Firefox is running slow, sluggishly, websites take a long time to load, to connect. I've done everything this board has suggested.

Firefox is really starting to annoy me. Sometimes it runs slow and sluggishly, other times it doesn't. Usually it does though. When I open new tabs, the connection icon will just keep swirling. I constantly get High CPU Useage alerts from my virus protection. I've done everything listed in the below articles. Does anyone have some advice? Firefox didn't use to be like this.
Thank you.

Alright, it's getting to the point where I can barely use FireFox anymore. It's getting worse by the day, I don't understand. Web pages take a LONG time to load, but sometimes they don't....it's hit or miss. But when they do take a long time, they take a long time.
It's getting very bad. I don't know much about computers, safe mode, and all that. It would really help if someone could walk me through what to do, like they would a 10-year old... actually a 10-year old probably knows more than me. Well you get the idea.
I really want to keep using this browser, but if I don't get it fixed I will have to stop. Like I said in the initial post, I've done all the things those two links suggested. It got better at first, but now it seems like it's gotten worse.

  • Why does some websites take a long time to load?

    so far i have found two websites that takes a very long time to load.
    and once they get there very little of the links or anything does not work
    they both work on IE but i hate that program and i would like to fix firefox but i do not know where to start

    After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
    /opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
    Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

  • The website takes a long time to lod and it does not display correctly the layout is expanded.

    When i try to load the website it takes a long time to load and when it does the layout is expanded and no images appear. The site has the same problems with IE and chrome. I did recently use Reginout.

    OK. If you believe that.
    When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
    I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

  • Takes a long time to load library

    recently when I click on itunes to initiate....it takes a very long time to load library. Never used to do this. Any advice on how to correct this.

    I have 192Gb of 999Gb left
    That should suffice.
    I have now disabled FACES, XML and previews. I'll test this shortly to see if it helps. I'm not sure what difference this will make to other apps.
    That will be important, when you want access the APerture library from other applications using te Media Browser or when you want to sync your images to your deviced usin iTunes. For images, that you want to use in the Media Browser you will need previews, or for browsing your aperture library in quick Preview mode. You can craete previews indivudally, if you do need them only for selected images. If you want to use the Media Browser with third party applications, however, you will also need the XML. See:
      Aperture 3.5: Set "Share XML with other applications" to "Never" for better performance and faster quit times
    Okay. I've closed Aperture and reopened it 4 times. It appears to go through this 'IMPORTING FROM iCloud November 2013' every time.
    Either it takes a very long time, or there is an image or a video in your Photo Stream that cannot be imported, because it is incompatible or corrupted.
    For iPhoto libraries it used to help, to remove the current "Importing" or "Auto Import" folder  from the library package. Try, if this will help for your Aperture library.
    See this post by LarryHN how to do it: 
    TS3745 Re: iphoto library error message???
    If you cannot get the import to stop this way, post back, Then you have to delete the photos from your Photo Stream or reset the Photo Stream.

  • Firefox takes a long time to load, even with add-ons and auto-update disabled

    When opening firefox it takes a long time (1 minute +) to load. The computer does not display any indication that firefox is loading (often leading to 2, 3 or 4 instances of Firefox trying to start due to my impatience).
    My OS is Windows Vista 32 bit
    Firefox is v4.0.1

    Can you check your Windows Firewall settings? It's possible that it's routing Firefox requests differently. At least one other Firefox user has reported that his Windows Firewall was set to block Firefox 3.6.

  • Qt development tools take a long time to load

    Hello everyone! Since the latest qt update I have noticed that all the qt development tools (creator, designer, assistant, etc) take a really long time to load up and their behavior is sluggish at best (for instance menus take a while to show up). When I start designer from the command line I get this error
    Qt at-spi: error getting the accessibility dbus address:
    "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
    the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
    Accessibility DBus not found. Falling back to session bus.
    After this the application needs a solid minute or two to show up. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? Have you experienced similar behavior?

    Same issue here after update to Qt5.
    QtCreator with Qt5 starts a lot slower than before with Qt4.
    Also i have notice another issue.
    All commands that requires mouse double click such as:
    > open a closed project's source/header/ui file
    > browse files to add in resources
    > select/edit resource item
    > browse source files to add to project.
    etc.
    now all these commands activated by single click.
    I solved that problem by recompile QtCreator against Qt4, and this strange behavour became past.
    [EDIT] Also with recompiled QtCreator, the problem with slow startup solved too. [/EDIT]
    Anyone have this problem too ?
    Is this an issue related to Qt5 ?

  • Why when I click on an app it takes a long time to load, like eBay or Pinterest.

    When I click on my apps, like Pinterest or eBay, it takes an extremely long time to load. This has just recently started happening and to my knowledge nothing has changed. Safari still appears to be running normally. Can anyone help me?

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • PDF documents take a long time to load on T520

    I bought my T520 this past summer and I have been happy with it, except it can take a long time to open PDF docs, between 5 and 30 seconds.  Whats up?  How can I fix this?
    My system:
    T520
    Core i7
    SSD
    4GB RAM
    Thanks for 

    Either adjust some settings or uninstall it. The issue is probably you have turned on some 'features' unknowingly. Some of the slow down are OCR, User Readibility (for the impaired eyes) etc, Adobe is trying to convert words into text to be read out?
    The other possibility is that you are opening a PDF file that has a large gigantic pictures (vector based) or that the fonts are 'special'. These take up lots of calculations. To test this, download a small PDF file and see if the slowdown still occurs. If it does, something is wrong with the internal structure of your PDF file
    My suggestion is to download the latest Adobe reader X and install this version, it's faster than the default Adobe 8 or 9 that comes with the lenovo.

  • Firefox takes a long time to load a website and sometimes won't open at all

    Firefox is running really slow and takes ages to load a website if it loads at all, i'm having the same problem with other browsers but Skype and Windows Messenger are working fine. I've reset my wireless a number of times but this doesn't solve the problem. It was fine earlier today but since this evening every time i attempt to open a website it won't work.

  • My mail is very slow, each email takes a long time to open. Any suggestions?

    Suddenly my mail accounts are taking a long time to open.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  Anyone else have the same situation?

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro as well - just the 15" model. I've been running Mountain Lion since it was released and have had no problems with my computer being slow, battery problems, etc. But some people did have problems with battery life after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Have you installed the 10.8.2 Combo Update as well as the Supplemental Update? It should 'fix' the battery problem. I've no idea why your computer is slow, but you may want to take a look at this user tip - Why is my computer slow?
    Good luck,

  • Since i updated, it take a long time to load

    Every time I start Firefox it takes long to come up
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after last update

    There are a couple reasons it may be taking a long time to start:
    * Extensions may be slowing it down. Some, including antivirus toolbars, Browser Highlighter, and Skype extension are known to cause delays. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    * If you are getting delays where the status bar says "Waiting for site" or "Connecting to", make sure Firefox is fully allowed in all firewall software. See [[Firewalls]]
