Why is Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 faster and more stable than Firefox 3.6.8

a)Why is Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 faster and more stable than Firefox 3.6.8.
Firefox 3.6.8 repeatedly crashes and the message details are Plugins/Plugin Basket!!!
The original Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3 is not only faster but does not crash?
b) Why are there NO security updates for Firefox Namoroka 3.6.3?

Namoroka is the nightly tester version of what will become the next Firefox release, and it is up to - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9pre) Gecko/20100813 Namoroka/3.6.9pre ID:20100813042130 - right now.
If you are having problems with the Plugin Container in 3.6.8, you will probably have the same problems with 3.6.9pre, too.
The first thing you should do is to update to the latest "86" release that came put this past Thursday.

Overall faster and more stable when starting fresh

I got tired of the slow and crashing issues after I upgraded to the new firmware and installed new apps. I decided to restore the phone to "factory" settings (1st gen iPhone). But this time, instead of restoring from a previous backup, I selected the first option, which is to setup a new one.
All the settings were reset, but I guess starting out with a new slate, everything feels much more stable and faster. Any comments on this?
I guess once in a while, it's a good idea to format your hard drive and install everything from scratch : )

Hi Thewisestarfish,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Mac is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I used SCCM to deploy Firefox 5.0 to our organization, and when I redeploy firefox 6.0 I still have users complaining that Firefox needs an admin to upgrade even though it is already at 6.0

Why is the Nightly build so much faster and has better looking features than the final Firefox product ??

The Nightly build is so much faster than Firefox, and the download feature is much better than the download feature in Firefox.

The Nightly build (22.0a1) is updated daily and has the latest code fixes and thus may be unstable. 
This version is meant for experienced testers only to check out new code and to see if it if working properly before it will be added to a release version, so it may be faster to some extend.
You should always install such an alpha (Nightly or Aurora) or beta release alongside of a the current release in case of problems (a lot of times websites may be broken).

Why does the vidio on you tube jump and skip now with firefox 4. I did not have this problem before.

The video, not the sound, skips and jumps on you tube. Before I upgraded to firefox 4, the video flowed smoothly. Why. Fix this now!!!!!

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Everytime you mess with Firefox(update it) it get less and less stable why do you keep doing it

not really a question more of a complaint.
Every time there is a new version of Firefox it crashes more and more im starting to Hate FF is ther a lite version ?
I liked the old layout and now it changed AGAIN
ok on to the crashing thing your going to tell me the clean the internet cache and clean the temp files been there done that I even uninstalled it and rip the remainders with regedit and reinstalled
3-4 versions ago FF worked well now FF is heavy and slow and not nice to use

ok on to the crashing thing your going to tell me the clean the internet cache and clean the temp files been there done that I even uninstalled it and rip the remainders with regedit and reinstalled 
Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.

Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:

Why does Firefox open with both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' tab, and how can I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page?

When Firefox loads, both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' pages open. How do I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page/tab?

Hi Sean,
Try this:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
It's a bit more "technical" than most people want, but it should work.

Unable to open firefox, tried to uninstall to reinstall and it says that firefox is open but when i check there are no apps open how do I fix this? I had to go onto internet expluerer to get here

I have not been able to get onto the internet using firefox. when I click on it it goes through the motions but nothing happens. I had to use internet explorurer to go to the net. I tried to uninstall firefox to reinstall it thinking there was a problem and it tells me that I have one or more apps on firefox open when I go to cntl/alt/delete is shows me nothing is open. I can not uninstall firefox. it is not my computer since I am using internet eplr. right now. How can I solve this I like firefox and want to continue using it but this is a problem.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I revert to the prior version 9pre-3.6.13 update of firefox, as the new oone is causing more trouble than it's worth?

The 3,6,13 update has disabled real player and occasionally locks up my mouse while in firefox. I don't see the advantages of the update if it's causing this much trouble with other software.

Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
* ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.

