• Firefox is running SLOOOOW. It takes five minutes to open a web page. IE works fine on the same computer. I tried everything in the troubleshooting guide,

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

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

• How can I stop firefox 13 takes too long to load pages

  I used to regularly visit http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Special:RecentChanges

  I can't stand the ads, well, then I added all sites ad to etc/hosts pointing to localhost.

  until recently, the pages loaded fine, the dns lookup has failed in a transparent manner.

  I've just updated to firefox 13.

  now, every time the page loads I get "connecting to pagead2.googlesyndication.com"for about 15 seconds.

  Since everyone loses interest in a page after 10 seconds, what makes visit to this site a bit frustrating.

  any ideas how I can change this back to the pre-13 behavior?

  maybe try to use adblock more instead of the host file - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus

• 16 Firefox hangs for a minute to access some Web pages, I think that they all use Flash

  I installed Firefox 16.0.1 yesterday. I was running 15 earlier in the day and it was fine. However, 16 FF started suddenly hanging for about a minute when I try to access some Web sites. It thaws fine after this minute, no crashes or anything like that, but it is very irritating. From what I can tell, it seems to do this on pages that use Flash. I have the latest version installed, and it made no difference. I tried downgrading to 15 FF and it's always the same. Anyone know what is happening?
  Thank you

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Firefox has become very slow. It takes a lot of time to load any website. I reinstalled FF but the fleeting problem.

  Firefox has become very slow. It takes a lot of time to load any website. I reinstalled FF but the rest of the problem.
  As a test, I downloaded Chrome and it is much faster.
  But I love FF and would be very happy if you can help me solve this problem.

  Hi Reos,

  When you reinstall Firefox it always uses your old profile with all the old things that you had. That said, you're lucky, there is a new feature that lets you "Reset" of Firefox. This will remove some of the pieces that might cause problems while it keeps your bookmarks and other important things safe.

• Now, my slow Firefox is fast

  Symptom: Firefox takes a while to come in Windows XP. Further, it takes awhile to load my start page.

  Symptom: Open a Google search results page, click on my first choice, it takes too much time; I close this page and select a second choice and it loads immediately. It's not serious if I chose the first choice, second or third first choice and an alternative higher or lower in the list as the second choice.

  I have been running Spybot Search and Destroy, Ccleaner and have the Essentials Microsoft anti-virus.

  I used the Auslogics DiskDefrag to optimize and defrrag.

  SOLUTION:
  I have downloaded and run the scan of full file from Malwarebytes (Trial), which required a restart of the computer when it was over, having found four Trojan horses, as well as all the files quarantined, set aside by CCleaner. I deleted everything in the list and restarted Windows (first time).

  I ran another file full scan with Malwarebytes and found four files. Nothing in memory, nothing in the registry. I deleted these and restart Windows for the second time.

  Now Firefox comes right to the top, Google opens in the first tab immediately, I open the new tab and select Gmail and it comes right to the top without delay.

  My problem with slow response time Firefox was malware. One of the malware is a configuration of player I recently downloaded... can not disabled albums say which player was. He may have been infected to its source, or it may have been infected on my computer when I got here.

  I post this 'question' as a report on the solution I've found for a slow running Firefox.

  My first question with a slow Firefox came after a series of events, I'll try to recall here:

  I had a decent response from Firefox.

  I downloaded and ran Auslogics DiskDefrag, after defragmentation and optimization, I've always had good response from Firefox.

  I downloaded a dirty file, I can not say where.

  I downloaded Auslogics BoostSpeed, that scans something like five categories and allows the free cleaning of a category. Without purchasing a license, this product is limited to cleaning the first category selected from this moment for free. I chose clean wasted space.from first time several options available.

  Now, I had a slow Firefox.

  I got rid of BoostSpeed. I'm not accusing anything here, but I was looking for a cause.

  I had lance CCleaner, Spybot S & D, AdwCleaner and used the Microsoft Essentials. for the AV.

  Even a slow Firefox. I ran the two scans of complete file more restart using Maywarebytes (Trial) and Firefox is quick to come, Google loading and meet my selection in the new tab.

  A lot of people complain about Firefox is slow. I discovered the reason in my case, why it was.

  Edited to remove some typographical errors and to change the choice of wording. And thank you, SuperSluether.

  Oh. -Add-ons that I used:
  Memory Fox 7, 4 - in Options set to minimum nothing selected with a check mark and wait times

  RAMBack 1.0 (there are no options)

  1.16 - this add-on memory restart minimize Firefox memory usage when it hits a threshold of 229 MB, shows a red button if I'm on, green if I'm under.

  Original value of the threshold was 500 MB, that was too high for me.

  These three modules are really a lifesaver and prevent Firefox from locking system memory and put the computer to a crawl. With the good memory management, I'm also less problem with scripts not responding do not. In fact, I can listen to a playlist of YouTube.

