Suddenly FF has started to take several minutes to load from the Icon. Thunderbird still loads instantly. I am using Microsoft OS

I use Vista Microsoft OS and have FF and Thunderbird icons installed. Over the last through weeks the FF Icon has often taken several minutes to load the front page. Thunderbird still loads fairly much instantly.
The problems became more noticeable following a recent MS upgrade

  • OSX 10.9.5 start up takes several minutes to connect to internet

    My mac mini has now got a faster boot up time since having a SSD installed.  However, I have noticed it takes several minutes for it to connect to the internet.  Under Login Items, I use to have my NAS setup to connect a drive on start up.  But, I always received the error "There was a problem connecting to server."  I removed it.
    What I have tried so far:
    Upgraded from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5, that didn't change anything.
    I have a Airport Extreme router (7.6.4) and even swapped it out for a Linksys router to see if that was the issue.  That didn't matter.
    All new ethernet cables for the router and mac mini.
    Firewall turned off on OSX.  I have since turned it back on since that didn't change anything.  I do have Little Snitch running too.
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    When you say your machine is near capacity ... you want to keep at least 10% of your hard drive empty for systems usage. Less than that and the system slows way down.
    One thing you can do is to use this tool to see what your largest files are on your system - move data to an external hard drive and delete, or just delete unused/un-needed data: http://software.filefactory.com/Mac/WhatSize_10-3-91.html
    You might also run MacJanitor to run the daily/weekly/monthly scripts, which sometimes don't run automatically: http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html. Some have found using a utility like OnyX can help with disk space. OnyX is available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Note OnyX does the same thing MacJanitor does, plus much more.
    You can use Monolingual to delete the languages you know you'll never use from the operating system - depending on choices it can save over 1GB. Choose language options carefully, as you can muck things up if you rush through it: http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/

  • My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Is there any way to make this instant?

    Hi
    My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Computer takes several minutes before connecting to the Internet

    When I start my computer, it connects to my router but it doesn't connect to the internet. All applications that require an active connection time out. However, all my other devices that are connected to my router can access the internet without any problems
    or delays.
    After several minutes, my computer is suddenly able to connect to the internet and it will go on without any problems unless I restart my computer. Then, everything happens again.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Besides Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, I would like to suggest the following:
    1. Try this Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools double click SERVICES go to "Wired AutoConfig" right click Properties and set the "Startup Type: " to "Automatic" (Assume you use wired connection)
    2. Upgrade the router’s firmware.
    3. Boot the system to Safe Mode with networking and see if the issue persists.
    4. When the connection is not successful, please check if you can access the router’s management webpage.

  • Email can take several minutes to download on the new iPad 64 with WiFi.  I have an iPad 2, wifi, and another new iPad 8, wifi and neither has the time delay to download email.  Please advise.

    Email on the new iPad (64) WiFi version can take up to five minutes to download a message.  Same message on iPad 2 or new iPad (8) with WiFi are instantaneous.  Wondering why and how to correct.

    Try quitting the mail app and then relaunch it and see if the emails download correctly.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.

  • User login takes several minutes

    Please let me know if anyone has experienced this issue or know how we can troubleshoot. We upgraded our BI Apps from 7.9.6 to 7.9.6.2. Following the upgrade, everything works fine but logging in using any user credentials can take several minutes.
    This includes logging into Catalog Manager, logging into OBIEE dashboards using BI Server authentication, and logging in using the MS Office plug-in. It does not take a long time when using external table authentication. This makes me think it's an issue with BI server authentication and the RPD.
    Does anyone know what may cause this problem? Oracle support has no clue so I thought I'd check with the OBIEE gurus on this forum. Thanks.

    Yes I figured out the problem right before I read your message. Thank you.
    For some reason the BI Apps 7.9.6.2 RPD enabled an init block that was not previously used in the out of the box 7.9.6. I just caught that it was enabled so tested out disabling it and it seems to have resolved the problem. The init block name is User Hierarchy Level
    The log files did not show any errors despite increasing the login time by a few minutes.

