Latest update makes firefox so slow it's unusable
after yet another ff crash, I forced an update to the latest release today. THAT was a mistake. Before, ff was simply unstable. Now it's so slow it's unusable. It's like running Windows 8 on an IBM XT.
Given that I'm running Win7 on an Intel i7 3770 w/16gb of RAM, and a loaded graphics card, pretty sure that I'm not the problem.
You guys REALLY need to fix the stability. I'm having to use Chrome to write this, since FF is so unusable right now.
I have the same exact problem. I'm a firefox user since the first version, and always have experienced ups & downs in performance and stability.
Latest releases result in too much instability (at least 2 or 3 daily crashes) up to v29.
With v30.0 the problems are aggravated:
Crashes continue, but now there are huge memory leaks and sluggish user experience (it freezes for a fraction of a second every 2 seconds!!!)
This happens after some time (hours?) after a fresh start (that i MUST do every couple of hours to make it usable).
Firefox is going the wrong way...

Latest update of Firefox is REALLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be? I'll have to start usin safari again as this isn't funny anymore
Can i retro grade back to the last version?uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert -
This latest update of Firefox suddenly had this ad (that's what it looks like), for what I am guessing is that it is an ad for a Harry Potter movie, as it says "HP7", (are there really seven of them now??? Wow, talk about overselling something....), but I need to remove it, can't see or read my tabs and tool bar headings, not good! My operating system is Windows XP, tablet PC edition, SP3.
Is it possible you accidentally installed a Persona? If it's a Persona or other kind of theme, you can revert to the default theme here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Appearance
Right-click default and choose it (your menu choice could say "wear it" or it might say something less strange)
Any luck? -
I would like to get the downloads tab to go back to the way it was, before this most recent update. Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved over to the right. The little hand won't budge it. And the download interface is different, now it is under something called 'library', I liked the old way much better - any way to restore it to that?
Can you clarify what you mean with ''downloads popup/tab''
Is this the pop-up that you see when finishing a download or do you mean the pop-up you see if you hover a link?
When a download is in progress then you see a download progress bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window. -
I have tried to watch programmes on ITV player, which I have successfully done in the past, but now it tells me it cannot find the video and that I need to turn off ad blocking on my computer. I went into options, but could not find anything about ad blocking. I added www.itv.com to the exceptions list for pop up windows, but this has not helped. The problem only began after the latest update of Firefox was installed. I have never had any problem before. How can I get ITV player back, please.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

the site farmtowngifts.com worked very well prior to the latest update of firefox and firefox is even recommended by this site. Now it is not working properly.

After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.Look the SOLUTION CHOSEN:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/882621
and ''John99'' reply down the chosen solution.
thank you -

The latest update my firefox broser not support my keybord. how can i solved it. when i click key f then show top menu of broser like file edit etc.
If you want to temporarily show the menu bar, you have to press either '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.
If you want to permanently show the menu bar, right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose "Menu Bar". -
If I type in a search into Google and select ANY of the links highlighted in blue, I get redirected to a totally different web search engine. This has never happened prior to the latest update of Firefox.
Which search engine is it redirecting to?

Prior to installing the latest update for Firefox this morning, all was well, but since that time, when I go to Farmville, it won't allow me to open my giftbox, barns, inventory, or bakery. It was fine until then. I tried Internet Explorer, (which I hate that browser with a passion) but it allowed me to do those things. I restarted and rebooted and it didn't help the problem. Is there anyway to undo ONLY the last update to Firefox?
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.
May not be related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated
* Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)''' -
When I do wild card searches of the site, I used to see check marks next to links that I had observed. After accepting the latest update, I don't see the check marks any more.
OK, I can get Firefox 8 downloaded but then what do I do? The instructions say to move the Firefox image to the applications folder and then drag the icon from the folder to the dock. I don't know how to do this.

The latest update attempt from FireFox has stated that it is not compatible with the Kasperskys' anti-virus 2012 software. When will FireFox be compatible?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html -
How to reverse latest update for FireFox?
Trusted server https does not have certificate (Oracle Grid Console 11g) was not loading after latest update from today
The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

How can I find the latest update for Firefox 5 without upgrading to Firefox 6.0?
I had the latest version of Firefox 5 getting automatically upgraded to Firefox 6.0, which disabled my Java 6.022 and 6.023 plugin. Since updating my Java is not an option, because then I can't access my bank account, I uninstalled Firefox 6.0 and installed Firefox 5.0. I quickly cancelled and disabled the auto-update. Now I have no idea if this is the oldest or the latest version of Firefox 5, because the auto-update doesn't let me choose the latest version of Firefox 5 instead of Firefox 6.0. Is there a way to do this manually?
That are Java Console extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and not the Java plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins).
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
You can also disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
* Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
See:
* http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0 -
I am running the latest version of snow leopard on my mac. Since the last update of Firefox, I have not been able to open any newly downloaded pdf's. I get a message that says "The file cannot be opened.
it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
When I download using Safari, everything works fine. I have been using Firefox for a long time and all of my bookmarks are in Firefox.I also disabled adobe npapi plug-in and now the pdf files open as usual.
