Why is Firefox 7 Beta so slow and lags or locks up and crashes?

Ok I noticed that the Firefox updates have been coming quite rapidly and that the latest version is Beat. I understand Beta versions will have bugs and kinks that need to be worked out. My Problem is websites load slow as crap or don't load all together. And getting on Facebook? Forget that! Facebook has enough issues without throwing a slow Browser in the mix. My question is this. Does Firefox 7 Beta have some issues with responsiveness and speed? I noticed alot of people having the same issue as far as browsing speed. And before anyone suggests clearing history and cache. I have already done that several times. I have even checked my computer for viruses and anything else that might cause a problem like that. Add-ons and any extra toolbars are either removed or disabled and certain sites will still not load properly. Any extra information or advice would be very much appreciated! Thank you! A Loyal Firefox user.

I am having exactly the same problems. I have noticed that when a website or link fails to load properly, I have to click the link a second time and about half the time that seems to work. There is clearly a problem and I am anxious for Foxfire to fix this problem!

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I was using my iPad and then I locked it and now the screen wont light up and when I plug it into iTunes it doesn't show up under devices

I was using my iPad one morning looking at ebay, and then I locked it and came back and when I clicked the home button nothing happend. When I clicked the lock button nothing happened, when I plugged it into iTunes nothing happened and it didn't show uunder "Devices" on to side. Please help me I don't know how to fix this and it's been two days since it happened.

I would then try and do a hard reset like Fernando recomends if that doesnt work you might need to try a DFU Restore.

I have IE & Firefox on both my laptop and desktop. Why is Firefox so much slower than IE7? Firefox seems to take forever to load pages!

I have a HP laptop & Dell desktop with IE7 and Firefox. I use Firefox more as I like it better than IE, yet the pages in Firefox load so slow. I thought the new version of Firefox was so much faster, but it seems to drag along and take forever to load pages. Why is this??

Why can firefox beta, aurora, and nightly open in windows 8.1 desktop mode but not app mode?

The applications will launch in desktop mode but not in a windows 8.1 app I am hoping for help with this I have tried everything to fix crashing or slowness and have reinstalled the program in aurora nightly or even firefox beta forms. Help!

Hi!
You may want to take a look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-install-firefox-windows-8-touch
I would assume the options to switch into it would be the same. I can't confirm though since I don't run Windows 8.

Why is Firefox running super slow and IE runs great? New details 03/29

Fire Fox was running great, and then for some reason, it starting runnning extremely slow. When I type it is slow to appear on the screen, ads from websites are jerky, and even the circle spins slowly for every web load/refresh. I went as far as uninstalling Fire Fox to include favorites and associated data, re-downloading and installing. This did not help either. I had to use IE to even ask for help, its that bad. AVG Virus scan and AVG PC tune up fixed problems and several reboots did not help. Did not crash. Please help, I dont like IE.

I had same problem. At least in my case it's due to Nvidia Graphics Card using 3D rendering feature.
When I played videos on YouTube Firefox was loading these DLL:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\Nv3DVStreaming.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvSCPAPI.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvStereoApiI.dll
Disabling Nvidia 3D crap fixes the problem for me!!

Why is firefox running so slow

why is firefox running so slowly?

Can be Add-ons. Start up Fx in Safe Mode to test by holding down the Option key. This will run without any Add-ons. If it's OK like that, disable them all and then add them back one at a time to see which one is responsible.

Why does firefox beta download ask for adminstrator password but when I put it in, its says wrong password or user name?

whenever I try to download firefox beta on my laptop it asks for an adminstrator password but when i put it in it says wrong user " name or password" so I try to by pass that by trying to download as user but then nothing happens the dialog box disappears and I have to start the download all over again. I'm trying to sync firefox with my android phone but I can't get the desktop/laptop version going.

Since installing Windows 7 there have been some weird goings on with my laptop.
I kept muddling around with this and ran a few diagnostics only to find that everything was fine. There was an incompatibility problem with Windows 7 and Firefox (safe mode) which I cared for by simply agreeing with everything Windows 7 wanted to do. It made an adjustment and apparently between the two programs they worked it out.
I tried downloading Firefox 4 beta one more time...using a fresh download in my Firefox browser and from the Firefox webpage. Oddly, this time the program downloaded saved itself to my laptop. I was able to open and install it without incident.
Now, I am all sync'd up!
Thank you very much for your assistance

Why is Firefox so dreaded slow compared to IE9?

