Why is it so slow to connect, Firefox and will not allow downloads?

lately something's happening with Fire fox or internet or something...

When I click on something, Fire Fox just sits there saying "connecting..." Several times I have to click on something repeatedly or exit firefox and restart.

I tired to uninstall firefox, restarted my computer windows 7, reinstalled firefox and still get the same problem.

In ADDITION, downloads. Download problems now. Seems that downloads never START.

I used some addons like download helper, and such, and they are now totally unhinged. Download helper does not work unless I go to tools, addons, and then close the tab... then when I select the file to download, it put it in Quebec.

I use Adblock Plus and Avast AV and Admuncher. I have disabled them all and STILL have problems with the download and connection...

If I am forced to have to see and watch the endless advertising to be able to use the internet, I will pull the plug on this thing like I did 12 years ago.

Problem is the Flash updates... they have just sucked. Now everything works as it should.

  • 64-bit Firefox developer will not allow silverlight for installation

    Silverlight will not appear in the extensions. Uninstalled reinstalled several times but always tells me to install silverlight to watch People or open a photo in slideview in hotmail.

  • Mac is too slow, Mail is blocked and will not open!

    Hello

    Two problems in one - slow Mac and the Mail app crashing!

    I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Since the last few days my Mac slowed considerably and takes a long time to start, search, and perform several tasks. Everything freezes and the small circle of color appears in almost everything I try to do. After waiting for a while, it could be 4-5 minutes, I can get back to work.

    I used only about 150 GB of my 1 TB HARD drive space.

    Today the mail has crashed and when I click on the 'Open' button it goes down just yet once without opening the window. Other applications like suggestd and some internal applications also keep crashing.

    Can someone help me understand what to do? Thank you!!

    Hello cbhuta,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I have a problem with your Mac after update of OS X El Capitan, is not what you expect. If I understand correctly, you are unable to open the mail and your Mac is running more slowly than expected. To refine and resolve this problem, I suggest these steps in the following order:

    1. start using disk utility to repair all easily correctable problem on OS X, or on your drive can be attributed to these issues by following the steps in this article:

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. then use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. you can find out if this unexpected behavior is related to the user file or parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

  • Some Web sites I am using a very old version of Firefox and will not work. I use 9.0

    This occurs even on some help pages for Firefox! Some plugins also refuse to load, citing an outdated version of FF. Some sites say that I use Firefox 1.0.7, which I've not used for years. The drop "about FF" confirms that I am under FF 9.0.1

    Even this page (below) under her 'we made some assumptions about your browser and operating system' I'm under FF 1.0.7. Aargh!

    Your browser may be identifies itself by mistake. Sometimes, this is caused by an add-on.

    Although this article is a bit old now, the procedure he described is still the best I know to fix this problem: Web sites or modules report wrongly incompatible browser | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

    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.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • First of a sudded, my firefox browser is not allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the upper part of the screen.

    First of a sudded, my firefox browser is not allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the upper part of the screen. For example, I go to my email and I can't click on the Inbox, send, create folders, mark as unread. It's like this on all websites? Its really annoying I can't do anything because most of the sites have login at the top of the screen and I can't connect to anything.

    This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.

  • When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK.

    This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

    • Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
