I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox is very slow after the last update; as I 'm typing the letters in this note now, letters appear very slow on my screen, scrolling is just as slow and very irritating with f.i. using gmail or any website, changing a screen takes ages. I've tried every suggestion given by the supportcenter. Uninstalled adobe flashplayer, refreshed firefox, uninstalled and re-installed firefox several times without having any positive results.

Who can help me?

No matter if a newstart with firefox in secure mode with deactivated addons should maybe fix this slowness problem, firefox 38.0.1 works not well in comparison to firefox 37.0.2 or some mozilla firefox update-versions before ! Within the last a half a year all firefox updates down to firefox 36 were working well to all plugins and addons.

yesterday it auto updated to 38.0.1. It is now very very slow. running win 7 32 bit. tried refresh twice,uninstalled and reinstalled with no help. plug ins look different and not sure if they are the right ones. also yesterday I reverted back to a earlier date and while ms was updating 26 updates so was firefox. The rest of the system seems ok. thanks for your help.

I've retrofitted as it were 38.0 which performs in precisely the same manner, now. I have huge lag times when typing in the search field, and incredibly slow page load. IE is performing perfectly (well, as perfectly as a connection with known current ssues in this node - but that's an ISP issue). I've tried a totally fresh install of both 38.0 and 38.01 removing all traces of Firefox via run/ %appadata%, everything Firefox-related from the HD (x64 program folder etc) and I'm stumped. IE is loading a little slowly but as stated before, known issue with my connection at times. Even using Firefox functions say within the options menu is taking 7-10 seconds to bring up. A new tab is taking, again, seconds to open.

I *was* running Adblock Plus 2.6.9, BetterPrivacy 1.68, EPUBReader 1.5.0.6, Norton Toolbar 2014.7.12.14, NoScript 2.6.9.22, Self-Destructing Cookies 0.4.7, StumbleUpon 4.19 and Xmarks 4.3.6. Only the Norton Toolbar was disabled upon auto-update, which I enabled. Then I disabled every add-on which did nothing. I did try re-installing 38.01 without the full brainwipe first in case I had a corrupted file, but...well, no change, ditto with two virgin installs of 38.01 and then 38.

I've just run a full system Norton scan - just 33 tracking cookies from IE (ugh). There's not a lot I can add having acted somewhat hastily in just wiping everything - but in my defence I've always been able to fix any FF niggles/annoyances myself (not scared to go into the guts when necessary to change values sanely from authoritative sources) when they've occurred. Usually a fresh install does the trick if things start looking really bad, once or twice over the years I've had to totally purge and start afresh but this is the first time that I've had that not work at all...

I know there's probably nothing anybody can suggest especially but I'm hoping!

Takes 20 to 30 times as long to input data or access web sites. Have un installed and reloaded. Took me about 5 minutes to type sentence above! Explorer works fine -- but I hate to go back to it.

Can't play games, access e-mail, browsing & typing this - is all jerky and very slow. How do I fix? I don't understand technical terms so need basic "click on this" instructions please. Can anyone help me? I have windows 7 and all my updates are automatically done. I use my laptop - I don't know how it works!!

hi ,

After the upgradtion of firefox to 38.0.1 today the browser responding very slowly. In case of typing , it takes 3-4 seconds of delay in displaying them on the browser.

Please have a look into this problem and fix the issue. looking forward to yoru support. thanking you, chandra mohan.

I noticed this first with a Google Sheet that was slow to update. It seems to be getting worse and when I have multiple tabs, many do not refresh. Additionally, when I am looking at a page like Google News and scroll down, many times the entire center column is a black box and does not always load images.

I have tried refreshing and it did not help. I started in Safe Mode and it seems to be much better so I am guessing it is a problem with add-ins? I am currently scanning for malware as well.

Any suggestions?

I have never had this problem with firefox. Opened on my windows 7 machine and everything is choppy and slow, every keystroke is delayed as is every response is delayed. It works but its wierd.

Tried reset, tried some fixes and finally uninstalled and reinstalled with out any success.

I am using google chrome and it runs fine and so does internet explorer and every other program.

Help!

If I move the cursor on a page, the movement is like stuttering. My keeying is faster than what is showing. I have refrewshed. imported again. I just have to wait a long time to see the results of my keying.

So...suddenly my Firefox (v. 38.0.1) is really laggy, with slow-to-respond buttons, scrolling etc. So I manually disable all addons, but to no avail. Then I try safe mode and it runs fine. Great. So I enable my addons again one by one, until they're all enabled and it's still running fine. My conclusion: it can't be the addons. What could it be that's causing this? I have updated all my addons and only have Silverlight, Flash, Google updater, Shockwave and a couple of others. One solution would be for this mode - Safe with addons running - to be my default startup mode, but I can't work out how to do that. It's no huge problem because I can make Firefox run fine, but it's a bit time consuming. Any ideas?

When starting Firefox normally keyboard and mouse input is very slow. Videos are choppy with interrupted sound. Scrolling is almost impossible. When starting in safe mode, Firefox runs very well. Internet Explorer works well as does Thunderbird. Have tried refreshing Firefox as well as disabling add-ons.

Two weeks ago I began to see a start up window that my password didn't match. Nothing more. No idea what password was now emerging as incorrect. Click OK and everything moved forward. I think it had to do with SYNC. Then in the past week, since Monday, May 25, 2015, it is incredibly slow, blinks, fogs, and sends "Firefox Not Responding" messages.

Tried Chrome, works fine. Tried Explorer on my work machine, fine. Not an Internet Service Provider issue. Not a machine issue. This is Firefox issue and with whatever changed, it makes the browser unusable. I suspect it has to do with Sync since that is the change noted. Hope you get it fixed soon. I appreciate the security of FF. I'll keep checking back, but so far, no improvement. Thanks in advance.

it takes for ever to type because of the display delay. I rebuilt system . all the way down to killdisk. no malware. check tonight. adobe reader was already on system.

Firefox has effectively stopped working. When I type anything it takes about 5 seconds for each character. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the browser. I have disabled all of the addons. Nothing seems to work. This started about three days ago. I cannot understand what caused it. It just started not working. I have done a scan for Malware but there is nothing on the computer.

I would appreciate any help with this problem.

I am suddenly having difficulty with Firefox. When I try to type into any open field on an open screen, there is a significant lag between the pressing of the keys and the characters appearing on screen.

This began occurring two days ago. I have not added any add ons to Firefox itself. I did download a program for reading magazines called Zinio.

Other programs, including Explorer, are working fine. I have downloaded a new copy of Firefox as well as tried refreshing the program, and neither helped.

Could Zinio be causing a problem in Firefox? Is there anything else that could be causing this problem?

I am running Windows 7 on a Dell that is less than two years old.
