Upgraded to 7.0.1, Firefox is still extremely laggy. How do I fix this? Can I fix this?
I upgraded to 7.0.1 in hopes that the whole "lagging like hell" thing would be fixed. It's not. I'm running FF in Safe-Mode as we speak and it's STILL lagging and freezing just as badly as before. I'm very disappointed. How am I to fix this problem, if it's fixable at all? I've scanned for viruses so I know it's not my computer.

Open Firefox -> Go to View -> Toolbars -> Chechmark on "Navigation Toolbar"

my imessages are being sent on multiple phones and i deleted the icloud account on the other phone but the messages still go through how do I stop this?
Do you think deleting the message off the phone would make a difference?If you don't enter an e-mail address, it just uses SMS and MMS. iMessages (sent over the data connection instead of using your SMS messaging plan) require an e-mail address registered on the device.
There is no requirement that you activate it. -

Firefox keeps crashing upon starting, how do I stop this?
My PC crashed some days ago, after rebooting firefox was no longer working. It does start up, but doesn't allow me to do anything and after a few seconds it crashes and shows the error report, often this already happens the second I try to fire up firefox. I have tried rebooting my PC several times thinking this was the issue. After the problems continued I have uninstalled firefox, making sure no traces of firefox were left anywhere for old data to be around and it spiraling into the same error, I have tried installing an older version of firefox but it still crashes upon opening. It opens 2 tabs of which 1 will probably be the congratulations you have succesfully installed firefox and the other being the home page, however I can't confirm this as they don't load. The same goes for the TOR browser which works on a FF basis. I don't know what could fix the issue and hope for some answers that will solve the issue.
Cheers and thanks in advance.It looks like you may me having an issue from what I could intially see with an add-on or extension which is causing the crash. Restart FF in safe mode to see if this fixes the issue

HP SmartPass not working with Firefox Version 11.0. How do I fix this?
I upgraded to Firefox 11.0 and now my HP Smartpass is not working. How do I fix this? I have a HP Pavilion dr7. Thanks for helping
Just to clarify. I am talking about the fingerprint scanner. I swipe my finger on it and it brings up the password on the website.hello, this crash is related to your graphics hardware & a recent windows update. please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.
for some background on that issue you can also refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812683 bug #812683] -
I copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and the event windows show up black.
The photos are still there once I click on an event but they don't show in the window.
My next step is to delete the iPhoto library from the internal memory to free some memmory space but I don't want to do this until I see that the library works fine on the external hard drive.
How do I fix that?Hold down the "option" + "command" keys and launch iPhoto.

Facebook freezes when trying to open with firefox but not other browsers, how do I fix this?
I have two users on my pc. The main user has no problem accessing facebook using his windows account and firefox browser. The second user, however all of a sudden, cannot access facebook with his windows account and firefox browser. Firefox freezes and says not responding. Other browsers, however work. I have loaded and run a windows registry repair which did not fix the problem. I have also run my virus scanning software. I cannot find an answer to this issue. Can someone please help?

Firefox is using incorrect font, how do i fix it when i cant read even the dialog boxes
i cannot paste a screen shot here. firefox is is using small boxes instead of text, that may be ascii codes.
So Firefox worked normally before the malware cleanup? You might want to reinstall Firefox (without removing the current version) and see whether that corrects it.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download Firefox 5 from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
Close Firefox and run the installer. Does that fix it?
If not, you might need to create a new Firefox profile to work around some bad settings or corruption.
You can start the profile manager using the method described in this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
After creating the new profile, if Firefox is working again, you can move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Any luck? -
The following addons appear to have been permanently corrupted by upgrading to firefox beta 5:
Too Many Tabs (TMT)
Session Manager
Tab Utilities
I had others, but have been disabled since before the upgrade.
The problems:
I can't scroll through either webpages or through tabs (that may be an addon feature), the display looks way off, like the resolution inside the window is smaller (not sure how to describe), the options window from the tools menu gave a blank firefox brown window w/ OK/Cancel buttons, the addons/extension window became a tab I couldn't close, and clicking on the Feedback under Help menu did nothing - I had to go to Help>Restart w/ addons disabled to make it work.
I'm running:
Win XP
4gb RAM
3.2ghz dual core
ATI 4200 integrated graphics
Uptime = ~6.5hrs
What I did:
I installed latest beta (today). Problems arose (see details). I uninstalled beta. Installed previous beta. Problems continued. Uninstalled beta. Problems continued. Uninstalled version 4. Reinstalled and problems continued.It sounds to me like there are two separate processes being intertwined above:
1. Setting up your daughter's MacBook with identifying info; e.g., Apple ID for the user account on that machine.
2. Transferring the iTunes library (a very different operation).
Have you used Apple's Migration Assistant to move your daughter's information from her old machine to the MacBook? That would have avoided this whole issue.
If not, either start the process over and use Migration Assistant, or try to more carefully and precisely define exactly what you did to accomplish this transition. You said, for example, "there was already an Apple ID assigned to this computer." That statement almost certainly did not originate with iTunes. -
I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you
Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

The Google window that is opening is not your typical Google homepage. It is specialized by topic.... i.e. Google Cars, Google Real Estate, Google Decor, etc. I don't know why these windows are opening up when I surf the net or even if they're authentically Google.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
When I am done with my computer I close the lid which sends it into hibernation. Usually I have 2-3 windows open with 3-10 tabs each. There has never been a problem until I upgraded to version 22. Now whenever I start the computer the windows will come up but the cursor cannot open or change anything. The task manager actually says the program is running, but it remains completely inaccesible until I completely restart, and then have to restore previous session.
I tried a system restore to the version 21, but it did not correct the problem. It still hangs up everytime. I am having to go to the Chrome browser to get a working browser. I just did as this site suggested and went to the default. Did not help either.
My OS is Windows 7 if that matters.Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.
