Why is Firefox so slow following the last upgrade and doesn'y open some websites or display graphics in others?

Pre=update Firefox was a faster and more reliable browser than IE but since this recent upgrade there are pages I visit regularly that are not loading at all. To check if there is an issue with a site I switched to IE and the page loaded immediately. Many sites I try to access with the updated version will not display graphics and since these are often online stores it makes the christmas shopping impossible with Firefox. At the moment IE functions on all these sites, it may not be my preferred browser but at least it works!

Thanks to "itsme95" - I found the resolution to the problem was to completely uninstall Firefox, all add-ins and extensions, reboot and then re-install firefox from a download from the mozilla site. All the pages that would not load before now load quickly and correctly - so the issue was in the automated update. A lesson learned for me is to reject auto-updates and when ready download the files myself.

  • I have updated firefox 2 times since the last upgrade, but when I open it I still get the message "You are not on the latest version of Firefox Upgrade Now". I have downloaded and installed it so I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    I am running Windows XP

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

    my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                
    iOS: How to back up                            
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Firefox crashed down many times (6-7) and doesn't open anymore giving me a warning sound each time i try to open it any suggestions?

    I'm using firefox (now 27b2) having many tabs opened and i got used to the fact that many times crashes down ... each time i restore the session and it starts again ... but yesterday it "died" on me. Each time i'm trying to run it i get a warning sound and firefox refuses to open. As far as i remember i didn't install any soft lately ... but right before it's death, my pc was getting frozen and need it reboot ... that happened 3-4 times and then firefox "left" this cruel world. I run S&D, Malware bytes, Avast IS ... found nothing. Tried to open it in safe mode unsuccesfuly getting the same warning sound. I decided to uninstall it (Revo uninstaller) and used Ccleaner to wipe the leftovers then i tried to reinstall it but when running setup i get a message says "File corrupt" and everything ends here. I tried firefox 26 stab and it worked like a charm but the question remains the same why the beta version refuses to run and/or to be reinstalled ... If there is someone out there (I'm sure there are many...) with any suggestions or advices i would be very grateful ...Thank you all...

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox has recently started locking up whenever I try to open some websites, and it then starts to hog computer resources by going up to use 50-60% of my CPU where it typically uses 5-15%.

    I have had issues within the last three weeks or so where Firefox will lock up when accessing websites like deviantArt.com or Facebook, and sometimes even Google searches. When trying to load these sites, sometimes the program locks up and starts using 50-60% of my CPU and sometimes a steadily increasing amount of RAM. The only way I can fix it is to go into Task Manager and kill the program, then restart Firefox. This isn't always a fix, either, as sometimes the same exact problem immediately occurs when I reload Firefox and have to kill it again through TM. I typically have four to six tabs open, and have never had issues with Firefox like this before the approximate date of the 17th of September. Could this issue have been caused in the more recent updates?

    try this:
    For me the solution was the network.http.max-connections setting. Lowering this setting from it's default of 256 to 32 fixed the issue. If you haven't tried changing this maybe give it a go by typing about:config into your address bar, then click on the network.http.max-connections setting and changing the value to 32.

  • Everytime i open some websites, it displays the page for a while then load to another blank page.

    hai. i need help. and just for heads up, i;m not computer/tech savvy.
    i dont remember when this problem was started (maybe around 2 or 3 months ago) but everytime i opened some sites, the page displayed for a while then it reload itself and shown a blank page. the link is still the same with the link i tried to access, it just keep loading and shown blank page till it stop loading. refreshing the page wont help. usually i need to click 'Back' then while it shown the page i click 'X' to stop the page loading, so i can see the page.
    but if i need to download files, stopping the page wont make me able to downloaded the files since the page didnt fully loaded.
    the websites i encountered this was (so far) :
    - Indowebster (download page)
    - wiki.d-addicts.com (a wikipedia kind of page)
    - photobucket (just encountered this today)
    - and 1 or 2 other sites, i forgot.
    but i can access all those sites just fine with IE. I also able to access it in Mozilla thru my work computer. at first this dint really bother me as i can just click 'stop loading page' or found another download sites for downloading. but as today i experienced it with photobucket 9which as far as i know didnt happened before) it made me worry that soon i would experiencing this with another sites too.
    editted to add info :
    i already clear cache and cookies. also disable all extensions in my add-ons. from some discussion page, many of them found that this was caused by Real-Player. i have uninstalled Real Player and have disabled the Real Player Plugins long before this problem occured. so i dont think Real Player was the caused.

    hi.. actually before i was afraid to update anything other than anti-virus, since i read many people seems updating something and turns out they got malware/virus with it.
    but i have update it to Firefox 21 (the newest version it seems) and didnt encounter any problem again. and hope not. it just the new version disable my orbitdownloader. any suggestion to bring it back? (or should i post new thread?)

