Firefox 5.0 is slow to load Facebook???

I hate to say it, but it seems that Firefox 5.0 takes a looooong time to load Facebook on the first open. Once it does load, Facebook moves quickly. But, close Firefox, reopen it, and reload Facebook, it's slow again. Any idea as to why?
I just checked all my add-ons and they're all up-to-date. I will begin a full scan of my computer soon, but with the security programs I have (Avast!, Malwarebytes, Spyware Terminator, and Ad-Aware) I don't think its a virus or malware.
Thank you for your help.

I'm pretty sure that Firefox version 5.0 has a built-in Twitter tab. Whatever the case may be, I downloaded Firefox version 5.0.1 this morning. I learned that if you right-click on a tab, that a menu box will appear on the screen. One of the options in that menu box is "Pin as App Tab." If I go to the http://twitter.com web site, and then right-click on the corresponding Twitter tab, and then select "Pin as App Tab," then a small Twitter tab will appear to the right of the orange-and-white "Firefox" tab ( in the upper left-hand corner of the Firefox web browser screen ). Then I can click on that Twitter tab and go directly to the http://twitter.com web site. However, when I exit the Firefox version 5.0.1 web browser, and then immediately re-launch it, the separate Twitter tab is gone. Is there any way, within Firefox version 5.0.1, that I can make the separate Twitter tab permanent after selecting "Pin as App Tab"? Thank you for your assistance regarding this matter.

  • Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

    Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

    I have the exact same problem.
    Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
    Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
    How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
    Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

  • Why is Firefox 3.6 soooo slow to load and start?

    I recently upgraded my version to 3.6 - as advised on your website when I saw a newer version was available. However it takes ages to load up and start. It can take at least 5 minutes to start up! Driving me to start using IE!!! I have uninstalled and re-installed from your website several times and it doesn't change anything. I have used a new profile and still the same! Occasionally after 10 mins it comes up with a dialog box say Firefox can;t find or is having trouble running a script. After first seeing this I uninstalled and reinstalled again as I thought it had become corrupt. But after doing this several times it is still the same old slow Firefox! And I thought new versions were supposed to improve things!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I upgraded to the latest 3.6 version

    Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. Try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See [[Managing profiles]]or One of your add-ons might be the culprit too. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Firefox keeps hanging while trying to load facebook

    I have been using firefox on my laptop for over a year now and haven't had a problem until the other day. I have been reading through multipul articles trying to fix my problem but yet nothing has helped. It started the other day when all of a sudden firefox just crashed and closed. When re-launching it it would just freeze. After playing around with it I ended up just uninstaling it and then re-downloading it which seamed to fix the problem then. It worked fine until today. Out of nowhere when I would open firefox it would just freeze. Ive now narrowed it down to just freezing while trying to load my news feed on facebook. I have created a new profile, disabled all un-needed pluggins and addons and tweeked with firefox's settings to try and fix this but nothing has helped. ):
    also just as I was trying to recieve the troubleshooting information it froze aswell.

    Can someone please help? Haha, I'm sure there's a simple explanation to this.

  • Firefox is very-very slow at gmail, facebook, etc & shows several errors. How could I remove them?

    Firefox often shows errors like - 'error #101, #102 ' , etc and takes several time to load a page in spite of being a new version.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Firefox periodically slow to load sites

    For the past 5.5 days, Firefox will periodically be slow to load sites. This happens with any site and even as other browsers such as Chrome or Internet Exploder run just fine. Internet connection not working right has also been ruled out. I tried clearing the cookies and cache and that didn't do anything. As it happens at random intervals, I have no idea what else might be causing it

    Avast anti-virus and Windows Firewall. If either of them have something to do with the slowness problem, it would be the first time they've caused a problem

  • Using Firefox 7 loads Facebook very very slowly whereas Firefox 6.0.2 has no problems nor does IE

    When I or my family attempt to load Facebook and the apps it either takes forever or not at all to load. Other websites are slow, but not as bad. This happens only when we upgrade to Firefox 7, but when using Firefox 6.0.2 we do not have any problems what so ever.

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Slow image loading in Facebook and other sites.

    In some sites, especially Facebook, I've a slow image loading. For example, when I search for a person on Facebook, then the profile image of poeple takes 6-7 secons to load.
    I've installed Firefox yesterday, so I exclude that I have to delete cookies, etc. With Chrome, Facebook load images much more faster. Re-installing shockwave, the loading is faster, but not enough.
    Any suggestions?

    After looking around a bit, I found an add-on called FastestFox.
    You can find the add-on here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/fastestfox-browse-faster/ FastestFox].
    I haven't done too much research to the actual add-on itself, but after installing it in Firefox myself and using the Facebook person searcher I noticed the images and also other things like websites loading a lot faster.
    I hope this add-on helps you.
    Edit: The add-on adds some extra options when you right click a website (to download things from the website). You have to decide if you think this is worth the extra speed.

  • Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! Maybe it's because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up. All other browsers work normally.

    My Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! I don't know how this happened. May it is because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up.... But I don't know how to make it work. All other browsers work normally, and I'm scanning for viruses even though my anti-virus did not warn me of anything... I tried to download a keygen and this is what happened. I can't figure out what it is. Not a connection problem. I even tried to uninstall an re-install firefox, but still nothing worked.

  • Firefox 4.0 keeps locking up and is slow to load pages

    I just installed 4.0 this morning. Ever since, Hotmail is extremely slow to load, it keeps locking up or not responding.
    I thought this was supposed to be faster and more streamlined?
    Now, when I try to go back and install 3.6.13 it is no longer available. What gives? I want my old Firefox back.

  • Firefox is slow to load and view pages and repeated "Firefox is not responding" message

    Firefox is quite slow to load and view pages with and I keep getting the "Firefox is not responding" message.
    I have the latest version, plus the latest Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, etc.

    Note that Firefox 36 has been released officially.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

    Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
