Firefox takes about 20 - 45 seconds to start up?

Ok i have extensions (all useful to me) and firefox takes at least 20-45 seconds to start up, i tried preloader and it didn't show a difference! Please help!!

Turn on telemetry so at least the information is reported and made available to developers.
* [[Send performance data to Mozilla to help improve Firefox]]
Turn on Firefox Health Report (FHR) so that you see your own information about startup.
*[[Firefox Health Report - understand your browser performance]]
**'''[[Firefox Health Report says your browser is running slower than usual]]'''
* [[Firefox takes a long time to start up]]
Experiment to see if any particular addon slows Firefox startup and if so consider enabling that addon when it is needed instead of at startup. ead the article linked above for other ideas.
If you wish to provide feedback please use
*'''https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback'''
We are fellow users of Firefox. Developers will not see this forum.
Input comments are categorised and aggregated and the results made available to developers.
Once FHR has been running a while it will graph your startup times. I am not sure what the startup time in the FHR graph is based on, but I guess it may be ''FirstPaint'' time.
I note the average first paint time is about 3 seconds with most people between 2 and 8 seconds http://mzl.la/1kWpnhW (Those graphs may not look very good)

  • Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start even after reinstalling.

    Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start. I have tried reinstalling with no change. It isn't antivirus software, as I turned that off and it was still slow. I run Vista Ultimate. Internet Explorer loads very quickly.

    I wish my Firefox would load in 16 seconds!! It takes 3 to 4 mins to load but closes almost instantly.

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • After upgrade to Mavericks, iPhoto takes about 40 seconds to start

    Occasionally, after a restart, it opens almost immediately.  Have replaced the app and the iPhoto Library from Time Machine backup with no luck. Computer is 21.5 inch iMac, 4 GB RAM.  iPhoto runs plenty fast once it finally loads.  About 2,000 photos.  Any ideas?

    Additional info:  The app partially starts up and the thumbnails appear.  Then the beachball rolls for 30-40 seconds and then finally launches completely.  Here is the console log.

  • Firefox crashes about 5 seconds after start up. Has worked fine for months. No changes made to settings etc

    *resolved*

    If you are running Firefox 3.6.13, you really should update to Firefox 12, as the version you have is very insecure, unstable and out of date. I'm assuming since you marked as resolved you got your issue taken care of.

  • Opening files from a Novell-Share takes about ten seconds

    Hi there,
    first a few information about our environment:
    Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 Clients with Novell Client installed in latest version
    Windows Server 2008 R2 DCs
    Network-shares based on Novell Netware
    When accessing files on Novell-Shares for the first time it takes about 10 seconds to open. Reopening it or any other file at this location again is totally fast. Waiting about 15 minutes after closing the file causes the lag again.
    We traced our client-side network traffic and saw many Netbios-queries which failed because our WINS-Servers do not know the Netware-Servers. So first it tried it using every WINS-Server (three in our env.) and then on broadcast in the local subnet three
    times. It got no answer and timed out.
    So the next step I tried was to disable Netbios-over-TCP/IP with the radio buttons in the Network Adapter settings. After a reboot, the problem reoccured, but there were no more Netbios queries in the trace.
    After days of searching for a solution I tried to stop the "TCP/IP-Netbios-Helper"-Windows Service on spec. And suddenly every network share access was totally fast. We tried this with other clients, too. Same behavior! We even did not disable
    the NetBios-over-TCP/IP setting. Stopping the service was all we needed to do.
    Unfortunately disabling the service causes problems. The Windows-Login fails with a message "No Logon servers available". Using the full qualified user name ("[email protected]") works. But then we saw that policies were not applied.
    Any ideas, what could cause the lag? Or is it possible to disable this service without any side-effects?
    Bye,
    Jürgen

    Hi,
    What is the result if we access files on other network shares?
    I found a thread in novell forum and suggestion is checking the provider order and put Netware first, open network and sharing center, change adapter settings, Select Advanced on the menu> Advanced settings, Click on Provide Order Tab and change order.
    And have you contact the novel support team? They're more familiar with this product.

    are you using sample base instruments in those projects a lot using exs or kontakt? when paths to samples get messed up for some reason it can result in along waiting times each time a project is loaded.
    lately my kontakt samples get loaded without any sign of activity. if it is a large orchestral score i see a dead screen for quite a while before suddenly everything pops up and is ready to work with. i recall seeing progress bars or similar things in the past though...
    repair permissions and defragging (idefrag) may help as well.
    btw. i can drink as much coffee as i want late at night, even five minutes later i can sleep well. seems i am immune. but right now i am also having plenty of hardware issues to deal with so that's a good thing i guess...!