I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

Firefox on Windows loads the same site significantly more slowly than Firefox on Mac, across multiple computers

I'm experiencing a very strange problem where the same website consistently loads slowly on Firefox for Windows but it loads at a normal speed on Firefox for Mac. This problem occurs on multiple computers. The website is https://www.cwds.pa.gov and I'm using Firefox 26.
If I open up Network in the Developer tools and check the Timings for the page, I see that Firefox on Windows generally spends >30 seconds on the PublicHomePage.aspx file. Looking for more detail under Timings, I see that most of the time is spent receiving the file. I might be mistaken, but if the problem lies in the server sending the file slowly shouldn't the aspx file also take a similar amount of time in Firefox for Mac?
Also, I don't experience this problem when using IE9 on the same PCs that experience this problem. So far it's happened on multiple Windows computers, some of them VMs and some of them actual hardware.
I'm not the author of this web site, but I'm trying to support users who are attempting to access the site. To me it seems like something weird is going on in the Windows build of Firefox, given that the Mac build works ok and other browsers on the same computer also load the page fine. It is a government web site, though, so it could just be some unusually horrible markup causing the problem. :) Thanks!

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My fireefox icon has gone from my computer. So the only way I can upload firefox is to go into programmes and double click the firefox programme.

The icon which is on my main computer screen for firefox has gone.
The only way I can upload firefox now is to go to all programme, and double click the firefox programme.
How do I get the icon back onto the main screen so that all I have to do is double click the icon and firefox uploads?
Alsi I must not lose all my bookmarks.

go into the start menu > all programs & right click the firefox icon. in the context menu select "send to" and then "desktop (create a shortcut)" (not sure if those are the exact terms since i use a non-english os)

Why is Firefox 4 and 5 slower than firefox 3 in Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

You told me Firefox 4 was fast, so I upgraded from the latest release of 3.xx. Immediately I started seeing a pinwheel mouse cursor when I had more than about 5 or 6 tabs showing (the pinwheel is the Mac OS X equivalent of the Windows hourglass, at least in Snow Leopard). I have the latest release of Firefox 5 and I'm still seeing pinwheels.
This happens several times a day, but not every time Firefox opens. It usually takes a few minutes for the pinwheel to show up. When it gets to where the pinwheel appears to be permanent, I Force Quit Firefox and restart it, and that helps for a while.

Did you want me to re-post this in that forum or can one of the mods from here move it?

Site slow on Firefox but fine on both IE and other computers running Firefox?

Hi,
I'm having a weird problem and I don't have a clue what is wrong.
Whenever I try to load this specific website: http://motleycrewmcs.co.uk/news.php it takes a good 20 or so seconds to load, but on Internet Explorer it loads almost immediately. Now the funny thing is I have tried loading this same site using Firefox on other computers and it loads fine.
I originally had this problem with Firefox 3.6 and I tried clearing my cache, recent history etc. I then tried running Firefox in Safe Mode (all addons disabled) etc but I still had the same loading issue.
Then in an attempt to fix it I completely uninstalled Firefox, deleted the installation folder, deleted the Profile AppData folder etc and then installed a fresh copy of Firefox 4 (before installing addons): Still had the same issue.
I have since installed addons to my Firefox and this site is apparently the only one where I have this issue.
I am completely baffled as to why this specific site is taking so long to long (where it doesn't using other browsers and Firefox on other computers).
Does anyone know what might be the issue?

You're welcome.

I have three problems with Firefox 3.6.8 that 3.6.9 hasn't fixed: 1) Firefox has stopped responding to any and all javascripts, 2) Firefox won't play any embedded videos, and 3) Firefox won't let me open up new windows.

Every new link has to be opened in a new tab, or nothing happens. No matter how I try, I can't open more than one window with Firefox. Worst of all, if I surf the Internet for more than an hour, all these problems have a cumulative effect and Firefox simply crashes. I'd uninstall 3.6.9 and reinstall 3.6.6 (which gave me no problems) if I could only figure out how to save and export all my passwords and user IDs first -- that's way too much to have to input again from scratch!!

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
