Firefox slows down to a crawl while the sync of bookmarks

Whenever I add, modify, move, or delete a bookmark, Firefox slows down to a crawl for a few seconds, whereas Sync does its thing. I know that Sync is the question because I added the sync icon to the toolbar and see it light up and spin and Firefox is unusable whenever I have change a bookmark. This is probably because I have a ridiculous number of bookmarks: probably in the range of 10-20 000.

Despite these problems, Sync did a good job of synchronizing bookmarks between my computer and makes it easier for me to finish my work, so I would like to continue using it. My bookmarks file acts as a search engine mini for the things that I found useful/interesting. deletion of bookmarks or using a very stripped down bookmarks file really does not solve my problem here.

I already googled until exhaustion, and set services.sync.autoconnect to false in: config, but that didn't seem to do anything. This solution might work but is not very handy: http://superuser.com/a/818726/362951

Is it possible I can turn off Auto-Sync synchronization after each change bookmark? I'd like to be able to synchronize ONLY when I click the 'Sync' button in my toolbar in FF.

Sync chooses when synchronize based on a combination of the last hour of synchronization and the amount of change that has occurred. You can actually turn off the synchronization (except you can still manually synchronize) by changing these values.

1. go into "subject: config.

2. Enter "services.sync.syncInterval" in the search box. It's the amount of time (in 1/1000 of a second) that synchronize waits between synchronizations. If you want to sync never synchronize after a while, change for something big like '999999999999999999999999 '.

3. Enter "services.sync.syncThreshold" in the search box. It is the amount of change that must take place between synchronizations. 300 represents a bookmark and is also the default, so by default, sync will sync whenever you add a bookmark. If you want to synchronize only after 2 bookmarks, change it to 600, etc.. If you want to never synchronize, also change it for a very large number.

Note: there is always a possibility sync may synchronize automatically some time, but it is extremely rare.

  • Firefox slows down for several minutes, as if (possibly), it seems "reoganise".

    Hello!

    Every once in a while, Firefox slows down a lot, the use of the CPU (for Firefox) exceeds to 95pct and there is a lot of drive actuvuty. Then after a minute or so, it starts again to normal.

    What does Firefox do? Is this normal/expected behavior? 'Help' Firefox if it needs to have something cleaned?

    I use Archlinux.

    Thank you

    Some quick ideas (in the order that I would try them):

    • Clear your cache. It is possible that some of your cache files are corrupt and Firefox chokes on them.
    • Try to disable the Flash plugin. My experience with Flash on Linux has been less than stellar, and I would not be surprised if it causes problems. If it turns out that the Flash is the issue, you should try grabbing the newest alpha/beta 10.2 and see if that fixes it.
    • Try to open Firefox in safe mode. Which will disable your extensions and many custom settings.
    • Try to start a new profile (be sure to keep the old). There could be something wrong with your current profile (which contains all user-specific data).

    It will obviously be a pain to test if it happens only once a day or two, but that's all I can think about. Best of luck, it attaches, and with a little luck, someone else will have a more specific patch.

  • Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

    After FF4 update, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has several on this animated gifs, firefox slows down a lot. The CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.

    It is not only large animated gifs, but it occurs also on the forums that have animated smileys. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 neither another browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without modules or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a new facility. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite now with FF sites, without my pc slow everything down.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

    Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4, and disables hardware acceleration.

  • When I open too many windows, Firefox slows down

    I use Firefox for ever and I am currently using Windows 7 64 bit. As far as I know, that nothing has changed on my end, but Firefox started running slowly after opening the windows of. How I usually use the program and have done for years, is to open pages in a lot of different windows and close them as needed. This does usually cause no problems and I can leave the program running for days at a time, works perfectly well.

    Last week however, something changed. Now when Firefox starts up first, it works very well, as expected, but then after a period of time, usually in a day, sometimes within a few hours, it starts sensational "gunked upward." At this point, when I try to load a page in a new window, instead of load instantly, there a second or two, during which I can not move to any other Firefox window, but all other running programs work very well. This State continues and grows slower and slower to load new pages, until I closed and reopened Firefox, then the cycle repeats.