  • Activation of Samsung 226BW Monitor takes about 15 seconds

    Since I have upgraded Mac OS X to Yosemite (10.10) (currently using 10.10.1) my Samsung SyncMaster monitor (226 BW) on Thunderbold takes about 15 seconds for activation. Before I can see a picture on the monitor there is just a rustle with gray and black. I also know a second case where this problem is absolutely the same.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this? I am using the original Apple Thunderbold to DVI adapter. The problem only occurs if I plugin the thunderbold adapter while my MacBook Pro is already running.

  • Firefox takes around 30 seconds to open a new window (not tab) when i click on the icon in my start menu or taskbar why?

    When i click on the firefox icon in the menu it takes around 30 seconds to open firefox and i have no idea why.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When I click the MFF desktop icon Firefox takes exactly 30 seconds to load, is that right?

    ''Duplicate post, continue here -'' [/questions/752057]
    I have just installed Firefox and it takes 30s from clicking the desktop icon to loading the home page. Tabs only take about 2s, is this right?
    IE loads in 2-3 s.

    The answers you have got above are correct.
    However, if your FF otherwise feels snappy when browsing - and a second restart (aka. warm start) of FF is much faster than the first - then you could try my suggestions here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/762446#answer-119951
    The slow load time on a cold start is an old "classic" problem for FF.
    Mozilla may work on a solution or not, but meanwhile I'm happy with this work around.

  • AR8 freezes for about 40 seconds after start

    Hi,
    I use SuSE Linux 10.0 on a Thinkpad R51 and I installed the 8.1.1 enu rpm version of adobe reader and I use a dual head xinerama display.
    Biggest problem:
    Adobe Reader starts up normally and for about 2 secs, it can be used normally. Then, it freezes for about 40 seconds. Nothing is possible in this time. Afterwards, a normal use is possible.
    Minor problem:
    Everytime I open a PDF document with the Firefox plugin (FF 2.0.0.6), the plugin seems to be loaded and initialised again. This is very time consuming. In AR7, one had to wait for plugin initialisation only when opening the first pdf document.
    Is there a plan to fix these issues? Otherwise, I will downgrade to AR 7.0.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al,
    Could you answer the following questions in regards to your problem, for us to better understand the problem scenarios -
    Regarding your first problem ---
    1. The freeze after launch is happening on "every" launch of the reader, or is it occassional?
    2. When the reader window is hung, do you see any sort of progress bar or alert on the screen?
    3. If you try to launch the the reader from the terminal, do you see any alert/warnings on the console while the reader is hung?
    There is also a small exercise we would like you to do, in order to verify a known issue (you would need 'root' access to do the following) -
    * Temporarily rename the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" (the font folder under /usr/X11R6) to something else (say "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts_dummy").
    * Restart acroread a couple of times.
    Do you still see the problem of the application getting hung? Please do let us know your observations. Also don't forget to restore the name of the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" back to its original name.
    Regarding your second problem ----
    The behaviour is basically due to the browser's handling of external plugins. In Reader 7.0 due to some issues, we sometimes missed indicating to the browser that our work was done, and that is why an instance of the plugin persisted.
    This was however corrected and in Reader 8 we now correctly tell the browser when the PDF file is closed. It is at this point that the browser should decide whether to keep the plugin loaded or to close and unload it. And it seems that at present Firefox immediately unloads us after the last document is closed.
    Anyway thanks for pointing out the problem. We'll take note of it and try to find a workaround to improve the performance in the future release.
    Regards
    Salil
