  • 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.

  • Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?.

    Prior to upgrading if I brought up my FireFox page I had a header the same as my Google Page. The new/latest FireFox Page does not have the header with the options. Those options were,Images-Videos-Maps-News-Shopping-Mail and a More option with a drop-down menu. Why is this the case?.

    ''Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?''
    I'll pass pass on the "why", although the reason given would be to improve Firefox by having a page that is on your system -- but the the content is not exactly on your system. I always find it amazing that there is anyone who uses the default home page, especially when Firefox has s builtin search bar. Even a couple of my friends who think the internet is their former ISP have there former ISP's page as their their home page.
    To restore a Google search page you can replace your homepage with http://www.google.com then you will see those Google applications at the top of the window.

    Now that you no longer have the Firefox default home page ("about:home") you had better read item #31 in the following about picking up your previous session from your history menu.
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost
    which is part of the following:
    You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

  • Why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

    why is the new firefox constantly blinking on my screen? everything else is fine but firefox now blinks and is unusable in 4.0

    Hi DGuerra, based on a past thread, the missing comments may be related to using avast! and its browser add-on(s).
    Firefox is so easy to customize that it's not really surprising to find differences between two systems. These can relate to the menu choices (orange Firefox button or classic menu bar), toolbar layouts, and of course, add-ons.
    If you have a preference for one setup versus another, hopefully these articles can equalize some of those layout issues:
    * [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
    * [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
    You can compare extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    Perhaps you can get the two side-by-side to make it easier, or to extract a text list, you can use the troubleshooting information page. Either:
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    The button in the upper left corner "Copy text to clipboard" will grab the configuration information from entire page.

  • Why does the new firefox sync not sync my bookmarks on my Iphone? The history and tabs show up, but bookmarks do not.

    Ever since I updated to the new Firefox sync my bookmarks have stopped showing up on my iphone Sync for Firefox. I even downloaded the Apollo browser, but bookmarks still are not showing. Can someone help?

    Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync, so whatever you're using on the iPhone for Sync will need to be updated to be compatible with the new Sync.

  • Why is the new Firefox upgrade incompatible with my Mac now??

    I love using Firefox, it's by far my favorite browser. But when I opened it this morning, it says I am no longer protected because of the older version I'm using. I want to download the new version but it says that it is incompatible with my computer. ?? This is the same operating system I've used and it's on the list of compatible OS....mac 10.5.
    HELP please! I miss it already!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • Why is the new ITune update slowing down my pc.

    I recently updated ITunes...It now comes with a helper exe.  Why did this change...It has slowed down my pc something terrible... I am running Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit..and never had this problem before...
    Seems I need the helper exe to access ITunes now...I do not like updates that decide what runs or doesn't run....Is there a solution to this. I have one apple product it is an IPad mini...If it wasn't for the fact that I have purchased music and apps.  It would end up in the garbage...That is how upset I am...
    If this is a way for Apple to make me want to buy their products it will not work...
    I have absolutely no problem with the ITune store on my IPad...just on on my desktop.

    Hi theresa62,
    The resource below explains the processes that are involved with the iTunes software installed with Windows 7.  It's possible to use your iPad mini without the corresponding iTunes software on your Windows computer .... but it would limit what you can do with it.  You can't sync your iPad with your computer, use iCloud services, etc. without the software.  The choice is totally up to you.

  • Why doesnt the new firefox close properly?

    My Firefox browser has updated itself to......
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16
    Since it upgraded it does not close properly. It stays open in my system processes. This has never happened before.
    Im having to select CTRL/ALT/DELETE and end the process from the windows task manager.
    Why is this happening?

  • Why is the new Safari so slow

    Ever since I updated to Mavericks, I get the pinwheel frequently in Safari and it operates slower than previously. Are others having this issue?

    First, delete the cache ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, it might be a Safari extension or third party plug-in that was compatible with the prior OS X, but not Mavericks.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • HT1355 Why is the new iOS 6 so slow on the App Store?

    Why is the iOS 6 so slow on the App Store?

    Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off &amp; on &amp; a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower &amp; hangs.
    Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site &amp; app.
    I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
    Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

    Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
    Thanks

    Thanks so much!

  • Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on web sites with a huge wide black border?

    Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

    That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).

    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''

  • I keep getting a restart box every night to install the new Firefox. Why do I keep getting this box if it's already installed?

    I've already installed the new Firefox, but every night, I keep getting a box that asks if I want to restart Firefox to install the new version. This happens all the time. Why am I getting this box if it's already installed?

    Thanks for getting back to me; i was not able to get to the computer until now.
    No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.
