Super High speed internet Time Warner installed (50mbps) but foxfire operating only at 1.35Mbps, while the internet Explorer works fine

Internet (50mbps) Time Warner installed high-speed yesterday on my computer, but when the guy left I noticed that the speed was very slow. SIS one test on speedtest.net and found I was getting a maximum of 1.35mbps (sometimes as low as .62mbps). So I had them come back and they tried all kinds of things, only to discover Internet Explorer gets 50mbps, so it's something with Foxfire. What would it be?

Hello, when you use speedtest.net or a similar site based on flash to measure your connection speed, it could be a problem with the protected mode that adobe has implemented for its flash plugin for firefox. Some older versions of f-secure or report of trusteer are known to cause slowdowns with flash, or it could be something similar on your system that interferes (maybe security software that block/sandbox the container used for protected mode, etc...).

as a solution, you could try downgrading of 10.3 flash (which is always supported) or Disable protected mode & see if that makes a difference.

  • Internet Explorer works fine, but other programs may not connect to Internet

    I have problems on my PC where, in updates of programs and windows try to connect to the internet, I get an error saying that I am not connected to the internet.

    My laptop works fine if my internet connection is not the problem.  Internet Explorer works fine however when I launch a program like steam, or when I try to download a patch to Warcraft or even Windows Update I get error messages saying that I can not connect.

    I tried to turn the Windows Firewall and antivirus off but still no joy.

    Run the Norton removal tool and see if that helps. Autour Googling shows a lot of links by using the keyword "uninstall Norton broken Internet Vista". Some people report success after you run the removal tool.

    Please rephrase your question. For example, if you really do want to use Verizon, why do you just get it?

  • I pay to 30 Mbps high speed Internet, but I can't reach anywhere near that.

    Need more speed!

    I pay to 30 Mbps high speed Internet, but I can't reach anywhere near that. I am an intermediate user of computers, so I know the basics to determine problems on my laptop. My laptop has Windows 7 and is a Dell 1545 Inspiron. I was told I may have to buy a card N-router, but when I checked the info on what's in the computer it says that I have the ability to achieve 54 Mbps. I'm confused... Please help...

    Hello faerygyrl34,

    At home, I have a connection to 25meg down and I see usually 2 to 2.5 MB download speed when downloading files via either wired or wireless.
    It was my normal rule you divide by 10 connection speed and is normally your download speed in performance in the real world.
    This has to do with the difference between MB and megabits. A megabit is about one-tenth of the information of a megabyte.
    Internet provider is advertising 30 megabits, but you're going to download only to 3 megabytes.
    Who is? It can be quite confusing.
  • My sister does not pay for high-speed internet, but she...?

    Hi, any help will be appreciated. My sister currently has high speed internet on his computer at home, but she's not be charged anywhere where we can see.

    She currently has comcast cable to his phone and cable TV. No where on the Bill is it supported for the high speed internet. Comcast deny it becomes internet delicately them. I origionally belive she got the service by ATT for phone and high speed internet. She changed phone service to comcast and I guess the external modem is home for internet high speed and his home phone. She is not charged for high speed.

    The problem is that his computer is his last stages of life, its between 10 and 11 years old and runs windows XP. I tried to plug in another post, but because I do not know where our 'free' high speed internet I have no meens to download the software for a new computer and I have of course no password.

    1 could. someone tell me through the settings or somewhere else on the computer where I could find information on high speed internet? Is that what I can do to connect a new computer to the Internet without a password?

    2. could I buy a wireless router broadband and connect it directly to the cable outlet in the wall can connect to its current modem (from comcast for internet and phone) or would need a password for the internet account that I don't have?

    Any help is appreciated! Any suggestions? Greg

    Click Start-> Control Panel-> network.  That displays all your network connections.

    Good luck.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

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

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot 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. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Time Warner has ordered me to use an IP address directly in the address bar, now I can't stop Firefox try to contact this address whenever I start Firefox.

    I was sent a new modem/wireless router by Time Warner in their package of socalled EASYCONNECT connection. They instruct me to search for my current network settings by putting a numeric IP address in the browser's address bar. This IP address could not be contacted, but this isn't the problem:

    Now, whenever I run FIrefox, a tab opens and the browser tries, each time without success, to contact this IP address. I want to STOP this, simply return to what the regular homepage from Firefox / Google invites with NO PRELOADED in the address bar.

    Can someone please tell me what to do? I tried a "reset" of the home page. I can't find this call my story, even if it is perhaps here.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
