Why Firefox has all these problems?

First, I updated Firefox to the latest version but I have noticed that Firefox has a lot of problems and relatively slow to browse sites and also slow to respond, however, most of the Firefox browser crashes all the time, causing the system to freeze ... For the first time get a problem with RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin?

I am having all these problems after webroot did a clean up of files; I was able to find the files; all are firefox files, how do I reinstall these files?

I am having all these problems; yahoo is not the same, cannot do anything on facebook; I found the files that were "cleaned" and they were all firefox files, there are many more in que to be "cleaned" by webroot; how do I reinstall these files? How do I stop webroot from continuing this "cleanup" I emailed webroot but got no reaponse.
Thank you,
Donna

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

Why all these problems?

im totally on hold after reading all these problems with the MBP SR. I thought long and hard and though my money is already paid in full Im not going for it yet! Might wait till Leopard is in it. Anyone having NO PROBLEMS!?

I've had my MBP 2.4GHz for 3 weeks now, and I love it.
I have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever.
It does seem to get very hot sometimes, and it worries me a bit, but apparently this is "normal".
There is no screen "flicker".
When I wear headphones, there are some barely noticeable electronic noises that are normal for an electronic (non hi-fi) device such as this, and a non-issue for me even as someone from an audio engineering background.
I have seen the yellowish tint to the screen some have reported, but ONLY WHEN VIEWING FROM AN EXTREME ANGLE!
This is a normal limitation of the technology and certainly not a defect.
I come to this forum to find out what potential issues I should watch out for.
I take all the negative reports with a grain of salt, knowing that they are typically far more rare than posts here would make it seem.
You need to do your research, and realize that if a dozen folks report a problem, that is a fraction of a fraction of a percent of users.
The ones to pay attention to are the ones with much larger numbers of reporters, such as this one http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=986785&tstart=15 - about AirPort related kernel panics, which seems to be a very hardware-specific bug that doesn't happen to relate to me.
I assure you, there are many more people, like myself, who are thrilled with their MBP purchases, than the ones that are having major problems - they just don't have a reason to post here.
Also keep in mind that the unlucky few who do purchase a legitimately defective machine are understandably frustrated and angry. And it's human nature to want to believe that you are not just one of the unlucky few - misery loves company.
So a lot of these folks try to convince themselves and others that the problems are wide-spread. Which, for the most part, they are not.
Anyway, all that said, if you can comfortably wait until Leopard is released to buy your MBP, you absolutely should.
My aging PBG4 couldn't run the software I'm being trained to use (FCP), so I couldn't wait any longer.
It took every ounce of restraint I could muster to wait for the new MBP.
I waited an extra couple of weeks after it was released, keeping an eye on these forums, just to rule out any major defects - which I did, despite the handful of reports that the sky was falling.
At the rate technology improves and prices fall these days, it definitely pays to wait as long as you possibly can to make a high-end tech purchase (as difficult as it is to delay gratification).
So - never fear - these machines are awesome! You can buy with 99.9% certainty that you'll be thrilled with your purchase.
Sorry for the long post. Wait for Leopard if you can, if not buy without fear and ENJOY!

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

I want to get a macbook pro but Im afraid of all these problems

I need to get a new laptop for 3D(Maya) work and some Design.. I want to get a macbook pro but I am very very worried of all these problems Ive been reading about. Whine? Too Hot? sigh....

Well here's a simple solution if you don't feel like sending in your MBP 2, 3, and 4, maybe even 5 times to AppleCare for recurring issues: Wait until the next revision of the MBPs which will hopefully bring about the introduction of the Core 2 Duo (Merom) chips. It shouldn't be too far off in the future and if the new chip is as good as everyone's saying it is, the wait will be well worth it. The CPU whine of my MBP is HORRIBLE and to me it makes the machine utterly useless when I'm working in the lab as I need to concentrate; I'm back on my PowerBook.
I realize that my situation is unique in that I'm working in a sound-sensitive environment. However, I paid the similar price tag on my PowerBook and this machine has been flawless. I bought the AppleCare for it and have yet to send it in for anything. My MBP is maybe 4 months old and has been to Apple's repair depot 4 times. In fact, for the first 2 and a half months of ownership, Apple had my MBP more than I did.
Apple may have fixed the problems by now with their newer MBPs but that's anyone guess, and it's solely a gamble as to what week build MBP you'd get and what kind of problems it will have.
My advice: I strongly recommend waiting if you can. Even if you don't work in a sound-sensitive environment, you will get great peace of mind knowing that your computer will perform, look, and sound like a well-built, $2000+ machine (hopefully).

