Latest version of Why is the latest version of Firefox running slow?

Firefox is running very slow, some pages slower than others, Like Ebay is impossible to scroll down the page. Even this page is slow. I have reset, deleted bookmarks, tabs, nothing helps. I have used Firefox for a few years, but now have had to use Opera which is super fast.

You might already have reviewed the suggestions in this article, but if not: [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]].
Since Flash is used pervasively on the web, as a diagnostic, could I suggest this test: set the Flash player to "click to play" so that sites require your permission to use it. Firefox should load the rest of the page more quickly and you can decide whether the site needs to be able to use Flash. (Sometimes it's just for analytics, super-cookies, or to play ads.)
Here's how:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
On the right side, look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar (looks like a small lego block) and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Do pages load any faster?

Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

why does Mountain Lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too? Please help!

The problem is probably not mountain lion. It works just fine on my computer. And a few million others.
If your computer is having problems, you can try to fix it with some simple troubleshooting maneuvers.
Take a look at:
Mac OS X BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE Tips Mountain Lion 10.8 Lion 10.7 Snow Leopard 10.6 10.5 Tiger 10.4 Why How To Tutorials

After completing the OS X Mavericks everything runs slow

After completing the OS X Mavericks everything runs slow. Programs, menus and files. When I click on them it is like they hesitate to open. Programs are slow at opening and working with them.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Why is the newest version of Firefox 75% slower to load all pages than my previous version?

I downloaded the newest version of this browser Monday or Tuesday, and ever since it replaced my previous version of Firefox, my webpage loading has been like molasses in January, I sit and wait and wait and wait! It's infuriating, this sudden logjam of browsing is pushing me to install Windows Explorer, with all it's humongous security holes! I need to go back to my previous Firefox, but since this new version has erased that one, I don't know if I can.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

Why is Firefox running slow with version 17?

Hello there I was wondering whether you could please assist me with an issue with version 17.
I have recently updated to firefox 17 and i regret to advise that its running really really slow. I notice several other users have had similar issues as I noticed in the support forums.
I am running Trend Micro Virus software if that means anything to the performance of firefox.
I love using firefox and really would like to get this issue fixed if you can point me in the right direction.

I have the same experience when I updated Firefox to a new version but kept an very old version Adblock Plus, which still appeared to work properly. After update ABP to the new version, my Firefox doesn't stuck any more.
Try to run Firefox without any addon loaded. If FF runs smoothly alone, then there must be some problem with your addons.

Why do the title bar on Firefox and taskbar on Windows 7 leave distorted image when a list of bookmark folders crosses either one ?

I use lots of folders in my bookmarks list. I have noticed that with both AMD and Nvidia based video cards, that if I am using a folder in my bookmarks list that has lots and lots of bookmarks, the list of bookmarks will cross both the title bar area of Firefox and the taskbar on Windows 7 at the bottom. When this happens, both the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom will leave images from the bookmark list that don't go away (unless I use F11 view fullscreen to clear away the image and restore to normal ). If I am using a Matrox video card, this doesn't happen. Why is this?

Hey cor-el,
Wow. That did it. You are a genius! Thank you, thank you. It's very important that I be able to use the folders with saved bookmarks feature for my business which I rely on daily.
I unchecked the "use hardware acceleration feature" where you said it was in Firefox 9 browser and it resolved the problem immediately. I am using an Nvidia GS8400 video card. I was having the same problem on the new ATI/AMD video cards too (haven't tested though on ATI computer yet). My Matrox M9120 doesn't do that at all though. Do you have any idea why that is ? Is it a software conflict between Nvidia or AMD drivers and Firefox?
One more question on your response solution, why do you recommend upgrading to current video card drivers since un-checking the "hardware acceleration" feature in Firefox works? The video card drivers on the disc that came with the card I am using were supplied by the manufacturer and released last year. Shouldn't that be good enough?

Which version of Firefox runs on Raspberry Pi default Debian distro?

I use Firefox on my other computers. When I try to download FF it wants me to use FF for Android. The Raspberry Pi has a Debian Linux distro on it, not Android. What version of FF do I need and how do I tell your download site to let me have it?

Presumably the Raspberry Pi is capable of running the Android version of Firefox.
As for running a Debian Firefox Desktop version does the distro offer its own Firefox build to install, or an equivalent '' "Iceweasel'' " ?

* https://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel
There may also be an option to install a Mozilla Firefox, presuming the device meets the specification, and assuming your Debian has the necessary libraries.

Firefox updater unable to update with message saying ensure that I do ot have more than one version of firefox running

As I start up firefox, I'm prompted to update but it fails saying that it cannot update and that I should make sure that there is not more than one version of firefox running

It was not directly useful, although interesting. It convinced me that there was a problem in android, so I reset to factory defaults and reinstalled Aurora. Now sync is working well again. thanks

Why is the battery on my iphone running out so quickly

Since the last update my iphone runs out of battery power in half the time it used to. I have followed all the advice about turning off anything that consumes energy but it has had no effect.