    Again, this is a new situation, my normal behavior would not normally cause this kind of slowdown even after a week or more of continuous service. I ran a control of viruses and malware, without success control on either and other programs are not affected. I tried to restart as well, but the problem came back shortly after. I also turned off most of my modules, including those that have worked well for months or years, and still no change, it slogs always down after some time. My Firefox is also currently up-to-date, of course (27.0.1).

    What is going on?

    OK, I put some time in troubleshooting and think that I thought about it. After going in and out of safe mode several times, I reduced to a problem with Adblock Plus. With him in the distance, I could open a ton of windows, with it on this subject would begin to slow. A quick workaround solution was that if I went in the menu of the Addon whenever he began to slow down and disabled Adblock and transformed then turn it back on, it would reset the downturn, but I went to their own support site and came across people with the same problem solved by picking up a beta version of the addon. Since the installation, I got no problems.

  • HP 8600 does not print, be slowed down or just sits in the queue

    The printer will be good for about a half an hour, then it will no longer print anything.  Documents are sitting in the queue, and the status is "printing" or "slowed down".  He's going to stay like this all day.  If I try to delete the print job, he's sitting there like "deleted" and I still can't print. I have uninstalled and installed the printer, restarted my computer, connectivity is fine, all on the printer and wireless reports were very good.  I was on the phone with HP, they could not understand (and been disconnected thereafter).

    After a few strokes more I finally spoke to someone at HP that solved the problem, had to manually enter a new IP address in the printer, it seems to have fixed everything!

  • Slow down gradually by typing in the text block

    I read all the other threads regarding typing slow in InDesign, but I had not anything the problem that I am facing. My problem is that typing becomes gradually slow when you type in certain blocks of text, that is, it is fast when I start typing in the empty block, but as the text block is filled with the text, it becomes slow.

    I use two types of blocks of text on each page of my document: one with no style whatsoever and the other with a style of object including a border, two rounded corners and margins. This gradually typing slow occurs only in the second type of text block.

    I hit a relatively small (7 MB, less than 300 pages), file text without columns, cross-references, paste them from other applications, connecting blocks of text, or any of the other usual culprits for slow typing I've read about. Nothing else in InDesign is slow, including typing in the other type of text block (without borders, etc.).

    Any ideas?

    Its most likely the rounded corners that is causing the slow down.  Not sure how RADIUS helps you, but having to calculate how to keep the text with rounded corners is much more expensive than when the text block is a simple box.  A suggestion to help alleviate the problem is to break the document by chapter upward, so that you do not have the end of a chapter that connects the beginning of the next.  When you have a large number of pages of text all flow from one page to another, editing text in a page means that all of the following must be recalculated.  Break this cascade of changes from one page to the other will help with performance.  A disadvantage is that you need to be careful and watch the overset text or blank pages that passes at the end of each chapter.

  • Firefox slowing down to stop (for &gt; 1.5 min) to load the site and freezes any Ubuntu 11.10, modern system.

    Hi guys,.

       I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 since it was beta with no problems.  I have been regularly updating everything, and keep a clean track with sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get clean.  Even with all updates, firefox was running completely fine until just last week.  If an update came out in the last month, that may be it.  My updates are up to the month at least.
       As soon as I open firefox, it pretends to load, before freezing (and turning gray).  At that point, my entire system hangs.  I have updated everything.  I have apt-get remove firefox'ed, apt-get autoremove/clean, then apt-get install firefox'd.  I have started in firefox -safe-mode with all options checked.  I have, of course, rebooted several times.  I have run firefox without, then after deleting every, add-on.  I have even searched for log files in .mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports, but found none (a bunch of tmp and extra files).  I've tried starting firefox under Ubuntu classic instead of Unity.  These are all my online searches have found.
       I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on Intel i7-960 in an Intel DX58SO2 with 8gb mem, and EVGA superclocked pci-express video adapter.  nvidia is properly configured.  No other program at all hangs but firefox, which is why I'm here and not in the Ubuntu forums.
       Thank you for your help.
    

