Why is Firefox getting worse an worse with every update???

Bugs (like the "Download&Crash"-bug) are never fixed, but a lot of useful addons do not work suddenly!
It has become a nightmare!
You shold take more care of these problems.
I'm no longer willing to make my yearly donation under these circumstances. Sorry...

ReneMacon, I am sorry to hear about the frustration. Some add ons become incompatible after updates. However contacting the developers of these add ons can further investigate the issue.

Why is Firefox now wiping my profile with each update?

When I upgraded to Firefox 30.0, all of my data was wiped: history, add-ons, bookmarks etc. It's not just that Firefox is using a different profile - my Profiles folder had nothing in it.
Exactly the same thing has now happened in upgrading to 31.0.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Ever since installing on my 64bit Windows 7 install, Firefox has continually gotten more sluggish as time moves on, hangs for 10-15 secs at a time and just gets worse over time with the updates and everything.

Ever since installing on my 64bit Windows 7 install, Firefox has continually gotten more sluggish as time moves on, hangs for 10-15 secs at a time and just gets worse over time with the updates and everything. It was fast when I first installed, but over the last six mos has slown to a crawl.

upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and try

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image? It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

The question mark in the box, if it looks like this: means that safari cannot find the linked image. On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario. Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.

Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad?

Why do I get a blue box with ? In Safari with my iPad? It appears to be where pictures should be. Very annoying when trying to read through an explanation of something and I get this dang blue box.

It's usually some graphics element that the iPad can't handle. Maybe it's a flash image, maybe it has another protocol that the iPad just can't display. NO way to say for sure without viewing the same page on a computer then checking the file type.

Why does my iPhone 4 get slower with every update? (iPod app special)

When i tab ipod and then movies i almost have to wait longer than with my old iPhone 3G. And it get worst with every update. ***? I am thinking about downdating to 3.something then my iPhone 4 was really quick.

Here is my update on this issue. This isn't normal. I spoke to several tech support people, sr tech support people, etc and we found out that somehow my battery was damaged during the update. They found this out by sending me a diagnostic file via sms. I was sent into the apple store to replace my phone. I had it a little under a year, with 40 days left on my warranty. When I went to the store I was able to show the rep at the store the issue described in this thread. He just scratched his head. It was a quick swap. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue. I tried everything. Removing itunes_control files, several restores, starting from scratch. I could duplicate the issue every time. It's a bug and I'm sure it will be addressed. If you are still under warranty, I would recommend getting it checked by an apple tech to see if it messed up your battery and perhaps get it replaced. Battery issues on these devices cause lots of problems.

Why should avoid OLTP compression on tables with massive update/insert?

Dear expert,
We are planning oracle OLTP compression on a IS-U system, could you tell me
Why should avoid OLTP compression on tables with massive update/insert?
What kind of impact on the performance in the worst case?
Best regards,
Kate

Hi
When updating compressed data Oracle has to read it, uncompress it and update it.
The compression is then performed again later asynchronously. This does require a lot more CPU than for a simple update.
An other drawback is that compression on highly modified tables will generate a major increase in redo / undo log generation. I've experienced it on an DB where RFC tables where by mistake compressed, the redo increase was over 15%.
Check the remark at the end of Jonathan Lewis post.
Regards
http://allthingsoracle.com/compression-in-oracle-part-3-oltp-compression/
Possibly this is all part of the trade-off that helps to explain why Oracle doesn't end up compressing the last few rows that get inserted into the block.
The effect can be investigated fairly easily by inserting about 250 rows into the empty table - we see Oracle inserting 90 rows, then generating a lot of undo and redo as it compresses those 90 rows; then we insert another 40 rows, then generate a lot of undo and redo compressing the 130 rows. Ultimately, by the time the block is full we have processed the first 90 rows into the undo and redo four or five times.

My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Slower with every update!

Has anyone else had problems with their Apple TV getting slower with every update. Mine takes forever to scroll through my library.

haven't experience anything like that with mine.

IPad Folders VANISH and Apps scattered with every update or restore

With the introduction of folders for iOS there has been an issue since DAY ONE! New devices (upgrades), restoring from backups, and iOS updates ALL screw up your folders. I have spent HOURS sorting though my 400+ apps and putting them into folders (BTW the current iTunes UI does not work well when you have MANY apps...I have a feeling that all tests are done with a handful of apps and does not reflect the average user with hundreds of apps)
With every update or restore, the Folder information is all lost and apps are scattered onto 20+ pages of apps. Some folders remain but all but 2 apps remain in them. Some pages are created with only 2-3 apps on them. No mater what I do, there is no fix. Someone on the Apple Care Senior Tech Support said it happens to her all the time and that it is "expected".
I know this isn't NEW to anybody because the Apple support community is LOADED with similar complaints. I have included links below. It is obvious that it is a BUG with iOS and needs to be addressed please. I was told by the Apple Care support person that the only solution would be to bombard you with the complaint. It seems like support has been bombarded all ready yet there isn't any communication going on between the two units.
Please ADDRESS. I will not install any more updates until the problem is fixed.

Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

Why is Firefox getting WORSE with each new version? The new version eleven crashes my PC about every 15 minutes! Back to I.E.!

The new version 11 crashes my entire PC causing a total restart about every 15 minutes and I have tried everything to fix this problem with no luck so I have now went back to I.E. aat least it doesnt crash and i can watch Youtube vids without hanging up every 30 seconds!
Each new version of Firefox seems to be WORSE than the one before, crashing my entire system is my biggest issue at this point! Some of the older versions seemed stable so what and why has the developers tptally ruined this browser? I am not the only person with these problems I see forums full of users complaining so why isnt the developers putting out a stable browser?
Firefox needs to GET ON THE BALL and get a stable browser out for all of its lowal users this is totally rediculous! I am VERY PISSED OFF!

Whatever you do, don't get version 12 because it's just as bad as the rest. Not responding, not responding is what I see most of the time. I'm tired of looking at that blue circle spinning.
I thought Firefox is suppose to be tops but I've had more problems with it than I had with IE. It literally takes minutes for some pages to load. Tabs and pages open by themselves from who knows where.
The updates and new versions go from bad to worse. I scan my computer several times a week with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntispyware, thinking that it might help and it doesn't.
This is pathetic. Firefox, please get someone in there who knows what the heck they are doing. It seems like instead of bug fixes, someone's putting in some bugs.
No one should have to repeatedly do this:
1. Restart your computer
2. Clear your cookies and cache
3. Update your plugins
4. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode
5. Troubleshoot your plugins
6. Reset your Firefox settings
7. Reinstall Firefox
8. Make a new profile
Other solutions
Check for conflicts with your Internet security software
Scan your system for viruses and spyware
Check your hard drive for errors

Why does Firefox 6 struggle and stutter with the new 4Od?

Why does Firefox 6 struggle with the new 4Od?
OK, so here’s my question. I have been using Firefox for years; it’s a wonderful piece of software and an excellent browser. Recently I’ve been having problems with plugin-container.exe. The general advice has been to make sure that Flash Player is up to date (10.3.183.7) and that Firefox is up to date (6.0.1). I still have problems, particularly on YouTube and the new 4Od site, so much so that I used about:config to disable “dom.ipc.plugins.enabled”, I set the value to false. Plugin-container.exe was, prior to this, hogging all the CPU it could get its grubby little mits on, this no longer happens but whilst watching 4Od Firefox eats my entire CPU and the rendered video stream is filled with stutter, almost like frame dropping. It’s fun to watch Firefox struggle, but its no fun trying to watch a program. In desperation I downloaded and installed Chrome. Watching 4Od my CPU usage dropped from 98-100% down to 82%. I don’t particularly want to use Chrome but I do increasingly use my browser to watch streaming video content. Incidentally, if I use Firefox to watch the BBC Iplayer I only burn 35% CPU using Firefox. Oh, and I’m XPSP3, up to date.
How do I solve this stuttering problem?
Is this a codec issue with-in Flash Player?
Does 4Od use some sort of unsupported codec?
I can’t be the only one out on this limb and I know the problem solvers like a good challenge. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.

Worse 3g service with new update?? Anyone else??

I was getting great speeds before the 2.0.1 update on 3g. normally around 700kbps using this test site. http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html. im in detroit suburbs where 3g is really great. i was so thankful not to be one of the people not getting good 3g service
now after the update, (imnot sure if they're related) im getting speeds much worse than edge. my wifi and edge are the same though. my bars on 3g are still always five bars. anyone else experiencing this? should i do a restore to the old 2.0? is that even possible?

I wouldn't normally consider doing this but I would like to put 2.0 back on the phone - according to Google I need to 'jailbreak' it first but I'm not sure if it will be possible to become legal again and 'de-jailbreak' after the 2.0 software restore. Is it allowed to ask such a question in here?
