Why is Firefox 3.6 always stopping? sometime during the day it just stoppes and takes a long time then continues.

some time ago i updated to 3.6 and then i noticed the program would just freeze. it makes no difference what I'm doing or what site I'm on it just freezes and then starts again. i will click and nothing and after i click on a number of things not realizing it froze it starts and lord only knows where i wind up. i'm using vista and i did not have this problem with 3.4 or 3.5 and i have not got may updates from windows any ideas what may be going on? thanks

- I use swing components, except the AWT object that
extends Canvas implements Runnable, that is inserted
in a JPanel with cardLayoutDon't mix awt and Swing components - it'll mess you up. Make it all swing. Use a JPanel or something other than a Canvas. Also, instead of overriding paint(), try overriding paintChildren() or paintComponent();
so, these are the symptoms, do you know a cure for
this desease?How do you start your Thread? You should definitely use:
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(myAnimatorThread); see:

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted.
is there a way to stop it in the middle so it does not go through the whole process

It's called, "FileVault." If there is no option to stop the process, then the best bet would be to wait until decrypting is finished. Otherwise you run the risk of borking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine how you can accidentally turn off FileVault.

Very slow to delete, send, forward, circle just goes round and round and then finally does its task plus sometimes stalls and takes a long time to get mail.

It also comes up with an error message once in a while when I try to send something and won't send it but if I click send again then it usually goes out.

Check your firewall and make sure that Thunderbird has full access. (This computer has Norton 360, and the firewall blocked incoming connections)
How many folders are you storing offline? If you have a lot in your trash/spam/sent folders and it is storing offline, maybe that's slowing it down. It wouldn't hurt to check and see if your e-mail provider is somehow blocking Thunderbird.

Why does my signal drops and takes a long time to search and connect when I turn on or off my cellular data? And normal text messages are not getting delivered properly. It shows sent but later it will show try again, Is it just me?

I do not know what the problem is, but after the latest update it is really hard to send text messages. It is taking alot of time to send the messages, it is not the problem with the carrier because sending text messages with the same number in the same area is really easy on my normal nokia 1100. Please suggest me what I should check. Second problem I am facing is the carrier signal drops to nothing when I turn on the cellular data. It has to then search for the network and connect again the same happens when I turn the data off again. Please tell a solution. I do not think it is the problem with the hardware because the phone is hardly 2weeks old and everything was working properly with ios 6. It initaly had problem with the battery on updating to ios7 but that was rectified with the new update but again these are the new issues am facing.

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Makes too much noise as soon as I switch it on and never stops and takes a long time to shut down

Makes too much irritating background noise that makes it impossible to record the audio for my videos

Gps stop working during the run

I've purchased my SW3 mainly due to GPS stand alone.
unfortunately it stops work during the run or just about 10 minutes after has started.
I've tried My tracks , Run Keeper IFit outside and all of them happen the same .
could you fix this ?

You need to download Google's My Tracks app and it will sync to your phone. Once you do just go down to my tracks and select run, and once it locks you'll see that location icon in the top left corner of watch showing that it has GPS lock

When I try to sync my iPad and iPhone it will get within the last 3 pictures then stop giving me an APPCRASH error message. Then iTunes will shut down. No matter what I do to increase or decrease the number of pictures it always stops 3rd from the last.

Thank you iTunes for fixing the problem of downloading my pictures to my iPad and iPhone with the update 10.5.0.142

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Anyone had these issues?

