Vimeo lags the whole firefox application

Hi there
For the past 1 1/2 months, whenever I load up www.vimeo.com and that is before I click and play any of the videos on the site, Firefox immediately lags. It also naturally, lags when I hit play on any of the videos. If I were to just let it be for a few seconds the video will eventually play although it still lags terribly and as soon as I move my mouse cursor (which takes quite some time changing from the finger icon whenever you press on the play button on a vimeo video to the normal windows arrow icon cursor), Firefox lags and a "(not responding)" would appear at the top of my taskbar only for it to be ok after a few seconds of just letting go of my mouse which means I'm not moving my mouse cursor at all. Firefox resumes back normally once I close the vimeo website tab. Essentially, I've to close one of my tabs which loads up the Vimeo website or be on another tab for my Firefox to work normally.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, made sure all my plugins and graphic drivers were updated including flash etc and have tried the solutions found on the mozilla support site such as disabling hardware accelaration under the firefox options menu but no dice, it still gives me a problem. It works fine on youtube but not vimeo. Vimeo works fine both in Chrome and Internet Explorer as well.
And lastly, Firefox these days crashes wayyyyy too often. Like I would be just browsing through any website, be it vimeo or facebook and it'll just crash, I don't know if it's a flash issue but I've updated it as well as reinstalling it numerous times to no avail. Anyway, that's not my main problem, my main grouse is this vimeo on firefox issue so I sincerely hope you can help me out here. Thanks very much for your time !

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Don't redeploy the whole portal application each time we change a portlet

    Hi folks,
    I have around 50 struts portlets in my weblogic portal, following the struts portlet architecture in the documentation, so we have now one ear which ends up that whenever we change any portlet we will have to redeploy the whole portal :( !!!
    I have read about federated portal, but it seems that its great advantage is when your portal wants to consume remote portlets deployed in remote producers, but this is not my case, since all my portlets are local ones, so I think there might be a simpler solution (*like in websphere where we have separate war for each portlet*)
    any suggestions ? would be great if you can provide any resources or links document steps needed to accomplish this
    Thanks a lot :)

  • How can I uninstall the numerous Firefox applications and then download the latest version. I inadvertently installed Firefox applications . Can you please help?

    How can I uninstall Firefox and then download the latest version. I inadvertently downloaded too many and they won't download correctly. I have a Macmini Leopard.

    Hi, Barbara! Is the problem that you have a lot of different versions of Firefox on your launch bar? Or that you have a lot of different versions in a directory somewhere?
    Either way, on the mac, you should be able to simply:
    1. Close all versions of Firefox
    2. Drag the applications to the trash folder, which will remove them from the folder or your dock
    3. Download Firefox with Safari at getfirefox.com
    4. Open the downloaded file by double clicking it
    5. Once that happens you will have a Firefox icon and a folder with an "A" on it
    6. Drag the Firefox icon onto the A, which will install it into your Applications folder
    7. Open your Applications folder and drag it onto your main dock
    8. You should be able to launch it from your dock by clicking on the Firefox icon.
    Thanks!

  • I installed 4.01 and now when I click on a link in the menus or the seach window, the whole firefox browser window jumps

    This happens when I click on most menu links. For example, if I click on Help and select "About Firefox" the entire browser window jumps. The same goes for if I click on the default search box or on the Google Toolbar search box.
    If I click on something out of Firefox, such as my desktop or an open program, it jumps when I click the Firefox tab on my task bar to return to Firefox.
    When I click a shortcut link, such as in bookmarks, it does not do it.

    For those of you who have tried to clear this problem up with virus scans, various malware scanning programs, tdss rootkiller, etc....I have another possibility. I found another thread on this very forum where someone suggested the problem was in the router...specifically, there were manually entered DNS addresses in the router setup. I logged into my router (192.168.1.1) and sure enough, there were DNS addresses loaded and it was setup to use those DNS addresses. I simply clicked on the option to pull the DNS addresses automatically from my ISP, changed the password, and the problem was gone.
    Thanks to cr85tx for the solution!!!

  • When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

    If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 this afternoon and after looking at it I want to get rid of it and go back to Firefox 3.5-3.6. How do I do that? I absolutely hate the whole Firefox 4 setup.

  • When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

    When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • I tried updating to the latest version of Firefox. When I dragged the icon to 'applications', it failed to complete the process. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

  • When I try to put the downloaded firefox into the application folder, it says a newrer version already exists, do you want to replace it. What should I do.

    I have several older versions of Firefox in my application folder. I downloaded 5.0 and when I went to put it into my application folder a pop up window said a NEWER version already is in the folder - do I want to replace it.
    It doesn't make sense. It won't just accept the new version as it previously did with other versions. I just want to know if I should go ahead and replace version.
