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 <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Why does Firefox 8.0 open so SLOW?

I just updated to Firefox 8.0. I had the same problem before updating from 7.0. It takes over 1 minute for firefox to open on my home computer which runs Windows 7. However, my office computer runs XP and opens Firefox 7.0 in less than 10 seconds. Home computer opened fast when firefox was first installed when purchased new 6 mo ago. Firefox was originally installed on both computer at approx. same time. Why does it open so SLOW? I've search several websites for solution, but most posts were several years old. I'm ready to go back to Internet Explorer. 60 seconds is a long time to hold your breathe.

Hope this helps a bit

Where did exported file go? Why does it time out?

Right now, I'm a little more than frustrated with this "tool" and have two issues with it.
First issue: Followed the steps to convert a PDF to Excel. First time, it timed out and I received an error message "Adobe ExportPDF could not successfully export your PDF file (file name).pdf. The conversion of your uploaded PDF timed out." Second time I tried it by turning off the OCR feature...same error message.
I will admit that the PDF file I am trying to convert to Excel is almost 3,000 pages long, but each page does not contain a whole lot of data. What I do with the converted Excel file is run a VBA macro that I developed to pull out the information we need. However, I also tried to convert a smaller PDF file to Excel with the same results...error...timed out.
Second issue: When I finally did get a PDF to convert to Excel and I tried to download it to open it...nothing appeared. Nothing opened in Excel. Export to PDF indicated that the file could not be previewed and I should download it to view it. (Huh???) Then I tried to save it instead of opening it. I can't find where it went!
I volunteered to test this tool for my department of 45 others who would definitely benefit from the use of such a tool...if I can get it to work. So far, things are not looking so good. If I can't get this to work for me as the tester, then I will have to cancel the subscription I just signed on for and look for other conversion software that does work.

I’m on the Adobe site and trying to reply to you. It’s not working.
I had my subscription cancelled on Wednesday. We can’t use this.

Why does firefox give out the wrong address for me, it usually says I'm around LA, I live in Hemet

I've noticed some web sites show my address around LA or up in northern Ca.. I live in Hemet, Ca. I cannot find anywhere where it is not my real address. This is getting very frustrating, when I want to look in my area for deals and it asks if I want to show my location, I say yes and it shows a map of usually around LA somewhere. Today I called a place I ordered something from and they said I ordered it in Pleasanton (where ever that is) How does that work. I've had this problem on another site. When it asks do I want to show my location it shows cities around LA. I'm in the same place for the last 4 years. Please help me. Where is it that it;s getting this info? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sam Scarcello

This is not a Firefox settings, but rather one of these two things:
*Your DNS settings on your computer are configured to show you in LA
*Your router is setup with the incorrect area
In either case, please contact a local IT technician.

Why does firefox grey out certain websites?

Why does firefox have trouble scrolling up and down?

happens in facebook, google+, and even addon screen, and even this screen (the question form i am typing in right now)
when i try to scroll up or down it takes a second or so and then jumps, rather than scrolling

i am curious what autoscrolling does, no difference; the others were checked already
i think it has to do with the memory stack becoming too large, after much browsing, multiple tabs, etc.
it works ok, if it is recently opened with just a few tabs
what really worked for me was:

Why does Firefox 20 stop my appearance add-on from working, even if it is private browsing, so what?

Read the question.

Personas should work just fine in the normal browsing mode, where Private Browsing mode does disable Personas - ''for now''. A Bug has been filed about that issue, and it looks like it will be rectified in Firefox 23 ''(or sooner)''.

Why does my mac book air just shut down when working

When using my mac book air it just shuts down. I usually need to tap several keys to restart. Any help?

If you mean that it just shuts off without any warning, then this might help:

Otherwise it needs to be fixed.

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Why does firefox switch back to bookmarks after I am on a web page ?

This happens every time I go from selecting a bookmark to that page. It just annoying enough for me to yank my hair out, if i had any. Thanks, Max

I have two antivirus programs on my computer. The default windows thing and MalwareBytes (which I perform a full scan with everyday) and I still have the problem.
Hate to be a "problem child" but could anyone post an answer to this problem that isn't something that is obvious that should be done like resetting firefox or check for a virus or mess with the tabs options which I have tried every combination of the options that could be tried.
I mean does anyone else anywhere have this same problem? What I don't understand is that I posted this question two days ago and it doesn't look like anyone else has asked for help with this same issue.
What I really don't understand is why I can't find out anything doing an internet search using "why does Firefox keep returning to the webpage i am currently on when i open a new webpage" and so far no one has suggested something I have already tried.
If Mozilla had some kind of phone number or email contact info then I could probably get this whole thing solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(

Every time Firefox opened

I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

Why does Firefox sometimes ask me if I want to save my tabs when I close, and sometimes it does not? I usually want to save them, so this is a pain. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.5.8

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

I've found Firefox to be very unstable when it comes to choosing a different home page & search engine, frequently ignoring my choices & reverting to the default settings between launches. This also applies to Google & the choice of language if it's different to that of the country the person's in, which is my main gripe with Google, it doesn't detect the language of the operating system but that of the geographical location, forcing one to alter the settings every time, which is extremely annoying! Please do something about all this if possible, thanks.
