New installation of Xubuntu w / Firefox on my PC. Everything works VERY slowly, even typing and cursor movement. Is - fixable?

With this new installation of Xubuntu (which is supposed to be quick enough) with Firefox included, all transactions processed through the browser are incredibly slow: typing, go to other pages or Web sites; move the cursor is painfully slow, and sticky with time delayed reaction and excessive results. I have the maximum encryption and security; This could be the problem? Note: I noticed that type in this window is normal...? E-mail is correct, also.

Thank you very much
Bob

Glad your problem is solved itself, and I see that you have also your problem another (1012424/questions/1012424). Don't forget to update Firefox, it should be 31 Firefox now or if Xubuntu is a bit behind perhaps still Fx30 but certainly not Fx28.

Be aware that you will see big changes in Firefox

You mentioned

why would they include an unsupported version of Firefox in the same package with the newest version of an operating system?

Ubuntu and Xubuntu major versions come out every six months. Firefox updates every six weeks. Probably the first thing to do after you have installed a new version of X / Ubuntu is updated the software, also immediately before the upgrade to the next Xubuntu.

Versions of Firefox & Ubuntu/Xubuntu

I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for most. 14.04 is also LTS, so you have to stay on that instead of update in due course to 14.10

I use their distro Canon of construction of Firefox since their deposit of Aurora. Who is behind Mozilla versions datewise (I also installed mozilla versions), but it uses the package manager, so no need for manual updates of Firefox. You probably don't want or need to do that, but if you do not want to install this as a browser extra is available for 12.04 & 14.04 of

Synaptic (graphical APT front-end server) package manager is therefore longer in default distributions of Ubuntu/Xubuntu, you could add Synaptic (included in gDebi in Xubuntu 12.04) otherwise use the "Software Center" to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date

I know that some earlier versions of Ubuntu to (less LTS versions) the canonical versions of Firefox did not update, but I expect the center of software or package manager to be able to keep Firefox reasonably aware and do not drop by more than one version.

    I am very new to dream. I created a simple site that worked very well. I tried SEO booster and was checking on things different (for example Goigle webmaster). I don't know exactly what I did, but now when I type in my site it tells me that the page cannot be opened because it was redirected too many times...? Help, please!

    Let me add some details to the choice in the scenarios you have for the use of domains.

    The areas are to simplify all kinds of activities on the Internet for users. Instead of addressing your email to go to the software from e-mail server to a computer with the IP 113.78.59.238 number, users can simply run their mail to "hannah" @ "gmail.com" or go to the website to "gildedgraces.com". This makes things a lot easier for users, but requires a little more difficult techniques backstage, because Internet computers connected and hardware (servers, tablets, phones, refrigerators) have only single numbers, not names. So, how internet needs to know which computer manages all emails for "@gildedgraces.com", and where physically this site 'www.gildedgraces.com '? This is where the "Domain Name Servers" kick in. They maintain long lists of these domain names, with references to the IP numbers correct and up-to-date. In this way, technicians can also easily Exchange computers, servers, connections, where a site is moved to another host, or when a server suddenly collapses. These things will happen, things have to change. They want to update certain IP numbers in the list on the DNS servers. I have it?

    So in order to get a Web site running, you know where your domain registry database is guarded and kept safe, and where your Web site is physically located.

    Note the difference between DNS (or servers) and the service (or Web servers) throughout all the instructions and documentation.

    Now, have a look at this PDF that was returned by Brad, in his response above.

    The domain name can be registered at any domain provider and the registry itself is not always need to reside there. You could relegate (you might say "move" or move) the registry for the DNS to another provider (like BC) service. In such a scenario, he must tell the provider holding the credentials of your registry, to redelegate it in British Colombia. That's what the article 4 in the PDF file. And of course, BC DNS service can internally so all applications for this field to their own web server.

    You can also choose to keep your current domain provider maintains the registry, but that their DNS servers before any request of this area on the web servers of British Colombia, where your site is published. This is typically a necessity for registrations from non-American, since many extensions of national domains (such as .nl and .de) can be recorded by suppliers outside of this nation. So the registry simply cannot be moved to an American company (it's a legal thing). In such a situation, article 6 of the PDF comes into play, describing what BC would normally internally: to the domains of the physical location of the Web site.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    I think that because I have a new reader that adobe thinks, I have a new computer. I bought the 27 "Mac new on Ebay and it came loaded with the software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6, but Adobe says that it was not valid. (I've owned CS2 and CS4 now CS6 that came preloaded on the Mac by the seller who told me that the software has been registered for the Mac?

