Updated firefox to 9.0.1 websites are now slow

I updated to the new firefox and now everytime I go to any website, it is slow to get there. I have no add on's or anything like that. Sometimes it takes 3-4 clicks on the url to get it to go. Help?

Right-click on the Menu Bar ''(top toolbar)'' in a blank section to the right-side and then click on the Menu Bar in that contextual menu to deselect the Menu Bar.

Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
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.

Used windows update, installed 8 updates, FireFox does not display some websites and images correctly.

Hello,
Windows update installed 8 updates to my computer and now several websites are not displaying images or text correctly. Some forum looks like they were loaded in an extreme basic mode, another forum main page looks fine but sub forums are loaded in in the same basic looking mode, another forum only displayed 1 user avatar out of hundreds.
Chat/IRC clients wont load.
Everything works when I used IE.
I tried to follow the help thingies but was led to a dead link.

Anybody have any ideas?

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

Ever since last Fri's update Firefox keeps crashing on most websites I visit. I've had no response to all the crash reports.

I'm operating a new laptop using Windows 7. Ever since the update last Fri, Firefox keeps crashing on most websites I visit. It's very frustrating. I've browsed to folder C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components but there is no file nsBrowserOpt.dll.

Mozilla do not respond to crash reports that have been submitted. they are used to help analyze the causes of the crashing in order to make Firefox more stable.
Can you post some of the recent crash report IDs as shown in the [[Firefox crashes]] article, that may help somebody identify the cause of your crashes.

Updated Firefox today-can't get Facebook games now!

Was asked to update Firefox today. After I update I was informed that it was was not compatible with Java and something else. I didnt press finish as I use Java. Now cant seem to get Facebook games. It suggests it could be Firefox problem.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Location+bar+autocomplete
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My internet bank web site that I have used for years will not load anymore this weekend. Most other web sites I use will load but not all. Also, some that load are now slow.

Could I have damage from a virus? My anti virus program recently found and eliminated an infection; and no further infection is turning up in scans. However, some files have been placed in the safe virus lockup chest. None appear to be necessary files for operation, but I am not sure.

Please update Firefox to the latest Firefox 9.0.1 version via "Help > About Firefox" or "Help > Check for Updates"

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.

Nov 6 - Firefox updated when I opened my browser - bookmarks are now *bigger*, my list of bookmarks is more spread out. Hate it. Help.

I have my bookmarks toolbar open at all times to the left of my browser window. After this morning's updates, the bookmark icons seem bigger, the list is more spread out. Now bookmarks that were visible 'before', I have to scroll to see, because they're more spread out and take up more space.
Do not like. Any way to reset them so they're small again? To 'compact' the list, as it were?
Thanks!

Hmm... thanks for the feedback. It sounds like something is wrong. I don't think there were any changes to the bookmarks sidebar in the v25 update.
Could you open Firefox in Safe Mode to check if the font size is still wrong?
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem does not appear in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions in the article to identify the setting or Add-on that is causing the issue.
If the problem does appear in Safe Mode then I suggest that you do a Firefox Reset. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your history and bookmarks will be saved but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
Let me know if that fixes it.

My websites are very slow to load since the update

Is anyone else having slow uploading of pages

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

64-bit Nightly v29 and Firefox v26 under Win7 64-bit are so slow for streaming, achieving only 4% of BW otherwise achieved by the sam firefox under Win7 32-bit.

Under my Window 7 64-bit OS, I've installed both Nightly Build v28 and v29 to perform "internet speed test" and each time, I can only achieve something < 2 mbps for my home Wi-Fi, gateway router which is about >56 Mbps. The only working Nightly version was v23 that could achieve close to >52 mbps. But once I update v23 to higher version, all the normal high speeds I could achieve at Nightly v23 are gone. The same issue plagued also firefox v26 under Win 7 64-bit.
For clarification, this is not true under Win 7 32-bit OS - the same firefox v26 works fine to achieve the raw BW speed close to and >56 mbps. WHy not in 64-bit OS seems to be the main question?
What's going on? I greatly appreciate you looking into and helping me out on this dilemma. Thanks!
Sincerely
Shao Ma

hello Shao Ma, when you are using speedtest.net or a similar flash-based site to measure your connection speed then it might be an issue with the protected mode that [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html adobe has introduced] for its flash plugin for firefox. some old versions of f-secure or trusteer rapport are known to cause such slowdowns together with flash, or it might be something similar on your system that is interfering (maybe security software that is blocking/sandboxing the container used for the protected mode, etc...).
as a workaround you could try [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] & see if this makes a difference.
in case you'd like to troubleshoot the issue further, it would be best to contact adobe's support & file a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com (choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product & "Browser Integration" as the product area), since they will have a better understanding of the internals of flash protected mode & therefore may know what else might be at the root of the problem you were seeing.

Update to IOS 6 and Voice Memos are now gone.

My daughter has an old iPhone 3GS without a phone plan that she uses as an iPod. Tonight, she updated it to IOS 6 without telling me, which means it wasn't backed up prior to the update. Now, all her Voice Memos are gone, and she hasn't synced it with iTunes since last summer - assuming that the Voice Memos were going to iCloud.
A quick Google search tells me that Voice Memos aren't backed up to iCloud. Is it possible that these Voice Memos exist somewhere on the phone that we can recover?
If not, she has learned a hard lesson about doing major updates like this. I haven't updated my phone yet because I want to be sure everything is backed up first.
Thanks,
Marie

I am having the same issue. Updated to ios6 via the phone (iphone 4) and now all of my voice memos are missing. I have the majority backed up somewhat recently to itunes, but I'm baffled as to why all of them would go away on the phone after the update?

I just upgraded to the latest version of Nightly and several websites are now inaccessable or extemely slow, what should I do?

I have been using waterfox for the last year or so and decided to upgrade. I found that Nightly was a supported version for 64-bit systems, so I downloaded and installed it. Well, now several websites I accessed with waterfox do not work correctly or at all with nightly. For example: When I log into one of my cPanel accounts (actually most of them) and try to edit websites, I get no response. If I switch to IE or Chrome (which I would rather not) I can use them just fine. Also, several news websites or even social sites do not completely load and are very sluggish. I've cleared the cache and did the general housekeeping to clean stuff out but it still won't work right. What should I do? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Unstable means it can vary in stability day by day as it can be crash prone to being stable. Features can be a work in progress for a while. The May 24 Nighty build was crash prone for a lot of testers for example.

I updated Firefox to version 29.0.1 and now it won't let me set a home page.

When I open Firefox, it opens to the Trovi search page, which I don't want. I tried setting the home page by opening the site that I want and dragging its tab to the Home icon, but it didn't change the home page. I also cannot change the default search engine. Selecting a different search engine in the drop-down box does nothing.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also,
'''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Some websites are loading slow

Has anyone experienced slow loading of certain websites since late this afternoon, in particular youtube and BT Yahoo mail? These have been slow loading and sometimes wont open at all. However it seems fine now.

AFTER UPGRADING TO LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX( FOR MAC) ALL WEB SITES ARE VERY SLOW TO LOAD. I HAVE NO PROBLE WITH SAFARI. WHAT DO I DO?

confirmed e-mail [email protected]

Yours is the first complaint about Firefox on 10.8 I've seen, so I'm inclined to think it's a issue with your machine, or a bad download/update or something.
Run through this list of fixes and see what works.
