Why does it take two or three minutes for my screens to load?

Starting a couple of weeks ago when I click on a new link it can take two or three minutes to load the page. It will eventually load the page but the lag is ridiculous. I also noticed that as soon as I close the page that isn't opening I do see that page for a second or two before it reverts back to the original page, and when I click on the same link again, it takes me there immediately.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

    Why does it take so much longer for YouTube videos to load on my 1st gen. iPad then on my iPod touch or my laptop?

    This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

  • Why does it take 4 or 5 minutes for new mail to show up after I open Thunderbird?

    When I initially open my Thunderbird mail program, no new mail appears until the program has been open for 4 or 5 minutes. My computer at work shows new email almost immediately after opening the program. I wish I could figure out what the difference is. I formerly used Outlook Express (with XP) before I got this new computer with Windows 7. Same computer and os at work. I would appreciate any help you could give me with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Different anti virus at work? Different Thunderbird versions?

  • Why does iMessage take longer to send messages for certain conversations?

    iMessage can take around 15-20 minutes to send messages to certain conversations, but is extremely fast for others (I've noticed that it's generally faster for relatively newer conversations) off of my phone (iPhone 4S running iOS 8). iMessages for the same conversations send infinitely faster off of my macbook pro.
    It shouldn't be a wifi/data/network issue because messages sent for different conversations off of the same network take different times to send.

    I would delete the contact and then have the other person(s) send you a Mesage and then readd them as a contact.

  • After minimizing it takes up to 5 seconds for home screen to load

    Galaxy S3, Android 4.3: After minimizing, it takes up to 5 seconds for the home screen to load. The screen is empty, without icons or widgets (not black - just completely empty). Seems to be Firefox specific: Chrome and other applications are not affected by this. Highly annoying. Can this be fixed?

    I have an HTC Gingerbread device, and it has a problem with several different programs that if you use the Back button to exit Firefox and some other apps to the home screen, it crashes (white screen with HTC logo) and needs several seconds to rebuild. In my case, this seems to start at some point in a session, and then continues until I restart the device.
    So I don't think this is necessarily specific to your build of Android or the Samsung shell. I'm not sure what causes it. Since you have a popular device, you might check a forum like the following to see whether anyone has more insight there:

  • Why does it take 2 or 3 minutes to access a url from a hyperlink in a pdf document?

    With either Adobe Reader locally or the plug-in on a website, it takes a huge amount of time for a url called by a hyperlink in a pdf document to appear in a browser window. Can anyone explain why this happens and, hopefully, how to fix it?

    Yes, sorry about that. I am using Win XP Pro and Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and plug-in 11.0.07.79. The browser is Firefox 35.0.01. The problem goes away if I disable the Adobe plug-in and use the native Firefox pdf handler. The same problem also occurs in Safari for Windows.
    During the delay between clicking the hyperlink and the target url's being displayed, the "not responding" error appears for the browser in question.
    This happens on both my desktop machine and my portable (also running WinXP; the Adobe plug-in is 11.0.8.4)

  • Why does it take two clicks to open an email now instead of one click it used to take?

    Heretofore, it took only one click to open an email in the inbox and now it takes 2 clicks. How do you get back to one click? Is there a setting or option for this?

    The standard has always been one click to show the message in the Message Pane and two clicks to open a message in a tab or window.
    If you do not have the Message Pane turned on press F8.

  • Why does it take so long to check for updates?

    I have my setting to not auto download because of my limited satellite IP. But when I go to check the App store for updates it just sits there spinning apparently using up my download allowance. I am beginning to think Apples don't belong on Satellites.
    MacPro with upgraded Mountain Lion

    I have machines on both platforms and am well aware of amount of updates. What I was wondering about is an issue I have when trying to check for updates, the length of time it takes to connect with the update server. I realize though it may be a "satellite" problem not experienced by DSL users.
    But I am surprised that Apple doesn't provide an "inhouse" download scheduler given the size of many of their downloads (considerably larger than the average MS download)

  • Why does it take a very long time for shows to post to VOD?

    A lot of programs say they will be on demand the following day. This isn't true. Seems you have to wait a week or longer for shows to post. Why? Comcast would usually be by 4:00 PM the following day. When you miss something and want to catch up on it you  have to wait, and then the next show is already being shown by the station. It's a pain. I know I can get a DVR but that costs more $$$. If you advertise your VOD to be current then be current.

    Since the Verizon Forums are for users to help other users, I doubt you will get any definitive answer. We customers simply do not have access to any information on how Verizon handles VOD.

  • Why does it take up to 24 hours for an activation to occur after purchasing software?

    I need my application for an urgent project.

    Hi CHelder,
    Please let me know which software did you purchase?
    And did you purchase it online or from a reseller? Is it an EDU i.e. Student and Teacher edition software that you bought?
    If it's a retail purchase online from Adobe site then as soon as the Order is processed you will get a link to download alongwith the serial number to your email.The same will be reflected in yor Adobe account.
    Upon entering the serial number the software activates immediately.
    The same holds for a boxed product if bought from a reseller. The serial number is located at the back of the case which you can use to activate the software.
    In case of the EDU version software, the serial number is provided upon successful validation of the uploaded Proof of Eligibility documents and this process might take 24 to 48 hours to process.

  • What Do I do When it Takes More Than 10 Minutes for my GMail to Load in Mail? Help!

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro I have been having terrible problems with my Mail. Sometimes it hangs, not loading anything - Inbox, Trash, etc are all empty. Sometimes I have to check my Gmail on their webpage because the messages take so long to reach Mail.
    Right now it is almost 10 minutes and STILL no new mail in my Inbox although I have checked several times. I know I have some mail because I checked on my Gmail webpage.
    What should I do? Should I Trash my Gmail account on Mail and start all over again? How do I save my messages and folders of messages?
    This is a drag.
    Not only am I having trouble with Mail since I got Mavericks, I can't use Safari anymore because it is too sluggish and either freezes or crashes constantly. What a bunch of junk.
    Sorry, I'm kind of cranky about this.

    Try deleting the cache.db associated with Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Gmail.
    There is a Mavericks / Gmail update available >  OS X: About Mail Update for Mavericks
    You can avoid accessing your Gmail account via browser.
    Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Informatin then click ➕ to add your Gmail account. That way you don't need to Safari to access your Gmail account.

  • I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open.  also the program does not open when i connect my iphone.  Help!

    Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open?  it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it.  it won't open when i connect my iphone?  this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
    If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
    Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

  • I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest  version of itunes.  Still......  First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere  from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this

    I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest
    version of itunes.  Still......
    First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere
    from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this
    long.
    When in the itunes program I can be moving around in my library and itunes
    when choosing a song or songs, choosing file, edit, etc,. whatever command I
    choose it just suddenly stops.  I can issue five commands and watch each one
    respond in 30 second to two minute intervals.  I can issue several commands,
    even shutting down, and it will do all but takes several minutes to do so.
    My itunes program was working fine when this problem suddenly arose.
    Terry

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
