  Hello Mike.

  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.

• Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

  Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

  Your computer hardware has arrived at the stage where most of the software needs resources your machine cannot provide because it's too old. You have a few choices.

  1. Get new hardware that can handle the latest software
  2. Use a different operating system, like Linux (which is free)

  I rehabilitated an old G5 recently and it runs very well in the latest Firefox. I put Lubuntu on the machine instead the MacOS. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of a Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications of your choice, and everything is free.

  You can also use the Ubuntu greediest in resources and a little more user-friendly, also free, but you can be more pleased with the performance of Lubuntu instead.

  The PowerPC, I did this on was one of the old blue Bondi ones. Firefox 8 had no problem to start on it at all and has all necessary plug-ins for video, audio, etc... I gave him a church and it works well for them.

  You can download older versions of Firefox, but you'll just open to security problems if you do.

  FYI: The Mac operating system is based on Linux.

• Why Firefox has changed to show the U.S. on search sites when I am based in the United Kingdom?

  Since the installation of her "forget the historical navigation button" Firefox automatically displays the American Web sites instead of the previous UK those.

  The forget button is build in Firefox, but in order to ensure that there has been no change, have you you initially download the American or British Firefox build? I do not think that the two are linked, but you can change the search location in some search preferences. This can also be triggered by you IP address.

• Why firefox has become bloated and lazy like IE?

  I tried like hell to stick with firefox, but it became useless.

  Installation of costs, on a new installation of operating system on a PC with 8 cores@3ghz and 32 GB of ram, and firefox is STILL SLOW!

  More than 10 tabs == random crash for a few seconds / minutes
  Have more than 5 tabs and close one that it blocks a few seconds to a minute.
  Have more than 10 tabs open, select "Close other tabs" after the tabs, FF hangs for 30-90 seconds.

  After the closure of the tabs, CPU utilization pulls up to this core... I say for this kernel, because the limit of mozilla firefox for one heart, which wouldn't be so bad, except EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM HANGS waiting for THAT ONE CORE to CATCH THE FUCK UP!

  Add on top of that firefox looking more and more like the chrome... I mean.. Firefox is essentially like having the version slow, delayed, shit smell of chrome...

  PLEASE GO BACK TO WHAT MADE YOU FAMOUS!

  A light and fast browser.

  NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS ALL THAT USELESS GARBAGE YOU KEEP SHOVELLING AWAY!

  Here's an idea, before avant d' ajouter to add more code buggy nonsense that serves nothing real other than to make you look more like a bastardised version of chrome, why don't you actually fix crap buggy, slow garbage code have already set you up?

  STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE THE CHROME! IF I WANTED CHROME FUCKING, I HAD TO INSTALL IT!

  If the next version of Firefox is nothing else than to fix the many problems causing slow performance and high CPU usage, I'll be moving to chrome and leave Firefox and Mozilla to continue its business of a slow and painful death walk down.

  @the-edmeister thanks for the typical canned answer, I am pleased to see that copy - paste works always.

  Canned responses do not work, because the situation is based on a new installation of the operating system and a new installation of firefox.
  All the drivers on the system is new and up-to-date.

  I ALWAYS run through the basic troubleshooting list. If I had found a solution for poor performance and hogging CPU memory/crappy, I him have not posted here.

  @jscher2000
  Thanks for the link, but I had already tried it, work with no joy.

  As for the rest of the answer, I have a few comments and questions:

  Statement: "Mozilla's mission is to drive the web forward, which is to introduce new technologies constantly in Firefox."

  Comment: Change the GUI to work and look like Chrome is not new and innovative. It is simply duplicating someone else's ideas.

  Statement: "at the same time, developers constantly working to improve the efficiency of memory."

  Comment: since when? Over the years, whenever FF has "updated" the memory usage has increased. On rare occasions, it has also introduced memory leaks, or attempted to hide or split to its own use of memory in the secondary threads... plugin-container for a good idea, is an example that has been poorly implemented.

  Statement: "because the browser code is open source, others have used it to create products that look more like older versions of Firefox, or gathered for 64-bit systems, etc..". You can check those and decide if they are more productive for you than the official version. »

  Question: Where might these alternatives. Simply Googling turns a myriad of other browsers, Chrome for most of the results. Versions of firefox based very little I could find are the pale Moon and waterfox.
  Others are based on the FF are for most * nix flavors or specialized for users of niche such as cat and iceweasle for gnu and debian ice respectively, and wyzo based on niche media downloads.

  I understand that Firefox is open source, and if I had the time team, Fund and development to devote to creating a browser standard, basic, no frills, using their source, I would have already.

  My problem is not with Firefox itself, but the struggle continues Mozilla comply Firefox for chrome UI, while gradually adding bloat, instability and some "features" unnecessary which are not needed or requested by users.

  I get that Mozilla tries to innovate. But adding bloat and tracking features of data or features that cannot be used unless the tracking data is enabled is a huge slap in the face of almost all those who have started using firefox because it objected to these measures implemented in other browsers at the time.

  The entire reason why firefox became so popular was because it worked, was quick and did not use all of the system cpu and ram. Why? because at that time, it had all the bells, whistles, gadgets, door knockers, the banana seat, ape-hanger handlebars and a chrome-plated stand... Remove all trash, and the browser would be more likely to cut its use of CPU and memory in two, if not more.

  And Yes... This has turned into a feedback session.
  No, I didn't intend to let him be.
  No, I will not create a survey of 'feedback '... I've done done several times over the years, and as is typical of mozilla, they simply ignore it and do the opposite.

• Gow I stop Firefox from opening a Web site that crashed or stop it when I restart?

  Sometimes a Web site is not responding, I close firefox manually, usually a c; tab dare on my windows pc. When I restart firefox, it goes back to this site, rather than 'well, it's embarrassing...'. y at - it a way to stop this. When I close my firefos, I have it set to clear the history. You helpr oe can shed some light?
  Thank you.

  Firefox will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from last session if an accident occurred or Firefox does not close properly the last time.
  If the session blocks once, then you will get the page "well, it's embarrassing" (topic: sessionrestore) the next time you start Firefox.
  You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

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

  This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
  If you cannot start Firefox, then you can add this line to the file prefs.js to prevent Firefox to restore the last session automatically.
  user_pref ("browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes", 0);

• Why Firefox has randomly decided not to load any website?

  On the eve of my problem was triggered, everything worked perfectly well. Today, as I turned it on my computer loaded up Firefox, I was greeted with "unable to connect, Firefox cannot connect to www.whatever.com. No Web site at all, no matter a secure site (https) and normal Web page or same Mozilla.org would be responsible. Yet another browser can. I have torn the support page seeking a solution and I really tried all suggested (clear all cookies, history, etc., remove and add new Firefox in the list of reliable in the firewall Windows, uninstall programs, deleting the Firefox in Program Files folder, then reinstall). Norton has been disabled even when Firefox was working, so he couldn't possibly be interfering. No update for the browser, my computer or anything else has produced recently, or if I downloaded all the malicious files.

  I could not possibly express how frustrating it is and any help would be appreciated very much.

  Windows 8
  Firefox 27.0.1

  I understood everything. It turns out that Norton was blocking all programs on the web on my computer as it has been disabled. I knew that Firefox would not let me down! I will continue to use the best browser in the world!

  Hello, this looks like a problem possibly caused by malicious software on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  The problem is usually related to your firewall not allowing access to an unknown program; the new version of Firefox is not your firewall, although the old version. Remove references to firefox.exe in the list of programs in your firewall, then start Firefox, let the firewall re - detect Firefox and give it permissions to access the internet.
