Safari works but Firefox takes forever to load yahoo and youtube after switching to Time Warner.

Strange. Safari works just fine, but as soon as I switched to Time Warner, Firefox now takes almost a minute to load certain pages such as Yahoo, Youtube and google.
I have a Macbook Pro. I've rebooted the modem, Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox while cleaning out the the folders. I've tried safe mode but still the delay.
I changed my DNS server to the OPENDNS servers.
Help.

Hi there!
do you test other browsers?
i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

Macbook takes forever to load websites and often they won't load at all - yet my pc flies along

macbook takes forever to load websites and often they won't load at all - yet my pc flies along
I downloaded the Open DNS thing and I havne't got a masters degree in computers - so i haven't a clue what it does or what its supposed to do.
Overall i'm really really sorry i bought an apple and i won't be doing it again - i just need it to access the web properly!

When i click to 'go to video' a page opens onto eurosport but the video won't appear - there's just a blank spot on the page where it should be.
i get some of the pictures on the page but lots of black squares where other pictures should be.
Make sure you have the following installed:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian
Adobe Flash Player Software
After the installations, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Uninstall it asap. In order to avoid damaging your system/directory which can result in costly repairs, never install software if you do not know what it does and/or you have no clue on how to use it. If the software comes w/instructions (Read Me file), read it prior to installation.

I need to place the Maltese cross on a web page. IE works, Safari works, but Firefox does not. It is wingding character.

The Maltese cross is in the winding font family. I have the following HTML on the pages:
<pre><nowiki>
X</nowiki></pre>
The inline element tag is in a tag.
CSS: span.cross { color: #000; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; }
This has been working for years in IE 5, 6, 7 & 8, works also in safari (latest rev), but does not work in FireFox rev 4.0.1. FoxFire displays a large X instead of the Maltese cross.
Other than this small problem FoxFire works great, especially with HTML5 & CSS3.
Any help would be appreciated.

This concerns the Maltese cross problem. When I posted the problem, the data inside "<" and ">" characters is lost. The only thing that showed was the "X".
I posted the HTML used to display the cross w/o these chars.
span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top" X /span
Thanks for any help.

Firefox takes forever to load pages or download from websites. Why?

For the past week or so Firefox has been taking forever to load webpages,load email and download games.
I have re-set Firefox on a few occasions with not much difference.
The only two things I have done to my computer (which is running Win8) was to update to FF28 and to update the driver for my computers processor and that is when it seems that the problems started.
I have very few add-ons.Mainly pop up blockers and a don't track me add on.
Any suggestions on what I can do to spped FF up?
Thanks

Try to disable your Firefox and Antivirus and check it out.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Compressor takes forever to load movies and settings

When I drag a movie into Compressor, or drag a setting onto a movie already in Compressor, it now takes a very very long time for Compressor to ingest it. This is happening both on my Quad tower and on my MacBook Pro. I totally wiped the MacBook Pro and reinstalled both the OS (10.5.6) and FCP Studio 2, then updated everything with software update. Problem is still there. Perhaps it is the way I exported the movies from Final Cut? I usually export reference movies to send to Compressor, this time, I did standalones because I want to save the HDV standalone movies for later use in BluRay projects (when Apple finally...). Any ideas? Your help is appreciated.

Wow! You are my hero of the week! Thanks so much, closing the Preview window before importing solved the problem completely. Now movies and settings import and set instantly.

I'm using Imac desktop and tried loading youtube on Ipad Safari with same issues, however when I use Ipad youtube app, it was loading fine. I've tried updating my software, redownloading my Mozilla browser to no avail. Anyone able to help?

Hi czarnicj,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know this type of situation can be very frustrating. To repair the disk you will need to start your computer using OS X Recovery. Please use the attached article for information and steps to start in recovery and repair your disk.

Firefox takes forever to open/startup. How can I fix this?

I am running Windows XP. All updates are current. IE opens up fast, but Firefox takes forever. Also, it is using way too much memory. Please advise.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have windows 7, perfect connection to the internet, but it takes forever for firefox to load pages, sits and thinks for minutes before loading. what can i do?

i have windows 7, the internet connection is perfect, i use other computers with no problem loading pages. With this pages take forever to load, worse then if i had dialup. I think internet explorer is the same, but i don't use it and it's very out of date. I tried a system restore, it worked for a day then back to the same thing. Pages take minutes to load, any page. some time out. i don't know what to do next, i've cleared history, cache, cleaned the computer up not sure where the problem is or what it is.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Nothing is working right, it freezes all the time and takes forever to load

The first time I switched to Firefox 4 it worked really fast but since then it takes forever to load, the pages freeze, some sites don't recognize 4. It is very irritating trying to just get on the internet. Facebook will load slower that ever and freeze constantly. Other sites partially load then freeze. Typing anything will often freeze in mid word. I hate this. What is going on?
What is all this stuff at the bottom in the "Installed plugins" section?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

Firefox (for android) takes forever to load or doesn't load at all

Firefox will not load or takes forever to load (i.e. up to 3 or 4 minutes) mostly, I get an "unable to connect" "offline mode" error. Other apps that use data are able to connect to the network, but FF...not so much.
I'm on a Nexus 5 running kk 4.4.2

fixed the "offline mode" problem by following the about:config directions

unfortunately, pages still take so long to load it basically renders Firefox useless.

I have IE & Firefox on both my laptop and desktop. Why is Firefox so much slower than IE7? Firefox seems to take forever to load pages!

I have a HP laptop & Dell desktop with IE7 and Firefox. I use Firefox more as I like it better than IE, yet the pages in Firefox load so slow. I thought the new version of Firefox was so much faster, but it seems to drag along and take forever to load pages. Why is this??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
