Pages VERY slow to load since downloading Firefox 6.0. How do I fix or reinstall old version please!

Since I downloaded the latest version - 6.0 of Firefox, I am having serious slowness of page loads. Nothing has changed in my PC or Network configuration and in the past have had very fast loading of everything - even streaming of videos, etc. The only thing I found in your help about all pages loading slowly was something about a proxy add ons issue - but I don't have that enabled. It seems to be even worst when I am submitting a form -

Is that the answer to everything. How about a real fix. Pages refuse to load. If you hit the stop loading page button and then hit refresh, the page will load. If you don't the page will try to load forever. I left a page for over a hour and it never did load. If Firefox releases one more update like this I'm done. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0, but now whatever they did to screw up 6.0 is doing the same to 5.0. I tried deleting Firefox and starting over with a fresh install for both, but still just garbage. Also, the whole time I've been typing this another page in another tab as been trying to load. Is Firefox updating without testing this stuff because there is a security problem? Rats!

Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

Pages very slow to load

Hello,
All of the sudden my Safari is very slow, and pages take almost one entire minute to load. Is there anyway I can speed this up or clean up my system?

Is that the answer to everything. How about a real fix. Pages refuse to load. If you hit the stop loading page button and then hit refresh, the page will load. If you don't the page will try to load forever. I left a page for over a hour and it never did load. If Firefox releases one more update like this I'm done.

Recently, all pages VERY slow to load (home page 1 min+ !!)

Recently - certainly since last FF update - all web pages are painfully slow to load. Even my Google homepage can take well over a minute. Kaspersky full system scan says no viruses, trojans or malware detected. Even after page loads, it can take up to another half minute before I can interact with the page (e.g. use the scroll bar). It's driving me mad! Any suggestions highly appreciated. Many thanks.

I have been having this problem for a couple of weeks now. Slow start up page! It takes a good 45 seconds to load, and then is blank and white for another 12-30 seconds. I do not have Kaspersky. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx. I have ran scans, and they say I am bug free.
I have been to many forums and firefox "Help" pages, and nothing (I can understand anyway) has helped! This is crazy! Can someone help?

Web page VERY slow to load

I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, but the gallery page loads very slow. I believe it's from the images, but they want to keep all those images and that size. I used IrfanView to compress the images but to me, the page still loads slow. Here is the web page http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery.html. Is there anything else I can do to help the web page load faster? Thank you!

I think you're missing the point.
You need to actually resize each fullsize image to make a smaller image which will be your thumbnail. Then compress.
e.g.http://www.kmmcement.com/gallery/DSC00486.JPG is 3264px x 2448px.
1. You need to resize that image in Irfanview to 240px x 216px then compress it.
2. Then insert the 240px x 216px thumbnail in your page. (Not the fullsize image which takes far too long to load)
3. Then link each thumbnail to its fullsize version (3264 px x 2448px which is still too big dimensionally for a webpage)
4. Same steps are required for all the fullsize images.

My iMac has suddenly become very slow to wake from "sleep." Why? How can I fix this?

My iMac has suddenly become very slow to wake from "sleep." How do I fix this and what is causing the problem? Even the mouse wakes very slowly.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
1. Quit all app scompletely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Since updating to 3.6.22 web pages are very very slow to load and downloads too how can I go back to my healthy computer please?

Last week I updated to Firefox 3.6.22 (?)and since then a whole host of problems have occurred:
web pages are taking forever to load
downloads (like ccleaner and registry booster) wont work
some programs I've used often aren't working correctly (MS Picture manager)
I would like to uninstall 3.6.22 and get back to having a healthy computer again.
Today the web page problem became extreme - pages simply not loading at al and so I have just reloaded 3.6.22 in case something was wrong the first time.
Suggestions please!
I'm not that tech savvy and don't know if the installed plugins you've listed below are correct.....

