Since the last automatic update, Firefox has been running slow as molasses, with a refresh box coming up constantly. What can I do to correct this?

Since the last automatic update (approx. one week ago) my Firefox has been running slow as molasses and I keep getting a "refresh" box popping up when the pages get hung up (very often)
What can I do to correct this? I clean my cache out at least once daily - most days more. Virus scan says I'm clear of viruses - Glary Utilities tells me that all changes to my registry have been fixed (sneaky apps trying to get in) I'm going crazy because I am used to my FF being fast! HELP!!!

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

HT204380 I have 8 mb of broadband and am unable to use facetime as it loses the connection. The same happens with Viber. This seems to have happened since the last software update. Has anybody else had this problem.Regards, Kevin

I have 8 mbs of broadband but it does not seem to be adequate for using Facetime or Viber. I lose the connection via Facetime every few minutes and Viber doesn't work at all. It always says that the network connection is poor yet it's showing a full signal on the phone. It was a lot better before the last software update. has anybody else had this problem.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Since the last iphone update i have been getting the message cannot connect to itunes store when i try to download any application. How do i resolve this?

Since the last iphone software upgrade, every time i try to download an application i keep getting the message "cannot connect ot itunes store". How can i resolve this? I have tried rebooting but that didnt work.

Try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

Over the last week my Firefox has been crashing whenever i close games and sometimes in the middle of them. What is going on??

I got a new rogers box and I had a Norton Security installed and since then the games like farmville and cityville have been crashing on a regular basis. I have called about the Norton 3 times, and i tried the Internet wireless and wired and nothing has changed so I don't know what else they can do. Is there something wrong with the flash player over the last week????

It seems to be a common complaint. Norton Security does not play nicely with Firefox (or IE).

For the last two days, firefox has been freezing or Not Responding and giving error message

every 30 seconds or so firefox tells me it is not responding. and once it comes back it gives me the following error message.
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

I did install a java update, don't know if this is related.

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 does not disappear 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.

Firefox has been real slow for past 2 days, IE is fine

Hi,
For the last 2 days Firefox has been real slow in terms of browsing and wont even start downloads in a lot of cases.
I upgraded to Firefox 4 today to see if it would solve the problem but it didnt. A lot of times websites show up messed up and its getting really annoying.
What is wrong with Firefox?

You should also update Flash.
See http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and for the last few days, it has been itslow to load anything, especially web pages. I get the rainbow swirl when loading or reloading. I guess I am spoiled. Up until now it was lightening fast!

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages. I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it. I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:

Macbook, Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Since the last software update Safari 5.1 will not save history. Prefs. are set correctly, reset has been done, appropriage plist has been trashed, now Saf. 5.1 has been re-installed. Still dumps history every time

Macbook, Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Safari 5.1.1
Since the last software update, Safari will not save bookmarks history.
Prefs. are set correctly, Cache has been dumped, reset done, appropriate .plist trashed, and finally an uninstall and clean install done
with 5.1.1 download from the Apple support site.
The problem still exists, making me very suspicious that this is a bug.
Any solutions? Let's hear 'em.

M. Davis:
Thank you for your kind and prompt solution. It is a winner.
Problem solved, again many thanks and a very fine evening/day wherever you
may be.

Since the last IOS update, I still can't drag distribution lists from my contacts to my email. Apple has been absolutely no help, in spite of contacting them 5 times on this subject. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

No Mac can run any version of iOS, that is for iDevices only.
Macs run OS X. What version of that do you have?

Thunderbird: Since the last automatic beta update, I cannot access my emails or links

Thunderbird is set to automatically download new versions -- apparently, I am on the beta list. Since the last beta update two weeks ago, I have been unable to access the contents of my emails without "reply"-ing to the email. Even when I do peruse the content in the would-be reply, I am unable to access any of the links in the email.
I have a PC, and am running Windows 7.
Whoever is responsible for changing the parameters in the last beta version, please fix this very devastating error. I am not literate in computer language; I am an everyday user. Thunderbird has become much more trouble than I am able to reasonably navigate. Thank you.

Do you know why you are on the beta channel? This is provided for those who wish to test upcoming versions and release candidates and the like, and by definition, may offer software that is significantly buggy.
Occasionally a user may be steered towards a beta because it has a fix for a known problem. We're not too good at putting that user back on the main track when the formal release has caught up. :-(
I'd suggest that you:
# back up your profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
# install current mainstream Thunderbird from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html
There should be no need to uninstall your present version of Thunderbird, particularly if you allow the new one to set itself as default mail client when installing it.

Since the last 2 updates to Firefox my screen flickers or blanks out when I scroll my mouse, or type. I also can't scroll using the side bar on the right side of the screen. Please help!

As detailed in my question. I need help as my screen has been flickering or blanking out when I scroll my mouse or when I type. This has only started happening since the last 2 updates to Firefox.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

I have an iPod touch 4th gen 8 gb and ever since I got the iOS 6 update it has been slower and there appears to be less space and I am getting really frustrated any chance I can upgrade to the new 5 gen?

Ever since i got ios 6 it has been a slower and it says i only have 2 gb left when i have10 app and 0 songs. I got this iPod a few years ago so the warranty has already expired. Please if there is any way I can upgrade let me know.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. Sometimes when you update and do other things files will be corrupted and make the "other" category large. Restoring from backup usually reduce the other .
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

IControl has bugs since the last OS update

I've been using iControl from m-audio for the last 2 years without any problems, but since I made the latest system update the icontrol goes crazy for no apparent reason. Tracks get soloed or muted without me touching the track buttons. Is there something I can do?

My computer recognizes it but as soon as I launch iTunes I get the error message: An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.

Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?
