• 7 Firefox is very slow to opening pages as compared Web o firefox6

  Compared to firefox6, this version, ff ver # 7.0.1 is very slow to open Web pages. It takes a long time to display the Web page. I tried to disable add ons and did everything I could, but it seems that there is a no solution.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Extremely slow to open Web pages.

  My PC Dell 2 years contains Microsoft Windows XP Home Service Pack 2, with a processor Intel Pentium 4 3 GHZ processor and 504 MB of RAM; and I installed Norton Internet Security 2010.
  In the months it has become increasingly slow to open web pages, and in particular one I opened after the connection. This page now takes about 2 minutes to open, and then another 30 seconds before the download links and I have my slider control.
  I delete my files and cookies every day and I clean the disk and defrag every week, but nothing I try will speed up performance.
  A couple of days, I ran 2 scans of Registry Cleaner programs, and both indicated that I had literally thousands of flaws, including registry entries. Residual unwanted files; Elements of privacy; Bad Active X; and not optimized Performance characteristics.
  I considered buying one of the registry cleaners, but did a little research and found that they could cause even more problems that I currently have.
  I am somewhat a novice in the computer game, and I hope a kind person might explain in layman's language what is wrong and how I could fix it (easily).
  A big thank you to you all.

  Hi Malkeleah:
  My deepest apologies for not responding to your more sooner - my wife and I went away for 10 days just after your reply and when we arrived home I found myself with a virus, but I don't think I caught the computer!
  Both myself and this machine of circuits, wires and chips (or other) are now back to normal, and as promised, I'll give you a walk through of what has past. (will probably not be in the right order, but you'll get the gist of it, I'm sure). Son of my co-worker was the computer expert who got everything running.
  Basically, what he was doing was: remove all unnecessary programs that were run in the background. uninstall Norton 2010 SS and replace it with McAfee Security Suite (linked to the BT Net Protect Plus); Remove my 504 MB of RAM and replace it with 1.24 GB of RAM; back up everything I had in my computer on a flash drive. delete a lot of unnecessary programs from Windows; close the whole 'thing'; and restart using the 2 CD from Dell. There are other things that I'm sure he did, but I just don't remember.
  Thus, in a Word, my friend, this little baby now works as a Cray computer (starting & closing and opening web pages, all now faster than a bullet speeding - well, to me anyway).
  Malkeleah, as I said, the sequence, I gave you is probably all out of sync, and I realize that you're not a fan of McAfee, but my young friend knew a lot more than me and Philadelphia lawyer I was talking, and everything that has happened wonderfully since its development.
  Thanks a lot for your help. My apologies again for not having affect earlier; and if I ever need your help once again, I know how to get in touch.
  Sláinte!

• can open the home page but can not load other Web pages.

  I recently installed a network of a company of friends. They have a 8 computers on their network. To start connected the modem cable to router linksys n wireless and then I plugged an EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch. Everything works very well for about a month, until last week. Everything starts fine in the morning when they turn on all computers and continues for a few hours. After that, they can open their home pages (each computer has a differnet one) but when you try to view another web page, it can take up to 10 minutes, or never at all load. If I reboot the router and switch everything goes back to normal several hours then happen again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

• El capitan 10.11.3 very slow to open anything.

  I just 'upgraded' from 10.7.5 to 10.11.3.

  This slowed my MacBook Pro (2010) by doing anything.

  I had TO update because I bought an iPhone 6 and she needed a newer version of iTunes.

  Now, the MacBook is very slow to open anything - 'pages' 'number' ' safari - and Web sites.  Strangely, once in a website, it's normal, he's going from page to page as fast as before.

  Can anyone help please?

  As you have made the leap from an older operating system by, is it old software that requires an update to function properly.

  Also, you have enough RAM, the specifications for El Capitan said 2Gbs but 4Gbs is more realistic and of course more IS more.

  You have applications that start at the start of Mac, maybe you don't need them running.

  Anti Virus and 'cleaning up' apps are not necessary.

  You can download this small http://etrecheck.com/ application that checks your system and then paste the report here

  then folk can take a look and perhaps draw some conclusions as to why it is slow.

• Thunderbird 38.4.0 very slow to open or delete messages (about 5 seconds) CAUSE: Bitdefender AV

  Very slow to open or delete messages in Thunderbird. Compacting folders, emptied the files Junk and trash, no improvement. Just improved 38.4.0 (about 3 hours ago)

  If you have not changed anything except thunderbird update, then it is probably caused by antivirus software. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Memory_Usage_Problems

• new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the more visited sites

  new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the most visited sites. Ad-aware messed up the settings.

  You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.

  • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
  • the default homepage is Subject: Home
  • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

  The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

  See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

• Force FF to open the home page at startup

  I have FF set to open the home page at startup, but it opens all the tabs that were open when FF was closed as well. The only way I can stop it is to remove the history at the end of the value. This is new since the last update of FF.
  How can I get FF to only open my home page at startup.

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

• When you use the new button tab is open a new tab, with a search engine that I don't want. How to change this to make it possibly open my home page?

  When I use the new button tab in the tab tool bar, it opens the Yahoo! search engine. I would like to change it to open my home page, or a search engine different. Is it possible to do it and how?

  Thanks for any help!

  I think that is changed by an extension. If you run Firefox in Mode safe search engine comes up when you open a new tab? http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/safe+mode

  Hello.

  I hope that this support article is what you need:

  http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/session+restore

  If this does not help, it is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

  If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

• The most recent version comes to open the home page when you click on the e-mail link

  Before the update to 29.01, when I clicked on a link on Web page in an email Firefox would open and automatically go to this page. Now, when I click on a link in an email from Firefox just opens to the home page. How can I get back to the old way of working?

  You can reset firefox with its factory default settings, but you need to add your add ons repeatedly.

  The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
  
  Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.

  • Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.

  To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  For Firefox versions prior to 29,0:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the "Reset Firefox" line

     

     button.

  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  For Firefox 29,0 and above:

  1. Click the menu button

     

     click Help

     

     and select troubleshooting information.

  Now, should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

  1. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"

     

     . Click on it.

  2. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  3. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  Thank you.

• How can I keep Firefox to open an additional page (default page) every time? I want only to open my home page.

  Two tabs always open. default page 1 with my home page and the other with the FF. It is so irritating that I rarely use the Firefox browser even if its faster than IE.

  Finally, I deleted all traces of Firefox on my computer, including all the stuff that uninstall has not been deleted. Then I reinstalled from scratch. That seems to work and I get now only a single tab when I open the program.

  Comment from a forum moderator (~ J99)

  Note it is generally a last resort solution.
  I suggest to all those who wish to follow this solution guarantees that they back up the Firefox profile first. See also:
