Yoga 13 Firefox slow as hell.

Is it just me or is Firefox slow as hell on this thing? I'm talking about page rendering and scrolling speed. Heck, even as I'm typing this, I'm experiencing lag with the characters appearing on the screen. Chrome behaves better but still lags behind much older and slower machines I use on a daily basis. IE Metro seems to be perfectly fine, but I rarely use it. Even Safari in a OSX Mavericks VM running on this same system even seems to be faster.

My desktop firefox seems responsive the rare times I use it. I mostly use desktop IE, and have to say there are new bouts of occasional freezes... I can't even change tabs for about a minute. There seems some responsiveness lag, so when I scroll with a finger swipe, it gets treated sometimes as a double tap magnify as if it is doing slow sampling.
Maybe firefox would do the same if I used it as much. I checked my lenovo pointer driver for a newer version, but the old one is called current. I wonder if some windows update caused this delay mode. I wish I knew how to turn off the double tap magnify gesture anyway...

  • Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

    After updating to FF4, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has multiple animated gifs on it, firefox slows down tremendously. CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.
    It's not only large animated gifs, but it also occurs on forums that have animated smilies. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 nor any other browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without any add-ons or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a fresh install. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite sites now with FF, without my pc slowing everything down.

    Disabling the hardware acceleration worked for me!

  • In the last week, Firefox slows down until it's unusable after about 30 mins

    As per the title. Firefox slows down until it is almost completely unresponsive the longer it is left open. When it is restarted, it works fine for a while but soon slows down a lot.
    I have about 50 tabs open and have never experienced this issue at all. I still have plenty of RAM free. When it's slow, even tasks such as opening menus or using the awesome bar slow down massively.
    I suspect a tab is at fault but can't think of an easy way to determine which one.

    I'm using the same antivirus for the last year and never had this issue before. Disabling antivirus doesn't help either.

  • WRT54G V8 Slow as hell wireless connection

    Im about to go on a killing spree because I cannot figure this out. I have a desktop connected to the router. The router to the modem. I can get on the internet fine with nice speeds on the desktop. When I connect wirelessly with my laptop it is slow as hell. Wont load anything than after 2 minutes it will load it all at once. I have no idea what the heck is going on. I've changed settings and changed them back in the router config. What could possible be causing this??????

    I have exactly the same problem with my WRT54g V8 router. My Dell laptop takes forever to load web pages. My desktop "flies" when connected via ethernet but slows like the laptop when I connect wirelessly using a USB wireless adapter WUSB54G.
    When I connect to my neighbors Netgear wireless, everything is very fast. When I use my old Microsoft wireless router, things are very fast. When I go back to the Linksys, SLOW SLOW SLOW!!!!!!!
    I have updated the firmware to no avail. Changed channels and turned off all wireless security.....no change!!!
    I am running Windows XP SP2 and using Comcast cable broadband.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Firefox slower due to add-ons.

    This is not a specific question, as it is more of a general frustration with Firefox. I notice Firefox is much faster if I disable many add-ons I have installed over the years. It seems like Firefox gets a bad wrap because some add-ons slow down Firefox. Aren't there benchmarking tools available to show before and after results of using an add-on? I am using 5 out 19 add-ons at the moment and performance is a lot faster. All this time though, I just thought Firefox sucked when disabling add-ons leads me to believe that the culprit for the slow performance is due to an add-on.
    Anyway, I think if Mozilla wants to protect their reputation more, the benchmarking tools should be a tool a browser user can interact with.

    Chrome has built-in a "Task Manager" It allows users to see all their extensions in use, their CPU, Memory, etc ...
    It would be nice if firefox had something like this. Would make narrowing down which addon is becoming a resource hog.
    I got over a dozen addons and I know at least one of them is making firefox slower the longer I keep it open. Eventually, it would eat up 50% my CPU when clicking on links. I have a dual core leading me to believe the addon is not multithreaded? Can't pin point which addon it is yet.

  • Firefox Slow On HTML5 Site

    I don't understand why when I try and look at an HTML5 site in Firefox, Firefox slows down to a crawl.
    I have tried all the latest versions including the beta version.

  • Bookmarks added twice and makes firefox slow

    Im a web designer and a firefox lover :) my issue is bookmarks are added twice, while exporting and importing to the organize bookmark. for eg: exported the bookmarks of 50 sites and given to my friend and he already has 50 website in his list and imported my list and exported 100 websites and given to me, now importing the bookmarks the website list is doubling of 150 websites and makes the firefox slow. so can the team make the code as delete the bookmark list if the title name and website name is same. By Sowdesh

    You can remove duplicate bookmarks with this extension.

  • Yoga 13 Slow Wireless

    I have a Yoga 13 running Windows 8.1.  When it's connected to my wired network via the ThinkPad USB dock I get 65Mbps Internet access.  When it's connected to my wireless network I only get 25Mbps Internet access.  I have all of the latest Windows updates installed and the latest network drivers for my Realtek RTL8723AU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter, but the slowness continues and is consistent.  Wired always equals 65Mbps and wireless always equals 25Mbps.  In contrast I also have a Dell laptop that consistently gets 65Mbps Internet access wired or wireless, so I know the issue isn't with my router, but instead has to be with my Yoga 13.
    How do I resolve this and get my full 65Mbps Internet access when wireless?

    Just got this machine (Yoga 13 i5) 3 days ago, and while I'm satisfied for the most part I noticed that scrolling in web pages using either Firefox or IE is pretty slow. Actually it seems like webpage rendering overall is a little weak. I'm coming from a Acer Timeline X 3830T which has pretty much the same specs as the Yoga 13 and there's no comparison. The acer always rendered instantly and never felt slow loading.
    The odd thing is that if I use my fingers in IE the scrolling is just as smooth as on my iPhone. In Firefox it's the same laggyness. It doesn't feel like a problem with the trackpad itself, rather It feels as if the GPU simply can't keep up, which I'd have trouble believeing. Am I the only one noticing this?
    Also what's with the CPU overhead? In task manager I'm seeing 15-20% cpu utilization at idle with a good chunk of it being taken up by WMI Provider Host.
    Interesting. How much total RAM do you have? What is your current total RAM utilization %?
    I notice that I currently have 10 tabs open in Firefox and on its own, Firefox v20.0.1 is utilizing ~600MB of RAM. The scrolling on web pages is very smooth and comparable to using IE. However, in some websites, the scroll action ends up selecting the text instead of scrolling - which is very annoying. This happens on both the trackpad as well as the touch screen. I am using the desktop version of the Firefox. (i7, 8GB of RAM)

  • Firefox slow to start and websites won't load?

    Setup: Windows Vista. Firefox 4.0.1. McAfee Total Protection 2011. Wireless home network.
    As of yesterday everything worked well. Tonight I am having problems 1) connecting to the internet - I have to reconnect to my router before it accesses the internet 2) Firefox either doesn't start or is very slow 3) when it does finally slow, all the websites eventually time out and won't load.
    Last night I extended my McAfee - didn't have to d/l or install anything and earlier today my computer did some kind of update. The only way I can get any websites to open is to shut off the firewall in McAfee, then things seem to work fine but I don't want to leave it off for obvious reasons. Oh and I did set up a new Windows user profile for my kids but I don't see how that would really affect anything.
    Is there some kind of setting I need to change? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Firefox slow, laggy, choppy performance on powerful PC. Other browsers working fine. Help?

    i7 930 @ 3.8GHz, 6GB RAM@1600MHz, Intel SSD and Nvidia 660 Ti 2GB.
    That's my PC. It starts up in seconds, it's 100% stable, can run any video/audio production software with ease, and play any game at high/max settings.
    But somehow, Firefox doesn't seem to care.
    It keeps freezing up, lagging, and driving me crazy in the process. I've tried everything: reinstalling, resetting FF, removing addons, reinstalling addons, doing clean installs.... nothing. I've tried chrome. Works fine. IE even works better than FF.
    All this started in the last year or two. Slowly. I've felt each version getting slower and slower, and now it's just ridiculous. I open like 10 tabs and FF grinds to a halt, it takes 5-10 seconds for it to un-freeze sometimes. And facebook timeline scrolling?! forget about it. the more you scroll, the worse the freezing gets, to the point where I'm forced to restart FF and start all over again!
    I've been with FF since v1, I've watched it grow into the best browser of all, but I've also watched chrome rightfully take that title away in the last few years, because of what FF has turned into.
    I'd much rather stick with FF, but the frustration is getting out of hand. I can't take the slow and buggy performance, and I can't seem to find a solution.
    So is there a way to make firefox work as it should on a fast PC, or do I have to switch to chrome to get the performance back?

