Why is the New Firefox so slow and why is it "Not Repsonding" most of the time?

I upgraded my home PC to Firefox 4 and it is slower than Firefox 3, it is often not responding causing wait times. I never had this problem with Firefox 3, I have not upgrade my work PC to Firefox 4 for this reason. It's supposed to be faster but it's not.

Try Google Chrome. That one is really fast.

  • The new firefox 33.1 and 34 are not compatible with my school Blackboard account

    I have used Firefox since it was first introduced. I prefer it to MS Explorer. However the new Firefox, 33.1 and 34 are not compatible with my school Blackboard account, so I had to delete Firefox and use Explorer. I would prefer to use Firefox. Is an earlier version (Prior to 33.1) still available?

    It's been a few years since we have had many questions about Blackboard compatibility with Firefox, but overall the problems in that past had to do with either Blackboard not updating in a timely manner ''[which I don't think is the case any longer]'' OR the school wasn't running the latest version of Blackboard software ''[which considering the current state of many government budgets, may be the case now.]''.
    ''It appears that - http://www.blackboard.com/ - is a new or greatly modified website, as the bookmarks I have saved for reference pages on their website come as 404, so I can't find the information I have used in the past.''
    My advice is to install Firefox Portable ESR to your hard drive for use at that Blackboard website and continue to use Firefox 34 for other purposes. The "portable" version will instal and use a Profile that is totally separate from your regular Firefox installation - so you can have two separate Firefox versions installed without any problems.

    '''ESR''' stands for Extended Support Release.

  • I just downloaded the new Firefox 4, rebooted, and viewed you videos re the new look and new features. Problem is, my toolbars look no different than before. The new icons you talk about do not appear on my screen. Please advise. Thank you.

    The Firefox icon is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, it does not apply to Windows XP users.
    To have the Firefox icon instead of the Menu Bar:
    View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu Bar.
    After that, click on the Firefox icon and you'll have the Menu Bar appear again.

  • The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

    THE NEW FIREFOX DOWNLOAD IS STUCK. WHAT CAN BE DONE TOO COMPLETE THE NEW DOWNLOAD in English

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • After installing the new firefox i found that mega manager is not compatable is it ever going to be

    after downloading to the new firefox 5 i found out that my divx plus web player and the divx hiq and the megavideo mega manager are not compatable my question is why not and when will they be compatable and if never what is the risk of going back and using the older version of firefox as i really need to use the mega manager to download movies and videos thank you john

    If you go to the following link, you can download "Mega Manager Integration V1.1" for Firefox 5. I've tried it and it works perfectly.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mega-manager-integration/
    Download file and go to your add-ons. Select the "Install Add-on from File" and select.
    BOOM! Updated to a functioning product again.

  • I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now it will not open.

    I opened my iTunes a day ago, and the "Download new version" came up.
    I went and downloaded it and ever since iTunes will not open no matter what, I have tryed many ways to open it and it still wont open.
    When I go to log off, shutdown, or restart my computer, it will not. I can only shut it down and I have to do it maunally. But if I wait around for it to shutdown, ect. a "Ending Program" annoucement comes up and has the iTunes icon, but for the name of the progrom it is only a bunch of little and big boxes.
    I do not know what to do, I have unistalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed it again and still nothing. I even tryed to do the "Repair" that comes up when you already have it installed and still nothing.
    Can anyone help me? Or does anyone else have this problem?

    hey peeps i got a possible answer to our prolems. i contacted apple support and this is what they gave me:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    In Windows, some background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications such as iTunes and QuickTime Player from working correctly, opening, or even installing. You might be able to resolve these conflicts by disabling some items using the System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG) in Windows XP. This utility is not included with Windows 2000.
    Important: Disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers.
    1. On the Start menu, click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
    2. Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK. The System Configuration Utility opens.
    3. Click the General tab.
    4. Select the "Selective Startup" option.
    5. Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
    6. Click the Startup tab.
    7. Select the "iTunesHelper" and "qttask" checkboxes in the list.
    8. Click the Services tab.
    9. Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
    10. Click Disable All.
    11. Select the iPodService checkbox in the list.
    12. Click OK.
    13. Click Restart.
    If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.

    now...it worked for me, and after i got iTunes to work i went back on the msconfig and i enabled all of the third party system services and start-up items so that all of my stuff worked again. read the dirctions carefully and thoroughly before using these directions. i was being helped by a professional and i am not taking responsibility if anyone does antyhing bad to their computer. my advice is you should set a system restore point before making all these changes.hope it works for ya guys!!!

  • Just upgraded to version 11 but WHY does every new version get slower and slower!!

    Its way to slow to browse the store! I really hate Itunes, can you download from the store using an alternative software?
    If not is there a better alternative to this rubbish? I cant be doing with spending ages with the software hanging and hanging while I try to browse the store.
    I'm using ITunes on a Windows laptop

    Thank you for proving my point brilliantly. For the moment, I shall keep my rantings and the difficulties to myself because you obviously can not handle a bit of user's frustration. Too bad really, that you can not see it as an opportunity to make improvements and be a Hero in the process. I did say that Firefox works much faster, why did you not take that personally as well? ............. Another day, Slick ! ...........

  • Ever since i downloaded the new firefox last month i cant watch movies or live tv like the news and before it work!! can someone tell me whats wrong?

    i cant watch any kinda movies nor live tv like the news and before i upgraded i could i have even upgraded my flash and adboe and still nothing!! whats the deal?

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • New Firefox Very Slow Bookmarks all gone restore not working Can I get them back?

    Woke up today to new firefox update installed. Now Firefox VERY slow & all of my Bookmarks are gone as well as Bookmarks Toolbar empty. IE runs fast like usual, but Firefox barely loading.
    Tried Restore from available dates, but all come back unable to process.

    Some of you will want to shoot me; Mozilla may yank this reply. BUT I had the same problem for about a week, struggled in vain, poured over the help section and got 3 replies to my posted question. Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
    Want to know what solution I finally came up with? '''''CHROME.'''''
    It imported my precious bookmarks from IE and FF. I'm going to uninstall IE now and leave FF as an emergency backup browser which I don't expect to need anymore.

    I downloaded the new mavericks operating system on my macbook pro and I can't find out how much space I have left. Before the installation of mavericks, storage space left was displayed at the bottom of the Finder window.

    In the Finder, under the View menu there is an option to Show Status Bar.  Select that and you will see the info on the bottom of folders again.
