My handy password toolbar slows down Firefox browser .

I just got a new computer with Windows 7. This did not happen with Vista. In order to browse at a normal speed I have to remove the Handy password toolbar from view. I had read that add ons can slow browsing so I removed it to solve the problem, and it worked but I want that toolbar in view as I had with Vista. I really like that toolbar.

You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
Close Firefox.
Restart Firefox.
And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
Thanks anyway Mr.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

Why adobe flash player slows down all browser's performance?

I rememeber longer ago there were problems with flash player plugin inside Mozilla's Firefox browser causing the plugin to crash: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again | Firefox Help
After a recent update (17,0,0,134) it almost never crash but it slows down all browsers performance untill it finally launches next video. Almost the majority of all news sites use flash player
to launch its' commercial. And it has several such boxes with commercials, for example: www.lrytas.lt
And while I'm listening to music via youtube and on the other tab reading news on that site, when music clip ends and the browser starts to load other music videoclip,
then the whole browser's work is paralysed - I can't write text, cannot scroll down, cannot click any link. All this is because the system is busy while in youtube next clip is loading.
Mouse marker becomes into round rotating circle indicating loading procedure (firefox is not responding). And it takes time - up to 10-15 seconds to launch new video. Then sudenly all my actions is executed after such pause - my text is typed,
my scroll down and maybe link is pressed. All this slowing down procedure is annoying. It wastes a lot of time. I open task manager and I see that Firefox is taking 900.000 or 1300.000 K of memory. My OS is Windows 7.
I close whole firefox.exe process and then it automatically close plugins. Then I open the browser again and it ask to automatically recover interrupted sites, I agree with it and then it opens everything again. And again
it is working continuously for some time untill slows down browser again. With more tabs more problems. Moreover, view of a video sometimes comes too late too. Some images are lost as system is too late already because
loading procedure took too much resources.
Long long ago flash player was better. But today with a rise of new ****** substandart computers like iphones ipads you have to evolve the player in such a way that it has to play on everything, but its performance on different platforms
is not the same.
Who is guilty - my PC, Firefox or the plugin? Or maybe I am?
In My Cold Opinion, users actions can't be ignored. The preference should be user's continuous control over a system load.

I dont want history kept at all.but afraid it will slow down my browser.

I dont want my history saved at all. I am afraid it will slow my browser down though if i dont have it...?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

See the [[Clear Recent History]] KB article for information on settings in this regard.
Not saving history will not slow down your Firefox.
As described in the article, you can choose to not save any history at all, save it only in an active session, or keep it. You can also start a "Private Browsing" session if you have history enabled, but don't want Firefox to remember history for a certain session. And you can always clear the history completely if you wish to do so.
For further help with history-related topics, you could check out this search in the KB: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?qs=s&q=history - or ask further questions in this or a new thread here on the forums.

Safari suffering slow down when browsing Facebook

Morning everyone,
Well what can i say, the title says it all.
When browsing Facebook with Safari (version 6.0.1) after about 10 minutes or so, Safari becomes very unresponsive, massive slow down, freezing, beachballing etc, any other sites im on whilst the Facebook tab is open also suffers too,
I use google chrome and its absolutely fine, so 2+2 being 5, im guessing its an issue with my Safari, maybe an installed plug in or something.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Its on a Macbook Pro Retina running ML 10.8.2
(Bit new to the mac so please be gentle ;-))
thanks
Scotty

I can't remove Yandex Elements from the Open menu list with right mouse button and Tools menu although I removed Yandex. I think it slows down Firefox.

I downloaded Freeyoutube downloader from internet and somehow got yandex installed in my computer with toolbars on firefox.Despite I removed Yandex from my computer Yandex elements still stays in open menu when right mouse button clicked and in the Tools menu. I tried to uninstall Firefox, remove yandex registry from windows registry and restart computer, and then reinstall firefox, Yandex elements still hangs there. Firefox is now running very slow compared to the running before Yandex.

hello, please try all these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Looped Animation slows down in Browser

I have a looping animation.. basically its a rocketship with clouds passing by making it look like its flying.
The 2 clouds and the rocket flame are set to loop/repeat.. but over the coarse of a couple minutes, the animation slows wayyy down and evetualy renders the actual browser page useless / super slow.
It appears the animation is killing the memory.. How do you reset this? Is there a code that allows the animation to repeat w/o taking away from the rest of the page's cache/ memory?