    As I have seen That you have installed so much extension which is the main reason behind the slowness. Since they need some memory each time you start working with firefox.
    However do try to disable those extensions which are not used regularly ,when you need to used them just enable from addons section.
    Also try with [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] and check whether the problem still persist or not.
    Read This Thread : [http://mzl.la/1BAQIeY Many CPU Processes]
    These are some steps will help you to fix issues like slowness:
    If monitoring tools shows High ram used by firefox then it might be due to Hardware acceleration enabled . Uncheck them from '''Options'''>'''Advance''' >under '''General''' tab.
    Sometimes plugins becomes the cause,so Check whether all plugins are up to dated or not from '''Addons''' >'''Plugins''' tab.
    See this thread for other reasons : http://mzl.la/14CBA3o

  • Firefox slowness issues have been getting worse, when is it going to be re-coded? none of the "FIXES" ever work and my other browsers work just fine.

    My frustrations with firefox continue to mount. All the supposed fixes are a waste of time. There is obviously a major code problem that needs to be addressed. Your solutions that you post just seem to be the same and never work. Users are not programmers and should not be expected to do your troubleshooting. I have been running a comparison lately using four different browsers to play a popular facebook game (Trainstation). (All browsers at the latest version)
    1. Firefox
    2. Internet Explorer
    3. Google Chrome
    4. Opera
    to do the exact same thing in the game firefox was taking 20 to 30 seconds to complete (about half of the time completely freezing for several minutes.) where the next slowest browser (I.E.) was taking 2-3 seconds whilst opera was the fastest at almost instant, chrome almost as fast.
    Firefox is also slow to load any page in general regardless of flash content.
    Frequently I get "not responding" at the top of the window.
    My system is a new Dell Inspiron with Intel Core I5 processor @ 2ghz and 6GB Ram, about 300GB free hard disk space. Windows 8.1
    The game played requires the latest flash version which does not work on LINUX. However the linux firefox version is much faster. Perhaps there is a direct link for conflict with windows 8.1
    Firefox also seems to have a memory leak, resources get dramatically worse if the browser is open for many hours. (this is not a problem with other browsers in general, except I.E. which exhibits this problem as well to a lesser degree. The freezing issue has also been a problem with Thunderbird lately as well, I do not have another e-mail client installed to compare to.

    I have tried that already, I have seen that response in more than one forum in the past and it does not do anything. I also for the test of it, upgraded to the v29 beta version. Still is slow (not just the game i was playing which is on face book but also on the game developers site directly as well (http://portal.pixelfederation.com/trainstation/), using either does not matter as far as performance of the game. All sites and browsing is slower, as is startup loading my home page which is just google.com. I remember when firefox used to be blazing fast compared to others. I have also tried recreating a new profile, didn't help. tried a complete removal (including registry entries and all files, then a new fresh install, didn't help. someone on another forum suggested several tweaks in the about:config area, didn't help. something has changed dramatically in the last four or five versions.

  • Firefox slow and unresponsive with facebook and zynga and then locks up for all other tabs open

    I finally had to uninstall the beta 4 version as I couldn't take the issues any longer. The browser would become slow and then totally unresponsive mostly when using facebook and zynga. however, all tabs would become slow and unresponsive and would have to be rebooted. It wouldn't be 5 minutes and it would have to be done again. Even without facebook/zynga loaded in a tab, the entire browser is unbelievably slow. I am running mac os x 10.5.8.
    I went back to the old version until I hear back as I just don't have time to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have to reboot the program constantly.

    I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
    Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
    I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
    I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do.

  • Why is my firefox slow to respond to every single mouse click and every typed word, slow to load web pages, and sometimes crashes?

