Firefox doesn't work properly with my new iMac Pro

[StephenM8]

Almost all websites that has internal search engines, like Expedia, Orbitz, Target, Amazon etc.. they don't work.. it just hangs when you try and search for a flight, a store.. whatever.. Any clue how to remedy this?

Thats a little of a bummer. Did you get that fixed and can you let me know other than this if you have successfully ran VM's on an iMac Pro? I can't even get an official testing and announcement of compatibility. Thank you.

still no luck.. I re-installed it and it seems to be getting worse.. It won't update any passwords either.. it will only do the one that it was originally on the machine when I transferred all of my data from my old iMac so even though I have changed passwords on many sites, it still populates the old one and then asks (do you want to update?) and I say yes and it never does.. Safari is fine, works on all, so I don't get what the deal is...Haven't tried VM's, so not sure there..

Ok, so I have some good news and a couple issues to solve yet but here is a Monday morning update. I just picked up base model machine iMac Pro yesterday and the VM's are running great so far and I can launch FireFox and Visual Studio within the Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 also runs fine. I can also launch FireFox in Mac OS X 13.3.3 just fine. FireFox version 58.02 64-bit straight from FireFox.com. The problems I still have is the disk space won't expand on one Windows 10 VM and I have more testing. I was able to finally install the Windows 2017 Fall Creator Update on and older Windows 10 VM which is awesome but I cannot expand that disk yet. But overall I am optimistic. Will report more shortly.

Hi Phillip: I've read you were able to install Win Server 2016? Is it true?

 

[PhillipL2]

robinno65 - Yes I have and SQL Server equivalent. In fact here is a screenshot of my Control Center and what is running really well right now. I am using the current and latest Parallels. Setting the cores to all 8 on the iMac Pro is great as I can really bang on the application for testing without moving the memory pressure into unsafe territory. In fact I had Windows 10, Windows 2016 and Windows 2012 R2 all running at the same time and maxed out the system to 30GB via Activity Monitor but this amazes me. I really only need to run 1 at a time so I think we are set. Thank you Apple and Thank you Parallels. I am dumping my whole 4 machine KVM solution with tons of cables for this really cleaning up the space. Fingers Crossed.

I still have problem installing WinServer 2016: it stops all times when creating the admin user...... the DOS window hangs :-(

My VM's have been setup for a long time now I just moved them to the iMac Pro so now you have me concerned on setting up a new VM. Huhm. Maybe I can try one in next few days.

Are you running Parallels desktop 13 and then installing server 2016?
