Slow loading pages even with a fresh FF install and fresh Profile

Hi, I been having this issues with FF for months now, had to switch to Google Chrome
Pages takes a while to load, transferring data, waiting for website, connecting, while in Google Chrome and other browsers it connect to websites and load pages a lot faster
for the past few months that I have had this issues I tried Resting or installing a fresh copy of FireFox (with new profile), tried to run it without any add-ons, reinstalled windows several times (win7, 8.1, and Win 10 Technical preview "all 64bit") and I even bought a new internet router during that time
tried pipelining configuration in "about:config" nothing fixed the issues, and not certain websites but all the websites I visit, and I finally thought about finding help here because I prefer using FireFox, thank you in advance.

Hey, I tried to restart in Safe mod with network but for some reason, the network is not working still, but I tried the Diagnostic Startup through the System Configuration "msconfig" and tested FF but still having the issues.

Even with a new hard drive and fresh install, it won't boot

Here's my story. On Wednesday last week, we had a power outage. (Yes, I had a surge protector. It didn't matter.) The next morning, when I turned my iMac on, it wouldn't boot. It got to the startup icon, but it just spun forever. I restarted and ran fsck, and it gave me a bunch of invalid sibling link errors. I used my Mac Mini to look at the hard drive in Target Disk mode and got the same result. I also tried using Disk Warrior, which hung a couple times before rebuilding the directory, but that didn't help. I took the iMac into the Apple Store, where a Genius checked it out, reset the PRAM, and then got a kernel panic. He told me I'd have to "erase and install," which I did (I had most of my important stuff backed up, but still lost some data, unfortunately.) I rebooted with the Apple install CD and reinstalled the OS. Then I rebooted into the clean install. The machine was extremely slow and took forever to get to the desktop. Then it hung with the spinning beach ball when I tried opening the Applications folder. A couple more pokes around the desktop eventually produced another kernel panic.
Yesterday, we got the hard drive replaced. I just finished reinstallation the OS, and guess what? It still won't boot. I get the Apple icon after the start up chime, then we get a blue screen that's quickly replaced with a gray screen. Then a black screen, then a gray screen again. This repeats forever with an occasional spinning beach ball until I restart.
I should note that I can boot into single-user mode and run fsck, and it reports no problems. I'm running DiskWarrior now for lack of any other ideas, and while it booted into the CD, it took forever to do so. I'm completely out of ideas, so other than throwing this machine in the trash and buying a new one, is there anything else I can try to diagnose the problem? Please note I was able to boot into a CD and reinstall the OS twice so far, so it still seems to be functioning to some extent.
Any ideas?

Did you format the new drive, if not it has to be formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before the OS can be installed. Here is a simple how-to guide:

Safari slow loading pages

I am wondering if I should test out Firefox, I have heard that it runs fast, but not sure how it compares to Safari. I have noticed that lately Safari is running very slow loading pages. I went to Macrumors.com and it took a good 30 seconds to get the screen to fully load. I am not sure if the fact that I am also backing up using TM and connecting wirelessly to my HD using AEBS is causing some slow down? Any ideas?

Just in case you have not received an answer. I have both Safari and Firefox on a August 2006 white 24" iMac (2GB RAM) with a medium speed DSL connection via ethernet to modem/router. Both load very slowly, often on the order of 25-30 seconds. This is true for opening the home page and for opening a bookmarked page once home page is reached. Apple Rumors for example, always takes a minimum of 30 sec. Mail also loads slowly. If I use the wireless connection, it takes somewhat longer to load a page in both Safari and Firefox.
I also run Parallels with Windows XP SP2 and Firefox on this machine. When I open Firefox in Windows, it takes about 5 seconds, sometimes 7 to reach home page and after that the same speed to open a bookmarked page.
I have a PC with Windows XP SP2 in the basement connected to the router/modem vis USB. Firefox opens a page in 5 seconds or less.
I'd like to replace this PC (it has screen freeze problems) with a new iMac, but am reluctant to surf at Safari speeds.

Safari now slow loading pages from Apple!

This is an add on from a future post today with this problem. Safari slow loading pages, NOW even slow loading Apple pages here on the discussion board.

Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

When I try to open a new tab, it automatically goes to a babylon seaqrch page, even though I have un-installed the toolbar

Someone installed babylon toolbar on top of Firefox - since then when I try to open a new tab, it automatically goes to a babylon search page, even though I have un-installed the toolbar.
Please help

I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

Because I know enough to be dangerous... I was trying to extend the two outside columns down.... Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
The other link problem is the left sidebar links. When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page. I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article. From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
<a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it can't find the page). To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing. It makes no sense. When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what. I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
Got any ideas?

FIRE FOX IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER LOADING PAGES I GO TO ONLINE. IT LOAD CIRCLE STOP SPINNING AND WILL START BACK BUT IT TAKES IT'S TIME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL UPGRADES.

FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Safari is Extremely slow loading pages, like Hotmail, eBay, CNN,

For the past few days, Safari has been extremely slow loading most all pages, especially Hotmail, eBay, CNN, etc. Apple support hasn't been able to help. Hve done all the normal stuff, Reset Safari, restarted, etc.... eventually reloaded Leopard, with all updates, 10.5.2. Still slow uploading pages. Have checked network with speedtest.net, Download 5019 kb/s, Upload 363 kb/s. Was told by everyone I asked, these were good speeds, "normal." But it takes 20 seconds - 60 seconds sometime to upload a page. Have watched "activity monitor" under network, "data sent" goes out fast, data received seems to come back but then stalls. I'm not sure of what numbers I should be getting on the return. Any suggestions????

READ my post, March 17, for answers. I read other post, March 15-08, by Toshinmac and March 17-08 post by Rudolf, answered by Hawaiian Starman and Klaus1. My problem decribed there, with Time-Warner/Roadrunner DNS settings. Followed advice... Problem Solved! Thanks to ALL for their input!!!! A Beachbum!

Slow-loading pages in Safari after using Airport Express to Extend

I wanted to strengthen the signal of my wireless network, so I purchased Airport Express for the bedroom of my one-bedroom apartment. After setting it up, my Safari connection seems as slow as my former 33.6 dialup. The pages load way too slowly. I have a DSL connection with Earthlink, and after talking with their tech support, they again deferred me to you guys. This is not the first time this has happened and after fixing it the first time, it slowed again so i went back through the steps of rebooting, resetting and reinserting the plug in the Airport Extreme Base Station. I would like to know how to stabalize a wireless network, and how to understand and properly configure all the dialog boxes in the Airport Setup Assistant, Network Preferences, Intenect Connect and Safari Preferences. I am annoyed and tired of being in the dark as I have devoted a lot of time and energy to this matter. Please help.
mini mac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The Aiport Express manual points out that using the AEX as a bridge to extend the range of an existing network reduces your 54mbps WiFi bandwidth by about 50%.
I use my AEX with this same setup configuration and it works pretty well for Web surfing, but this portion of my network is somewhat slower. The speed reduction is more noticeable with file transfers, and so I usually plug in to the Ethernet portion of my LAN to download large files or move them between computers.
Recently, my Web surfing also was getting slower and slower. Eventually I traced the problem to a combination of factors. Besides the reduced AEX bandwith, which really only affected a portion of my network, I discovered that Comcast was causing a severe slowdown. After many complaints over several months, faulty equipment at their local "head end" in my neighborhood was discovered and replaced and the slow surfing problem went away. But occasionally, it returned. Then I discovered that Safari was causing slowdown problems as well. The Safari solutions have been widely discussed at http://www.macintouch.com.

Safari starts getting slower and slower loading pages

Hi, i have always been a pc person, but recently made the switch to mac. i love it, but have an issue with safari. My internet speed is 17mbps so thats ok. Now after a few weeks of browsing the safari gets slow at loading pages, i have deleted history and emptied the cache. I had spoken with support during the 90 days free support. Now that has expired. They told me to get to the "verify permissions" then do "repair permissions" as there are a lot of error messages that are brought up. Once i have done this the internet is fine again - but obviously somethig is a miss as it starts slowing down over the weeks. Would upgrading to the latest version of snow leopard sort this? any ideas of other reasons. any help much appreciated

(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit.)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

BSP adds CR/LF marker at the end of the page even with compression options

Hello!
I'm creating normal BSP Page with Flow Logic and setting the contents myself:
<%@page language="abap" %><%
response->set_cdata( '-=-' ).
%>
The problem is that WebAS somehow always adds a CR/LF (new line) marker at the end of the page (even if I set compression option to "Remove leading and trailing spaces"). I also tried to set different mime-types.
On the other side there is a BSP Application it00 (described here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/eb/8c683c8de8a969e10000000a114084/content.htm ) that shows the uploaded file right.
So I was trying to include that 'solution' setting OnInputProcessing event to this
*         set response data to be the file content
          runtime->server->response->set_cdata( '!=!' ).
*         set the mime-type and file size in the response
          runtime->server->response->set_header_field(
            name = 'Content-Type'
            value = 'text/plain' ).
          runtime->server->response->set_header_field(
            name = 'Content-Length'
            value = '3' ).
          navigation->response_complete( ).
But nothing happens at all.
Please, help me getting rid of these two annoying bytes ('CR/LF') at the end of page.

Thank you, Cornelia!
It works now.
The following code is "must have"
navigation->response_complete( ).

Trouble loading parallels even with new version

I am having continual trouble loading windows 7 with my parallels. Spouse has parallels version 3.0 for mac (2008) (older) and has no trouble with windowsXP I have reinstalled windows 7 and am wondering if I should try purchasing and installing this older version and the XP version. Any suggestions? Am I missing something in the basic set up? Thanks

The W7 "partition" should be at least 40-60GB on your disk, the Ram used for W7 should be more than 1GB (I have it on 1.3GB, but if you have "heavy" apps better set to even more), PD6 itself uses continiously around 0.5GB in RAM, so I think having 2GB total RAM in your MBP is not enough. But you never said how much you have in your MBP.
Update PD6 to the latest version (read: http://kb.parallels.com/en/111541).
For other issues you could research the Parallels Fourums.
