After updating to Firefox 27 all webpages take a few dozen seconds to several minutes to load. When loading a webpage Firefox's status displays "connecting" and the CPU gets maxed out with 95 to 100% of its cycles taking by Firefox.
The computer is older so it is a little slow but Internet Explorer 8 has no trouble opening the webpages and neither do other computers on the LAN so it is not a network issue. I have tried restarting Firefox, disabling add-ons, deleting add-ons, disabling hardware acceleration, restarting the computer, and reinstalling Firefox after wiping every trace of it and its user data from the hard drive and registry.
CPU: AMD Athlon 2800+ 2.08GHz RAM: 1GB OS: Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 32bit

Rather a long thread so I will add some comments here where easily seen.
- For general problems please see my post /questions/985969?page=3#answer-546520
Updated 30th April 2014 to mention the outstanding known issue (aka the bug with only three votes) - Just below that jigebren has kindly summarised some workarounds at that particular time and the issues found from this thread /questions/985969?page=3#answer-546599

- Workaround,
A chrome hack to disable the throbber may resolve the issue as a workaround allowing pages to load quickly. See my post /questions/985969?page=4#answer-595327

FF29, NVidia 335.23 drivers, GTX460, Windows 8.1 Update
When hardware acceleration is enabled, FF29 crashes on start up. When Hardware acceleration is disabled, FF29 opens and works, but slowly.
IE11 hardware acceleration is enabled, with no problems.
Can you please provide a fix for this soon? Disabling hardware acceleration is not an elegant solution to the problem.
Thanks, Steve
Why do you keep pissing me off with updates that disrupt my browser workspace and hide tools I use while I'm trying to make headway on an important project?

First, everything was moved around. Ok, fine, I'm used to that kind of run around now from Mozilla. But I also have an IP address add-on that takes up a lot of horizontal space, and I want it at the bottom of my window, not crowding the top. I have another IP-related add-on which takes up more space, but now I can't even find a way to display it anymore. I'll figure it out eventually, but I use these all the time and it wasn't part of my plan today to figure out where you hid it or spend time setting up yet another add-on that restores the previous firefox version arrangement of things or creates a fake toolbar that mimics the old one. You are disrespecting your customers and wasting my time. You're only popular because people use your browser. Just because it's free doesn't mean you should do whatever you want and expect people to jump. And now you're pushing updates automatically so I can't even defer until I have time to deal with the inevitable post-upgrade difficulty I will have.

So recently my Firefox browser has been leaking memory like crazy going up to 1.7 GB in used RAM. It starts off fine when I first open it, but progressively gets worse over time, making scrolling a choppy and painful task. This started with version 28.0 but I've since upgraded to 29.0 and the problem persisted. I've done hours of research on the problem and have tried all the following solutions, to no avail:
- Turning off hardware acceleration/smooth scrolling/auto scrolling - Creating a new profile - Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox - Running it in safe mode (still lagged, even in safe mode!)
Has anyone found any real solution to this problem?

In the new sync feature I can select passwords to be synced but then I need to disable my master password.
How exactly are my passwords stored and encrypted when I sync them? I want to be in control of the encryption key that encrypts my passwords. I don't feel that the security solution for storing my passwords in the sync solution has been adequately explained to me.
I'm considering getting lastpass instead.

Since upgrading to FF29 I get a lot of untrusted connection errors on my work PC which is behind a firewall. These error messages sometimes show the technical details (e.g. plus.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.) but there is no "I know the risks" option provided to bypass and add an exception. I've seen the response about framed windows, but for sites like plus.google.com there isn't a framed window; right clicking doesn't give a "This Frame" menu item. I've deleted the cert8.db file as well, and that didn't resolve the issue.
I can't access much of google. I can't play YouTube HTML5 videos, though I was able to work through the HTML source to at least get the CSS file to load as even that was failing initially. I cannot load the accuweather site, though that doesn't seem to use https and so may be unrelated. I had no problems with any of these sites before upgrading to 29.

Running FF 29...
Whenever I try to print to Nitro PDF, FF hangs...I can't change the file name in the "Save As" box and I end up having to exit out using the X in the upper right hand corner of the window...
I KNOW this is an issue with FF due to the fact I have uninstalled/reinstalled both FF and Nitro...and still the same issue...additionally, I do not have this problem in IE or Opera...
I am finding more and more reasons to move away from FF...and this is just another notch in the negative column...
I see that others seem to be having problems printing to PDFs, so is there a fix in the works?...
I saw in another post that the poster was asked if they reset the printer in the "about" options...Why should we have to do this?...We EXPECT the browser to continue to work from one version to the next...
The only thing really keeping me on FF at this point is the speeddial option, which does not have a compatible add-on for Opera/IE/Chrome, that functions like the one for FF (dial groups)...but if I need to switch, I will do so...

I have 3 computer running: windows XP, windows 7 and windows vista. The one running windows XP was updated to Firefox 20.0.1, everything went well but it refused to sync any data at all. I read that I had to upgrade to the latest sync software on all computers to get sync to work. Rather than doing that, I removed Firefox and all associated data, then installed Firefox 20.0.1 in the 2 remaining computers; big mistake, now I can’t sync any of the computers. I don’t even know if my sync data is still there or not, there is no way to find out. Note that when I was running the previous version of Firefox, sync worked perfectly on all computers, I didn’t have any problem. Note: in Firefox 20.0.1 sync has been degraded, now we don’t get any options, just sync; which doesn’t work. If I click on “manage”, all I get is “change password” or “remove account” but I don’t want either, all I want is to sync. Please help, and thanks much in advance.

Firefox's old sync was clunky but extremely useful. I can't get the new sync to work at all, which is not at all useful. Basically, I've gone to Settings > Options > Sync > Unlink this device. That displays a very large dialog box with just one very short statement on it which reads "Determining your account status ..." Apparently, that task takes a very long time indeed because I've let it sit there for two days, and it's still determining my account status. I can click OK or Cancel, and the dialog box will go away. Then, if I go back to Settings > Options > Sync, it doesn't even give me a chance to tell it I want to unlink. Instead it goes directly to the dialog box stating that it's still determining my account status.
I would very much like to be able to sync Firefox across a couple of computers. Is there any way to do that?

I cannot sync my firefox after a format of my HDD. I am synced on my android phone, but cannot get a reset password for my account. I cannot get to my addons nor bookmarks. Reset does not work, new account on my email doesnt do either. "Attempt limit exceeded." is all I get from firefox. I am one step from getting rid of it after many, many years of our relationship. I pitty that firefox is getting slower and slower, I get more and more problems, and still hang on to it. Today I couldt find any useful help. Its quite disturbing. Maybe it has come to "Attempt limit exceeded."?
Please help.
