• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start 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. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

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

  I hope this helps!

• Since the update to 6,18 windows is slow and unresponsive

  Hello. Since I updated to 6.18 last my Win8.1 (once a day) was sometimes slow and unresponsive, even if the Task Manager indicates that nothing is happening. It takes the Task Manager, 8 seconds to appear. Here, I see that Skype does not respond and when I kill it then system responds once more.

  When I restart Skype I 1/5 chance of having the problem again, so I reboot several times to make it work. When there will be a version 6.18 fixed?

  I can't downgrade because of the stupid idea of "autoupdate" - I can not connect to any previous version, for example, 6.16, even though I have disabled AutoUpdate updates. Who invented this stupid idea of "you cannot log in to the version you want to use?

  It seems I have a solution!

  I found somewhere here on the forums a Council disable smilies in messages to increase performance. And indeed 3 days my Skype does not block or slow down the computer, even though I've updated to the latest version of Skype.

  Finally I have the solution!

• When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

  For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

• Firefox very slow, slow and unresponsive on Windows 8.1

  Basically, everything is very slow and each action takes a long time to complete - tabs, switching takes about half a second to a full second (5 seconds if there is another tab currently loading / refreshing), by clicking the Center button of the mouse takes more time, about half a second to a second for the exactly scrolling of arrows is displayed same thing with regularly by clicking on the scroll on the right, Firefox bar pretty much freezes for about a full second before reacting to the click.

  I tried to run Firefox with addons disabled, which did not help, which I did not know that he don't would be not since this problem started before I even had the addons - pretty good the second, I installed Firefox.
  I have Firefox running on an SSD card and a new installation of Windows 8.1. I tried the two Aurora and nightly (currently using every night), both are just as slow.

  I have not tried to reset, because once again, the question was already there during my first installation of Firefox.

  Figured out what the problem is - it is a software of DisplayFusion I use to support multiple monitors which is causing the problem. I'll just get an alternative until (if ever) the question ceases to exist.

  Thanks for the help.

• Computer performance are slow and unresponsive in the middle of the running applications

  Original title: Volsnap error, VSS, registry handle leaks, the drivers won't load is not etc.

  Little by little over the last few months, my computer has been slowing down, suddenly "not responding" in the middle of a program and a few other oddities.  I can't identify when this started because he was progressive.  I had to replace an old drive SSD C and when I did, I also bought a new copy of Windows 7 Prof 64 bit SP1.  Drive C is now SATA 6.

  Hello
  The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

  Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

  Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

  I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

  I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

  I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

  Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

  Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

  When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

  Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

  I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

  Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

  Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

  Thanks again.

• iPad2 is becoming slower and slower

  iPad 2, most recent iOS

  HELLO together.

  For more than a half year (perhaps even early 2015) I have to fight a terrible slow iPad2, in non-reactive part.

  In Safari, and it takes forever, until a page load (iPad mini is fast at the same time, it is not the internet).

  It takes forever to pass even a tab.

  I press a link and Safari freezes sometimes.

  I have doupletap the homebutton to switch apps and the iPad very often freezes.

  After maybe 20 seconds without response, host appears wth the apps to choose.

  I already reset and reinstalled the iPad2, no change.

  Is it possible that more updates, older devices get "slow", so that users are forced to buy new?

  My mini iPad for example (do the same there, have also installed apps) has no problem.

  THX,

  Mike

  A disclaimer clause.

  I make no warranty, express or implied, that my own procedures return EACH older iPad to a usable state, running.

  Try all of the following conditions:

  Try to reset all the settings in the settings under general app and in the right column under restore.

  Try stories reset and delete/reset the caches in all web browsers you use.

  If you use Safari, these features may be in the application settings under Safari.

  Other browsers have their settings inside the running application itself.

  If your iPad has been activated for iCloud, in the application settings under iCloud, to the right, under iCloud Drive, type in iCloud drive and make sure that Safari is off to save data from Safari to iCloud by car.

  Also, under iCloud in the application settings, in iCloud Drive, turn the feature off saving for all other desired apps DO NOT the data automatically on iCloud drive.

  OR turn off / disable iCloud and iCloud drive entirely if you don't use all the features in iCloud.

  If you are using Safari is always causing issues.

  Try changing / using web browser third another, different.

  I do not use iOS Safari too much more because I found it cause me headaches on some Web sites, regularly, to visit.

  I commonly use another third party browser, perfect browser (there are others that can suit your style better web browsing, so look all first to see what third-party browser may work better for you) and I have never experience many questions that Safari was originally.

  In the settings app, under the Safari settings panel, tap the Panel and in the right window, turn off / disable Safari Suggestions.

  In the application settings tab general, right under the Spotlight search, try to disable the search under the applications who really don't need one research, like some games, remote controls, apps that are really useless to be searched, etc., in order to reduce the list to Spotlight search.

  Try to turn the reduced movement.

  This is found in the application of settings in the general tab, in the left panel.

  In the right panel, look under accessibility, look to reduce the Motion and turn this feature "On".

  You should see a significant performance increase on all models of iPad 2, 3 and 4.

  In the application settings under the general tab, in the right column, search background App update and enable this setting

  'off '.

  If you have the Mail application iOS set to extract automatically to mail one of the extraction of the default value of time intervals, in the application settings, under mail, Contacts, calendar settings panel, tap this Panel, in the right window, turn off / disable Push Mail and together, go get the mail for each hour or together for a manual removal only for all of your e-mail accounts.

  If you are willing to do (I, personally, would not recommend this), some users have reported that turn off find my phone/iPad, in the settings app in iCloud, has improved the performance of iOS, although I have no how this feature could be the cause of such a slowdown in execution, unless it's a bug in the iOS which only affects some iPad users.

  Try an another hard reset of your iPad by simultaneously pressing buttons Home and sleep/wake button until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.

  Good luck!