  I highly recommend these three.
  .

  Glad you figured it out! I hope this will help other users I know I did!

• Why the app is slow on 2g and 3g networks

  Why there is no turbo speed as opera and uc browser speeder firefox it takes longer to open a site than the other browser why you shouldn't be an update for this in your android and PC are turbo Mozilla to load faster

  Because of the life private. Different turbo settings send all your traffic through a computer which controls the browser. This means that the company can see all of your traffic. It also means that the company may be subject to the Act application queries to display the data that you are browsing.

• Very slow Firefox.

  I do a lot of cut and paste for the recipes on all recipes.com. When I cut and paste in MS Word and then return to the Web site, Firefox seems to go in the "snail" mode. If I close Firefox and come back again I can cut and paste into MS Word but then Firefox slows down just once again. Tried to make a few changes as suggested on the site of Firefox to not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Hello bhlottawa, try Disabling graphics hardware acceleration.

  Then perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Firefox Options window as follows, click on the menu button

     

     then select Options.

  2. In the Options of Firefox window, click the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

  In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox

• Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so

  Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so much? What could be in the last update of El Capitan to slow my Mid 2010 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro 2.66 down so much?   He has never run it slow before! Everything takes more time in all areas. Could I have made a mistake during the download and installation?  If so is it possible to force a re - install the latest update?

  I don't know if I can restore back after an update of this size. Everyone has similar problems or have thoughts on what could be wrong? I know it's far from being a State of the art Macbook Pro. But it was working fine before the update.

  Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I can't afford to buy anything newer right now.

• X140e why it is so slow

  Why is it so slow? This was my first purchase of laptop in 4 years and I think the NEW Lenovo is slower than my last (an hp computer that cost $300). I got this x140e recommended by a computer scientist at my college, after the death of my old laptop in a flood. so why this computer costs $500 if she is so slow? and what I can do to fix this? is there something or am I stuck with a computer that takes 10 seconds to switch between the tabs? and I've been to 3 separate internet connections, who had the same result, super slow X140e. I'm doing something wrong?

  I had the same problem. The problem is that the system of stock only comes with 2 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics subsystem takes 512 MB off for video application. If you have only 1.5 GB free memory left!

  Since the X140E has two memory slots, I added 4 GB of RAM so I with the existing 2 GB 6 GB total. Now the machine is much more responsive and faster. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and it is not nearly as slow more.

  Check the Task Manager, I can see the average BONE needs from 1.7 to 2 GB of RAM for light loads and > 2 GB for heavy loads. So the 1.5 GB available in a stock system is not enough RAM to all!

  If yours has only 2 GB I would add a little more. I really think that the X140E should come with 4 GB as a default, because performance is hampered with 2 GB. I can say in my situation as adding RAM helped.

• Why does take so long to load from the time wherever I power up until it takes to get to the login screen? help taking too long

  Why does take so long to load from the time wherever I power up until it takes to get to the login screen? help taking too long

  You should take a look at your startup programs and decide what is really necessary and what is nothing more than useless clutter. There is nothing wrong with the startup programs, some may be really useful or even necessary for your personal needs. But keep in mind that many programs build to start when you start the computer and that most of them must not start when the computer starts, all they do is slow down your boot time and clutter of things when you're trying to solve problems, and some are downright harmful!

  I mean, have you really need things like real Planner and Gadwin Print Screen running all the time? These programs will run very well, even if they are not started automatically every time that you start the computer. Go to these programs and change/disable their boot option. Some may be difficult to kill for public assistance services can be useful when you try to control startup programs. Try CodeStuff Starter, it's safe and easy to use, I think you'll like it, download it here:

  http://CodeStuff.tripod.com/products_starter.html>

  Use AutoRuns to check axis start, Richard:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx>

  Use Cclenar-> tools-> start

  http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>

  I can't tell you what to keep, startup items it is a personal preference, but pretty well all the startup items indicated by CodeStuff Starter are safe to disable, and changes are easy to reverse if you change your mind. Searches for items it shows you and decide whether or not these things are really useful or necessary. Some programs will be started at startup without your knowledge and over time, that list can expand to include useless parasites, part of good computer maintenance includes regular control of these startup items and the removal of the unnecessary.

  Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

  I. - delete your temporary files

  Clean the system (compensation to all temp/tmp folders and included all the content offline, the tif browser, delete the cookies of compensation.)

  Do a disk cleanup. Click the Start button. in the search box, type disk cleanupand then in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup. Better and easier to use - ccleaner.

  Download the basic version (slim) via

  http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner/builds>

  The basic version (slim) does not contain the toolbar disgusted

  DO NOT USE ANY cleaning of the advanced options. DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY OR TOOLS. At least not for now.

  Reset

  II. - have your system scanned as a result of security/antivirus installed.

  III. - download, install, update and run both of these tools to a-squared free scans:
