Performanc of Firefox is poor after installing version 10.0.2 on Mac OS

I use an Imac with MacOS 10.5.8. Untill recently I used Firefx v9 without problems. After ignoring the urge to upgrade I finally installed Firefox 10.0.2 only to notice that performance now is very poor.
Are there any tips, preferences to tune to increase the performance to normal levels?
Kind regards

Hi DaanRemmers,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.
Hopefully this helps!

After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working.

After installing version 5 upgrade to my Iphone 4 all the apps stopped working and I cannot reinstall them at the Appstore giving me a message that I have already purchased them. I can see all the apps, click on them, but none of them will open. How can I make them work again, since the Appstore will not allow me to reinstall the apps? The only apps that are working are the ones pre-installed by the upgrade.

Try downloading any free app using the App Store on the phone.

After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

I understand that much. On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS. This is NOT the case on my iMac. Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way. When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network. The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar. Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way.. When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have). This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

If you mean the "no entry" sign, a circle with a slash through it, then you need to reinstall Mountain Lion.
Boot into the Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r at startup tone until gray screen.
From there, reinstall Mountain Lion.

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". How do I fix it? Thanks

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". I have looked at the Energy saving icon and everything looks OK. How do I fix it? Thanks

OK I solved it.
I followed instructions from http://superuser.com/questions/214943/what-is-preventing-my-macbook-from-sleepin g/409481/
Go to Utilities in the Applications folder and open the "Terminal" app.
Type pmset -g and hit Enter
If "sleep" has 0 next to it and the words "imposed by" or "prevented by ; The number next to the imposed by is the process ID causing the problem. Copy that number.
Type ps -e | grep <process ID here> and hit Enter. This will list all running processes that have that ID (will also include the grep process)
For me it turned out to be Internet Sharing enabled that prevented my MBP from sleeping.

After installing Version 5 I get an error message about incompatibility and min and max versions.

I shutdown Zone Alarm, and deleted the contents of the file, which contained the "exe" file, then reinstalled Firefox version 5.0. I still get the XUL Runner error message about incompatibility of Version 5.0 with min and max 5.0.1. What next?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox Not Responding after Installing Microsoft Office 10

After installing Microsoft Office 10 (student and home edition) on my laptop, I noticed that Firefox is going into the state 'Not Responding' every time I access it - it takes about 10 secs to 'think' and then comes back online. It continues to do this every time I want to access a new page, new link, click on mail in Yahoo Mail, etc. Has anyone experienced this issue?

1) Check the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/JServ/etc/logs/jvm
has servral logs for OACoreGroup Servlets that are initialied
2) You might have to enable the debug option in jserv.properties and jserv.conf
(find IsItWorking.java in Metalink for the appropriate note )
3) If this is 403 forbidden then check trusted.conf alongside httpd.conf
pls keep posted about how this issue got resolved.

JSP not responding after installing 11.5.10.2 on IBM
HACMP
i have finished installing Oracle applications
11.5.10.2 on IBM clusters (HACMP version 5.1)its a
multinode setup with mutual failover. other
applications are working fine. the installation went
well. but the final part on the middle tier , during
the post install checks it says JSP not responding. I
checked the apache error-log and saw the follwoing
entry
[Sun Apr 23 21:04:21 2006] [error] [client
172.29.200.74] client denied by server configuration:
/appl/oracle/devcomn/portal/
DEV_erpappssrv/oprocmgr-service
>
that bafles me because that ip address was not used
in the installation. its the persistent ip address of
the HACMP. the service ip that was used in the
configuration file was 172.29.200.75
however there is no mention of this in the error
log.i also edited the oprocmgr.conf in the
Apache/conf directory after which i dont get the
error however the servlets pages then hangs and
returns page cannot be displayed error on internet
explorer. no error is registered on the error log.
the jdk am using is 1.4.2 which is the recommended
one.
what this means is that i cannot access the self
service pages and as you know you need self service
pages to access the application in 11.5.10.2
i opened a TAR with oracle on 8th April 2006 and till
today i have not been able to get a solution.
I am hoping that i will get someone in this forum who
has met a similar problem or who has an insight into
how we can solve this problem already am weeks past
the target go live!!!
Please Kindly help

After installing version 3.6.12, i can not download files from websites

After installing the newest version of Firefox for my Powerbook G4, running OS X 10.4.11, I am having great difficulty getting any files to download. Any file that you click on and should download on its own will not. I can not right click and save as all of the time. Some of the sites I work on require you to click, and then print. This does not work. Please advise. Thank you.

After installing version 11.3.1, saying itunes has stopped working

Accepted update to version 11.3.1 this week and now can't get iTunes to work. It starts up, shows the interface and then promptly a message saying iTunes has stopped working is displayed by Windows X64 and it tries to search for a solution to the problem which it can't find. The iTunes was working fine until after this version 11.3.1. I've removed all Apple applications installed (bonjour, mobile support, Qtime, iTunes) and re-installed, but same problem. The iTunes application is broke for me and no resolution I've found on any forums has helped. It's permanently broken.

Hi Figaro56,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an issue where iTunes isn't responding or is quitting unexpectedly. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that help you isolate and resolve the issue.

COM interface no longer working after installing version 7.6.2.9

I wrote a VB6 application a while back that has always worked fine for me. It referenced the COM interface (iTunesApp type library) of iTunes.exe to pause/play the music when a certain hotkey is pressed among other things. But after installing the new version of iTunes (7.6.2.9) it no longer works. It fails trying to create the iTunesLib.iTunesApp object. I don't remember the version number of iTunes that I had installed before that worked, but it I always keep it up to date, so it was the most recent one before this one. iTunes itself is running fine, but as far as I can tell, iTunes.exe no longer has a COM interface at all (you can't even register it with regsvr32 because it doesn't expose a DllRegisterServer routine).

OK, before you dive any more into the registry, a simple question. Did you try uninstalling iTunes, rebooting, and re-installing iTunes?
I do have an entry for 'iTunes.Application.1' (below). However, I'm sure there are many more registry entries related to iTunes. In other words, adding this entry will probably not be sufficient to restore the COM functionality.

Drawing artifacts in Firefox and Thunderbird after installing MSI AMD R6850 graphics card

After installing new graphics card (MSI R6850 CYCLONE 1GD5 PE/OC), latest drivers on WinXP 32bit, I'm experiencing frequent drawing artifacts with Mozilla Firefox 8.0 and Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0. The problem represents itself either as horizontal black stripes or scattered color checker pattern. It happens especially when switching from other application to Firefox or Thunderbird or when swiching from child window (like Download Manager) to Firefox. It affects either whole application or just some rectangular region (clearly region which was redrawn due to application switching). Next repaint (like switch between Firefox tabs) usually fixes the problem. It is just visual issue, behavior is not affected. The problem never happened to any other application till now. Any ideas? Anyone experienced same problem? Thanks in advance.
Zbynek
P.S. Here are the screenshots for both problems:
http://astrofoto.euweb.cz/tmp/black_stripes.jpg
http://astrofoto.euweb.cz/tmp/color_boxes.jpg

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver that fixes these problems.

WiFi-Network Issue After Installing Updates, When I turn my mac on from sleep. Help..

I recently installed updates on my MacBook Pro Lion and after installing MacBook Pro WFI Firmware Updat 2.2 and Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0, when I put my mac on sleep and come back, my mac will not connect to my network automatically. I have to turn off WiFi and turn back on in order for me to connect again. I didnt have this issue before installing these updates. Can anyone help me with this? Is it a software issue or hardware issue with my mac?

I'm very angry about this. This has been ongoing for quite a while, and the past several point updates (10.7.1 and 10.7.2 haven't fixed it.) I'm on 10.7.2 and still having this problem 100% of the time when I wake my 15" 2010 MacBook Pro from sleep by opening the lid. Even thought it's connected to the same network (Airport Express, fully updated) when I close and open it, WIFI does not reconnect, and I have to manually turn it off and on again before it will work.
I'm not the only angry one about this though. Do a search on the Apple Communities forums for "macbook pro lion wifi sleep" to see many other users with the same problem.

How do I get firefox to work after installing an update (Can I go back to an older version if possible)?

I recently updated from Firefox 3.6.3 to 3.6.8. I skipped previous updates because of similar problem I'm experiencing now however now it is worse. Immediately after installation, messages windows pop up. The FIRST window says: “Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
The SECOND window (with a red circle surround a white ‘X’) says: “firefox.exe – Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
The THIRD window is called the “Mozilla Crash Reporter. We’re Sorry. Firefox has a problem and crashed…” where it gives me the option of submitting a report and restarting (which I have done).
The problem happened during previous attempted updates which is why I tend to avoid Firefox updates until today. However, in the past all I would do is manually power off the computer and restart the computer. Firefox never completed the installation so I was able to use the older version of Firefox.
Now I cannot do that because Firefox is updated to 3.6.8 which refuses to open. How can this problem get fixed? I am not “tech savvy” but loyal to Firefox (and for now I have no access to all my bookmarks).
Thank you.

Hello Michael.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.
