Why has my FireFox gone painfully slow/Not responding since last update?

Since the last update Firefox just does not want to work for me most webpages take 20-30 seconds to load and often It will just not respond and take a minute to load and when it does it will have a script error as for google images forget about it well into 2 mins to load after the not responding message finally goes My brother also uses Firefox and his works perfectly fine, I have disabled all addons and it is the same. If i use another browser (Chrome) It is super fast I have tried some suggestions from other posts like making firefox high priority and such there is little difference if any please dont makeme use chrome

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    Hey Janetna5,
    Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
    Restarting your iOS device
    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
    Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
    Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
    The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.

  • IPad will not sprint since last update any ideas

    My iPad will no longer sprint since last update two days ago. I have tried updating again but still does not work.

    Hi there Happy painter,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Since installilng Adobe Reader 9 Firefox is very slow & "not responding" How can this be fixed?

    Yesterday I installed Adobe Reader 9. Also Firefox became incredibly slow and I keep seeing strange site names in the lower left of the screen. I keep getting "not responding messages", and in 1-2 minutes the screen I wanted comes up. I don't know if they are related. Norton keeps finding lots of "cookies" to remove as well. But that happened prior to this issue.

    Try updating Java via Windows Control Panel. The current version is 1.6.0_24. The version you appear to be running is 1.6.0_20

  • .Xdefaults Xcursor.theme not applying since last update

    I'm using Openbox. Since last system update about 10 days ago this is not working. To be more exact it is loaded, but inmediatelly unloaded and reverts to default cursor theme.
    At work, I have Archlinux too, but I haven't updated yet, and this is working perfectly. I could post software versions, but I don't know what programs could be important for this situation.
    Thanks in advance.
    NeOnsKuLL

    Hm, I use xcursor-neutral from the repos and I activate it only via .Xdefaults with this line
    Xcursor*theme: Neutral
    I name it "Neutral" because the folder is /usr/share/icons/Neutral, so just look, in which folder your theme is in and change it for yours.
    That's all, my system is absolutely up to date incl [testing]

  • Home sharing not responding after last update in ATV2 and 3

              I used to watch my itunes library content with home sharing in my ATV's with no problem, listen music, watch movies, etc, but since last ATV update I can't access to my Itunes library (home sharing), I followed and read twice your troubleshooting articles, and nothing happened. I'm in the same wifi, same Apple ID in Itunes, ATV's and in my iphone Remote app, I can use the airplay with no issues, but not directly from the ATV home sharing, message in the ATV: "Could not connect to (my library), Make sure, blah blah blah...". I have that latest versions of itunes, ATV, Iphone IOS, etc, I read all your blogs and nothing seem to be working. Hope anybody can have some answers. I try in both ATV2 and 3 with same results.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you tried restarting the router.

  • Screen not working since last update

    Hi, since I downloaded last secirity update few days ago, my computer started behaving weirdly, first couldn´t´empty trash although it would tell me that ooperation was completed right, all files would stay in the trash (i tried secure emty trash and all) and now the screen is so dark that i can only see shadows of windows. Luckywise i have a second screen at home so i can send this but, it´s not enough i need to work with it. I already tried to reset PMU but nothing happened, and in my last moving apparently i´ve lost the OS dvds so i can´t try to reinstall and chech definetively if the problem is software or hardware, before i take it to the retailer for repair (and i loose my working tool who knows how long) is tehre anybody that can help? does this last update srewed somebody else´s computer ? is it just a coincidence?
    Thanks

    After reading the thread "17" PBook display colors are off .. bad" and your thread I was able to fix my problem. I think what must have occurred is the recent computer update some how reset some of my display preferences and it turned the brightness way down. All I did was go to System Preferences then Displays and adjusted the brightness.
    I hope thats all you problem is, good luck

  • Why won't photo attachments in an email send since last update?

    Since the last update, I have been unable to attach photos in an email.  Has anyone else experienced this and were you able to fix it?

    No, have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Why has my Firefox become so slow, even though I don't have any add-ons?

    The settings tell me that I don't even have any add-ons installed. But FIrefox is still very slow, especially on those bigger sites.
    Resetting Firefox doesn't help either..

    ''However, Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.670.1 has been blocked...''
    The Java Deployment Toolkit plugin (also called Java DT) is a specialized plugin designed for web developers and network administrators and is not related to your general usage of Java (and is not required to be running to enable Java content in the browser.) It's "highly unlikely" this is the source of your browser slowdown. Oracle likes to "bundle" this plugin with Java SE for unknown reasons. Mozilla still considers Java DT to be vulnerable, and has considered it to be vulnerable for a long time...that's why you see this message (and probably will continue seeing it, unless you delete the plugin.) You can delete this plugin from the list of firefox plugins, but it will probably come back when you update Java. If you're interested in reading/talking more about specifically Java DT, we made a thorough discussion thread at the mozillazine support forum here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2877359
    Sounds like you could benefit from disabling all Java content in the browser. How that is accomplished is explained in the above thread.

  • Why has CC app lost track of installed apps since an update today?

    I updated the CC app this morning. Since doing so it has lost track of all the installed apps and thinks I have non installed.
    From a different post I came across the following and it mentions following step 2 of this article which I did:
    "Unknown Server Error" when you attempt to log in to Adobe Creative Cloud
    Anyone any ideas how to get it to remember what is installed without having to reinstall all the applications...which I'm not doing because I use quite a few.
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Anyone any ideas how to get it to remember what is installed without having to reinstall all the applications...
    It's not possible. Once the installer database is borked it's really borked and that is just that. Either live with it or run a full reinstall after running the cleaner tool.

  • Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

    I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

    Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening on startup since last update on Macintosh running Tiger?

    Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • Screen rotation not working since last update

    I have had my galaxy s4 for almost a month and love it, but it recently had a software update and ever since the screen rotation is not working. The camera is always upside down. Occasionally if the screen rotates to landscape, it won't rotate back to portrait when I turn the phone back the other way. I have tried to restart the phone. I have unchecked and rechecked the auto screen rotate setting. Nothing fixes it. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

    Thank you Klue for responding, but when I followed your instructions, I could not find a setting for Gyroscopic calibration. I researched it further, and learned that the latest software update for the S4 eliminated this setting.  If anyone else has suggestions, please help! I can't post photos on social media because they are all upside down. Help please!!!!
