FireFox 16.0.2 has been very sluggish and majority of websites you visit with FF just hangs and freezes, it may become back responsive after a few minutes, but this happens very frequently and I don't think it is specific to Flash as it does this with sites that do not use Flash

When you click on a link FireFox freezes completely then returns to normal after a 30 seconds to a minute. 4 of my coworkers experience the same problem and they use different machines.

I have to force stop the application.

I have Firefox 16.0.1, and as of lately, it's become too unbearably slow for me to continue using it. Even when typing this message, at certain points it will lag. When switching to new tabs or clicking links, it lags HORRIBLY. At least 4-5 seconds of wait time. And now it's started to screw up my enjoyment of YouTube videos by lagging when scrolling down the page (as it does with other sites) and lagging the video itself. I've tried the reset feature. That did absolutely nothing for me.

The only add-ons that I have are AdBlock Plus 2.1.2 and the FTDeepDark 4.8.3 theme. And I've already tried disabling (even removing) them to no avail.

What must I do for Firefox to run properly and quickly? I've been a huge fan up until now, and I'm seriously fed up with it. I have a very quick laptop (Win7, i7920XM, 8 gigs of DDR3, 256GB SSD, dual 5870 GPUs, etc.), and Firefox has always run great up until the past few month.s

How do I get ride of the dreadful CONDUIT SEARCH which has colonised my Firefox search like computer Herpes? I have tried a few of the replies but nothing has helped - it appears nowhere on any program list and even the following didn't do the trick :-

Owner AnonymousUser 1 year ago Several tried to but no one seemed to understand the real problem. I COULD, because it was mine too. So it follows the only ultimate solution:

1. Open Firefox 2. On the address bar, type – about:config in the URL. Press Enter. 3. You will be warned about Warranty. Click on “I’ll be careful…”

4. On the Filter dialog box type – search.conduit 5. It will display all related entries. Right-click on Preferences Name and Reset. It worked for me, after trying a dozen of "fake" solutions. ;)

Other than serious chainsaw work, any ideas?

I'm using Firefox 20 on Linux Desktop and Nexus 4. I rarely close the browser on my desktop and keep unread tabs, but something that irritates me is that whenever I send a tab from my phone, it never opens up unless I manually sync. I tried various solutions to adjust sync interval, but it doesn't work.

How do I adjust the sync interval so that it's quick? I won't mind running my own sync server if mozilla sync services won't permit high sync rate.

On some websites (eBay for example) you have to enter a verification code (to avoid spam messages) to be able to send email to a seller. When I do that in Firefox the website won´t accept my enter and asks me to enter the code (a new one) again. When I execute exactly the same procedure in Internet Explorer there are no such problems. (Firefox ver 16.02.4680. IE ver 8.0.6001.18702.) What shall I do to be able to use Firefox in the same way as IE? Best regards Rolf Bergquist

Firefox Sync on same computer with different versions of Firefox

Hi,

  I know how to use Sync on two different computers and a mobile device, but how can I Sync two or more different versions of Firefox (Nightly, Beta, Aurora, Release Candidate)? I can't get the code from the other computer/firefox because I can only have one version of Firefox open at the same time. I tried it. This is my setup. I have a different Profile for each version of Firefox I have. I also have each version of Firefox installed in a different directory, for example:

Nightly - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\

Aurora - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Aurora\

Beta - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Beta\

Release Candidate - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Release Candidate\

and my Profiles are in my

Nightly - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Nightly\

Aurora - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Aurora\

Beta - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Beta\

Release Candidate - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Release Candidate\

and I run Firefox with the following command (Properties/Target)

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Nightly"

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Aurora"

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Beta"

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Release Candidate"

Can anyone help me so that I can Sync all the accounts (basically, just the bookmarks), so I will have access to all my bookmarks, instead of going to the firefox version I saved it in? I would appreciate any and all assistance concerning this matter. Thank You.

I have been looking through the documentation for the weave server and have found no way to modify how much history is kept the whole purpose of using the home server was so that i could put a enormous quota and save every thing securely and privatly. 60 days is a joke as I have to come back to projects a year or 3 later and have 200 or so tabs open daily across 4 browser windows per pc i use. I use seperate profiles for seprate aspects of life... ex hobbies vs coding vs work. each gets its own profile and sync account so that when i work on multiple systems or have to redo pc's its much easier to keep things sorted out.

when i left my job and gave them back my laptop i obviously kept the sync key and thought it would be fine to simply come along and enter the details into my new computer and away i go ... like i did when i got the laptop in the first place.

However when i entered all the information it said it had imported it and there were no links, bookmarks, password, history ... nothing.

Is there a way i can find out why this is happening. it can't have overwritten them as i selected the option to sync what is local and on the server.

any ideas.

The main feature that attracts me in Firefox for Android is the ability to synch my Bookmarks with the desktop browser. It does synch the Bookmarks, however, the folder tree of the Desktop Bookmarks is completely messed up and out of order compare to the desktop browser, which makes it difficult to find what I need. It happens both on my tablet and my phone. And there is no option to edit the bookmarks (move them in the proper position). Why is it happening, and is there any way fix this?

How do I turn this off? Nothing is working and I cannot imagine how it happened.

The message will not go away no matter what I try. I have clicked on the second option (I am aware of this change and approve it) and click on the red and white x at the upper right-hand corner but it will not go away. When this message is on I cannot do certain tihings on my computer. Also, I cannot move the message out of the way.

This message does not come on with Internet Explorer. Thanks.

I'm having this problem since few releases ago, whenever I start FF, it always fails to sync, showing this line on the bottom "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this action". First thought that the prob was incorrect credentials, but I can freely log-in https://account.services.mozilla.com I tried unlinking and linking my device again, it still happens. I waited thinking that they'll fix this, from a release to another, today updated to the last version and it still happened.