Frequent "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. Need to disable adblock plus and AVG safe search to continue. Any way to fix?

For about a third of websites I visit, at some point I receive a "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. I have to disable both Adblock plus and AVG safe search in order to continue. This used to happen for two or so sites, and I disabled the ad-ons before going to those sites. It has increased to the point that the adblock plus and safe search ad-ons are becoming pretty useless. Is there any way to rectify this problem. Sending error reports has no effect.

Have you changed anything in the Photoshop installation areas? If the updater doesn't find a pristine installation it will fail.
The only area you should ever put anything into is the plug-ins subfolder. Everything else is hands-off.

Hi Doomtrooper,
When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?
Please be a little more specific

Why firefox has removed all my passwords and now not saving them when i am trying to save them afresh! It is compelling me to lookout for other options, on a serious note.

OS: Ubuntu 9.10,
Firefox: 3.5.9.
Suddenly, all my saved passwords are lost and it is not storing any new passwords either. Although the save password button appear, but clickiing on it doesn't do ANYTHING. It is really frustrating.

Hi.
I don't know why Firefox erased your passwords, but you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
As for getting it to ask again, it has been reported that reinstalling Firefox will solve the issue.

Why firefox has slow response when i 'm saving pictures to hard disk?

I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox ver. 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When i try to save a picture from a site (right mouse click and save as) to the hard disk of my pc, the response of firefox is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought it was a matter of file size but it proved that it was irrelevant, because it was happening to pictures from 10kb to 500kb. I did the following:
- clear history
- clear cache from firefox and the folder ''cache'' in my profile
- delete the files downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf
- i changed the ''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' and ''services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'' to false
- clear the downloads window
- disable all add-ons
After all these, the problem still remained
Then i started firefox in safe mode (help --> Restart with Add-ons Disabled...). The problem still remained.
Then i disabled Microsoft security essentials (real time protection) and windows firewall. I do not have any other anti-virus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.
Then i created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. So, one last attempt was left to do. Reboot with safe mode. So i followed the following steps.
i ran msconfig and disabled ''Microsoft Security Client'' from start up tab and ''Microsoft Antimalware Service'' from services tab. So i did a safe mode boot with network support and windows firewall, disabled. Guess what. Nothing happened.
I noticed that when i was trying to save pictures, during the process, there was a significant hard disk activity (the led indicator of hard disk activity was lighting constantly) and firefox on the left upper corner, shown the message ''not responding'' for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19kb in 10 seconds is not normal.
Is this problem has to do with the cache? The hard disk is an SSD (solid state drive). Do you think it would be better to redirect cache to memory? (i have 6GB total RAM). This problem was also happening to previous versions of firefox, but i think that with this version, the problem is more frequent. It is not happening with every picture, but it happens with more than 65% of the pictures.
It also happens when loading a web page, but it might be a matter of a heavy web page that uses many resources of my system, during loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with web page loading, is not as frequent as with saving pictures.
I think it is a matter of cache management. What is your opinion?
Thank you.

The cause to my problem was the jump lists, that Windows 7 introduced. There are two kinds of jump lists, automatic and custom. Automatic jump lists were causing the slow down of firefox through window explorer. Finally it was a problem of windows explorer and not firefox. Windows 7 introduced many new features that cause slow system performance. Anyway the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
1. Open mycomputer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2. Press ctrl + a
3. press shift + delete and delete everything inside the folder
I think that the respective jump list of windows explorer is the one that starts with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in case you don't want to delete every jump list in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view files by date. The most recent file should be the correspondent with firefox.

