• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  I hope this helps!

• When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

  For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

• Thunderbird is slow and unresponsive

  Thunderbird is slow and unresponsive. It takes about 2 minutes for the email to be delivered, then another 1 or 2 minutes to open emails once they come in. How solve this problem and get the software working correctly? I use a 64-bit system with a lot of treatment, ram and video card in high quality. The problem seems to have started when I deleted my registry errors.

• Since the update to 6,18 windows is slow and unresponsive

  Hello. Since I updated to 6.18 last my Win8.1 (once a day) was sometimes slow and unresponsive, even if the Task Manager indicates that nothing is happening. It takes the Task Manager, 8 seconds to appear. Here, I see that Skype does not respond and when I kill it then system responds once more.

  When I restart Skype I 1/5 chance of having the problem again, so I reboot several times to make it work. When there will be a version 6.18 fixed?

  I can't downgrade because of the stupid idea of "autoupdate" - I can not connect to any previous version, for example, 6.16, even though I have disabled AutoUpdate updates. Who invented this stupid idea of "you cannot log in to the version you want to use?

  It seems I have a solution!

  I found somewhere here on the forums a Council disable smilies in messages to increase performance. And indeed 3 days my Skype does not block or slow down the computer, even though I've updated to the latest version of Skype.

  Finally I have the solution!

• Computer slow and unresponsive

  original title: behave differently

  Sometimes the computer behaves differently... as applications closing automatically etc, all of a sudden, unresponsive, slow down and the problem persists until I reboot...

  my computer is completely virus free and is brand new...

  This can be caused by many things, but if the computer is new while I'd take in warranty service or replacement if they cannot solve the problem (for the seller or the manufacturer or anywhere where a place to make a claim).  What you do yourself could void the warranty and you don't want that.  It could take hours to check to try to find this kind of problem and we can still find empty - there is no simple solution to this type of problem.  It will be very difficult to identify and fix yourself, even with our help and general troubleshooting procedures.  It might even be a hardware problem, in which case a replacement of the device problem or the computer under warranty is justified and that you must consider in service anyway.

  If it is brand new, not to take risks and take advantage of the guarantee, there is always.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• 38.0 update is slow, often unresponsive and crashes my computer. Is there a known problem?

  Updated Thunderbird automatically updated last week. It crashed my computer (not only the program) whenever new e-mail notification area came. I have disabled notifications. This helped, but if my computer loses its connection to the internet, Thunderbird crashes. The program is incredibly slow and unstable. When I click on an email, I find myself with parts of two windows. Finally, the system catches up and the screen looks very good. If I try to write an email, I get again some parts of two windows until it catches up.

  Thunderbird has been among my favorite of all time programs. I have used it for years and have never had any problems until this update. Help!

  Theresa, sorry for the delay. KenHowieStudios said

  Thank you for your suggestions. The problems disappeared when the computer (Windows 7) and Thunderbird have started/opened in safe mode. What should I do next?

  Theresa, sorry for the delay.

  My ipad is really slow, not in response to normal speed and lose battery charge soon as usual!

  CAN HELP SOMEONE, IT WILL BE APPRECIATED!

  Thank you

  Try to reset all the settings in the settings under general app and in the right column under restore.

  Try stories reset and delete/reset the caches in all web browsers you use.
  If you use Safari, these features may be in the application settings under Safari.
  Other browsers have their settings inside the running application itself.

  If your iPad has been activated for iCloud, in the application settings under iCloud, to the right, under iCloud Drive, type in iCloud drive and make sure that Safari is off to save data from Safari to iCloud by car.

  Also, under iCloud in the application settings, in iCloud Drive, turn the feature off saving for all other desired apps DO NOT the data automatically on iCloud drive.

  If you are using Safari is always causing issues.
  Try changing / using web browser third another, different.
  I do not use iOS Safari too much more because I found it cause me headaches on some Web sites, regularly, to visit.
  I commonly use another third party browser, perfect browser (there are others that can suit your style better web browsing, so look all first to see what third-party browser may work better for you) and I have never experience many questions that Safari was originally.

  In the application settings tab general, right under the spotlight sesrch, try disable the search under the applications who really don't need a research, as some games, remote controls, apps that are really useless to be searched, etc., in order to reduce the list to Spotlight search.

  Try to turn the reduced movement.
  This is found in the application of settings in the general tab, in the left panel.
  In the right panel, look under accessibility, look to reduce the Motion and turn this feature "On".
  You should see a significant performance increase on all models of iPad 2, 3 and 4.

  In the application settings under the general tab, in the right column, search background App update and enable this setting to "off".

  If you find my phone turned on, you can try to disable in the application of parameters to changes in performance seemif.

  Try a reset of your iPad by simultaneously pressing buttons Home and sleep/wake button until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.
  Good luck!

• Windows becomes slow and unresponsive more frequently.

