My firefox is running very slow, espically when I am typing, scrolling and in many simple activities. On the other hand my internet explorer is going normally like simple browser.

Firefox 22 running very slow on windows 7 but no problem in linux. Help

Firefox 22 is running very slow ( rather stalling forever) on windows 7.
I tried resetting option from the "Troubleshooting information" menu and also tried disabling "Hardware acceleration" but still having the problem.
Takes almost a minute ( "New window not responding"..) just to try any option..like opening a new tab.
I have same version on linux mint and but FF runs smoothly.

Sorry, not an option. As I said, I have binned FF22 and gone back to 21 -- and it works just as fast as it always did, corrupt profile or no corrupt profile.

My firefox is running very slow and crashes and the curcular thing at the top keeps spinning

Hi,
Recently my firefox has been running very slow. Its take long to browse all websites and sometimes it takes really long when the circular thing at the top left hand corner keeps spinning.
When that happens; if I click on the page the screen goes white and then says that firefox is not responding so I close it however if I just leave it at the white screen firefox comes back to normal.
Also I noticed when I am using firefox my connection has gone really slow. I have disabled most plug ins im not using and also uninstalled some programs I was not using anymore on my Dell Inspiron 530S. I also have AVG Free Edition and have done a full virus scan. I think I might have spyware or malware on my computer so today I purchased Adaware Pro and am now running a full system scan so hopefully that solves the problem as I have been told that spyware can slow down a computer.
Your help in this matter would be really appreciated.
Thank you
Yusuf

An easy try would be to clear the cache, sometimes a bad page will be loaded there and each time you go back to the page it uses the cached page. [[How to clear the cache]] Another issue is Anti-virus software doing constant sweeps of the pages you are trying to view.

It'd running very slow. Should I clean it off and start over ?, It'd running very slow. Should I clean it off and start over ?

iPad is running very slow. Keeps hanging up over and over

Try simply giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. See if that helps

I am using Mac OS 10.7.5. During the last week, it has started running very slow. Any thoughts?

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

My iphone 4 seems to be running very slow, i have 25 apps, 365 pictures and 135 songs. Any suggestions ?

My iphone 4 seems to be running very slow I have 25 aps, about 364 pictures and 135 songs, any suggestions?

Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

My Mac is running very slowly especially when I am using Facebook and related products. What can I do to fix this?

Hello everyone. My Mac is running very slowly when I am using the internet, and especially when on Facebook. The little rainbow globe spins around for ages before changing pages etc. I have done several virus checks etc, but cannot find anything wrong. Sorry, but I am not tech savvy, so have difficulty with these issues.

Thanks for your reply. Well, I am not sure about the OS X version, I just gave that info from the Install DVD. I have the machine on automatic updates so I guess I am using a newer version. I know it is iMac Snow Leopard and I bought it in 2009. It is the 21.5 inch model. That is all I can tell you. I have 499GB and have used only 32GB, so it isn't a space problem.

Slow reaction when texting or typing messages, and even when I put in my passcode number. Gets slower every time I sign in.

Everything else is working fine since I've updated the phone to the new iOS7, but when I am texting or emailing, or even putting in my passcode, the reaction on the screen is very slow, and I have to wait a few seconds between each word. Is there anyway to fix this? As a writer, it's going to drive me crazy for sure!

Just found the solution, buried in another list of questions. I went to settings-General-Reset All. Doesn't remove any of your info, but it resets everything to work properly. Hopefully, this will be helpful to someone else having the same problem.

I need to know what to look for on the toolbar when I am looking for a "secure site icon" such as the locked padlock on Internet Explorer

We are unable to identify when we are on a secure site as we can when using Internet Explorer.

Firefox 3 stil has the padlock in the right corner of the Status Bar (View > Status Bar).<br />
Firefox 4 won't have the Status Bar anymore, so there you only have the site favicon on the location bar showing the domain if there is a secure connection and the website is identified.<br />
Be aware that the presence of a padlock is no guarantee that you are connected to the expected website and that is the main reason for removal of the padlock.

Step 1: uninstall Avast See how it is as that is a known culprit
Step 2: Chrome does not play well with OS X and is also sighted as a leading cause
Step 3: DropBox has been a processor or network hog though less so than the above two.

When I close firefox "everything " is cleared! EXCEPT when I open it again and anything i have copied to the clipboard (paste icon) remains lit... I believe this can be a security breach because I clear everything when closing firefox !!

I have my settings to clear everything when I close firefox ver 3.6.13. If I copy something to the clipboard, the Paste icon lights up so I can paste the text... which is normal.
The problem is when I close the browser and everything is suppose to clear (history, etc) the PASTE Icon still lights up for me to paste again.
This can be a security breach because I want everything cleared when closing the browser !!!
The only way I can rid myself of this problem is to restart the computer... which clears the clipboard of the operatinging... which is absolutely normal as well.
I should not have to restart the computer each time.
Try It !!! type text in any box... then paste it by using the PASTE Icon
CLEAR all your history, everything ... then close firefox
Reopen the browser... and the PASTE Icon will light up

I only had a few addons installed, I disabled Zone Alarm toolbar, View Source Chart 3.01. I also had 5 separate java console updates/addons, and I uninstalled all but the latest java console 6.0.21. All I have now is Roboform 6.9.98, Firebug 1.5.4, Java console 6.0.21, Java quick starter 1.0. So far, so good, the problem has not occurred today. I hope this is it, I will be more sure after a few days problem free. Thanks for the info.

MacBook Pro run very slow when open Contacts

My MacBook Pro (earlie 2011) run very slow. When open Contacs show the color ball. I can't see duplicates contacs.

Back up all data.
1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

IMac running very slow; how can I fix it?

My iMac is running so slow, I can hardly use it all. All kinds of spinning balls, etc. I don't even know where to look to diagnose. If I restart, it will be faster for awhile. Both Safari and Firefox are running very slow...or not at all. I have repaired permissions and hard drive. I have dumped permissions for Safari and Finder and anything else that seemed involved. I checked my memory....this is the report I got. Does the fact that the first one say "disabled" mean anything? I will appreciate help you can give me.

Questions and Answers:
How full is your Mac's hard drive? * Capacity: 248.92 GB.   * Available:175.18. *Used 73.75GB on disk.
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?    *Not many. I try to remember to quit open apps especially when the computer runs slowly. I always have open Calendar, Mail, Safari.
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.    *I have an anti virus but I do not let it run. I turn in on to check files and email now and then.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of so called hard drive "cleaning" apps? *No, I have none.
One thing I notice is that when I turn it off at night, it runs very well the next day until I've been on it for a few hours then it gets really bad. Last night, it wouldn't work at all so I gave up and turned it off. This afternoon I turned it back on and it has been working very well ever since.
Thanks for looking at this. I have never checked my hard drive before so I didn't know how much it had on it, but it doesn't seem like it is too full.

Firefox is running so slow even after clearing history, cookies, and cache

My firefox browser suddenly started running very slow. I have cleared history, cookies, and cache. I have run scans, and even tried to uninstall and reinstall. it is still running slow

flytnn,
after a fresh install, Spotlight will need to reïndex the files on your internal disk — that happens each time a fresh installation takes place.
I see that you have OS X 10.9.2 installed. Are you planning on installing the 10.9.3 update?
Your installed version of Java is outdated — the most recent version can be downloaded from here.

My firefox is running very slow, espically when I am typing, scrolling and in many simple activities. On the other hand my internet explorer is going normally like simple browser.