One other thing thing you might try, is a +*Verify Disk+* (not permissions) on your internal HD. That will not take anything like 40 hours! If it reports problems, you'll have to boot from your Install disc and use it's copy of DU to repair it. Post back if you need to do this but aren't sure how.
I think it's very fishy that Repair Disk took 40 hours -- it seems like any operation that touches the hard drive on the Time Capsule takes a long time. Maybe the hard drive is having problems? What sort of problems could a drive have that would make everything VERY slow, but still successful?
Try connecting via an Ethernet cable; see what effect that has. Everything should be faster, of course, but not wildly. Just as an example, I'm doing backups to a USB hard drive via my Airport Extreme, about 15 feet from my iMac. When I first started that way, I did a full backup via Ethernet (about 21 gb/hour), then erased it and ran again wirelessly (about 12 gb/hour).
Even 5 feet apart, you may have some sort of interference or other communications problem; if Ethernet is many times faster, then you may need to have your TC and/or wireless card examined.

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

The solution is :
1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
2. Run
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
5. Restart

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]<br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu?

Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu? I know where it is but others have trouble finding it. Why not bring it out into the light?

''the-edmeister [[#answer-695435|said]]''
<blockquote>
Not every user is going to receive the update on the day it is first released, for a couple of reasons. One is to spread out the load on the updates servers over a few days; not every "ping" that checks for the availability of an update will result in the update being downloaded and installed. Some users may not get the update for a few days, depending upon how often that use Firefox or launch Firefox. ''(Firefox "pings" the update server to see if an update is available as part of the startup routine once a day. For users that keep Firefox open for days at a time and keep their PC running 24/7, they won't get the update until they restart Firefox.)''
The second is when a suspected "issue" is found during the 4 or 5 days prior to the release date, when the "Release Candidate" builds are being tested. In such a case, Mozilla will "throttle" the update server to limit the number of users that get the update. That way far fewer users are inconvenienced with a potentially problematic "build" If it turns out that a "chemspill" build is needed to fix an "issue".
</blockquote>
Yes, at last, a simple (for non techie users) responsible answer, accurate, and.......analyze exactly how the update works in firefox. I love that, simple, clear answers for simple questions. :-)
thank you the-edmeister :-)

"Firefox can't find the server" extende periods of the day on my WIFI and slow at the same time on my AT&T G3.

Back in late August, I began having intermittant problems loging onto my websites. primarily Sunday and Monday nights almost always down. Now I am having more trouble and at more different times. However there are periods of time during the day when I have no trouble at all.
I have also noticed that somewhere in the mix I lost my Google toolbar and only have a Yahoo tool bar. I have looked in the place where the bars are activated and Google is completely gone. Why? I do not like the Yahoo bar and it does not have a go back feature for one thing.

Perhaps I should be clearer. I clicked on your offered link, the one in blue that said " http//:www.hanovernh. (etc.) Your choice of giving me the link within the googled site was the perfect test. You were able to get into that site; I cannot. This is a site that 2 and 3 weeks ago I was able to contact. But starting about a week and a half ago, I couldn't.
I tried Firefox Help but after filling out the appropriate page with the problem, there was a connectivity problem preventing Help from seeing it.
I'll try more sites to get a broader picture of the problem. As of now, I know there are other "Server Not Found" sites. I'll look for a pattern.

Firefox is running slow, sluggishly, websites take a long time to load, to connect. I've done everything this board has suggested.

Firefox is really starting to annoy me. Sometimes it runs slow and sluggishly, other times it doesn't. Usually it does though. When I open new tabs, the connection icon will just keep swirling. I constantly get High CPU Useage alerts from my virus protection. I've done everything listed in the below articles. Does anyone have some advice? Firefox didn't use to be like this.
Thank you.

Alright, it's getting to the point where I can barely use FireFox anymore. It's getting worse by the day, I don't understand. Web pages take a LONG time to load, but sometimes they don't....it's hit or miss. But when they do take a long time, they take a long time.
It's getting very bad. I don't know much about computers, safe mode, and all that. It would really help if someone could walk me through what to do, like they would a 10-year old... actually a 10-year old probably knows more than me. Well you get the idea.
I really want to keep using this browser, but if I don't get it fixed I will have to stop. Like I said in the initial post, I've done all the things those two links suggested. It got better at first, but now it seems like it's gotten worse.

Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?

This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
