Web page downloads take forever since 3.6.12 was installed on my W7Pro x64 why ?

The older version of Firefox prior to 3.6.12 was never a problem ... all web pages downloaded fairly quickly but now since 3.6.12 was installed they take forever to load ... I can go and make a cup of coffee just about whilst firefox thinks about loading its shit !
Does anyone else have this problem and if so have you got a solution to this catastrophy ?...coz its pissing me off !

I don't see any software that would be causing your slowdowns.
The only thing I noticed as that you are both running OS X Mavericks and Adobe Creative Suite with only 4 GBs of RAM.
OS X 10.9 Mavericks, by itself, needs a working minimum of 3-4 GBs of RAM to work quickly,smoothly and efficiently.
This doesn't leave enough RAM for any other third party applications to run. Especially if you are running multiple applications.
Your iMac year and model can take a total of 16 GBs of RAM max.
I advise that you purchase and install another 8 GBs of RAM for a total of 12 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
The only other thing I can offer is that you need to update all of your third party software to OS X Mavericks compatible versions by either using The Mac App Store for updates or go to the third party software developers' websites and look for updates.
Update all of your Internet web browser plugins, too!
It looks as if you have two identical versions of Adobe Flash Player installed. You need to remove/uninstall one of these.
Also, need to look for third party driver updates for any third party devices that maybe connected to your Mac.
Good Luck!

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

When loading ANY web page, it take firefox 3sec to load a blank page. No matter what website I try to load, it just loads a blank page

When loading ANY web page, it take firefox 3sec to load a blank page. I have tried everything, starting firefox in safe mode and dissabling all add ons, turning 6v on and off, turnig proxy on and off, reinstalling firefox, restarting my computer, and reinstalling drivers. I can use another browser to surf the internet but finding one that is as capable to firefox isn't easy.
ps. Firefox did start at one point and then just stoped.
I use Linux Ubuntu 11.04 single boot

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed

jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed. The song list prints all of the line items too close together without space inbetween each song.

I am having the same issue. If I close itunes and open with a new CD already in the drive, it will find it. But once that CD has been imported and ejected, itunes does not find the newly inserted CD and there is no command to tell itunes to "look" in the CD drive

Audio not sync with video using photo booth since os moutain lion was installed

Since OS Moutain Lion was installed my photo booth no longer function well, audio is not sync with video, the sound delay is obvious with the video outut wha can I do to correct this?

I've seen that problem in several threads, both here and in the Mountain Lion forum. I tried to replicate the problem but was unable to do so... so it's not a problem effecting all Macs. Try posting here - in the Mountain Lion forum - and see what you get as a search. There's one specific "More Like This" to the right on this thread but there doesn't seem to have been a solution posted.
Good luck,

How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion? I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks. I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

I have a brand new iMac. It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks. Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load. The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes. If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem. I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze. Then I got the yellow triangle telling me there was a connection problem. My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live. I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi. I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT! I really want to return to Lion. HELP.

The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc? Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem. finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

Web pages in take ages to load in firefox in ubuntu lucid

i have both ubuntu and win xp

Every time Firefox opened

Try a clean install of Firefox on your Linux machine.
# Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
# Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
*Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
3. [www.getfirefox.com Download Firefox] again and install it
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux Installing Firefox in Linux]
If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

A tab popped up wich said Mozzilla Security, the web page seemed to scan my computer, stated it was infested with several viruses, and that I should download protection immediatly. Is this legit?

A new tab opened up on my tool bar labeled Mozilla Security. The website looks like your security warning. But the security button is gray, McAfee doesn't recognize the site, and the web address does not contain Mozilla.com. The web address of this pop up page is: http://update89.modyett.co.be/index.php?Q57hGtS5bW5G7Hr+M0lEZy4rE7T40TcfocDyRAcjpCPVLS/PhAEpv1Hgq9vgx1qxsLunLyiXHnwwL5T3qX/CE0Q/ZRXJp+2mKYsC+kRq
Do I have a virus, as it states, or is this uninvited web page trying to install a virus? What should I do?