Firefox 4.0 was released in March, over 3 months ago. If you have some add-ons that haven't been updated yet for Firefox 4.0, much less for Firefox 5.0, it is time for you to find similar replacements for those add-ons. IMHO, extensions like that should be considered as "abandoned" by their developer.

Web pages very slow to load

I have just bought a Mac (3.1 GHz with 7 GB RAM) and have been very frustrated with the performance of Safari, Chrome and Firefox - specifically how long it takes web pages to load.
Chrome says 'sending request'.
Safari says 'contacting website' or 'loading http ....'
Firefox says 'connecting to website ....'
I am connected to a LAN via an ethernet cable and am connected to the internet via cable modem (BigPond).
My DNS servers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
I have cleared the history in the web browsers and have rebooted the machine many times.
What am I missing?
(My PC, connected to the same LAN, does not have the same problem.)
Many thanks for any help.

Let's stick with Safari.
Have you "reset Safari" from the Safari menu? You might try that.
Also, in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS, have you entered the DNS server?
What does a speed test like http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
or one of the others show?

User profile page very slow to load

Hello,
the page that displays information about a user's profile loads very slowly. I occasionally try to visit the profile page of OTN forum users, to know the little they wish to disclose about their name, job, area,... an it's not unusual to wait for a good 30s for this page, when most of the forum page (topics listing, thread,...) display in under 10 seconds.
Of course I prefer it that way than the other way round, but 30s is around the limit of usability, whereas the info displayed there seems to deserve no complex query (ah, the points total, maybe...).
J.
Edited by: jduprez on Feb 24, 2011 3:03 PM
It seems the profile page is not very well served indeed, I also pointed out this bug in the forum markup: {thread:id=2129240}

I think it's something to do with the single sign on for the site, and the fact that the profile details are all stored in a central server somewhere rather than with the forum server itself.Ah, yes, that's likely, since indeed one can freely browse the forums listing, topics, etc... but in order to view a profile page one has to be logged in.
And maybe the profile page are even served by another server, if the same profile page is used in other areas enrolled in the same SSO domain.

J.

My gmail fails to load since downloading firefox 26.0?

I have my homepage set at my email address, but since latest download the mail fails to download.
I have cleared cache and cookies and even reset Firefox to no avail. Please advise.
This laptop is running windows 7 (64bit)

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Web pages very slow to load if at all

I just bought my first Mac about 9 months ago...and was loving it until 7-10 days ago the web access has slowed to a crawl, and sometimes not at all. I also seem to recall it was about the time I updated some software.
I have tried several of the suggestions on these forums...adding DNS numbers, reversing DNS numbers....etc...nothing has worked thus far.
It also seems to have affected Firefox... is that possible?
Many times I cannot even access the web at all...I had to try about 6-7 times just to get to this Apple website.
I am wide open to any suggestions. Please note...I am only somewhat savvy regarding operating systems...so be gentle!!

HI,
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash.
If deleting the cache.db file doesn't help, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not third party add-ons, troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
 Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
And if you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, it would be beneficial to do so.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

My websites are very slow to load since the update

Is anyone else having slow uploading of pages

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

After updating my ios4 to ios 6.1, it became very slow. Browsing my music takes forever. How do i fix it to make it fast again without losing my music files?

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

Firefox 9.0.1 is very slow to load some pages

I upgraded from FF6 to F9.0.1 and what a mistake.
Most sites, like www.bbc.co.uk, are very slow to load.
The upgrade to 9.0.1 is the only change I have made and would now like to go back to my previous version 6.0 but i am unable to locate the files to do this with to download
Can someone either make the older version of FF available or help me to get 9.0.1 up to speed.

9 is like Windows Me.
Epic Fail.
Adding nbrs to version is not a solution.
Better to go back to 3.6 and make that better rather than get in the version race with Chrome and IE.

Pages VERY slow to load since downloading Firefox 6.0. How do I fix or reinstall old version please!