  • Javascript (in Firefox 3) takes several minutes to start working when computer wakes from sleep, Mac OSX 10.5.8

    Whenever I wake my Mac from sleep, with Firefox having been left running, some parts of Firefox take several minutes to start working again. These include switching between open tabs and any website functionality that uses javascript, eg gmail. This has gone on through many updates of Firefox. If I quit Firefox immediately on waking the Mac and restart it, everything is OK.

    The following worked for me:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
    "Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
    Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
    I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

    I know it doesn't answer your specific question but you could experiment with another AUR helper.  Or just use makepkg.

    Screen shows message "Checking printer. This process might take several minutes."  Message has been there for over an hour and I can't clear it.

    What can be done to get the printer to finish checking?

  • T430s Takes Several Minutes to Shut Down

    Hey all,
    I've got a T430s running Windows 8.1. The machine runs great and boots very fast (probably helps that I bought an SSD); however, when I shut down, it takes several minutes (5+ minutes) to fully power-down. The screen goes black, but USB devices continue to have power and the fan still spins until finally it powers down. The same issue happens when I close the lid and put the machine to sleep.
    Before anyone blames Windows 8.1: This didn't happen right after I upgraded to 8.1. It seemed to start several days after the 8 --> 8.1 upgrade, and I'm not sure what variable changed to cause this.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Nothing in either the System or Application logs that would indicate that there were any problems shutting down. I can see where User32 indicates that the "power off" shutdown has been initiated, then about 5 more log entries in System after that, all of which appear to be normal (i.e. related to services shutting down). The time on these records are all within a few seconds of each-other. I don't see any outliers that are a few minutes out (i.e. things logged several minutes after the shutdown).
    One thing I did just notice is that I see the following Critical notice from Kernel-Power after booting up from shutting down:
    The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
    So it's not even going down cleanly. But I still have no idea what the offending driver/service/app is.

  • Firefox takes several minutes to load

    It takes several minutes for Firefox to load every time I log in. Takes longer if computer is started. Have troubleshot everything I could find with no avail. It's getting old and all that I have read I can't believe Mozilla has not heard and fixed this problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think it was when I updated.

    The question certainly isn't solved. I have no trouble with speed when entering sites - it's just when first trying to enter Mozilla. I tried IE this morning as a test and was into the home page in a few secomds. Moxilla 8 takes about a minute and a half. Version 3.6 loads immediately. I previously tried vers 8 a couple of weeks ago and web sites took a long time to load. This was not a problem after using vers 3.6 for a while and then re-downloading vers 8. I am still frustrated by the slow load up time it takes to get to the home page and believe this may be something the system administrators need to fix..

  • How can I resolve an issue where webpages take several minutes to download? Other computers working on the same home network take not time at all.

    Firefox would not load webpage despite there being an active internet connection to the computer. I know this because firefox loaded on another home computer without any issues. I reset the ip address on the computer in question through cmd.exe and this helped the issue to an extent however it take several minutes to load webpages. I can also advise tha Internet Explorer suffered exactly the same issue and it gave me an error message early when unable to load webpages, that a remote firewall may be blocking the connection. It suggested to configure the firewall to allow connections thru TCP port 80.

    Hello ,
    Can you please post your ADSL stats by following this direct link; http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9116 << it only works if you have a Home Hub 2.0+ and remember to type your password in.
    Also we need a speedtest Use this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 as it will also help you diagnose and give you a list of solutions afterwards, it does incorporate the http://www.speedtester.bt.com one though as well.
    It sounds to me that you have a low profile, with your stats we can see if you've been having disconnections which makes the exchange raise your Noise Margin to try and increase your stabibility, but at a cost of speed, it may have been that your sync speed has recovereed, but not your IP Profile.
    Here are some helpful (I actually did find them helpful!) tips from BT: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35079 up to you whether you want to read those tips, because I did actually find them helpful.  
    Can you comfirm that you have no noise on the line.  Really a test by dialling 17070 and pressing option 2 for the quiet line test should be completed in the Master Socket with no other devices connected to the line.  ANd also do you have a master socket with a split faceplate that you can unscrew the bottom half, if so behind there is a hidden 'test socket', it disconnects all your internal wiring so just to make sure its not a fault inside your premises.
