Firefox 13 very slow compared to IE or Chrome despite Fastestfox

Firefox is very slow compared to IE 8 or Google Chrome despite Fastestfox plugin and the server connection is interrupted all the time when I try to load sites, and I have to re-load again and again (this also happens wehn I clicked on HELP)... I also could not restart in safemode as I didn't find it... Please help, as I would like to use Firefox...

I noticed firefox 13.0.1 is very slow after gradual use. Even my computer is slowing down when using it.. All this nonsense about the addon or extension seems like Bull...
Im thinking of using version 3.6.28 which was wayyyy faster. Mozilla need to make more quality products.
I recommend either going back to Internet Explorer or using Firefox 3.6.28, i really hope mozilla's next browser ver 14 is way faster...

  • New Firefox Very Slow Bookmarks all gone restore not working Can I get them back?

    Woke up today to new firefox update installed. Now Firefox VERY slow & all of my Bookmarks are gone as well as Bookmarks Toolbar empty. IE runs fast like usual, but Firefox barely loading.
    Tried Restore from available dates, but all come back unable to process.

    Some of you will want to shoot me; Mozilla may yank this reply. BUT I had the same problem for about a week, struggled in vain, poured over the help section and got 3 replies to my posted question. Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
    Want to know what solution I finally came up with? '''''CHROME.'''''
    It imported my precious bookmarks from IE and FF. I'm going to uninstall IE now and leave FF as an emergency backup browser which I don't expect to need anymore.

  • Firefox very slow loading most pages, sometimes error message :"can't find server for......." ....."

    Firefox is very slow loading pages, some pages never load, sometimes error message stating "cannot connect to server" Router is not an issue I don't think as other computer connected to it has no problems. Used Malwarebytes to clean up problems, only 5 found. Internet Explorer does not have the same problems.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

    but still slow.
    some people says it's must because flash or some js.
    but when  i try it in windows or ubuntu, it very fast, not like in archlinux.
    so i think some thing wrong in archlinux.  I need your helps.

    1.  pacman is very fast (the speed of wget about 400k/s)
    2.  gnome web browser like firefox , slow and high cpu.
    3.  the list of output of 'locale'  about 11 lines.

  • FireFox VERY slow with Norton Toolbar 4.6 on GMAIL and B of A, etc.

    Using XP Pro SP3 and FireFox 3.6.7, but has been slow for a while now. If I disable Norton ToolBar 4.6 (from NIS 2010) it is OK but IE 8 is fine. What happens is that GMAIL logs in and just hangs for a while. Even B of A or the Norton site. Even my ISP's site is VERY slow. A lot of forums are slow as well. Seems like sites that need a log-in have this issue.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://gmail.google.com

    I had done this and disabled ALL of the addons/plugins, and it was fine. As soon as I enabled the Norton toolbar, the problem was back. I then enabled everything except the Norton Toolbar and it was still good. I believe this is a Firefox issue as IE 8 works well with the Norton Toolbar enabled. I also see this when I go to my Netflix queue. Firefox is very slow while IE 8 shows the list quickly.

  • Firefox very slow on battery power

    I just recently got a new Dell XPS 15 (2014 model) with windows 8.1 Everything works smooth except firefox. It's very slow, sluggish and unresponsive. It takes several seconds to start up and every time i load a site I have to wait for it to respond to any input. All the other browsers work fine.
    Scrolling is also terrible, it's very laggy. I already tried starting firefox in safe mode to no avail.
    This effect seems worse on battery power. When plugged in it's still there but not as bad.
    What are some options to fix this problem?

    you need to enable Pipelining , please follow the instructions on this videos and you'll get it right .

  • Firefox very slow and Thunderbird not responding with new HP laptop.

    I recently purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 8. I had been using Firefox and Thunderbird on both my old laptop and desktop with no problem. However, since trying to use both on my new machine, Firefox has slowed down to the point of making it impractical to use. And whenever I log into Thunderbird, it takes at least 10 minutes and more before Thunderbird becomes responsive.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any solutions?

  • Safari is very slow compared to other ipod

    When using safari it is very slow tobrowse web pages. My wife also has an ipod touch and she can browse the internet no problem. it makes no difference if only my ipod is connected ti the net or both of them, my wifes is always a lot quicker. Sometimes it is taking 30-60 seconds to open a page.
    any suggestions?

    I realize that, but I also got the same speeds with my other wireless laptop (thinkpad t420s). The speed should be at around 50 Mbps regardless of whether it's wired or wireless according to my test.
    So if it's an antenna issue, does it mean I need to have the macbook serviced at an apple store?
    I'm not really interested in getting a range extender, it's not something I feel I should need, especially when I have another laptop getting 3x faster speeds without the need for one.

  • Firefox very slow when first loading pages from new domains.

    I've noticed that when starting the browser or opening up a new site it takes a considerably longer amount of time to load all the JS and assets compared to Chrome. Typically an extra 10 to 20 seconds, which is seriously annoying and nontrivial. After I've loaded the first page from the site Firefox is usually pretty fast on loading new pages from the same domain.
    Firefox also sometimes fails to render CSS, resulting in a white page in Times New Roman and misplaced images.
    I've tried setting up a new installation of Firefox and it hasn't solved the problem. Also tried Firefox portable with no addons and I got the problem straight out of the gate. It seems to be a problem with the code as Chrome and my internet connection work just fine. I've tried using Google as my primary DNS (8.8.8.8) which hasn't changed much.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Firefox very slow on pages with HTML textareas

    I have a webpage with several hundred separate TEXTAREA fields within a single FORM.
    Firefox handles this but excruciatingly slowly. Google Chrome handles the same page very very quickly and IE8 is somewhere in between the two.
    Please try to improve performance on TEXTAREAs since I could not bear the thought of recommending any browser other than Firefox to my users.

    Ah - thank you for the prompt reply.
    It is actually taking about 6 seconds for my page to appear on-screen; thereafter typing into one of the textareas seems okay. The same screen paints in half-second using Google Chrome

  • SQL report  in 9.2.1 is very slow compared to 7.3

    Hi,
    I have an sql report which takes only 5 minutes (oracle version 7.3) is taking almost double the time(one or two user accessing the system) with oracle version 9.2.1.
    This report sums the total amount grouped by date field using two tables. Data is exported from 7.3 and imported to 9.2. Indexes are same and the explain plan gives the same resultand runs on unix tru64. Other PL sql and proc programs performance is good compared to version 7.3
    Any idea why the statement is slow.
    Thanks

    It seems using F9 is the same as Ctrl+Enter, it just repeats the execution. I tried running "select count(*) from <table>" using a basic connection against a remote 11.2 DB, where the <table> had anywhere from 20K to 60K rows, on both 2.1.0.63 and 3.0.02.31. Regardless of the version, or table size, or repeated execution, all executions ran from 0.062 to 1.4 seconds. Sometimes successive executions run faster, sometimes not. Depends on what the database server and the network are doing.
    The <table> cases all happened to have indexes, so Autotrace showed the DB doing an index fast full scan. Even with dropping the index on the 60K table and forcing a table full access, the count(*) came back in under 0.25 sec, so the table needs to be bigger for lack of index to make a difference.
    Possibly the database version could be a factor, I haven't tested on 9i or 10g, but then that wouldn't really make much sense for simple counting. You are no doubt aware of the impact that file system or DB buffer caching could have on this type of test. Here is a post from Ask Tom on the same:

  • BI 7: Background activation very slow compared to Dialog activation

    We are using the SAP BI 7.0 with SP15 and this question is about efficiency of dialog process compared to inefficiency of the background process and I want suggestions from SAP Basis/BI experts on this.
    We have observed that our background processes on BI server are not running as efficiently as we would like them to run.
    For example
    DSO activation:
    When I use u201CDialogu201D mode for DSO Activation with 3 parallel processes, I can activate a certain DSO with in 15 seconds. But the same DSO and the same data package when activated using u201Cbackgroundu201D mode with 3 parallel process takes about 15 minutes.(there are plenty of background processes available on the system when this activation is running). So dialog process runs 60 times faster than background process.
    We saw the job log in SM37 when activation was running in the background mode and log showed that system 
    u201CProgram RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS successfully scheduled as job BIBCTL_49VQYEYSLA9SH00QBYNN3MTUV with ID XXXXXu201D was executed internally about 100 times.
    In BI 7 most of the operations can be executed only in the background parallel mode. And from the activation example we know that our background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. It is understood that in general the background processes will not be as efficient as dialog processes, but in our case the difference is a factor of 60. We want help to identify, why the background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated. This may be System Bug in SAP BI 7

    I am having this same issue in SP15.  Did you find any solution?
    I am finding my activation is slow for the number of records being activated.  The process RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS successfully scheduled as job BIBCTL_49VQYEYSLA9SH00QBYNN3MTUV with ID XXXXXu201D was executed internally about many, many times.  And if you look at the aggregate time of all of these schedulings this is what is taking soo much time.  Our batch job table is not large so this is not the problem.
    Any more ideas?

  • I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

    Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

    Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
    though. If I use a relational database and try to
    access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
    wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
    data?
    Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.
