Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 is not loading web pages properly. It takes forever to load pages. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer load them rapidly. I have no spyware and disabled all addons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

Web pages are taking an extremely long time to load. Sometimes they don't load at all. This is especially true with video sites like YouTube. I scanned my entire computer with Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes, Iobit Malware Fighter, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, Malicious Software Remover Tool, and Emisoft Anti-Malware. I did an anti-virus scan with Avast. I also ran CCleaner and Advanced System Care to clean all junk. Nothing is working.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running about 7 tabs open at startup, this has always worked fine, here is the problem and the sequence of events leading up to hope. Any suggestions would be appreciated:
Background:
Mozilla updated me to 7.0 automatically a few days ago, no problems
Yesterday they auto updated me to 7.0.1, now it won't connect
Scaled back to 3 tabs at start now it connects but after a minute of so, the icon in the tabs just spinning and it isn't connected
Scaled back to one tab the same thing
Reinstalled Firefox, disabled the Norton firewall to test, same thing
Checked the application setting on the firewall, it is set to allow or auto
I downloaded Firefox 8 beta same issue
Any suggestions would be appreciated, not sure it is foxfire or not but the upgrade to 7.0.1 started
Anyway to go back to a pre 7 release?
I disabled the add on and have the same problem.
BTW IE 8 works fine.
Thanks

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • I did an auto software update on my iMac, which included a restart. When the machine restarted it's stuck with an Apple logo and spinning wheel. I've tried all of the key strokes that are supposed to work, but nothing has. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Gray screen could be any number of things, bad third party at boot kext file, a bad Apple one, a bad install/upgrade of OS X, drive corruption etc.

    HI again Andy,
    The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
    I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
    So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
    Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
    Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
    which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
    You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
    Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

  • How can I get version 3 of Firefox. One web site that I need to use monthly hasn't upgraded their software & it doesn't work on Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer

    Up until two months ago I was able to access this one web site (www.melaleuca.com). It is a site that I order from monthly. When I type the address in I get a screen saying "the connection was reset while the page was loading". I called their tech support & of course it's never their fault, it must be my computer! NOT! I go on financial trading and banking web sites that are super crypted, so it's not my computer. The tech support said that their web site only works with Firefox 3.0. I told them that was dumb! My other theory is that one of those insidious "upgrades" that Microsoft is always doing changed something, but they're never going to admit to it. I can access the web site on my iPhone, but that is tedious. Help!

    I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your problem, but I wrote to them also to get back the old Firefox, where Google was there. I lost one of my toolbars with certain
    bookmarks, this is a major headache. If you get any info. I would like it if you could let me know and I will do the same. [email protected]

  • TS3694 My Ipod has a White Screen And Wont Go Away i have restored it recovered it reset ity nothing has worked what should i do now?

    I Have had my ipod on the white screen of death for days and nothing ive tryed worked ive tryed reseting restoring recoverying everything possible and still have white screen of death What is wrong with it how can i fix it

    Try what you havenot yet tried
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have found that Firefox has difficulty in handling certain types of photos, but when you look at them in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer they look alright. What happened in Firefox?

    Check these photos in Firefox and then in some other browser:

  • When trying to click on firefox I get a message, firefox is already running, and asks me to close it. I have no other programs running. I cant even get firefox thru google chrome or internet explorer.

    I recently upgraded to firefox 3.6, I think the inability to access firefox began after that. I`m worried that I may have lost my bookmarks.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == For the past week, when I attempt to click on firefox ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

    This has been happening to me for months IN w &. It is REALLY ANNOYING.
    MY WAy AROUND IT IS TO PRESS Ctrl,Alt,Del & select or start the
    Windows Taskmaster.
    Select Processes Tab & scroll down until you find "firefox.exe" , select it & at the bottom select End Process. In the next window press on End Process & Firefox will be closeD. Get out of that & you will be able to start Firefox.
    A bit messy but saves re-starting the computer.
    I WISH THEY WOULD FIND A SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Firefox 5.0 cannot complete the action of attaching a document to a Calendar Event in Google Calendar, while internet explorer and chrome can.

    When using Firefox 5 i cannot complete the action of attaching a document (google doc or uploaded doc) to an event in Google Calendar. This action does work correctly in ie and chrome, so it seems to be a compatibility issue. When i get as far as selecting the attachment the script seems to stop. Even "cancel" is un responsive. I have to reload the tab to move on.

    Firefox uses that loopback connection to communicate with the Software Security Device. That includes the Password Manager and secure connections.

    i cant login anywhere as all my passwords are saved in firefox, i cant even access teh firefox preference to get my password, it's so sad

    You likley have a corrupted Firefox preference or other support file in your User/Library folder.
    Programs load these files from the user account to adjust to user specifications, instead of having multiple copies of the same program on the machine.
    So when you reinstalled Firefox, it reinstalled the progrma only and the user support files remained from before.
    To prove this point, use System Preferences to create another Admin account and log into it, Firefox should run like a charm.
    To remove the Firefox support files from the problem user account your going to need to locate these files and delete them one at a time and try FF again and again.
    The first one you shoull try is your FF .plist file located in your User/Library folder.
    Clicm on the Finder and use the Go > Go to Folder and paste this
    ~/Library/Preferences
    and press Go.
    Now scroll down until you see the Firefox or Mozilla .plist file and Trash it, quit and restart Firefox, it will recreate the preference file with default settings you will have to reset it.
    Next run through the list of fixes #1-13 here before proceeding.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    If you need help deleting other FF files, download the free Easy Find from MacUpdate.com and search for anything "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in your User account only and take your chances you hopefully won't delete your password file in the process.
    You should have site passwords written down someplace and locked up tightin case you need them, a computer isn't totally safe and reliable.

  • I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

    I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting.  I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices.  I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button.  I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account.  Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems.   Again, thanks for any suggestions.

  • Since updating to iOS 6 on my ipad i am unable to connect to the internet, itunes or the app store. I have tried many suggestions about changing the dat, logging in/out of itunes etc but nothing has worked! Please help :)

    Since updating my ipad to iOS 6 a few days ago i can't seem to get onto the internet, the app store or itunes, nor can i update to iOS7!!

Nothing works, can't use my apps, facebook, music etc. Will contact apple again and try get some answers. But thanks for any info

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • I recently switched from iphone to samsung galaxy s5 and am not receiving messages.  I have tried countless fixes but nothing has worked!

    I have tired deactiving my device from icloud online, I have had my contacts delete me and re-add me as a contact.  I have also had them try deleting our entire message thread and starting a new one.  I also had them hold down message and select "send as regular text" 3-5 times.  I tried texting stop to some number  I found in another discussion thread. NOTHING HAS WORKED.  I called Apple support who claims they cannot help me.  My service provider just refers me to apple.  And now, some of my contacts no longer have the option to "send as regular text" when they hold down the messges to me!  Please, please help me!

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
    Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
    Any other ideas?
    It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.