  • Why is Firefox so slow after the upgrade to OS X Lion? Safari opens pages immediately, like Firefox on Windows, but on Lion it can easily take up to 30 seconds.

    Running OS X Lion 10.7.1 Mac mini early 2009, 4GB RAM. No other problems except both Firefox and Chrome are incredibly slow opening web pages when compared to the same two browsers in Windows or to Safari in OS X.
    This happens whether other applications are running or not. Internet speed has not changed (tested 6 Mbps), not using proxies, etc. Yes, I did test after Quitting all other apps. It makes no difference.

    I run very few or no extensions with the exception of Java and Flash. I never, '''NEVER''' use stupid toolbars. The problem with FireFox on OS X Lion seems to be related to the OS. The speed of my Internet connection never changed and it continues to be fast for all of my computers, both Mac and Windoze 7.
    If you change your default DNS on the Mac to something like the IP address of the Google DNS servers, FireFox and Chrome will run at normal speeds. If anyone needs help with this, please post another message and I will post instructions.

  • One of my apps is "waiting" for an update.  Its been "waiting" for 4 days.   It wont delete (so I can re load it).   Sadly its not in i tunes as I put it on after the last sync and it wont for some reason sync either.   Any ideas?

    One of my apps (actually on my daughters i phone 5) has been "waiting for 4 days to update.   Rebooting doesnt cure it nor does trying to delete it - it wont delete.   I have looked at her i tunes account but she hasnt sync that for ages and the actual app isnt in i tunes but just on the phone.  For some reason the syncing isnt working either in realtion to this app. There is adeqaute memory - good strong wifi signal.   Any ideas??

    Download the app on iTunes under her account (you've already paid - you won't have to again), then sync the app across to the phone that way and it should clear it up.
    It's possible the app is too large to do over the air and it started on wifi but wasn't able to continue and got corrupted.

  • Following the latest upgrade my playlists disappeared - I do not have a playlist option on any menu.

  • Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

    I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

    That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
    You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

  • When close firefox and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today

    I use firefox to work. I'm web developer and in the firefox have instlalled 3 complements and 8 plugs.
    When use Firefox, and in different tabs open: GMAIL, web normaly, other web, google, conection with my server plesk, ...
    Normaly use 6 to 8 tabs in differents sites, some moments firefox run very slow, at the moment, in one web, it stop, dont run and response.
    Than, I close firefox, pause 10 seconds to firefox service stop and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today.
    Sometimes, it even opens popups that had been closed for some time ago, sometimes it crashes.
    In the same day, it success two or three times.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Having trouble with firefox since the last upgrade

    Since the last upgrade to firefox on the 17th jan it will open up an initial tab but wont open any subsequent tabs. if I click on a link or one of my favourites it just seems to sit there going round and round and not connecting. I have never had any sort of problem with firefox before and don't want to uninstall and reinstall in case I lose all of my favourites. Can any one help?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

  • Why isnt "the last roundup" and "hearts and hooves day" avaliable for download itunes?

    Many bronys from around the world may know this already, but the 2 episodes: "the last roundup" and "hearts and hooves day" are unavaliable for download in the itunes store. and for people who bought the season pass, like me, are alittle ****** off that we're not getting 2 episodes that we payed for to get. so im asking: why the heck were the episods taken off in the first place?! (and i know why "the last round up was taken off for the stupidest reason: derpy talking. i mean, COME ON! its not that big of deal.)

    OK - are you saying that the tracks following the "missing" one have been renumbered (i.e., if the missing track is #7 that those that should be 8, 9, 10 are labeled as 7, 8 9)?  Was the "missing" track previously present and correct, or has it been absent since the album was added to your library?
    The most likely cause of what you're seeing is that the "missing" track is in your library, but not where you expect it to be.  There are several scenarios in which the metadata (or "tags") that iTunes uses to group songs into albums can be modified, without you necessarily realizing that its happened.  If you search your whole library within iTunes, looking for the song by name, does it turn up anywhere?  If not, can you find the file (probably .m4a or .mp3, depending on source) for the "missing song"?  The exact name may vary but it will probably include "last night on earth" as part of the file name.
    For this specific example, is the album on you've imported yourself from CD, purchased from the iTunes Store, or from some other online source such as Amazon?

Maybe you are looking for
