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

If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

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.

When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying

Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

Google, Facebook etc take ages to load on Safari (and Firefox)

There have been a few threads on this issue...but none seem to have a solution that works for us.
We have two laptops (MacBook (MB) and MacBook Pro (MBP)) using an airport wireless. The MP has all of a sudden decided that google and facebook will not load up straight away like they have always done in the past...they take ages to load up (we are talking "go get a coffee..and read the newspaper" times). Other websites just fire up as fast as ever. All sites fire up super fast on the MBP.
What we have tried:
1. Rebooted the modem, wireless router and computers
2. Reset Safari, deleted and reinstalled Firefox 4.0.1. Wiped out all caches , cookies etc
3. Restored entire computer from time tunnel from a month ago...when life was good!
4.. Changed/added DNS numbers to airport (via airport utilities) and change the airport settings (using openDNS numbers).
5. Flushed the DNS resolver caches...
Still no good....
What are we missing? What can the MB have to cause the issue that the MPB does not?
MB is on OSX 10.5.8
MBP is on OSX 10.6.7
Please help...my wife uses the MB and is angry that her beloved Facebook and Google are just not working

Ok.. from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If it's not Extensions... try troubleshooting Safari third party add ons.
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

I have been experiencing connection issues with loading web pages. It's as if the web pages do not want to load all the way and some times not at all. This has happen with all three of my computers with the same browsers.

There are times when web pages do not want to load fully and other times not at all. They just continue to open up with a blank screen. My routers light flash during this process and then they stop as if no connection is being made. I do know for sure it is not my ISP or internet explorer browser.
Thank you,
David [email protected]

I continue to have this problem and have tried all recommendations so far...I notice also when I click on a web site on the taps side of browser once it starts loading however it does not connect, web site comes up just blank while it continues to search. The same thing happens while in an email program with clicking in the email link and page pops up and continues to search for the web site. You have to reload over and over again until it finally locates it and then opens. Should I uninstall the Firefox browser and install again.....?

AI CC and CC 2014 Freeze at startup or it takes ages to load

Since the last update (which I of course applied as a modest designer) AI CC takes ages to load or doesn't load at all after almost 6 minutes of showing "Initializing...." screen. I have a DELL Laptop with Core i7 processor and 8 Gigs of RAM plus I run Windows 7 from a SSD disk. Prior to this fantastic update Illustrator ran fine. Is there something I can do or to revert back to previous, not-that-advanced version?
Any help will be appreciated.

TS3474 I play music but it takes ages to load and I only have 250MB of data for music

When I use my iPod I have 3.3GB left memory on a 8GB iPod touch 4th generation and when I play my music it always takes ages to load. I have deleted loads of stuff and I only have 250MB of music but it still takes ages. Why does this happen?

What do you mean by: "it always takes ages to load"?
Withut more specific information all I can suggest is the standard fixes:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Check your internet speed first and what your ISP is suppose to provide.

Most Cable companies, for example, has a 15Mbps for downloads and 2Mbps for uploads.

Hi!
I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

How to print any web page to PDF in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?

Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is either incomplete PDF or the print progress stops at some point and Firefox is stuck. For example the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version of Firefox newer than 8. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results as well as other PDF generating tools such as "FreePDF XP" and "Bullzip". Also the same web page on this same machine does print from within Internet Explorer. However using Internet Explorer is not a solution for our needs.
Thank you for looking into this.

Graphics driver support seems to be a difficult area to get right...
I'd just be guessing as to any specific differences between Fx8 and Fx17 that affect the Adobe Acrobat plugin.