Just because it said Mozilla Security in the title bar does not mean it is from Mozilla as Mozilla nor the Firefox browser has ever done such a thing.
This sounds like one of those fake animated scanners which claims it is scanning your computer and then says you are infected with such and such. It then suggests to download something that will be what really infects your computer if using Windows. As long as you did not download and install this whatever.exe then you should be safe. Though you may want to scan your computer with whatever antivirus software you have with updated definitions just to be safer.
This sort of thing is even more obvious on being fake when Linux and Mac users can encounter these pages.

Why do complete web pages download as a file and a folder on macs as opposed to the single file downloads in safari?

Is it necessary to have both a folder full of files and a individual file appear whenever I want to download a complete web page in firefox. This is not the case in safari. It is inconvenient to have to keep two icons for every web page, and if I put the file icon into the folder of other files that download with each web page it is not a simple click of an icon to open the page offline. I have to go into the folder and find the file icon. Am I missing some setting to make this work as easily in firefox as it does in safari? Thanks.

Safari use webarchive format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webarchive
Firefox doesn't include a similar feature, but a feature like that can be added via either the MAF extension or the UnMHT extension. <br />

IPhone 3.0 download takes forever

I've been trying to download the new 3.0 upgrade for my IPhone but it takes forever to back up my files. The process is extremely slow and I get half way through it and then get a message stating that my phone disconnected. Can someone help me with this?

You are free to work with any released SDK.
Beta/unreleased SDKs are for review and use by committed developers so that Apple can control their exposure as they are prepared for the general public.
Paying the fee to register as a developer brings additional benefits, one of which is access to pre-release software. A recent pre-release of iTunes was part of this program as well, again, providing a controlled environment that brings not only a first-look, but associated risks common to pre-release products. It isn't hard to imagine a free-for-all scenario leading to issues that would sidetrack an otherwise organized process.
if i plan to sell it i pay them an additional 30% of my income!?
You are also of course free to establish your own mobile platform, OS, app store, sales, marketing, development, support and distribution network where you can keep 100% as you like...after expenses, of course, whatever those may be

Download takes forever

It started 3 weeks ago. Downloading music from iTunes takes forever. Just 2 songs took almost 8 minutes. When I tried to listen to song samples before I buy them, the opening URL pop up box comes out with a message: "rebuffering stream" making the samples hard to listen.... how can this be fix?

I notice the same thing if I download a few songs simultaneously, that it takes longer. It is due to my DSL download speed being slower (faster DSL speed is not available in my area at the moment )
As far as the rebuffering issue, go into iTunes>Edit>Preferences and under the Store tab, check the box next to "Load complete preview before playing". This will load the entire preview and then start playback. I set mine this way because of my slower DSL connection to make it possible to listen to the entire preview without pauses for rebuffering.

Firefox on linux mint won't load pages or takes forever to do so

Installed Linux Mint on my laptop. Came with Firefox. For a day or so it loaded pages quickly. Now it either takes forever or doesn't load them at all. I have a wireless connection with 5 bars (sitting within 3 feet of the N wireless router.) What's up? Tried running in safe mode. Made no difference. URL below is my home page but Firefox won't load or is sssssslow to load any page.

Mp3 as background audio on web page does not play in ff 3.6.22 It does play in IE why?

I am building a web page. When I was editing the page and clicked on browser review, the music I was playing in the background played in ff 3.6.22 and in IE 7. When I uploaded the page to the web for testing, the background music played in IE7 but not ff 3.6.22.
The url for the test page is [http://dj-group.org/efm/saints.html testpage] http://dj-group.org/efm/saints.html
In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated my plugins, all but one successfully. Java would not install because an error message said there was a syntax error. (Since I ran the installer from the Firefox download screen and not through the command line, I tried to contact Java only to find out that the only way I can get help is to pay $1/minute. This is ridiculous.)
The test page still works in IE but not ff
Please help

Somehow in the process of updating my plugins, Windows Media got deleted. I reinstalled Windows Media and it's ok.
But I would like to know what to do about the Java

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