Ok, I was basically still working the adobe flash player issue, and I stumbled across some speed test info. So I decided to play Firefox 13.0.1 off against IE9. Same PC, procedure, start Firefox, run speed test, shut down Firefox, open IE9, run test again at same site, same PC, same internet connection, yada yada. This blew me away, and I tested on 2 sites, speedtest.org and speedtest.net. Oh yeah, using Charter cable internet, Charter cable modem, direct wire connection to router on this PC.
Results: IE9 - download 52.7Mbps, upload 3.6Mbps; Firefox 13.0.1 - download 1.6 Mbps, upload 2.1 Mbps !!!! Geeze, what is up with this thing???!!!! And it's repeatable, over and over and over. No wonder video via Firefox sucks! (pardon the expletive)
I'm just a simple 65 year old, I just want stuff to work, and this just seems ludicrous, almost like it can't be true, but the 2 speed test sites compare closely to each other, with both browsers under test.
In addition, video via IE9 is super, regardless of source, my Netflix "experience" via PS3 is superb, and also VUDU via my Mits, which pegs it's speedtest.
My only conclusion is there is something wrong with Firefox, at the core, and it seems to me to be with this version, I just don't remember this stuff before.

if you are using Charter Security or F-Secure and having performance issues on sites using flash please make sure that '''enhanced process monitoring''' is '''disabled''' in advanced settings > computer > deepguard since it might interfere with adobe flash' [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html protected mode].

IPod Touch screen switches back and forth between lock screen and start-up screen.

iPod Touch 4th Generation
My iPod Touch screen has been showing the Apple logo with the loading wheel then it will switch to the lock screen. It keeps going back and forth. My iTunes and iPhoto programs recognize my iPod when I plug it in, but it's the iPod itself that doesn't seem to be working. I've already tried resetting it using the Power and Home button, and restoring it using iTunes. I can't turn the power off unless I reset it. It's still continuing to charge on its own but it won't let me unlock the screen.
I haven't dropped it so I don't know why it's like this. I've just had this replaced literally a month ago, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Anyone experiencing this problem or know what to do?

Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Why is firefox so insanely slow, sticky and sluggish?

As I'm typing this in firefox the letters are popping on the screen about a good 20 plus seconds later. I like a lot of the features it offers but my God it is so utterly, insanely and maddeningly slow, sticky, sluggish, torpid and might as well toss in the entire thesaurus.

Hi Greg,
Have you tried emptying the Firefox cache? If not, In Firefox, from the Tools menu, select Clear Private Data. Make sure Cache is checked, and then click Clear Private Data Now.
Have you tried trashing the Firefox app and downloading and reinstalling Firefox? Make sure and save your Firefox bookmarks: Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks, under active bookmark manager, file-export.
Also, anytime apps slow down even if it's just one, check your free drive space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, press Command + I that will prompt the Get Info window. Click
the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available Minimum drive space shouldn't less than 15% of the total drive. Some users say 10%, some say 20%, so I aim toward the middle. If indeed your short on drive space, transfer files to an external source.
Also, try running Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions.

Why has firefox become so slow and it use to be so fast, why do pages take so long to load now.

Firefox use to be very fast. Now it takes a long time for pages to load. There is no malware or spyware. Hardware is working right. Have started using Safari to get the speed I use to get before, but I miss Firefox. I disabled all my addons and plugins and still at times it reminds me of dial up. I have a cable connection of +15 mps. I also constantly clean my cache so it isn't that. IE is much, much faster as well. I have totally uninstalled it and reinstalled it as well, but it doesn't help.

Maybe it is a problematic add-on? At the top of the Firefox window, select Help<Restart With Add-ons Disabled. This will start Firefox in safe mode. If you notice anything is faster, than chances are the problem you were having was an extension. Disable all of them, then begin enabling them one by one. Restart each time you disable an add-on. If you notice Firefox is slow after enabling a certain add-on, then, problem solved (hopefully).
Another thing you can do is install FasterFox, a helpful add-on that increases the speed of Firefox. Download here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fasterfox-9148/
