Why does Mozilla Firefox download files so much more slowly thanIE

Using Firefox 5.0 just freshly downloaded from the official mozilla.com site last week, I notice that firefox downloads most files '''''MUCH''''' more slowly than when I am using Internet Explorer 8

See this migrate iTunes library post for tips on moving an iTunes library from one computer to another.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device to move your media from a device into a new library if you've failed to migrate the library.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to make sure you don't lose the content that is in your library.
If/when something goes wrong with the device you should restore it. If all the content is in your library where it should be then this should be an easy task.

  • Why does Safari automatically download files?  I want option to download.

    Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Why does Safari automatically download files?
    That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
    I didn't think it used to automatically download.
    Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

  • Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their web search if Google stores everything we search?

    Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you search and track what you do online? I've got nothing against Firefox, I'm just wondering why.

    I just figured they wouldn't have since they don't track what people do. I figured they were against that.

  • Why does Mozilla Firefox Yahoo permit Astromenda to attack PC's

    Every time I download Firefox, I get this viral adware malware on my PC. And I spend hours getting rid of it. Why doesn't someone stop it?

    Why are you using Mozilla Firefox Yahoo, rather than the official version of Firefox which is available directly from Mozilla?

  • Why does mozilla firefox randomly launch by its self in windows 7

    When the PC is idle Mozilla Firefox suddenly opens with me clicking on anything. The operating system is Windows 7

    Are web pages opened when this happens?
    Does this also happen when you set another browser as the default browser or is the other browser that is set as default browser opened instead?
    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 Mozilla Firefox open to a previous session?

    Whenever I launch Mozilla Firefox, a session from a little more than a week ago opens up. Usually it opens up to my homepage. Now, it opens up with 8 tabs. They are: my Yahoo mail, my Gmail, 4 other Google sites, and an Amazon site.
    How can I put a stop to this?
    Thank you to any and everyone with a suggestion.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why does Mozilla Firefox display white colour checkered in yellow?

    The browser displays white colours as checkered. And clearly it is not an issue of wrong backgound - checs change when I scroll a page up or down. I've tried reinstalling Firefox but nothing changed. What may cause the problem?

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
    You can also try to disable color management.<br />
    You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

  • Why does Mozilla Firefox have lots of cool Themes (full) but only a limited few work on my version of Firefox?

    Just want more themes, the cool ones,please. Is it possible?

    Themes are created by 3rd party developers, not by Firefox. Due to unfamiliarity with the new UI and a lot of dissatisfaction with the new UI which makes creating a full theme harder, a lot of developers haven't updated their themes for Firefox 29 and later versions, or have quit doing themes.

  • Why does Mozilla/Firefox support OS X 10.4.11 and Apple does not?

    I have a RELIABLE PowerMac B/W with a Sonnet G4 processor. I can not install Leopard/Snow Leopard because it seems that this software release requires an Intel processor. Being on a fixed income, I am unable to just go out and purchase a new Mac. As far as the new Safari System requirements, Safari 5.0.4 supports OS X 5.0 and above, Windows XP, Vista and 7. Windows XP has been around for quite a while, yet Apple will write code to support Windows XP but not for Mac OS X 10.4.11. Why is that?

    JPHP,
    Thank you for you input concerning my problem. I, too have an iBook G3. I can't get updated versions of Acrobat Reader or Flash, but that is Adobe. I just think Apple should know it product line's interest. If anything, they could just look at"Discussions to get an idea of what product is still alive by questions that are being asked. Apple has a reliable Product that is dependable and lasts. We all paid good money for our computers, treated it properly and that explains the longevity of our computers. So why do they not support their existing embedded products?
    Just out of curiosity, I know I need more RAM, but would you know if CPU speed 500Mhz would meet minimum requirements?

  • Why does Mozilla Firefox hang (Freeze) on startup?

    For the last few version of the Firefox browser I have noticed it hangs on start up for approximately thirteen to twenty five seconds. Upon reinstalling it seems to work fine but when I reinstall my old profile it begins again. Obviously something in my profile is causing this but I have deleted my cache, uninstalled applications or add-on's, etc. Is there something I am forgetting to check?

    * Try this.
    * Type in the address bar about:config.
    * Accept the warning.
    * In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections.
    * Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
    * Close the about:config page.
    * Restart the browser.

  • Why does my Movie Library say I have more items than I do??

    HI
    I have a question about my Movie Library.
    When looking in my library at the bottom the count says I have 248 items. When Selecting all in the library it tells me I have 240 items selected. This is a little confusing as I've just done a data transfer and want to know I have all my stuff moved.
    I count 240 in the Library but only 239 in my movies folder in my itunes library folder.
    Any idea why this would be different??
    Thanks

  • Why is Adobe photoshop Australian pricing so much more expensive than US pricing???

    The Adobe pricing policy for Australia is to promote significant overpricing ( sometimes more than 100%!) for both purchased and downloaded products.
    I note that purchases of Adobe products through Amazon are also not allowed for Australian customers, when there is no problem for other company products.
    What is going on? Adobe should give an honest answer to explain this anti-competitive conduct.

    what's bad about being smart business people?  Companies exist to make profits and they will charge what the market will bear.  If the market reacts by not buying because the price is too high, the price will be reduced?  Simple market forces at work - highschool economics.  Apparently, Apple feels their sales in Sweden at the current price point are going well - if you want to change the price, stop buying the product at that price.

  • Whay after new firefox download all pages load so much more slowly

    I have been prompted twice in the last couple of days to download new firefox updats.
    Since then, my web pages load very much more slowly than they ever had before. I have tried the usual system maintenance tools with no improvement in efficiency or speed.
    The downloading process states it disables quite a few normal operating systems involving Java and Adobe etc. Why?
    It seems you are improving firefox at the cost of the rest of the system. How is that supposed to help any web use?

    Everything is probably working fine for most of 400 million Firefox users. Whatever the problem is it will probably only affect a few users, and may well be due to something to do with how you have Firefox set up on your computer.
    If you are able to provide more information it helps us in trying to help you. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so attaching a couple of screenshots of the problem pages may assist us.
    The suggestions in my first post did '''not''' involve installing and uninstalling anything, just simple tests and changes using mouse clicks. In fact I pointed out a reinstall may not solve problems.
    (A special clean reinstall, or setting up a new profile does sometimes help, but first of all lets just try to find out first of all what you are seeing on your own computer screen)