    I followed the advice of one of the posts
    here , to rename the folder .mozilla and it worked. I would like to add, however, that it's very embarrassing and all your custom settings and bookmarks and Favorites etc. will be wiped. I would like to know what causes this, and my satisfaction with firefox is declining.
    Still better than IE...

  • Why my PC slow down to a crawl when VMware Player is the suspension to the .vmem file?

    My PC becomes almost unusable when VMware Player prepares his State record to .vmem file. VMware Player is delegate the task to C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe process. When we look in the Manager tasks, I see that the CPU usage is just 5.10% and the memory usage is around 40%, which is normal for me. When I open resource monitor, I see that ntoskrnl.exe is written extensively to the VMware .vmem file. From writing to the disk stops, my PC immediately snaps back to normal.

    I scanned the disc for errors and the performance issues with HDTune, I tested the RAM with memtest. Everything is normal, no errors, drive performance is approximately 110 MB/s. I have antivirus (Avira free) and I don't know that there is a legitimate ntoskrnl.exe Windows process. With the exception of this problem, my PC worked rock stable for three years.

    Why write on a hard drive that is not my OS drive affects the overall performance of a PC so and what can do to solve the problem? Also I don't understand, why suspending the hard .vmem file so long?

    My virtual machine has 8 Windows as a guest operating system. It has 4 GB of RAM. After I suspend the virtual machine, my host PC is trolling for about 10-15 minutes which seems far too long a little writing 4 GB of memory to the .vmem file status. I also tried VM VirtualBox with the same guest OS and 4 GB of RAM and it suspends a lot sooner and don't drag my PC after that. Also if I move the files in Windows Explorer on the same drive, it has this issue. It seems so VMware Player or ntoskrnl.exe is something too aggressive.


    Here are the specs of my host computer:

    CPU: Intel i3 2120

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67A-USB3-B3

    RAM: 8GB

    Hard disks:

    OS and system disk - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port

    Data disk (which causes the slowdowns): Seagate ST31000528AS 1000 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port

    OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional with SP1, updated regularly

    With the virtual machine off (non-suspended), try adding the following configuration option to the .vmx file:

    mainMem.writeZeroes = TRUE

  • Just reset Firefox. Lost my ability to maintain the entire visible bookmark list while jumping from one link to another. I can find this capability?

    Now, when I have a list of bookmark at the screen and I hit a link, the list disappears. So to jump from one web page to another, I must continue to do extra clicks for once more than the list of visible bookmarks. This wasn't true before. Is there a way to return to the previous situation, I found better?

    The drop-down list of bookmarks is supposed to disappear when the user clicks on a link; also part of the display of the web page will be hidden behind the list...

    Visible bookmarks on the left side of the screen at all times open the bookmarks bar. To open or close the'Sidebar Bookmarks use CTRL + B. If the sidebar is open when you exit Firefox, it should be open when you restart Firefox.

  • Mouse on movieclips a lot slows down to a crawl

    I have a system where hundreds of similar clips ('parts') can be dragged around in a region ('dragArea') of the mouse. I have performance problems.

    When you start to drag a piece, it jumps to the top of the depths, it seems above all others. All parts are dynamically created with createEmptyMovieClip. They are all attached to the dragArea.

    My problem is that the movement is very slow. The slipped part updates of position very rarely; only when you stop moving the mouse. I think it's just because I have so many movieclips, but if I attach one of the pieces to _root and drag, then, he hangs out very quickly. That is, if I drag the outside of dragArea, then it is fast. But as soon as I have move it on dragArea, then it becomes slow.

    This suggests that the Flash made some redraw complex when I drag a piece on dragArea. I've tried to set cacheAsBitmap to true for dragArea, but that has no effect.

    I also tried to reduce the number of parts one or two. This makes everything fast again.

    Does anyone know why it would become very slow when you drag a piece on dragArea that contains many other parts?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    have you tried upateAfterEvent while dragging?
    a lot of times that softens the considerbly of animation...

    could it be that his calulating too deep because of all the other parts?
    maybe try to set the depth of 0 (zero) for the dragged object, instead of getNextHighestDepth...
    If that's what you do... =)
