Why 2.38 vs 20.24 mbps down load in firefox vs safari?

Comcast replaced connectors and a short cable and before leaving tested the 'speed'
Showed a 12 mb connection service from wherever he tested it.
Checking http://www.speedtest.net/ shows an ENORMOUS difference in 'speed' between Safari and Firefox
Safari runs 20-24 mbps DOWN
FireFox runs 3.33- 5.10 mbps Down
Uploads range closer FF 2.76 and Safari 2.05
Why such a difference? FF version 3.6.24; and Safari 4,1,3
Using Tiger 10.4.11 so cannot use 'Chrome'.

If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)

Why can't I check out and down load LR5? Are the servers overwhelmed? Very frustrating!!!!!!!

I had the same problem yesterday trying to upgrade 4 to 5 - I ended up doing the upgrade over the telephone, where the "nice lady" said they were having a few server problems. I say "nice" but she downright annoyed me by trying every angle she could think of to flog me a full cloud subscription

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. 
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files

I can't get on my husbands work place to get his pay stub.It says not supported by web Dynpro.I could before i down loaded updated firefox.How do i get it again?

This started after i down loaded new firefox.last week.I didn't have any problem before that.It won't bring it up period.It just says your browser not supported by web Dynpro.

Web Dynpro hasn't updated their app to work with Firefox 4.0.x yet I'm afraid.
You'll have to consider downgrading to the previous secure version if you can't live without it. If that's what you want to do, follow these steps. 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

Why do apps take so long to down load on an iPad air?

Why do apps take so long to down ipad on an iPad air? Talking 24 hours!

1. It depends on the speed of your internet.
2. How much data in the app.

Why when i have been trying to down load apps it come up that i have a invaled address

my iphone wont download apps the past few days it says I have an invaled home address I check it and it all looks good

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing Flash Player, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

MBP slower loading web pages with Safari

Is there a 'learning' period for Safari on the MBP (2.0 dual-1G ram). The pages seem to be much slower than my PBG4. The Aple sight is painfully slow.
Otheer activities seem about the same or just a slight bit faster to open.

The only "break in" period isn't related to Safari, but when Spotlight is indexing it may slow things down a bit for an hour or two after you first boot up or xfer a bunch of files to the machine.
Other than that, Safari should run super fast. Check a couple of things:
1) Make sure you didn't install any non-universal plug-ins.
2) Choose "Get Info" for Safari and make sure "Open using Rosetta" is NOT checked.
3) Empty the cache.
4) Try resetting Safari.

Why will Kerberos enabled SSRS instances will not load in Firefox

We have 10 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 SP1) instances. 6 are using Kerberos while the others are using NTLM. Firefox will load Report Manager under NTLM, but not with Kerberos. Until last week Firefox would load both, but a recent security update from FF caused the conflict. If I change an instance using Kerberos to NTLM, FF will load Report Manager. Once I revert back, I see either a blank page or an error:
XML Parsing Error: no elemet found
Location: http://<domain name>/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 1:
This started impacting all users of Firefox last week with our company. We had no issues loading RS under Kerberos before this, and we would like to know how to resolve the conflict. Please advise.

The pictures load OK for me, with twitpic on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Why did a ton of adware come with your Firefox down load for your browser? It corrupted my computer and crashed it several times.

I down loaded firefox from your site and all of a sudden all this adware popped up on my computer. I thought I visited a bad site for a minute and tried figuring it out from there. I was wrong. It came with your down load for firefox. Did you intentionally add that to your browser? Or was your site hacked? Adware Linksy was what I found and it went ape on my computer too. I used to use Firefox because I loved the versatility of it. Now I have to use Chrome. I am not happy. Firefox was what I recommended to everyone and recently everyone I know has been getting the same issues.
Is there a reason for all this?

Are you sure you downloaded Firefox from the official link?
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
The download link there should not be loaded with adware. If you do not download from the official site, some sites will package Firefox with PUP (potentially unwanted programs). In these situations you should uninstall applications that look suspicious, including Firefox, and run a virus scan after removing them. Then download Firefox again from the link above (or if you prefer a different localization of Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/)
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I can't here music i down loaded to my computer

why can't i here music i down loaded to my computer? 2 why want my computer tune up?

OK, this is correct. I guess you've set up your aliases in Mail as described in Mail Help's Using .Mac email aliases article. Have you also read the Adding multiple email alias addresses to an account article?
For Mail to let you use the Account popup menu while composing a message, you need to have either more than one mail account or more than one address (aliases) in the Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Email Address field.
It seems, however, that setting up the aliases for a .Mac account in Mail doesn't always work as expected, and the aliases don't appear in the Email Address field for some reason. Is that what happens in your case? I don't have a .Mac account, so I cannot test this myself.
