Whenever i open a youtube video, firefox goes really slow and often stop working. Any suggestions?
I have installed the plugin extension, but still whenever a youtube video is on firefox is like drop dead.
Stop working and lag awfully.
There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
You might also consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

On a Mac Book pro - running 10.6.8
Firefox was fine until the last couple of updates that happened without my consent (?).
Suddenly there were weird errors and crashes of Flash
and slow loading pages. Now it's gone into rubbish mode where
the beach ball spins at the slightest fast type or double-click and then all i can do is force quit.
It's as if it can't cope with anything anymore.
How do i uninstall and keep my bookmarks etc and re-install an earlier version of it as it was before it got updated?
ThanksHey Thanks for the link thing!
So i had tried it in safe mode, and thought that it was still in SMode but then realized that that stopped once i had closed it and reopened in aft/eve/ last night and started up again today, also. So i just tried it again in safe mode and it seems to not be doing it...but then it's so random anyway. But if i'm in safe mode like this there is no toolbar but i guess that's cool if that is what is making it sluggy and beach ball-y. But how do i stay in safe mode all the time? And if it is only in safe mode then does that mean i can't have the 3 addons i use - (java, QT, Flash- all the other vid things like divx etc are 'disabled' ) I thought those add ons were necessary to play/read things on the net?? Forgive my ignorance in this matter. But saying that, when it was going wrong, and i was clicking on audio links sometimes in the 'blank white page scenario' a popup would come and tell me that i would need ' QuickTime to play this track' and i would click 'continue' and it would link me to Apple to get QT...but i already have QT installed in my MBPro so i thought that was a bit weird...! when i just tried it now in safe mode it went straight to the audio link white page with player in the middle and played the track. But then as i said, it was a bit random before so i don't know if this was just a time when it worked...
Anyway, what do you think about my questions on operating in safe mode...should i have to do that?! i'll stay in Safemode until i hear back from you and see how well it performs.
Thanks for your help. -
Please assist me in overcoming this problem.
Hi, this seems like a very annoying problem. Unfortunatly, the community will need some more information to help assist you with this problem. Such as:
1) What programs? Are they resource intensive? I mean, if you are trying to run 4 video games or programs like photoshop and 3dsmax forget about it. And if you have 4 programs ALL attempting to write large amounts to the disk it will yeild a similar result. Usually large amounts of I/O are murder on PC's (by which I mean personal computers...), and of course if you don't have enough RAM its a moot point.
2) What are your specs? How much RAM do you have? What is the size of your virtual memory (page file)?
3) Have you cleared the various caches mac's have? I can't direct you to any good third party programs for mac's but I am sure there is a simple cache cleaner within your system. -

Hi...
How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space. -
Hi There, I have just started using ps and lr today after downloading it. It is going really slow and taking a long to do one thing.
I us a Mac and I keep getting the spinning rainbow ball. I also had an error come up saying 3D features require a minimum of 512mb of vRAM. PS has detected less than that on your system. Updating the diver of your graphics card may resolve the issue. ...
Then it sends me a link to adobe..
What does this mean? Is this causing the slowness? I don't think I am using anything to do with 3D..

When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.
I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy... -
Newest version of firefox, and flash. Tried clearing cache. Been having this problem for a year or more.
No mater what I do, if I open a youtube video in firefox, my pc crashes. Black screen and I have to hit the manual reset button. No error report to send, no idea why this happens. It does not do it when using chrome.
Really irritating and going to cause me to give up on using firefox if I cannot find a solution soon.You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Can you check the Windows event log to see if that gives any clues about the Windows crashes if you get a BSOD? -
I am using Firefox 3.6.13. When i open a youtube video in firefox it immediately shows that whole video is streamed (the progress bar shows red instead of grey). But the whole video is yet to be streamed. The information of how much is streamed becomes unavailable.
Listing 2 of the problems encountered because of this
1. Unable to estimate how much time I have to wait before the video is fully streamed
2. Cannot go forward or backward in the video in the streamed part.
(This problem does not occur in IE. I tried the link given below)I think once I did not even see the page in my history

Can't install open office; youtube videos + green screen; using call HP Tech Support fails
Can't install open office; youtube videos are green screen (audio ok); using call HP Tech Support fails (no reason given)
1) Can't turn McAfee Livesafe off, and think it's what's keeping me from installing Open Office. It downloads but can't install.
2) At work on wireless guest, youtube looks fine. At home on ethernet through DISH satellite, it's green screen. This is not he case with my older HP laptop connected to the same ethernet cable.
3) Why is HP tech support rejecting me, after I type everything in? If I ca't use it, don't make it an option!!!! The forums were choice #2, so here I am ... make me proud ...
Thanks everyone!!!!An alternative to OpenOffice would be KingsSoft Office, it performs better and still Free:
http://www.kingsoftstore.com/
McAfee products are problematic on some systems and suggest you uninstall it using their removal too then reboot:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
Build in Windows Defender should reactivate after the reinstall. As an antivirus product it is adequate as long as you practice safe surfing habits.
Windows key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin) and type: sfc /scannow
Let me know if it does not fix all or any corrupt system files.
Reboot and now try your Youtube.
I do not have an answer to what transpired between you and HP Support but only to say you should come here first.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations. -

My iphone 3g is getting really slow. I done full restore ,deleted most apps . Not many photos in my album. i have no videos on my iphone. When taking photo with my iphone it takes ages for camera to open up. Very slow to take photo. Any suggestions? Please help !!!!
Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file. An error appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Why wouldn't it just open on my default browser? Thanks for the help!
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.