    When I click on things, it takes forever before firefox responds. When I'm typing emails or what not, I will type and the word will show up a few seconds later. Nothing is immediate anymore. Even when I try to use the scroll bar, it is slow to respond. Sometimes firefox clashes and it tells me that the plug-in container has stopped working.

    I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off  documents and data, and now it is back to normal.  Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

  • With major resouces Firefox slows over a period of time rending web usage to a crawl.

    Running Debian Jessie (using lxde) on a system with major resources (well over 20 GB of RAM using 14 desktops).
    I tend to have lots of windows and tabs open.
    Use different windows for different lines of inquiry and tabs are things that I found interesting.
    This means that I can have 10+ windows open and some windows might have 25+ tabs.
    I try (not terribly successfully) to prune tabs I'm not using but I definitely get tab (and less so but also window) accumulation.
    Somehow Firefox gets to where my web access is conpromised where I'm getting access at a glacial pace, and as I'm on wireless its already more than somewhat slow(!!). So if I close all the open pdfs and reboot the system I will get much snappier web access but the closing of all the pdfs and then setting up the windows on the different desktops is a pain.
    Are there settings besides the Preferences: Advanced: Network: Cached Web Content (which I increased to 'Limit cache to 1024 MB of space' which is as high as I can get it to go) that could be used to get the annoying problem to disappear? Perhaps Firefox is designed not to be used with larger numbers of windows with lots of tabs per window (If so let me know)? Just want this to work!
    I stopped using Chrome because when my system went down there wasn't an easy way of finding all the tabs again, at the time, so when I found that Firefox was better at this I have moved the bulk of my browsing to Firefox.
    I have checked with my ISP and it seems that the bulk of my issues are my browser. As Firefox is doing most everything else quite well it would be very good to get rid of this pesky problem (without the reboot cycle being needed). Just in case it makes a difference I was running Firefox 24. something up until today when I got totally frustrated and did a reboot cycle (and now have decent internet access).
    TIA

    I have spent a number of hours poking at the web using my friend mr duckduck and looking into various suggested corners on my system to try and narrow the area of difficulty that is causing my occasional (yet all too regular to date) web slowdown issue.
    There is a lot of clarity that is injected into this discussion by reviewing my system's ram usage.
    (For those coming late to the conversation I have what most would refer to as huge amounts of ram (north of 20 GiB). My work style is also such that I have a lot of windows (22 at present) open and tabs on each window ranging from a few to 20+.)
    My system information tells me that at present 84% of my memory is cached. (I'm not sure how that compares to others but I would think that that is quite high.) A further breakdown in the numbers tells me that 54.8% is in what is termed 'Active (file)' and where I think the issue is 39.1% is in what is termed 'Inactive (file)'.
    Somewhere between FF and the various subsidiary programs there is a tremendous wastage of ram cleanup scavenging and/or reliquishment (take your pick or any combination you wish).
    What is being done by FF developers to reduce this inactive cached ram?

  • Firefox Slow Even When Offline on Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145

    I have a 2gb RAM, 1.33 Ghz Intel Atom CPU Z520, and a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145. I have no viruses and no programs running in the background. I've installed and uninstalled various versions of Firefox (4, 11, 12) and even upon a fresh install before I edit preferences, bookmarks, or add-ons, the PROGRAM ITSELF is super slow. It isn't using any more RAM or processer speed that it should, however. What it does: Menus are slow to open, scrolling is jumpy, and switching from tab to tab takes like 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 8 works just fine, as do all other programs on the computer. Also, it works fine in Safe Mode. I can't find anything regarding this issue online. Help!

    Thanks for reply. But, drivers are up to date. However, I found on this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers) that I might want to disable hardware acceleration. I did that through the options menu and Firefox is "usable," but still not what I'm used to on other computers and still not as fast as IE on the same computer. Since turning of the hardware acceleration helped, what else can I do along the same lines to speed it up more? I know a 1.33GHz processor is plenty fast enough to run only firefox by itself. The computer I'm on now (my non-netbook) runs at 700MHz when on batteries and has no performance issues. I hope I can get it because I don't want to use another browser! :(