  Windows XP has become slow or not responding more frequently because I downloaded from the Garmin site. I deleted the download of Garmin, but there was another program that downloaded (something net?) at the same time that Garmin cannot name so I could remove. Frequently, I get a message that windows is increasing memory etc which has not happened before. How can I know what programs I need to run my computer and which are not necessary if I can delete them? I think that there are additional programs running that I am not opening, think computer do it himself.  Please help me.

  Hello

  Many things contribute to this slowdown to a computer, it could be hardware or software related.

  Method 1:

  Computers get slower for various reasons: files become disorganized, unnecessary software consumes resources, readers of network unused slow start or too many programs run automatically at startup. Larger, serious questions can dramatically too slow down your computer's performance. You may have a virus or have need troubleshoot clean start.

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.

• Aspire One D255E, Intel Atom, Windows 7 Starter: Slow and unresponsive

  All,

  I work on this Netbook for my parents.

  It has been used VERY little since.

  has all updates installed,

  There is NO program installed outside the factory except for MS Security Essentials and Maliwarebytes programs.

  That said, it is VERY SLOW and sometimes UNRESPONSIVE to keyboard shortcuts.  I know that this is not a high level of PC, but can I do to speed it up if we can search, eBay, Facebook and other sites.  No hard calculations are required, just basic of simple functions.  It's just to slow down now and basically no one will use them.

  Thank you.

• iMac became very slow and unresponsive

  Hello

  I have an iMac which, in the last two days, suddenly became unusably slow. Almost every click brings up the spinning beachball even just after a reboot. iTunes cannot play a melody without pausing every minute or two. Same Safari is really slow, so I have still not tried more demanding such as Lightroom.

  Its an iMac mid 2010, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD with 305 GB free. Im running El captain, 10.11.6

  Any ideas what could be causing this or what I could do to remedy the situation? IM thinking I have to go through the pain of wiping the hard drive and reinstall everything. But I'd really rather avoid because I was planning on getting a new iMac when they release then them and I don't want to go through all that process again.

  I hope someone has an idea of something I could try before doing this?

  Thank you.

  Andy

• Firefox is totally slow and unresponsive

  Hello!

  I need a little help. My FF is totally slow. I don't know where is the problem. I opened only a few tabs and it is loading too long, maybe 20 seconds or more and also "not responding" for a few seconds. I've never had these problems in a way. FF soon several times in 10 years of my use of this browser, but it's extreme to me. I tried to get rid of all unnecessary and extensions plugins, it helped for a few days and come back. Then I tried, for me the last solution, restart/reset FF by default... also helped perfectly, but only for a few days and come back and here I am, frustrated ff. This problem I have on more computers and PC is fairly new. 2 x different HP ProBook 455 G2 with AMD A8 APU and 1 x HP ProBook 450 G2 with Intel i3, if it might help. Plugins and extensions are only basic as I say, so this may not be a problem in my opinion.

  Thank you very much for each answer.

  OK just new version of 42 issues resolved...

• Firefox very slow, slow and unresponsive on Windows 8.1

  Basically, everything is very slow and each action takes a long time to complete - tabs, switching takes about half a second to a full second (5 seconds if there is another tab currently loading / refreshing), by clicking the Center button of the mouse takes more time, about half a second to a second for the exactly scrolling of arrows is displayed same thing with regularly by clicking on the scroll on the right, Firefox bar pretty much freezes for about a full second before reacting to the click.

  I tried to run Firefox with addons disabled, which did not help, which I did not know that he don't would be not since this problem started before I even had the addons - pretty good the second, I installed Firefox.
  I have Firefox running on an SSD card and a new installation of Windows 8.1. I tried the two Aurora and nightly (currently using every night), both are just as slow.

  I have not tried to reset, because once again, the question was already there during my first installation of Firefox.

  Figured out what the problem is - it is a software of DisplayFusion I use to support multiple monitors which is causing the problem. I'll just get an alternative until (if ever) the question ceases to exist.

  Thanks for the help.

• Firefox is slow--particularly unresponsive in private mode

  Firefox is slow to respond. Particularly bad in private mode. Have tried all the recommended fixes. What now...

  What have you tried?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

• Xoom slow and unresponsive liked (except fingerprints)

  My plan is to use for the Xoom is relatively casual surfing while sitting on the couch. I expect to an experience free of pain. I was looking for, just for a restaurant on OpenTable reservation for tonight and throughout the experience was terrible. I use the full web version of the site not the mobile version. My Xoom is connected by a strong WiFi signal (-60dBm) with internet connection DSL 5 Mbps. It is not the internet connection, it is not the WiFi. Something wicked comes with Android Honeycomb because the browser is painfully slow.

  I try to scroll to the bottom of the page and all I get are commonly the fingerprints on the screen. I click on a checkbox once, twice, three times, and perhaps eventually a checkmark... In the end, I gave up and I went back to my laptop.

  I checked the memory usage: the browser uses 107MB of the 250 MB used. There are 250 MB of free space. What the hell is happening? Something is consuming a lot of calculation cycles. Y at - it an app out there that can show how busy the two processors are and what happens?

  I wish there was a terminal with a CLI I could run HTOPS in...
