I have been a firefox user for 15 years. lately my browser has become really slow and freezes everytime. my bing and google browsers are not having problems

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information such as bookmarks and History.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Also try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Hi, Over a week now, my Firefox browser has been aligning the info on the page to the right of the page. This makes it difficult to see the rest of the contents on the page. Can you help?

my money is on a hardware issue

For the last week or so I have been unable to stream anything using Safari on my Mac. Using Firefox I can; any ideas? ThanksDave

Hi RMH1405,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what kind of streaming you are talking about or what you are seeing when you try to do so in Safari. If the sites in question are Flash-based, you may need to make sure that Flash Player is up to date in Safari, as noted in this article:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014 - Apple Support

Can a subVI tell when the application it is part of has been stopped and restarted?

Can a subVI tell when the application it is part of has been stopped and restarted?
It is easy enough for a subVI to tell when it has been run for the first time after having been loaded into memory. But is there a way for a subVI to tell when the application it is part of has been stopped and restarted? Is there some property or application-invocation-specific refnum that when queried multiple times during the same run of the application would return the same value yet when queried during different runs of the application would return different values?
I don�t want to depend on anything that happens when a run is exited.
I don�t want to require code to be included in the main V
I to accomplish the solution.
(Otherwise I could, in the main VI create an un-named semaphore tied to a global; the subVI could then check the global to see if the value changed, which it would between runs of the application.)
Any ideas?

Have you tried the First Call? function? It's on the Advanced>Synchronization palette.

Over the last week my Firefox has been crashing whenever i close games and sometimes in the middle of them. What is going on??

I got a new rogers box and I had a Norton Security installed and since then the games like farmville and cityville have been crashing on a regular basis. I have called about the Norton 3 times, and i tried the Internet wireless and wired and nothing has changed so I don't know what else they can do. Is there something wrong with the flash player over the last week????

It seems to be a common complaint. Norton Security does not play nicely with Firefox (or IE).

Windows 7: Safari browser has been freezing up since yesterday when i upgraded it to the newer version 5.1

Safari's website says that its browser is for PC & Mac. When ever i'm on the bookmarks site of safari or searching the web it has been freezing up since yesterday when i upgraded it the the newer version 5.1. and when i tried to reinstall or uninstall it it tells me there is already an installation in progress when actually there is no installation in progress. And i can't reinstall it or uninstall it sucessfully. Please help i like Safari. i've made it my default browser, but since i uploaded it to the newer version it has been acting very weird.
I'd like to know what the problem is cause all the prior versions of Safari have worked with no problems. Version 5.1 is the only version that seems to be having a problem with Winndows 7 even though Safari's browser says its for PC & Mac also when i go to the installation page of Safari it even lists Windows 7 has a operating system that Safari can be on.

Agree with you but Apple people do not hear our claims...

How did you erase your account? A lot of people would like to know. No one has found a way of erasing an Apple id account.

My Ipad screen has been freezing and now the ipad will not charge

My Ipad screen has been freezing up and now will not charge

Not charging
1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

Facebook is my home page on Mozilla; everytime I go to log in, my browser has been changed to proxy. I have to change this every time in order to get face book to load; how do I stop the browser from changing to proxy?

My internet option state "do not use a proxy" but each time I go to long in on Firefox to Facebook, the proxy server has been changed to showing proxy and I can not get on to facebook until I go in and change it back to Do Not use Proxy. The problem is the setting does not stay but every time I go back to long on it's back to proxy server? How do I get it to not change???

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I have an iPad2 and have been experiencing problems since the last software update. My iPad randomly freezes and has to be shut down and restarted to move between apps. The screen also suddenly enlarges and can't be reduced in size without shutting down

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same issue of the screen freezing or suddenly enlarging. I'm having to shut down and restart as much as five or six times a day. This has been happening pretty regularly for the past week or more, but seems to be getting worse. Could it be the last software update?

Close all apps in Multi-Task Window.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

For the last 2 days, my battery has been draining rapidy. Anyone else having issues? How can I fix it.

I've had my iPhone 4S for over a year now and have had no issues. All of a sudden, two or three days ago, my battery has been draining rapidly. I am on IOS 6.01 and have been for about a month. I have now turned everything off, including iCloud backup. Appreciate knowing if anyone else is having sudden battery draining.

A rogue app can sometimes drain resources when it has a background process running. Usually this can be cleared with a simple soft reset. Have you tried that? If so, have you installed any new apps recently? You might want to try uninstalling the last new app or two you added to see if that makes any difference.

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and for the last few days, it has been itslow to load anything, especially web pages. I get the rainbow swirl when loading or reloading. I guess I am spoiled. Up until now it was lightening fast!

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages. I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it. I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:

For the last month or so, skype has been breaking at the drop of a hat.

Hello, I've been becoming increasingly frustrated with what appears to be the rapdily increasing instability within Skype, mainly through straight up crashes.
At seemingly random times, the slightest thing will cause Skype to lock up, then stop responding. On occasion it will close or give me an option to 'debug', which just opens Microsoft Visual Studio (?). However, a lot of the time it throws an error, such as every single time I attempt to change a profile picture of any sort (i.e. mine, a group's, etc.) which means I can no longer change my profile picture. While I am uncertain as to whether the error is the same every time, it is always an 'access violation', and the one that gets thrown from attempting to change profile picture is the following: "Access violation at address 005BD775 in module 'Skype.exe'. Read of address 21033000." I have the most updated drivers, tried reinstalling, have the latest DirectX and all to no avail. I am running a 64 bit version of Windows 7.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to switch to another service, but the frequency of these crashes along with their seemingly random causes, is too inconvenient to ignore. Kind regards, Taverin

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

What are all of the New Tabs across the top when Downloading Firefox it has been going on for almost 45 minutes, MAC OS10.8.2

I am down loading the new Firefox. As soon as I stated the down load I start seeing these New Tab boxes start flowing across the top of my screen. They just keep coming and coming and I don't know what is going on. It looks like my computer is being hacked. I tried to stop it and I can't. I tried to close the window and couldn't, I forced quit my computer and as soon as it comes back on it goes right back to all of those New Tab going across the top of my screen. I was finally able to get another window to come up so I could send this message.
I may not be able to get back to this page or open my e-mail so if need be you can call me at two 51-621-96 nine eight

It seems our firefox browser has been hacked

Every time we open up firefox on my husband's computer or my own, the settings have all changed. Full screen instead of regular, new tabs, and now all of our bookmarks have been deleted and have been replaced with strange bookmarks. What can we do?

Just to be clear, both of our computers operate on the same firefox account with the same bookmarks, etc.

Within the last week my firefox browser has been freezing and loading a lot of pages. Very slow. I've uninstalled, I was getting a yahoo search. I've set the i
