Firefox is totally slow and unresponsive

• 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!

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• 30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?

  Hello.
  Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
  The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
  Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.

  I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.

• Firefox is very slow and lag for most of the sites I visit, cannot figure out how to fix.

  It started about a month or two it y a. almost all Web sites that I visit Firefox lag or stalls pure and simple script error messages, giving me the advice (not responding) to the top of the page or do not respond.

  I tried all suggestions that I found in help, including "Firefox uses too many resources", "Firefox crashes or does not ', and 'Unresponsive script - how to fix.

• 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.

• Computer performance are slow and unresponsive in the middle of the running applications

  Original title: Volsnap error, VSS, registry handle leaks, the drivers won't load is not etc.

  Little by little over the last few months, my computer has been slowing down, suddenly "not responding" in the middle of a program and a few other oddities.  I can't identify when this started because he was progressive.  I had to replace an old drive SSD C and when I did, I also bought a new copy of Windows 7 Prof 64 bit SP1.  Drive C is now SATA 6.

  Specs are adequate, CPU i7 930, 16 GB ram, 2 7200 1 TB WD drives each, 1 WD 'green' 2.5 SATA 6 GB, an Intel SSD SATA2 M225 and a Corsair Force SATA 6, which is the 'new' drive C.

  Hello
  The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

  Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

  Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

  I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

  I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

  I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

  Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

  Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

  When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

  Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

  I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

  Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

  Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

  Thanks again.

• After upgrdes Firefox crashes, is slow and pages Web do not load or do not work properly. These sites work in other browsers.

  I used FF for years and until the recent updates had no problem. Since upgrades FF is unresponsive or crashes frequently. Do not load pages or if they do not load they cling just forever. I went through the info on the help available and the proposed resolution has failed. Until upgrades FF for me was the most stable browser option.
  I use this for work and do not have the time for questions, in that I continue to run and having to use two browsers is stupid.
  Help is appreciated.

  OK, a few reports of incidents that have been submitted are blocking flash - which will be difficult to resolve because the plugin is like a black box. There was a flash adobe released update today, then you could see if it can improve things: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  with respect to the Web sites of hanging: have you tried other standard advice as clearing cache & cookies and firefox in safe mode launch remains to be seen if the problem persists there as well?

• The sound in Firefox is very slow and in other browsers is very good.

  Dear Sir / Madam,.
  I have problems with my sound in my box. It is very slow in firefox so that in other browsers is very good. The problem is firefox, but I don't know exactly how to fix it. This problem started one or two days ago, when I started my youtube and the sound was very slow. I tried with google chrome and the sound was ok. And I tested with Windows Player and it is ok as well. Only with firefox, I hear the sound very badly (slowly), I like firefox and I don't want to give up on it. So please help me with this problem.
  Thank you very much

  If it is low volume in Firefox, you may need to increase the volume for Firefox under Windows. Please see that.

• 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!

• 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

• By reducing the window of Firefox, it totally disappears and cannot be enlarged again.

  After an unknown crash of Firefox, I restarted Firefox.
  The button appeared in the tasbar, but the window was never to be found.
  By clicking the button did not help.
  I used the windows Task Manager to maximize the window, which worked OK, but...
  When you click on the button 'size down' (upper right button medium), the window disappeared again and could not resurrected again in the normal way.

  So for now I'm stuck with a maximaized window, and I can't resize and move more...

  Sincerely, hope you have a solution...

  Best regards
  Lody Claessen J.

  Many thanks for your info.
  I have sort of solved the problem in a different way.
  I am now using "Pale Moon" and since then I have not seen the problem again.
  I'll upload the file proposed, just in case the pale Moon has the same problem.
  Best regards
