Firefox gets super slow when I highlight text.
The browser is lagging when I try to scroll upwards or downwards. It's even worse if I double click to highlight; only, it freezes for a few seconds. I think it started after the last update.
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 without failure.

I have windows 7 and my connection is super slow. All is well until what once I typed my password. It takes well over an hour for my icons on the desktop to appear, and I couldn't wait long enough to open the start menu.
I'm sure that that my a problem related to Windows Explorer as all of a sudden, this problem started when Windows Explorer crashed and I had to reboot. Safe mode works quite well.
Edit: the startup list with msconfig.exe in safemode made my working computer in normal mode.
Hello!
You can check the programs that start with Windows and turn off those unnecessary.
1. start the Task Manager (press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC), go to the Startup tab, click right in the name column and in the menu shown tick 'Command line '. In the list, right-click on the programs you want to run at startup, and then click on disable.
2. start msconfig.exe, Startup tab and disable unwanted programs.
3. you can also look into the registry and delete the entries for the programs:
Start-> regedit.exe
Look under hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
and
under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and delete the entries you want.
4. After doing the steps above & reboot, start the Task Manager and look in the performance tab how high the CPU activity remains in standby mode; If the CPU activity is high, you can look in the processes tab to find the process that is using the most CPU.
5 make an antivirus scan.

When I open about 15 sites in firefox 6.0 and 6.0.1 with Morning coffee add-on version 1.35 there not too slow to browse all the it takes about 30 min or more some time never load sites
but when I do in firefox 5, 5.0.1, or 3. XX is the browsing speed is good and take about 2-3 minutes to completely cover each of them.
I think that there is a problem with several tab navigation in firefox 6 or maybe a security that allows to slow to browse many sites.
Help, pleaseFirefox 8 solve this problem. !

Firefox is very slow when you use RDP
Firefox is fast when you use Windows directly. But when you use RDP it is very slow. For example, empty new tab takes about 6 seconds to open. The RDP connection is fast and another response programs immediately (for example the same page navigation in IE is fast).
What is the problem with Firefox?Could it be the graphics hardware acceleration?
You will need to probably restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.). On the remote system:
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
Then restart Firefox. Does make a difference?

Today when I log in to Facebook through Firefox, it opens only 2 or 3 posts by the news feed (it happens very often, but not always). As I can remember, I've ever known such a problem in the past, with the exception of the rare and occasional accidents which were solved instantly. I am facing this problem for 5-6 months.
Whenever I face such a problem with Firefox, I log in to Facebook through Google Chrome to check if my internet connection works correctly and have found no such problem with Google Chrome. I also checked to see if this problem is caused by an update hidden applications or anti-virus automatic scan, but found nothing. I also tried "Refresh Firefox - discount to zero and settings modules" and uninstall and reinstall but the problem was not solved. All solutions, please?
Please make sure that there is not a problem with any acceleration addons or material by trying Safe Mode:

I have a suggested internet high speed through Comcast, and my wired computer is get 6 download MBS. My wireless laptop is close when I'm a few feet from the router, but decreases significantly when I move out of the room - up to 200-300 KPS.
I can't even watch a movie from netflix on the floor without stopping and buffering several times in a 1/2 hour show.
Long-story-short: I expect too much on this Wireless N technology, or is there something wrong with my router, connection, configuration, etc. ?
The strenth of signal on my laptop shows excellent quality for good, but the speed is terrible.
Any suggestions / advice?
JL
It could be due to the wireless settings are on your router has its default value, which is the reason why you might be faced with the problem. I think you need to change some settings in your router...
Connection to the router configuration page and then click on the tab below the Strip Radio Standard - 20 MHz and the Standard 11 - 2, 462 GHz channel change and wireless... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...
Then click on the "Advance wireless settings" sub-tab and below change the tag to 75 interval, change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 and click on save settings...
Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect...

Illustrator SUPER SLOW when working with texture.
Hey people,
This is ridiculous. Illustrator goes EXTREMELY slow EXTREMELY, infact, unusable when I use ANY kind of texture vector. Here is an example of a texture:
https://DL.dropbox.com/u/5269445/grunge_texture_3.EPS.AI
I tried simpler and it don't matter.
I use an imac 3.1gh wih 16 GB of RAM.
Not a problem here or the other.
Of course, there is more than 247 000 paths.
If you raise HAVE is better?

Point of the track is super slow when parsing
Hi I have a little problem with the Track Motion function. Whenever I press the button 'Look forward', it starts monitoring, the eye in this case, but very very very slowly. I look at the various tutorials on youtube and all follow them pretty quickly. I am tracking 7 seconds of video, but it takes about an hour or two.
Video: mp4. h.264 (Iphone 6 clip) of 1920 * 1080. However, I tried to restore to .avi or .wmw, but still too slow.
My PC: Win 7 x 64, Intel i7 4970 K, 16 GB of RAM DDR3, Gtx 970
Why is it so slow?
Depends on your system and how you set up the tracker. A screenshot of your configuration of monitoring would be useful. A lot of noise, movements of camera, followed by the major areas, research areas, slow down all the follow-up.

I can't access the function in the panels on the right. Open the control panel but I can't click on anything.
I can also change the font size, etc. after Select test.
I have reset the preferences, but does that to let me use my tool of choice now.
You set the font size of Windows at 150%. Set it to it's default of 100% or disable aero.

Curiously, an error just for me that was not there until tonight (I have nothing new installed on my firefox). When I try to highlight text on any page why it automatically scrolls to the top? Very frustrating problem, no matter whether on gmail on an email, facebook or a web page regular when I try to select my browser text is now scroll upward on its own literally as soon as I'm going to highlight, that means I end up selecting everything on the page when it scrolls upward. Can anyone shed some light on how I can solve this problem suddenly?
Thank you
