12 Firefox became the slowest browser for the loading of web pages. Is there a solution?
I've been using Firefox as my default browser for years. However, beginning with FF11 and continues with FF12, it became so slow to load web pages that it has become practically unusable. IE, Opera, and Chrome are all must faster. If someone knows a solution, I'd love to hear about it.
I live in rural Texas and it is true that my ISP is not the fastest 'high speed' in the world - 1, 5 - 2.0mbps, but other browsers can handle this OK. No Firefox.
I tried to disable ALL add and extensions. I got FF up to bare bones - without tab, no whistles or bells - and yet it's very slow. I've already replaced my router - no help. I tried to empty the memory cache, settings, same run the «Speed Up My Firefox» software Nothing seems to help.
It is clearly a problem of Firefox. I'd like to go back to Firefox, but I don't have the patience to wait while he takes his own load time of web pages.
Any ideas?

I edited this post to remove some questionable information and keep only what I know works for me.
The setting network.http.keep - alive false seems to provide the greatest improvement, but I think that setting network.http... Max-connections to 64 maybe helped a little in my case, since I have a slow connection 'broadband '.
I also reinstalled FF12 with these changes, and the problem seems to be resolved.
For now, this seems to have solved my problems. If things start going downhill, I will return.
Thank you all for all the help and suggestions.

Since the upgrade to free 29 arrows of browsing some sites do not work. Is there a solution by chance?
I think this story says it all. The most problematic sites are mainly news sites
http://Compaq-desktop.AOL.com/#
It has 1-40 or 45 new photos which can be browsed through by clicking on the arrows. Before the update without problem.Problem solved, if only temporarily.
It's as simple as switching to the ad-blocker for the site only. -
I do not see the menu f or at the bottom of web pages unless I have 'restore down' for a smaller size of the window.
The problem is when you maximize the window - it is even bigger than the available surface? Or the problem is that normal windows are always too big and have to manually resize?

How do I customize and fix permanently the size of web pages (zoom %) in Firefox than Internet Explorer is:
View - Zoom - Custom (percentage).Thank you

Firefox suddenly do not load multiple web pages correctly
I got 4 of Firefox since the release date, but today it acting up - is not loading some Web pages correctly, removing all of the formatting and just put all the text/links/etc in a list along the left side of the window. It is also not displayed pictures of all not more, even if they are all hosted on Photobucket. It's literally ther first time there was a problem with it since the update, and I did not change settings on it at all, so I have no idea why he broke up suddenly. Anyone else get this?
I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem; uninstalled ff.; reinstalled FF; Restore my computer; etc, etc, and nothing worked until I found this! Thank you very much!

If you use modern IE, the shortcut must be identical to it in most web browsers:
CTRL + FSo, open IE, select a text field that opens the keyboard on the screen, then tap on and hold down the Ctrl key and press F release both. You should see a little extra box we pop that is your field of research to this page.Gives you what you're looking for? -
I started having this problem around mid-2016. In short, if I use Safari to surf the internet, after about 5-10 minutes, Safari would not completely load the page not load completely. If I turn off my wifi then return (on the macbook), the page will load temporarily. On the other hand, Firefox does not have this problem and loads web pages normally. Possible reasons or solutions?
I do not think that the problem comes from my internet connection or your router because my iPhone Safari normally connects under the same network.
I use a Macbook Air, OSX V. 10.11.3 (El Capitan)
