Why firefox is slower than chrome?

I switched to chrome because of this...

<blockquote>
The issue may be due to the difference in the page rendering technology used by Chrome and Firefox. </blockquote>
dileepkumars1: Mozilla uses Spidermonkey (written by Eich in 10 days!) for Firefox whilst Google uses their own V8 engine.
'''gedaiu''': 
Hi, sorry you're having problems with Firefox. Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
*Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

Why is java slower than C and C++

Hi Guys:
I would like to know why Java is slower than C and C++ in terms of compilation speed...
Does it have to do with the fact that Java compiles to byte code first and then the JVM translates byte code to machine code which your processor can understand. whereas C and C++ compiles directly to machine code...
Any ideas on that,...let me know..

It's not necessarily. I would suggest that it always is; whencomparing
specific tasks.I would suggest that is never is (significantly)
when non-trivial and non-specialized applicationsare
involved. Requirements and design always have a
much greater impact.There's no doubt that the design is the most
important
aspect when writing a program, but assuming those
things
are equal, the fact is that a c program will be
faster.Yes, but given the fact that there is almost zero chance that the requirements, design and implementation will be optimal, it means that the real differences between the languages are insignificant compared to the real difference caused by the other factors.
In the theorectical world C/C++ is faster. In the real world, most of the time, it is not significant.

Why is Firefox about 5 times slower than chrome on same tablet?

Hei, I love the idea behind firefox, but as mobile browser it feels very slow.
Using the zimbra ajax email client, firefox mobile on a powerfull sony xperia tablet z takes 25s to start up, and even then, usage is laggy. Chrome on the same device starts in 5s and works smooth.
About the same results I get with http://tagesschau.de firefox mobile takes several seconds to display the page readably, while chrome gives the wanted results immediately. I even deleted all history and private stuff, and don't use any addons in firefox, as I read at your help pages, but firefox feels far behind in usability compared to chrome.
Best regards,
Heiko

Are these numbers pertaining to the first request only. Actually there has been quite a lot of changes in classloader and jasper compiler etc,. in sp4. Infact sp4 is proved to be much faster than earlier versions (Though I donot have exact figures with me, sp4 is faster than sp1). But some times it also depends on the settings like the debug level, type of session(lite or distributed) etc. At this time, as you are using only the defualt set up, I suggest you to try with other samples and verify is sp4 really 7-10 times slower than sp1. And then come up to a conclusion.
After having tested with multiple samples, with the "same parameters" on both the service packs, Still if you feel sp1 is faster or any further queries please get back to the forum. Please provide information about your settings also, so that I can investigate.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Anyone has any idea why KT400 is slower than KT333?

We have heard and seen reviews that MSI KT4 Ultra is(was) slower than KT3 Ultra(2), so as other manufacturers KT400 boards. All seem to be slower than KT333.
Anybody know why? or have read any studies on this issue?

I have no idea, but Mobo manufacturers are rushing new products to the market to be the first with 333, 400, what's next? My strategy is to read the reviews but wait until the board (or CPU) is sub top and buy it when the bugs have been ironed out (or well documented in fora like this) and the price has come down. Sorry, I am Dutch!

Why is firefox slower than before the reset?

The past 8 weeks Firefox has been extremely slow. I've tried safe mode and all the other web suggestions and finally did the 'Reset'. Now Firefox is slower than it was before the reset. Google, Duck Duck Go and IE. I've also tried Safari, which I didn't like, but all of them were faster than Firefox. Can anybody help me? I'm not that computer savvy to do a clean install and don't the $$ to have it done. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can do a clean install by following these instructions:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Why is firefox slower than explorer on windows 7?

firefox runs slower than explorer in windows 7. New laptop. I notice it when switching pages while on craigslist. Does not happen on other computers running xp or vista.

Some of your extensions might be the cause of the problem. Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode then going to Tools--Addons--Extensions to see if one of your extensions is causing a problem.

Safari significantly slower than Chrome!

Since purchasing my mid 13 macbook air, I've always used firefox and then chrome. Recently, I have really wanted to use Safari as I have seen several posts about the performance and battery life benefits. After using Safari for a few days, I find performance is pitiful compared to Chrome. On average, website will take several seconds longer to load up on Safari. I have tried emptying the cache, deleting all history and also disabling plugins (I used adblock and roboform). None of it has made a difference so far. I really want to like Safari but it's proving to be difficult. Any other recommendations for what I can do to improve performance? Thanks for any help!

HT5785 Why is Safari slow and troublesome?

Safari is either slow or it stops working. This after updating. Why?
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why is Safari slow?

Safari has been terribly slow for the past few days. A window takes awhile to load (e.g., Google) and I'm not sure why. I initially thought it was a virus, but I ran a check and there seems to be no Malware.
Can anyone assist?
Thank you,
Kathy

Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Reset Safari.
Click Safari in the menu bar.
From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
Uncheck the box next to " Remove saved names and passwords".
Click "Reset".
Empty Caches.
Safari > Preference > Advanced

Is Safari Slower than Firefox?

I've just switched from a PC using Firefox browser to a MacBook using the Safari browser. I am noticing that Safari seems to be much slower in moving through websites.
Is that just me or is it a problem with Safari?
Thanks!

Why not get firefox for your mac then? If you're really daring the release candidate of version 3.5 is really fast and supports 3 finger swiping for going forward and back. You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html

Safari slower than Firefox - especially on 2 finger scrolls while loading..

When I surf the web on my air I notice that Safari loads a page and will not let me 2 finger scroll until it has loaded enough or has the flash or java app all the way in... while Firefox will load a page faster and allow me to 2 finger scroll while its loading.... I notice this on pages that have flash banners or stuff on them... at first I thought it was the air being to slow so I tried firefox on the same pages and they load quicker and always allow me to 2 finger scroll..... Anyone else notice this ? I prefer to use Safari but I cant stand the stalling it does while loading certain pages with banner ads or too much flash/java...
Basically until Safari's blue bar is gone you'll get 2 finger scroll stopage while Firefox will scroll... is firefox more optimized or something... ?

Running OS 10.6.7 plus last Firefox before 4.0. Reluctant to move to 4.0 as it is still new.
This is a new problem, beginning in the last month or so for me, I think. While it seems much longer, I believe the delay is about 20 seconds, and it does happen every time Firefox launches.
Further, sometimes (do not yet see a pattern) well after launch, when attempting to navigate on a website...Firefox isn't paying attention. I think the interruption may be 20 seconds here, as well. Then all is well.
No magic living color pinwheel displayed by uncle Mac during either delay.
Did I mention table pounding frustration when on deadline?

Firefox loads pages much slower than Chrome

Recently switched back to using Firefox as I wasn't finding the extensions I like for Chrome only to discover that Firefox is running significantly slower by comparison. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it hasn't helped.

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.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
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
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
