spend a very long time indexing the back up.  Does any one know why and more importantly is there a "fix"?

    The first index with Lion takes a very long time.  Could take over 10 hours.  You just have to wait.  You can see the progress by opening Console and entering backupd in the search box

  • Signature verification in Adobe Reader 10 takes a VERY long time...

    I work for a restaurant chain that uses PDFs for their new hire paperwork. We use a signature pad to sign the documents, and the documents have 51 signature boxes. Due to signature verification, it takes an absurdly long time to complete the paperwork (up to 60 minutes). Is there a way to disable the signature verification? It's incredibly frustrating to the management staff to have to sit in the office for an hour just to fill out a document that should only take about 15 minutes.

    I'm also experiencing the same issue where we go to open a document and it takes a long time to verify each of the signatures. Have you found a solution to this?

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • Takes a very long time to load pages and is laggy

    The new''' FF (4) '''was good at first, but recently it is starting to lack the goodness it once had.
    '''It is becoming slower and slower by the day and takes a very long time to load pages. Sometimes the "loading" icon circles for 5 minutes, and whether the page loads or not depends on my luck at that time.'''
    Also, it has become seriously '''laggy''':
    '''Scrolling''' up and down, typing and '''filling out forms''' (like writing this message) etc have slowed down.
    I have deleted the history, and cleared the cache, but to no avail.
    Could it be some of the add-ons?
    Or is it that FF4 was all hyped up and '''''can't stand to it's name'''''? :)
    Please help.

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

    Do you have current backups?
    Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
    I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.

  • Bank statement import FF_5 sometimes takes a really long time

    Hello!
    In the middle of august we started to have problems with bank statement import FF_5 - sometimes (but not always) it takes a really long time (3 - 4 hours) to import data - usually it would take from few minutes to 1 hour (depending on size of import file). There is no error, the documents that match are posted automatically like always, the amount of documents, that are not posted automatically, is the same as always... We didn't do any new settings in system.
    We tried to find cause with debugger and sql trace, but there was no error - the import program works ok, then suddenly it stops in one line and searches in cluster table RFBLG without filled field GJAHR (year) - that means that it searches among approx 7.400.000 records (the size of our RFBLG is appr. 12 Gat the moment).
    We don't have ideas any more, how to find a cause for strange behaviour. The problem is, that there is no rule - sometimes it's ok, sometimes it works very slow - no matter how big the import file is. The problem occurs with all bank files (we have 3 banks).
    Do you maybe have any suggestions, what to do and how to find and eliminate the cause?
    Thankyou in advance for your tips!

    Hi Meti,
    Have you tried analysing differences between files that it goes slow on and files where it goes quickly?  Sounds like there is some difference in file data that causes it to do a lookup.  If the traecs are not finding the differences, it might be wortwhile to put the file data into Excel for a slow and a fast and compare field level data?