    I'll re - download the backup to the original location but this time (I still don't think that it will work with Adobe.) What can I do about it?

  • Is it possible to stay out of the update string, so I can stay on an earlier version of Firefox as he continues to go very slowly?

    Firefox has recently been running very slowly. He uses a lot of memory. I have to close and restart one or two times a day, so I was wondering if there is a way to avoid updates and continue to use an outdated version of Firefox?

    Your stay with an outdated version of Firefox leaves you open to specialize, known security holes, but also a potential for bugs and other problems. I'd love to help you solve your problems with Firefox, so you can continue to enjoy and use the latest and most secure version!

    First of all, I would like to uninstall all the addons unnecessary and undesirable. Often, issues in Firefox are not at all the problems of Firefox, but are rather a buggy or an addon of misconduct.

    In addition, read the article on Firefox is slow.

    If you can not Firefox any faster, please let me know.

    To change your preferences to update Firefox, read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Updating%20Firefox#w_how-do-i-configure-update-31optionssf32preferencessf . But remember, this is NOT recommended and may cause more serious problems.

    on your desktop, go to firefox > options > synchronization > configure firefox sync > I have an account that will give you a 3 x 4 character code that you will need to enter your android device to complete the process.

  • Hello, I installed Firefox 10.0. Everything worked fine before, but every time I enter a URL that I have to use the mouse and click on the arrow at the end because hitting enter no longer works now in the URL field.

    Hitting enter does not work in the URL field. Instead, I have to click on the arrow at the end of the URL field with the mouse. The problem came just after the upgrade to 10.0. I have the Yahoo toolbar & AVG toolbar (I got two toolbars already though). The fields of research both of the toolbars work when you press on enter. Just not the URL field at the top of firefox.

  • New installation of ff15 crashes always in under a minute

    After way too much nagging, I improved a product that worked, ff3.6, one who is not, ff15. It upgraded 3 plugins.
    Now when I open ff, no matter if I try actually use or just sit and look at a blank page, it crashes in about 30 seconds.
    Try to go there, more than 20 times on a new installation!
    Using XP. But this gave me the excuse to try Chrome and I found that it is very stable and much, much faster. And of course, I use Chrome now to send this message.

    OK, I discovered that kdump.dll is also used by Kingsoft PC Doctor. I have disable Kingsoft PC Doctor, and I was able to use Firefox normally.

    I have similar installation in the office where I use Windows 7, so far no problem...

    Microsoft Office installation
    OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1
    FF: 15.01
    Kingsoft PC Doctor 3.7, Antivirus 2012 (Cheetah) SP5.0

    Homepage:
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 operating system
    FF: 15.01
    Kingsoft PC Doctor 3.31.9 (with security option construction in)-last

    Since you the Kingsoft has been installed before.

    It thus means that Firefox may have to change its use of kdump.dll

  • I got the new version 8.0 of firefox today and now when I put a new URL in a tab open or type a URL in a new tab, nothing DON'T get PAST! Help!

    Since I installed version 8.0 of Firefox earlier today, I was unable to get new Web pages by typing in their URLs. If I click on a link in a tab that was opened before the installation (and was called by restoring the Session after I installed the new version) - say in one of my messages in the Hotmail or one with another showing - Web page tab all right and I go to the new page. Even if I click the back arrow: I can go back and forwards to pages that have already been opened in the previous session.

    However, if I type a URL to a new site in the address bar, OR open a new tab and enter a URL here... When I press the Enter key sometimes NOTHING AT ALL. Same thing if I click on the thumb to the new address arrow that appears to the right of the location bar - nothing. This has happened over and over again.

    What is going on? If I use IE, everything works very well, there must be something in Firefox. I need to just go back to the previous version of Firefox I had before this last update? As it is now, I can't go to all the pages that I haven't looked in my session restored, which is not only frustrating but makes Firefox pretty useless for future use. Alternatively, if it is another problem, any ideas on what and how to fix it? Thank you.

    Time for a bit of troubleshooting.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...
