Why does my firefox all of a sudden stop downloading data? websites dont load on it anymore...

im in aus, my net admittedly peaks and slows down alot, and at its best its still way behind 99% of the people on this forum. The times it refuses to load new pages and sits on 'connecting' is very frustrating and it cant be on my end because if i enter the same url's in IE it loads straight away. If i check my net conection status while this problem is occuring, i notice im only uploading/dling a tiny trickle of info at a slow rate, yet this instantly goes away when i start using IE.
I've only started having problems with it a few days ago, do i need to reinstall firefox or something? i much prefer firefox over chrome or IE dont make me go back to them! ><

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 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Why does my phone all of the sudden keep saying "searching"?

    I have a new 4s.  Got it on Oct 14th and have had zero problems.  Well all of the sudden it constantly says "searching" and will then say AT&T then freeze for a second then go back to "searching."  I have an AT&T MicroCell which has given me no problems.  I disconnected that and the same thing happens, so I know its no my MicroCell.  I reset the network settings to no avail.  I'm gonna see if this goes away by tomorrow morning, if not then I'm gonna restore the phone via iTunes.  Anyone experience this?  I doubt my phone is defective.  Could this be an iOS 5 bug?

    Refere to a previous discussion:

    Turning your Sim Pin off may help, although this step + a Back Up/Restore may be required.

  • Why is my line all of a sudden going over data usage?

    @Please excuse my ignorance,  but  all of a sudden, my line is the one going over the data usage limit and I don't understand why, aside from using Facebook, which I've been using all along.   I would have thought the overage would be due to my son.
    I don't think I'm doing anything different.
    I also find the plans to be confusing.  I thought with the new Edge plan,  I would be saving money, but I'm not.
    I'm paying way too much for a phone plan, even with my discount.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?   Do I need to sign out of facebook  each time or is there a way to clear it?????
    I don't know.....I'm working too hard to deal with this crap.

  • Fascinate Market all of a sudden stopped downloading apps - pls help

    I bought a Samsung Fascinate today. It never downloaded any apps.  I did a Master restart, and it started to download apps (about 4) - then it stopped downloading.  I click on "install," it says "application will download" and then it immediately says "download unsuccessful."
    I called customer service at Verizon three times - spoke to their tech guys - and they recommended getting a new phone.
    So, I went tonight and got a new phone. It was working great - downloading apps.
    Then all of a sudden, it stopped downloading apps and every time I try to download anything, it says "download unsuccessful."
    So it's not the phone, I gather.  I don't know what to do.  I'm so frustrated.
    Thanks for any and all help you can offer.  I really like the phone and don't want to get a different one, but I need to be able to download apps.  Clearly, customer service/tech support is worthless (they were Googling the problem to help me - I can do that!).

    Letstry some different steps to try to correct this problem. 
    First you would want to verify that you have the 3G coverage on the phone. 
    You can verify that information at the top, next to the signal bars.
    Then could I get you to do a soft rest on the device. 
    Press the Power key.
    Touch Power off.
    Touch OK.
    Press the Power key to power on the device.
    Then dial *228 send and option 1,  then dial *228 send and option 2.
    If you are attempting to download the same application, try downloading a different application to see if you get the same error message.  
    Then try this step:
    From the home screen, select Applications.
    Select development,
    Then allow 3rd party applications.  
    Finally  before downloading applications try stopping the applications that are running in the background.  
    From the home screen, select Applications.
    Select Running Services, Choose unnecessary applications and Force Stop.

  • Why Does My Email all of a sudden Hang up for 1-2 minutes?

    Just recently, my email hangs up (the spinning color wheel) for one to two minutes whenever I move around to different mailboxes (inbox, sent, etc.). It really never happened before but it does now. I have a CPU activity monitor and whenever this happens, mail accounts for 100% of my cpu activity. Something is going on. When I view "force quit" it looks like mail is NOT Responding but if I wait, it sorts itself out and everything works until it happens again. I went through repair disk permissions, check disk, and tech tool deluxe but it still happens.
    Any one have suggestions as to why this happened? I have rebooted several times just to be sure something hadn't created the problem.
    Happy new year and thanks for any help.

  • Why does my Netflix all of a sudden no longer play? I just get directed to the page listing system requirements, which I meet!?

    Netflix support says I have to contact you, since my browser might be corrupted? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, same problem. I just get this same page, listing the system requirements, all of which I meet. I have Windows XP 64 service pack 2, and use Firefox 11. I tried to check my plug-ins, and tried to update Silverlight, but again got a message that I didn't meet system requirements. Very frustrating!!
    This is the message I constantly get:
    Instant Watching System Compatibility
    Complete System Requirements
    To watch instantly, you''ll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements:
    Windows
    Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7
    Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 7 or higher
    1.2 GHz processor
    512 MB RAM
    Mac
    An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.11 or later
    Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 10 or higher
    1 GB RAM
    Chrome OS
    A Google Chromebook with Chrome OS 13 or higher

    I am pretty sure that is what Netflix uses to display media. Try installing it from [http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/]

  • After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again.  Why Does This Happen All The Time.   Please Reply,  James

    Hi, 
    After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again. 
    Why Does This Happen All The Time. 
    Please Reply, 
    James

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx
