Why my Firefox 10.0 on Windows 7 is slow?

Hi,
I am using Firefox 10.0 on my Windows 7 PC. It is getting slower day by day. There is a delay in typing, and also the reaction time has increased when I click on a button or a Link?
What should I do?

Hi velocity88,
We have a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start troubleshooting section for slowness issues]. You should start there. There is a lot of good information.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Why is Firefox launching unstopable replicating windows when I download files?

    Why does Firefox launch replicating windows when I download?

    This can happen if the Firefox application is selected to handle that MIME type.

  • Why does Firefox not open my windows and tabs from last time until I have tried starting 3 or 4 times?

    I have this problem with opening Firefox:
    My Startup options are set to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    However, each time I start Firefox, by clicking the icon in the Taskbar, it opens with a single blank tab.
    I repeat this using "Open New Window" and when I have up to 3 windows, all with single blank tabs open, I close them all. Once more I use "Open New Window" which only then opens with my windows and tabs from last time.
    Naturally, this induces initial panic each time, because I dread the thought of losing all my current tabs.
    What is going on here?
    How can I fix it?
    < Firefox 27.0.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium.>

    This started happening to me with the upgrade to v30. Previously, new windows did the proper thing of showing previous tabs/windows.
    I have history on, not in private mode, and have cleared cache.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

    I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
    Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
    This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
    C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why is Firefox 20 on my Windows 7 laptop not showing all my My Yahoo toolbar icons?

    I just downloaded Firefox 20 and it seems to have bugs. I noticed that my Yahoo toolbar is incomplete and is missing several icons. My computer uses Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the same problem using vista home premium, 32bit. It's like yahoo toolbar isn't functioning properly either. When I click the search bar normally it highlights what is in it, it's not doing that. Can not click on the toolbar to edit, nor can I edit through the menu. When I go into yahoo toolbar settings, it's absolutely blank! Some of my icons have disappeared.

  • Why does FireFox keep changing the window when clicking on another program??

    I upgraded to FF 8 recently. When I start it and go to, say, Gmail (in window A) then open another browser window (window B) to go to, say, Facebook, if I click on another program such as Live Messenger or even a reduced window of another program the window in FF always changes. I.E., I look at window A while B is open. I click on the message box from Live and the window changes to B. I click on A to get back to that window then click on the Live box again and B pops back up. I can't get it to stay on A no matter how many times I try.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why does Firefox NOT synchronize with Windows Outlook e-mail on the SEND, REPLY, MOVE, etc. line?

    The line of above choices is mostly unreadable. Only a small portion of the top of the choices are able to be read for selection.

    A possible cause is that you have increased the minimum font size.
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

  • Why does firefox keep allowing popup windows for Local Yellowbook Pages by Yellowbook even tho I have popups disabled on my computer?

    this pop up comes up any old time, not when i'm clicking another link or anything - i can just be reading a page, or be on facebook, anything, and it comes up and suggests something out of the blue, like "search for your local state college doctors on yellowbook". (example: here is a URL it just brought up in a popup while i was just reading facebook: http://ypeek.yellowbook.com/yellow-pages/?what=doctors&where=state+college%2C+pa)
    I definitely did NOT download anything from Yellowbook and in fact NEVER use it, so that makes this very strange. Also, my brother-in-law (a computer programmer) ran software checks on my computer and cleaned everything up, and there were no viruses, etc. but this still happens.
    can you help or advise? thank you!

  • Why does firefox 4 move at least twice as slow as chrome and IE9

    Seriously. Stopped using firefox last fall because of speed issues.(previously my favorite browser). Now I've placed all 3 browsers on the screen and loaded several different bookmarks. Chome hit the site in seconds, fully loaded. IE9 just behind(milliseconds) But FIREFOX(oh my dear firefox.....) at least 2-5 TIMES as long.

  • Adobe Acrobat Plugin in Firefox 29.0 for Windows 8.0 does not print documents. Why?

    I opened a document in Adobe Acrobat plugin version 11.0.6.70 in Firefox 29.0 for Windows 8.0 and attempted to print the document, but all I got was a blank sheet of paper. So I saved the Adobe document to my hard drive. I then opened that Adobe document in Adobe outside of Firefox. Adobe printed that document just fine. Firefox was just updated to version 29.0 a day or two ago. Prior to that I did not have any problems printing Adobe documents from within Firefox. Why did the Adobe 11.0.6.70 plugin not print the document from within Firefox 29.0?

    hello, you might not actoally print with the acrobat plugin but with the built-in firefox pdf viewer which unfortunately currently has this blank page printing bug - this is investigated by our developers. in the meantime you could use a third-party pdf plugin that you can enable in the firefox ''options > applications'' - scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

  • Why does Firefox keep freezing/locking up system (Windows 8)?

    I just recently decided to switch to Firefox from chrome because I was sick of chrome's adblocker never working. Unfortunately, whenever I use Firefox, it will randomly freeze my entire system so I have to do a forced shutdown by holding the power button. When it freezes I can't even move my mouse let alone open task manager to end Firefox. Any help is greatly appreciated because I really like Firefox but it is annoying having to keep restarting my computer every 20 minutes or so. I notice that usually freezes when watching videos on YouTube, although not always. I am using Firefox 30.0 with Windows 8
    System specs:
    Dell Inspiron 15r Special Edition
    Intel Core i7 processor
    Windows 8 x64

    2GB AMD 7730M

    Something similar happened to me at one point, and I found out that one of my RAM chips had gone bad. The way I found out was from scanning with Memtest86. Its an ISO file that you print onto a CD, then the computer will boot from it. After replacing the chip it has been running smoothly ever since.
