Long time to load and cannot change homepage

I live in France and my ISP is Orange. I have a LIVEBOX 2 and have used Orange for the last year and a half.
Up until a few days ago, Forefox only took about 10 seconds to load to my homepage which was www.google.co.uk
A few days ago, Firefox took about one minute to load and the homepage has changed to the French Orange homepage/portal.
If I try to reset the homepage back to Google, it always defaults back to the Orange portal on every start up.
I have tried downloading the Browser Protect 1.1.3 add-on but this had no effect either. I have also re-started Firefox with add-ons disabled, and again, this had no effect.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Long time to load and save

I upgraded to Premier Pro CS5 about a month ago and have had excellent results with several small projects. But now I am working on a larger project (45 minutes) and the projects takes a long time to load - 10 to 15 minutes - and even longer to save - up to an hour. Today, while saving, I received low memory warning from windows. I changed optimize memory in edit - preference to "memory" with no effect. Here are some of the particulars
System
Intel Core I5 650
8 gig ram - 6.5 gig dedicated to Pr
2 - 1 terabyte hard drives
Gforce GTX470 video card
Windows 7 Home Premium
dedicated computer to Premiere Pro
Project
Mostly HDV video
some DV video
ambient sound track
narration track
music track
a few still pictures
multiple titles
Any help would be appreciated. This is my first post to this forum. Am I in the right place for this question?
Thanks
Don

Wow! Thanks for the quick and helpful replies. It is much appreciated.
Hunt:
Yes both HDDs are internal C: has programs and paging E: is just for media scratch and project
Page files are system managed. Page file size is 8183 MB. MS help suggests I set a page file size do you agree and what size would you recommend?
Colin:
I am embarrassed that I did not think of this. I am at version 5.0.0 Guess I have been spoiled by s/w installations that check for recent updates at time of install. I will update Premiere in the morning.
Harm:
I appreciate the words of wisdom. The scary thing is that I think I understand and resemble quote you included! Thanks for the link. I will check it out after I get Premiere update.
Thanks again to all. Will work on this tomorrow and let you know how it turned out.

HT2506 every time i open an image or PDF file using preview the mac take a long time to load and opens every single file the usually opens with PDF at the same time after a noticeable delay i would like to know why and i would like to know how i can avoid

every time i try to oppen a file like an image or a PDF it oppens by default using oreview built in appliction
occasionally this is accompanied by a long delay after wich the preview oppens every file in the downloads folder and i can navigate through them with ease
i would like to know why the application has this elay i really want to avoid it
because every tome i want to oppen an image there is a risk it would take a minnute or two

In the finder right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desk top. Do NOT make any other changes of any sort. Launch iPhoto and you will Be fine. Open the import(ing) folder and if there are any photos in it you need import them to iPhoto then trash the imoort(ing) folder.

PS CS3 taking a long time to load and seems to "spin" when Reading Preferences.

I've noticed this problem a few days ago, and am unsure what I should do about it. PS used to load very quickly, and now when launching, it will spin for a good 90 seconds while reading the preferences. Is there a way to reset the preferences? Is this a sign of something else?
I'm running PS CS3 10.0.1 on OSX v. 10.4.11. Here's a cut & paste of the system info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 10.0.1
Operating System: Mac OS 10.4.9
System architecture: PowerPC G5 with AltiVec
Physical processor count: 1
Processor speed: 2000 MHz
Built-in memory: 1024 MB
Free memory: 384 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 979 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 67 %
Image cache levels: 6
Photoshop scratch has async I/O enabled
Scratch volume(s):
Macintosh HD, 148.9G, 58.6G free
Primary Plug-ins folder: Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS3:Plug-Ins:
Additional Plug-ins folder: not set

Not to answer for Buko, but he may be asking what happens if you were a brand new install? In other words when the PS application first creates the preference files.
I have similar issues with PS and Illustrator CS3, more than any time before. Frankly they load a lot of crap. I noticed that this was especially pronounced for CS3 applications.
Denise, my main machine is a G5 Quad Processor running at 2.5 Ghz and I have 16 gigs of RAM. It takes PS and Illustrator about 30 to 40 seconds to load. My point is that we have very similar machines but that I have a bit more muscle and I am getting a comparable time. Imagine if you had my machine you might get the slightly reduced start time. Its not a happy situation but our machines are getting slightly long in the tooth.
A lot of modern apps on the Mac are now using XML files for prefs and they have a habit of getting damaged and corrupted. I would manually locate them in your User directory and remove all of them by hand. Then you should do something that most do not consider.
Optimize your drives with a tool like Tech Tool or Disk Warrior. A fragmented drive severely affects PS operation in 3 ways:
1st: If you watch the PS splash screen as it loads, its loading a long list of pieces, if those are scattered across many disconnected sectors, thats slow.
2nd: If your scratch drive is pooched, that will slow down Photoshop. Don't forget what a scratch really is, its virtual memory, in other words fake RAM. BTW it never a good idea to have Photoshop and/or your OS on the same partition as your documents and scratch drive. If your hard drive is big enough, partition it or spring for another drive, they are cheap.
3rd: If your image/PS documents are on fragmented drives, again slow pokes. PS struggles to pull the sectors together.
Your info above was helpful but I could not tell what how much RAM you have, is it really 1 meg? Thats really small, more RAM will help a lot, then there is less scratch disk usage.
Finally another factor in speed, what is your dives spindle speed and access time? Faster is better.
Much luck.

Firefox takes a very long time to open and cannot connect to any website

After updating to Firefox 3.6 and attempting to follow the link to update Flash player (the link was broken), Firefox began to work VERY slowly. I closed the browser and, when I tried to open it again, it took in excess of 30 minutes to open, which it finally did. However, while it was initially able to open some websites (google.com), it reached the point of being unable to open anything at all.

You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*devtools.debugger.source-maps-enabled = false

I'm using Windows XP. I'm on cable high-speed internet. Firefox takes a really long time to load, and says "not responding" for a time before it finally loads, Any suggestions?

Why does some websites take a long time to load?

so far i have found two websites that takes a very long time to load.
and once they get there very little of the links or anything does not work
they both work on IE but i hate that program and i would like to fix firefox but i do not know where to start

After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
/opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

Sharepoint Report is taking very long time to load

SharePoint(2010) Report is taking very long time to load and display in first attempt but from the next attempt it loads and display result normally. It's urgent..please help how to troubleshoot ...

Hi Kunal,
is there multiple report viewer webpart on page? if so then SharePoint doesn't do well with multiple report viewer web parts. if possible then merge the reports in one.
Try to implement SSRS caching/ Database snapshots for reporting services, it will help you to improve the performance:

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.
