  When I open a web page any using firefox, its ok for a few minutes, then he opens another page saying it is redirected for no reason at all, the homepage remains open, but the other page start for no reason at all in another tab

  It's very consistent, he arrives a few minutes? In this case, I suggest this test:

  To find out if one of your extensions is the culprit, could you test mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

• Hi all. How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?

  Hi amireos,

  Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

  If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

  If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

  Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

  Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

  Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

  See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

  Let us know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• I just downloaded the latest version on my Mac and takes 15 minutes to load Firefox (before that it would take a minute). Is this new version buggy?

  Immediately after I've upgraded to the new Firefox, it took 15 minutes to open a window. I can't even force quit it takes any active memory. None of my favorites are showing the toolbar or the menu drop down and after about 15 minutes, I get a script error is not generated by a script from Mozilla. Even after the error, I can't do anything in the window of Firefox!

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• Why dreamweaver takes five minutes to load when I open while other applications are not slow at all

  CC of Dreamweaver takes an age to open and to close time. In fact, I sometimes force a fence in order to connect the PC off.

  It could be a caching issue.

  Try to create a new site definition called "blank Site".

  Create a new empty document, then save it.

  

  With the empty Site loaded in your files Panel, close and reopen DW.

  What's not faster?

• Gmail in firefox will not open the file selection window when adding attachments, no errors, just nothing. Chrome works fine on the same computer. Firefox is updated

  When you try to attach files to a message using gmail does not. I click on the paperclip icon and no windows open, show no errors, it just sitting there? I can't join the messages as expected using Chrome & gmail on the same computer.

  I cut and restarted the computer without modification. I current firefox [v31] and the computer is a dell desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2 build 6002.

  Thanks for your help

  Google has fixed this problem with attachments in Gmail, on their side, so this should work without the workaround to allow pop ups for mail.google.com.
