View 5 RepliesI was using Freespire but the version of Firefox was old and I read that Freespire was an old and obsolete OS, so I installed Ubuntu 10.4. I like everything about it so far but Firefox browser is very slow. It can take up to 30 seconds sometimes to load a web page. Just surfing the web is difficult. I do have high speed internet service and a router, I have an XP and a Vista system both are fine and even this system when it had Freespire was fine. It just started when I installed Ubuntu.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI currently have 10.04 desktop version installed on my desktop. However my firefox seems to be running extremely slow. Can anyone guide me on the way of checking the system. Mostly is there a command that I can run that will kill all my unwanted processes. I do not do a whole lot on this desktop besides ssh and telnet to other devices and use firefox.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....

I tried firefox 3.6.x .3.5.x 4.x, perhaps it's necessary to know that I've GSB installed. I didn't understand this.
I tried changing the memory browsing size in firefox which seemed to help a little but the browser became slow again.
How to speed up this system here are some specs:
system
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
Kernel 2.6.28-18-generic
GNOME 2.26.1
browser
Namoroka
hardware
749.9MB of memory
900Mhz AMD Athlon
30GB harddrive
My PC Internet runs through a DDWRT flashed wireless G router set on repeater mode which allows me to connect to the router in my basement to broadband.
I have this problem. It seems like a new problem to me, but maybe it isn't. When I scroll in web browsers its really slow and erratic but when I'm in nautilus is fine. What could the problem be?
View 1 Replies View Related1. My Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala always going slow when i Open OPERA Browser. Is it Normal?
2. Sometimes i got my Karmic Animation like a... i dont know, just play it slower than usual. Is it Normal?
I was using Compiz Animation. [minimize, maximize, close, etc] Is that thing make my Karmic running slow?
firstly it took a very long time to display the browser.After the browser was working on my localmachine it took really long time to show the response.I am doing all this on internet and the server has bandwidth as 6Mbps and my internet connection has a speed 1Mbps what could be the reason for such a slow response.The same exists in case of Chromium is there a way to make it fast.Ubuntu 10.04 server edition and ssh2.

When I watch videos within my browser, they play fine until I expand it to full screen, then the frame rate slows way down.
I've been reading related posts, If I install the gecko media player, will that solve this problem?
Is anyone else seeing high CPU usage with this new kernel while using Firefox 4? I didn't have this problem before this update. If I boot into the previous kernel there is no problem surfing the web with Firefox 4
This kernel update has made browsing the web very slow and scrolling the browser window incredibly slow to the point of frustration.
Should this be reported as a bug or an issue with the new kernel or has anyone already reported this issue?

I have Chromium and Firefox installed on Karmic. HTML files by default open with Chromium. I try to set Firefox as the default application through the "Other application..." dialog, but it opens the file through Firefox once, then after it goes back to Chromium
View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried Chrome, but I still like Firefox better. I can't figure out how to get Firefox back as the default browser. When I go to Preferences --> Prefered Applications, web browser is set to Firefox.
I found this post...[url]
They said to run this command...
Code:
Tried that and it didn't help either. When clicking on link icons on my desktop, they open up in Chrome. Chrome says something to the extent "chrome is not your default browser to open links with. Do you want to make it?" I selected No and checked the box to not show it again. (That's why the above is not exactly what it said.) Kind of funny it said that yet it still opened up with Chrome and not Firefox.
I cannot set Firefox to be my default browser in Ubuntu 10.10. It used to be the default until I installed Chromium last year. Since then, Ubuntu Software Center, LibreOffice, EverNote (through Wine) and probably other apps open links in Chromium instead of Firefox.
I tried several solutions to no avail :
- System > Preferences > Preferred Applications : Web Browser = Firefox I tried with the custom command too : "firefox %s" => still opens Chromium.
- Firefox internal preferences : firefox = default
- Chromium internal preferences : chromium is NOT the default
- stuff like "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" set to firefox => another fail
- uninstalling Chromium : that works, Firefox opens all the links. Obviously it is not the desired solution as I want to use Chromium too.
- in Gnome Configuration Editor, there are no mention of chromium and /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command = firefox %s

View 1 Replies View Relatedim using firefox 3.5.7 with ubuntu 9.10 but firefox since 3.5.6 and 3.5.7 keeps crashing a lot-just now it crashed my entire system-the whole screen went black. So to that end is use of opera or chrome secure for ubuntu?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have ubuntu version 4.10 with Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player plugin but I do not know how to get the plugin installed. I can navigate through the terminal a little but still learning. I do not know how to save the (.tar.gz) download to the desktop so it can be unpackaged and then copied to the usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. I am hoping the same procedure to install this plugin will be the same for the rest of the browser plugins.
