Why is the newest version of Firefox 75% slower to load all pages than my previous version?
I downloaded the newest version of this browser Monday or Tuesday, and ever since it replaced my previous version of Firefox, my webpage loading has been like molasses in January, I sit and wait and wait and wait! It's infuriating, this sudden logjam of browsing is pushing me to install Windows Explorer, with all it's humongous security holes! I need to go back to my previous Firefox, but since this new version has erased that one, I don't know if I can.
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
* [[Server not found]]
Check and tell if its working.

I have tried everthing! Firefox is slow to load web pages,images,videos,
don't know if these are getting thru. it took 11 minutes for my e mail to load. then another 5 to set up a support account. REALLY!! and still no help. This is insane crazy. For three days now been doing this.
Note that Firefox 36 has been released officially.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Where do I download the newest beta of Firefox Sync?
My PC at home is running the latest beta of the extension on FF 3.6. My work PC however is running the latest stable build and is thus incombatible with the newest beta. When I tell FF on my work PC to check for extension updates, it doesn't find the newest beta for Firefox Sync. Is there a page where I can directly install it from?
The latest beta version is 1.5 beta 6, this is available from https://mozillalabs.com/sync/
You need to use the Experimental version link underneath the large "Download Sync for Firefox now!" link. -
In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?
''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above) -
my PowerBook-G4 operating system software - Mac OS X 10.5.8 - does not meet minimum requirements for downloading the latest version of FireFox ... is there an UpDate to a newer version of my op.sys. software, Or, what is a better choice of an UpGrade to a newer/different op.sys. software ?
Thanx!The best maintained PowerPC browser at the moment is TenFourFox:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
It is a Mac port of a newer version of FF thatn any PowerPC Mac can support natively. It runs, looks and feel like FF.
I found some add-ons that helped TFF with speed issues. Pleae see my post in another PPC forum:
FYI: Speed-up for TenFourFox on PowerPC -
Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.
Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

Ever since my system installed Firefox 3.618, web pages are very slow to load, switch pages, gmail is slower, and when it first comes up, there is a funny black area on the menu bar where I can barely see the links to click for gmail, etc., but the black bar disappears when it switches to a new page. I have windows xp, and want to downgrade to the version before 3.618. Thank you.
go to oldversion.com for a previous version.

I downloaded version 4 of Firefox this week and have been having problems since. Firefox is now extremely slow at loading all web sites. Trying to view PDF files from web sites crashes Firefox. I'm getting lots of unresponsive script messages. How can I fix this?

Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
== URL of affected sites ==
http://I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'... -
After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.Look the SOLUTION CHOSEN:

and ''John99'' reply down the chosen solution.

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available? I work at a University and we're evaluating for online courseware - my last experience with Captivate was 5.0. Anyone else experience this with the trial download?
Hi there,
There is no difference in terms of usage and features between a trial version and a licensed version.
Could you tell me do you get any specific error message when it crashes, or does it crash while using a particular feature, or is it random?
Can you also try with a different user account (admin) on your MAC, check if it behaves same there?
Thanks. -

When I up-load to the cloud to convert to Word, then down-load, all kinds of distortions happen. Paragraph structure, anything hand written on the document, etc., etc., gets changed and/or gets distorted. WHY?

Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect. This happens with ethernet or wifi.
Timothy ..
Contanct your ISP for support but keep in mind, if your Mac is running v10.5.8 as your profile suggests, that is a very outdated OS X and you may have issues loading graphics at this point.
If you are using Safari, empty the Safari cache then quit and relaunch Safari and try loading an image.
And make sure there's enough free space on the disk to load images.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
That will open the Get Info panel.
Check Capacity and Available. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