Adobe Acrobat Toolbar issues in firefox browser

Hi all,
Since a recent Adobe update I have been having issues with reading pdf documents within firefox 3.6.20.
Basically to summarize I like have the Adobe Toolbar and always had the display in read mode by default disabled.
However if I disable this the toolbar doesn't appear fully only partially with nothing at the top only to the left toolbar which has the thumbnail icon, search command and attachments.
To get the full top toolbar back the only way I have found is to enable read mode.
Then when the pdf appears in brower to click the adbe icon on the reader toolbar and then the extended toolbar is fully back.
Whats gone wrong?
Seems to it with both adobe reader X and Adobe acrobat X pro
Thanks,

Sounds like a problem with the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder.
Do you have (security) software that might protect and restore an older copy of this file?
Note that the default position of the Home button is at the far right of the Navigation Toolbar and the combined Reload/Stop/Go button is positioned at the right end side of the location bar where you also have the star to bookmark web pages.

Java slows down firefox 5 & 6. Was OK in 3.6

Running a page with java cause the browser to become unresponsive. This started happening in ver 4 and still does it in ver 6.
It worked fine will allthe ver. 3's
I am running XP pro sp3 on an I5 machine. How do I fix this?

I've noticed that working with tab groups instead of my preferred mode of multiple windows mitigates this problem dramatically. What used to take hours now takes a couple days before the memory has blow out of a 4 gig 64 bit Win 7 machine.
This is an observation not a solution. Memory problems need to be fixed. Teaching another browser to work my way is tedious. But I'm about ready to abandon FireFox. (For what it is worth T'bird does not seem to have this problem. Perhaps that would help point to the memory leak.)

A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

When I load a Flash based game site for my kids, the reload symbol spins continuously. The site slows down all browsing because of this. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? It has only started recently, in FF3.6 and in 4.

The site in question is webkinz.com, and once you log on to the game. I have tried Adblocker, and swept for sypware. I have reinstalled Flash, downgraded Flash, back to current version now. Tried in FF 3.6 and 4.
this is now happening on both PC's (Win 7 and XP) and the Laptop (Win 7).

Feature Request: Double Clicking should be slowed down for Browsing use.

I have a menu on my website that you need to click some what fast - but when I do a normal double click using Opera, FF, or IE it doesn't highlight the entire menu. When I try in Safari it does.
It seems like the other browsers have set the double click up a couple notches some how.

This isn't the first instance of someone with mouse issues. It seems Safari is currently ignoring a lot of system wide keyboard and mouse settings, including but not limited to, special function buttons and scroll speeds.
My inital guess is that its a bug just like the others.

Sometimes I get a message on the task bar at the bottom of the screen saying Firefox is using too much memory and the browser slows down terribly. What do I need to do?

This has been happening for several months now.
I use AVG anti-virus and it runs both updates and scans regularly. I do find that if I do an extra full scan it improves the situation for perhaps half a day.
Sometimes the fault slows down the browser so much that it times out and I have to click the retry button.
It seems to happen with most sites that I visit, I have been unable to identify any particular one as being worse than the others

If you want to reduce memory(60%) '''when firefox minimize[only in windows os] '''there is an easy old good trick:
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
then '''right-click''' anywhere in the list of preferences and choose '''new''' > '''boolean'''
then type in the open window '''config.trim_on_minimize'''
then click''' OK''', and in the next window select '''TRUE''' and click '''OK'''.
exit firefox and restart-it.
'''works only in windows os'''

Completed all Troubleshooting steps but continue to get slow downs from unresponsive scripts on Firefox. Is there a way to use my browser w/out slow downs?

Mac OSX.
I've gone through the list of troubleshooting tips for slow downs and for unresponsive scripts. I continue to get slow downs to my computer and browser when I use my Firefox. It is becoming so bad that sometimes I cannot get work done.

And now, I think I've identified part of the issue. When you pin tabs as an app tab, this slows down Firefox in all the ways I mentioned. Please, please Firefox, if you are going to offer such a useful and simple thing, make sure that it works...
Having closed these App Tabs, I had a temporary break from the slow downs... Then after another few minutes, the slow downs in Firefox continued... At my wits end.

Firefox slows down on certain sites

Something is slowing down Firefox when browsing Facebook, Odnoslassniki and LinkedIn. Sometimes I get an error message of Java not responding but mostly I don't. Watching videos on YouTube from those websites also makes the computer slow down. However, RuTube works fine with hardly any hitches.
This is on a Windows 8.1 laptop with 4GB of RAM.
Things I've done:
-Checked on a laptop of a similar spec and Firefox on that machine doesn't slow down on the same sites, when using the same Wi-Fi network.
-Scanned with Malwarebytes several times over the past week.
-Reset Firefox and used no add-ons. The result is the same.
-Updated Flash player and Java to their latest versions.
I would really appreciate some help in getting Firefox to work smoothly :)
