Why does Firefox run slower on Wondows 7 64bit?

Ok so I just totally rebuilt my system but instead of reinstalling Windows 7 32bit I decided I wanted to run a 64bit version instead. But when I ran 32bit Firefox was my fastest browser and now that I have a 64bit its in 2nd place to IE9 beta. So was just wondering really if there was a 64bit edition of Firefox that I'm not able to find.

Have you tuned your windows system and gotten rid of indexing and excess processes. See this tuning guide

Why does Lion run slower than Snow Leopard?

I recently loaded Lion on my older MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 4 GB 677 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. and it runs slower and the it seems to be hotter and consume more battery power. Are the configuration option that can reduce the power drain?

You may have some mildly-incompatible third-party software, or you may be doing tasks that demand a lot of RAM and 4 GB is no longer enough on a system that has double the memory requirements of SL. Or could be something else entirely. Take a look at Understanding upgrade nightmares* for more information and some potential solutions.

Why does firefox run so slow?

it takes so long to load pages and sometimes it just freezes

I have been experiencing long "connecting" times recently with FF4 and Win7. This morning was really bad. I tried resetting my router and modem.... much better. I don't think I have a hardware problem, but this seemed to help immensely.

Why does Firefox performance slow down after starting Jack server?

Hello,
I started configuring my audio on my system. So, I want to have jack working (not jack2, to work with wineasio) with best sound quality with all sound routed through jack. When i start jack server with this command and settings:
killall jackd;killall pulseaudio;jackd -R -t 1000 -d alsa -P hw:0,0 -r 48000 -n2 -D
Firefox slows down, opens new pages slow and the scroll down is very very slow. I had this issue with other distros too. I suspect that it has to do with realtime ( which i need for my audio related apps like traktor through wine, ardour, ableton through wine etc) without being sure about it. Any idea why this is happening?

zabrielza wrote:I had this issue with other distros too.
This smells like hardware problem. Do this:
1. Kill pulseaudio, jack, and make sure they are killed
2. Make sure you do not renice anything or apply other such tweaks
3. Run jackd -d alsa
4. Use your system
5. If unsatisfactory, try jackd -d alsa -p 1024 -n 3
6. Use your system
Jack runs with realtime priority by default (no flag required), and we still use the audio group to provide that privilege. I also do not advocate the realtime kernel, but you may try it. Jack not functioning well (i.e. hampering other tasks significantly) on a standard kernel is cause for concern.
You can read/grep your dmesg and systemd journal for suspicious messages. You may try running real-time audio tasks in another operating system with your hardware, and upon success may proceed to debug the problem on Linux, possibly with the help of the alsa developers.
Or better yet, grab a supported semi-pro external audio device if jack is important for you. However, this may not help if the problem is somewhere deeper, e.g. at the hardware interrupt level.

Why is Firefox running slow with version 17?

Hello there I was wondering whether you could please assist me with an issue with version 17.
I have recently updated to firefox 17 and i regret to advise that its running really really slow. I notice several other users have had similar issues as I noticed in the support forums.
I am running Trend Micro Virus software if that means anything to the performance of firefox.
I love using firefox and really would like to get this issue fixed if you can point me in the right direction.

I have the same experience when I updated Firefox to a new version but kept an very old version Adblock Plus, which still appeared to work properly. After update ABP to the new version, my Firefox doesn't stuck any more.
Try to run Firefox without any addon loaded. If FF runs smoothly alone, then there must be some problem with your addons.

Why does Firefox run auto on startup?

I want a browser which can be screend only when I choose to use it. When it runs on startup, it is almost full screen, and gets in the road of email work etc.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started (be cautious with disabling services).
*http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
It is possible that a program tries to open the default browser, so you can try to set another browser as the default browser to see if that has effect.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

Why does firefox time out so often? slows down my working

Why does firefox time out so often. I can be in the middle of something and it just stops. did it as I am trying to write this note. very frustrating! It either times out or freezes. the former happens more often. I can be on the web or on yahoo mail.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Why is firefox running so slow

why is firefox running so slowly?

Can be Add-ons. Start up Fx in Safe Mode to test by holding down the Option key. This will run without any Add-ons. If it's OK like that, disable them all and then add them back one at a time to see which one is responsible.

Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
Shutting down and then restarting works fine.