Please help me figure out why Firefox is hanging - with problem signature

Hi, I am having a repetitive issue with Firefox where it just freezes up ("not responding). Most of the time it never responds and I have to just shut it all down and restart. When I do this, even though I click the option to check for a solution and close the program, it thinks for a second and gives me the following "problem signature" but it doesn't inform me of any solution. Here is what it usually says:
Problem signature:

At this point firefox totally shuts down and does not restart unless I open it again. When this happens I get the "this is embarrassing" screen where I can uncheck or leave checked what I want to be restored. I will point out that I usually have a few windows and multiple tabs in each window open at any given time. I don't know if this factors into it because I never only have one window or tab open to compare it to. I also generally leave them open even when I close my laptop so basically they stay open until the next time is crashes. Maybe this is the issue? Not sure. I also sometimes get an error type message about a script not working right. The most recent one is:
"Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbox.xml:734"
I only use Firefox generally, browser-wise. I am using IE to post this because Firefox just keeps freezing and when I try to restart it and re-open the previous windows I had open, it freezes again. I do not have Chrome or any other browser installed. I love Firefox!
Thank you for any help you can provide. I skipped over some of the recommendations that are generally suggested before posting a question but they all would have involved scrapping the many tabs I have open and then I would lose all of them because they aren't bookmarked. I hope that doesn't sound really stupid. I'm (obviously) not super technically inclined when it comes to the internet. Thanks again for reading this and I would very much appreciate any input.
Oh and I am using Windows 7 and I think the Firefox version is 31.0
Thanks!!!!

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I want to buy a 27" but I'm afraid with all these problems...

I've been on the fence all week about buying a 27" iMac. I've been reading these forums all week about these problems everyone is having with their new iMacs, the magic mouse, etc. Should I wait until these issues have been fixed? I dont want to go and buy one and have problems with it and have to call AppleCare about a brand new machine.

I've been reading these forums all week about these problems everyone is having with their new iMacs
If "everyone" is having problems, Apple Discussions' servers would have melted down by now. Please keep in mind that Apple sells Macs at a rate of over 10 million per year. I don't know how many new iMacs have been sold (it is probably a large number), but "everyone" is not having problems. Only people who are having issues will bother to post a new topic to report a problem; customers who are NOT having problems will usually not post just to say they are happy and everything is great. So for every person who posts about a problem, you do not know if there are 100, 1000, or 10,000 people who are NOT having any issues.
So even if it is as low as 1000 to 1, there will be hundreds (eventually even thousands) of people who will potentially post a topic about a problem with the new iMac. If you use posts on Apple Discussions as your primary "research," you will get a warped view of reality. I have a +Late 2006+ iMac. According to posts I have read on Apple Discussions, it should have had a problem with its video card or optical drive by now. But instead, it has been perfect.

Evernote button now disappeared using Firefox 5.0 and no compatible addon. Why do you advise upgrading when you don't have all these problems ironed out before issuing new software?

Evernote button now disappeared using Firefox 5.0

well, there you have it – a classical if then loop.
seems i'm still stuck somewhere in the middle of the amavisd.conf nightmare. had amavisd-new 2.4.5 / spamassassin 3.1.8 up and running after a real nightmare (which had to do with daemonize=1).
after i tried to get up-to-date with amavisd-new 2.5.1 and spamassassin 3.2.1 i saw the same problems (see below) again, while launchd tried to get amavisd started.
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: exited with exit code: 2
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: respawning too quickly! throttling
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: 9 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Jun 15 05:14:11 mail launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: will restart in 10 seconds
remembering the previous troubles, i double checked all things, which could be set wrong (daemonize, etc.) and all was well. tried a second install and all to no success.
later i had the idea, it might be the new amavisd.conf, which troubles (why ever) the startup. so i used the v2.4.5 one and lo and behold, it worked. but why? what is so strange/new/different in 2.5.1, that the startup of amavisd gets broken?
now i read, that they changed a bunch of stuff and i certainly would be using the newer versions conf file, but it seems i don't get it right configured. i'm on the latest updated 10.4.9 server with all fixes installed. every service is working, mail gets in/out and gets even tagged.
well, i didn't do the setup with the 2 users junkmail/nojunkmail yet. is it really necessary to set them up as local users? can't they be handled as every other user which has mail enabled via wgm?
anyone can help me here? thx.
