How do I speed up firefox. It loads very slow compaired to others

Firefox is very slow to load and slow bringing up web sites. I have cleared all stored items, still very slow
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After using the program for several months

You can speed up Firefox by tweaking some of the '''about:config''' settings from within Firefox. Here is the [http://www.ehow.com/how_2033391_enable-pipelining-firefox.html link]

  • 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.

    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop?  An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac.
    Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options:  ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
    Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck.  You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is.  If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it.
       If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache.
    Safari/Empty Cache
    Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
    Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top.  If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance.  Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.
    Too little ram - max out your ram.
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.  Which model Macbook Pro are you using?

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems? 

  • Firefox is working VERY SLOW the last 5 days(Signature: hang | )

    in the last 5 days i am experiencing terrible slowness to load firefox and during its function it loads very slow every page i choose.

    Speedy Fox does not help this problem. I've installed Firefox 5.0 on all the computers on our network just to get constant complaints that it is extremely slow. And it is. Taking minutes to load a page that IE loads in seconds. Or never loading a page at all. IE, Chrome and even Safari work well, Firefox is shit.
    Firefox has been declining for years. Once the best browser in the world, it is now floundering because of crappy programming and untested releases. I've HAD IT with this bullshit and this weekend will remove Firefox from ALL our business computers and install Chrome.
    Way to fuck up a perfectly good browser guys.

  • The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up.

    Question
    The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up. edit

    * The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
    * As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
    * Then opening Firefox again.
    Hopefully this helped somewhat!

  • Please help: Course loads very slow and takes almost 100% cpu and 1.08 GB memory

    The total page number is 129. We used Captivate 5.5. We have several Webpage widgets and a few videos. I tried to take out the web widgets and the videos, however, the course still loads very slow.
    I would really appreciate if someone can give somve suggestion.
    Thank you very much.

    Captain Ibuprofen, we actually continued having the slowness problem in the past week. Then one of our developers found out the reason: as same as yours, caused by the page number widget. I wish we would have seen your response earlier. But yeah, so now we took out the page number widget and everything goes normal.
    Also thanks for the tips on using the cpInfoCurrentSlide variable when adding the slide number. Thanks Andy.

  • ITunes loads very slow

    With over 48000 songs, itunes loads very slow. Thinking it my be my pc I loaded it onto a new pc and get the same results. Is there anything I can do to getit to load under 5 seconds at least?

    Dear Apple,
    I need to complain about the same problem. I have 1/10th the songs in i-Tunes (~4800) and I cringe every time I want to start the program. The same delay happens anytime I load or switch a CD to import a song.
    Google can load a billion links in a blink; can't you load a millionth of this info in the same amount of time? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
    Frustrated,
    -Mike

    You're not the only one with this problem. There is a long discussion, with some proposed solutions, in this thread (and searching for "slow" in the Pages forum will bring up other threads as well).

  • Firefox was downloading fast for my connection speed but now it is very slow, what can i do?

    Firefox was downloading at about 45-60 kbs, which is fast for my connection, just a few days ago, but now im lucky if it downloads at 20 kbs, what can I do to get my download speeds back to what they were? And I have already freed up space on my computer until I now have 50.8 GB of free space
    I have Vista 32 bit on my computer and the latest version of Firefox installed.
    == about 3 days ago

    here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.
    1. Type about:config in the address bar and then press Enter.
    2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not double-click to set true.
    HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.
    3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.
    4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened double-click on it and set it to true.
    5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
    Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.
    6. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING
    This preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
    Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:
    A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK
    B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK.
    7. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.
    Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
    A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK
    B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.
    8. CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL
    This option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
    A. Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
    B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.
    9. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER
    A. This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.
    B. Type content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.
    C. You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.
    10. Notify Backoffcount
    This option controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
    A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
    B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK.
    11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD
    You can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load.
    The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
    A. Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
    B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.
    12. NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY
    Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally, they display what’s been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn’t have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
    A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
    B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

  • Firefox 3.6.8 loads very slow as well as all inet sites

    been slow since uploaded to 3.6.8. set cache to empty when ff shuts down. worked very fast for 5-6 uploads then reverted to very slow again. tried safe mode without add-ons. no change.

    I had the same problem tried all the tips, from customizing ff settings to add-ons cleaning...
    Firefox taked minimum 30 seconds to start.
    My problem was my AV, Kaspersky 9.0.0.736
    I put
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\Lolo\Application Data\Mozilla\
    in trusted zone.
    Now he starts in 3 seconds.
