Since I switched to Firefox 5.0, my Bejeweled Blitz game is running very slowly!! Is Firefox 5.0 the problem???

I have tried to get help on Bejeweled Blitz site but no answer. Could the Firefox 5.0 be incompatible with the Bejeweled Blitz game on Facebook??

You can't use code in userChrome.css to make changes to the Bookmarks menu on a Mac.<br />
On a Mac the OS creates and maintains the menu bar (incl. the Bookmarks menu) and Firefox doesn't have control over the menu bar, so you can't style that menu via userChrome.css.<br />
You can style the drop down menu of the Bookmarks Menu button.
Your only option is to shorten the names of bookmarks that have (too) long names via the Properties (right-click context menu) or in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks

Why is Firefox taking up a lot of CPU and running very slowly?

For the past week my Firefox (and also Chrome) have been running very slowly. Any time a page loads the CPU column in Task Manager shoots up to between 10-20 when it's usually at 00, and it sends my cpu fans into overdrive until the page is loading.
Pictures load very slowly, and busy pages are even worse, such as Weather channel pages or Gawker blog articles. I've run MSE, Malwarebytes, I've run Firefox in safe mode, nothing is working. I'm really beginning to get frustrated because it's making any kind of browsing at all very unenjoyable.

Safe Mode didn't make any difference?
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

Java apps have started running very slowly since last update. Anyone else experiencing any problems.

There is an java app that I have run for years without any problem Within the last few days it started running very slowly. I went to the Apple store and ran the same app and experienced exactly the same problem
Yesterday I tried running this app on a Windows based machine and it ran perfectly.
I was all set to download the latest java when I saw that Apple supplied the java version on the MAC.
I have run sotware updates and get results that all software is uptodate.
Any suggestions?

There are many people who have posted about persistent export failures since the update. A search will uncover a number of threads just within the past month. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to these problems – and if there is common fix, I haven't heard about it.
However, the update hasn't been a problem for me – nor presumably has it been for the majority of users.

1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
          Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

After automatic update of Firefox 3.6, it is now running VERY slowly!

After having Firefox automatically update itself on June 22, 2010, it is now running VERY slowly for me, and is taking a LONG time (10-15 minutes) to even open!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday,Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I installed 3.6.4 on XP June 23 and had much the same experience, except Firefox 3.6.4 never finished opening, even after nearly an hour, and brought my entire system to an excruciatingly slow crawl, even though pgm mgr showed FF getting 0% and system idle with 97-98. This happened twice with a reboot in between. Finally had to roll back to a previous restore point and all is fine now, except--no new version of Firefox. I'll wait to see more feedback about 3.6.4 before trying to install again.

I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file.

I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file. An error appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Why wouldn't it just open on my default browser? Thanks for the help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.

My macbook pro is running very slowly since upgrading to Yosemite. How can I cure this or how do I remove Yosemite?

Opening apps or web pages is incredibly slow and extremely frustrating.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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 and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 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.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

I upgrade my mid 2007 IMac to Yosemite and it has been running very slowly since then. I have 3GB of ram. Should I go back to Mavericks?

I upgraded my mid 2007 IMac to Yosemite and it has been running very slowly since then. I have 3GB of ram. Has this been a problem for anyone else?

Your iMac year and model is low on RAM.
3 GBs is really not enough RAM to operate your Mac under OS X Yosemite OR Mavericks smoothly and efficiently.
New Macs now ship with 8 GBs of RAM as minimum, base installed amount of RAM.
Your Mac model can take a maximum amount of 6 GBs of RAM.
I strongly recommend purchasing and installing the necessary RAM amount to meet the 6 GB RAM total.
If you live in the U.S. , Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC (macsales.com) has the proper RAM module or kit needed to get your Mac to the 6 GB RAM total limit.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/5300DDR2S6GP/
RAM is user installable and is, relatively, easy to install be newbie and novice Mac users.

Good Luck!

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while. Doesn't happen with Outlook or Google?

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.

Firefox, as default browser, opens Outlook 2010 hyperlinks very slowly, but other browser open, the links, at normal speed, whats going on?

Running Windows 7, 64-bit, with Firefox 19.0 as default browser. When opening hyperlinks in Outlook 2010, Firefox takes an exceeding amount of time to open the link. All other browsers, when set as default, open links at normal rate. Have tried clearing the cache and cookies and this fixes the problem temporarily. Help!

If you have Firefox closed while opening a hyperlink then it may take some time. It will also take some time if you are opening it for the first time since the boot up of your computer. Add-ons may also cause startup issues - please see below for troubleshooting.

No matter what site I download firefox from, there is always an error and will not open or install, what is the problem? I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4. I'm trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg

When trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg to my Mac, OS 10.4, no matter what site I download it from, it will not install. There is always some error message. I'm trying to download it again now, and I know it will be the same thing again and again. Can anyone open a window for me, since the door is constantly being slamed in my face?
Thanks

Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns

Using Firefox 7 loads Facebook very very slowly whereas Firefox 6.0.2 has no problems nor does IE

When I or my family attempt to load Facebook and the apps it either takes forever or not at all to load. Other websites are slow, but not as bad. This happens only when we upgrade to Firefox 7, but when using Firefox 6.0.2 we do not have any problems what so ever.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
