Firefox has become absurdly slow opening webpages. Can take a minute + to load. Please help.

This started over a week ago. I try to link to a webpage (either from a link on another page, a bookmark or an email) and I can end up waiting for over a minute for the page to load. I have checked my PC's Internet speed (excellent), malware and viruses (none), firewall issues (none - in fact, the problem persists even with the firewall completely disabled), I've even upgraded my modem (no change). The problem affects Firefox and also Chrome and IE. It does *not*, however, affect my laptop or notebook. I'm at wits end at this point and any other ideas to fix this would be appreciated.

If it affects multiple browser then it must be caused by other software on your computer.
Try to reset (power on/off) the router.
Try to disable IPv6.

Problen pening FIRST email when opening Gmail. Takes few minutes to load.

Updated to new firefox as I had problem when I tried to "open a new tab". After installing update I now have problem opening FIRST email when opening Gmail. Takes few minutes to load. After the first one, then all the others open instantly w/no problems. I have not noticed other problems on computer.

No problems here, so no fix required.

Firefox has become extremely slow in the recent times

Firefox suddenly has become very slow. It takes too much time to load all websites and even the typed words and scrolling has a great delay in appearing. It becomes unresponsive very often. I tried reinstalling it and even reset it. Its becoming a pain to use this to surf the net. Please do help!!

I also have found that Firefox has become a dog. I've followed one thread that disabled the plugin-container with no help. 20.0.1 can hang for over a minute and actually hog my entire CPU so I can't even start Chrome! I like my FF plug-ins, but the performance problems of FF 20 are becoming intolerable and no one seems to know what the heck! Chrome does not present the problems and I have been visiting and working at the same websites. If many folks are encountering this mess, I suspect that FF is done for. I have actually found that the Android FF is also tending to slow down my smartphone - stall it! I am a few days away from just removing FF from my computing life.

Firefox used to load igoogle in 15 seconds; now it takes TEN minutes to load. HELP

Firefox used to load my iGoogle page in 15 seconds; now it takes TEN minutes to load this page. Help

Its not only iGoogle, But 99% sites open up pretty slow with Firefox 3.6.*. When you first hit the site, it half loads and then slowly loads remaining , sometimes take 5-10 Minutes, and sometimes it never loads or you have to hit enter again to fully load the site. Firefox 3.6.* is disgusting...Please this is serious. I recommend users to switch back to 3.510; its the most stable one.

My MacBook Pro has become unbearably slow. What can I do to get it back to its normal (peak) performance?

When I originally purchased my MacBook Pro a few years ago, it was blazing fast. Since then the reaction time of the CPU has gotten progressively worse to the point where the laptop is virtually unusable. Windows are laggy and slow to load. Apps will become unresponsive for apparently no reason. Nothing seems to make it better. I cannot pick out a specific time or event that may have acted as a catalyst for this loss in performance. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hello, I'm having a problem with my mac's speed as well, though I don't think it is memory that's causing it.
It's brand new, late 2011 , has had os x lion from the get go. currently have version 10.7.2
Free space 474.69 GB
free RAM 1.65 GB
It takes about 10 mintues from turning on to get to my desktop screen, and the little pinwheel comes up constantly when trying to open an app. typing lags for 5-6 seconds when i type one letter, and the internet alternates from moderate speed to showing lots of pinwheel spinning. It also takes 3-5 minutes to turn off when before it used to be seconds. When it falls 'asleep', it often doesn't wake up, at least not for a few minutes.
I tried safe boot, but i didn't see any difference in speed when i restarted.
I tried resetting the PRAM, no difference
I then tried command R for the disk utility, and i believe i clicked on repair permissions for the hard drive (the one that said macintosh Hd);
it ended up displaying "open error messages"- that mentioned AirPort Utility and various font names. Despite saying the the repair had less than a minute, it stayed on this screen for a good 30-40 min until i was fed up and shut it down
I really don't know what else could have done this; the only other thing i downloaded was realplayer sp, but I got rid of it all and everything i downloaded with it. I don't have any huge programs like photoshop either. I don't have any other users created aside from just me.
please help.

Your hard disk is failing and requires replacement. Replacement is not terribly expensive and can be performed by someone sufficiently adept with computer repair. If that's not you, an Apple Store can perform the replacement.
Back up your data ASAP.

Firefox has become noticeably slower - particularly in closing - i haven't timed it but sometimes it seems to take at least a minute for it to finally close - any suggestions?

i also get a message sometimes that says something is going wrong with a script - i always choose to stop the script - i don't know if its related
the slow closing isn't an every time occurrence but happenes more than 50% of the time - it seems to get worse the longer Firefox has been open

My first reaction is it sounds like you're pocket dialing your passcode? In iOS 6, it used to be you could go Diagnostics & Usage Data under Settings and see if things were crashing on your phone due to bad memory, but don't know if that works in iOS 7.0.4 on the 4s, but that's the first thing I'd look for. (I think crash notifications return in iOS 7.1?)

After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Yosemite has become terribly slow. It may take >1 min. to open a program in the dock (e.g. Word). At RARE times, it perks up for several seconds and then it's back to crawl. I've run DiskWarrior to no avail. Clicking on almost anything produces the beachball for 15 to 30 seconds. Switching Start up disk to my other int. HD or my ext. HD produces no change. I need advice!!
10 GB RAM. Mid 2010 MacPro. OS 10.10.1

Only 2 applications in the left column os Console: 1Password and Cocktail. I was using the latter to try to empty caches, thinking that might help. The log for Cocktail on 12-17 & 12-18 is below. Then 12-19 for 1Password.

Ever since I updated my Mac to Maverick it has become exceedingly slow everywhere. Also annoying, when I go into Applications to open something, it now automatically opens 3 things I don't need. What can I do to fix this?

Ever since I updated my Mac to Maverick it has become exceedingly slow everywhere. Also annoying, when I go into Applications to open something, it now automatically opens 3 things I don't need. What can I do to fix this?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

Hey there,
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
 
After you've done this, you could try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope this helps!

Firefox has become absurdly slow opening webpages. Can take a minute + to load. Please help.
