13 Firefox SLOW to load pages

just updated to 13.0 Firefox on my mac last night (without plugins in order to not blame them!) ... the man his SLOW SLOW SLOW. Slow loading pages, slow to load and slow to open java (even more then before!) I have an i5 CPU and 8 GB of ram 1333 Mhz in my macbook pro... What is happening... seems that each new version is slower and slower!

P.S. I switched to chrome because of it... lightning quick in comparison, it works!

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • 12 Firefox is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are open, it lag.

    12 Firefox is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are open, it lag. I've tried everything (e.g. virus, Defrag, I created a new profile in "run", etc.). I had my router/line checked everything etc and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help because it's driving crazy me.

  • Firefox does not load pages and said "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

    Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron processor, 1 GB of RAM. FF will work for awhile then it will stop loading pages and say 'Stop' in the lower left corner of the screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page loads, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "stopped". Alternatively, the page will be partially load and then quit and say 'stop. ' I disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and he always does. IE does the same. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I've finally upgraded to a newer version and it was fine for a few months, but began to do the same thing recently. Arghhh... Thank you!

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is with my last computer a few months ago

    You, me and many others (from discussions throughout the net) have this same problem. I had a few glances at Mozilla, take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.

    Here's what I found works - the problem arises on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. 3.63 FF of uninstall and install 3.59. You can always download until the end of June or July I think.

    My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect users of Windows as Mac Firefox 3.63 works very well.

    Found a few discussions pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall time-out managers and some download tools. I have ZoneAlarm, so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.

    I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, repackage as 3.64 3.59 and go back to the drawing board until they find out what is wrong.

  • Since March 5, Firefox will not load pages except the home page.

    Firefox just says 'connection' tab and after thirty minutes the page does not load. I have tried rebooting my computer several times and have uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox. It is not a problem with the connection, and does not seem to be a problem with my safety. I use Firefox for more than a year on this computer, then suddenly that. What should I do?

    Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.

    Under Advanced, select network.
    Search for configure how Firefox connects and then press the settings button.
    Check the settings.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
    trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
    update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

  • Firefox does not load pages unless moves the mouse or keyboard is pressed

    Hello

    I saw this problem listed several times before this post, but none of the solutions have helped me.

    I am using Firefox for ages and the latest 3 updates or so were expose this problem. When I try to load a website, Firefox will start to takes me to the page and then hang. The circle in the tab will stop moving and it will stay there until I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. As long as the mouse moves permanently or the keyboard keys are pressed, the page will load very well. The same thing happens with YouTube. The video starts and then freeze unless the keyboard/mouse is moved. Firefox also has this problem when I try to download a file from a Web site. The download starts and then hang on until I move the mouse or press a button, then it will continue for a few seconds and hang on again until I repeat the movement of the mouse or press the keyboard button.

    So far, I tried to update Firefox, Java and Flash; Starting Firefox in Safe Mode; uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox: do a complete uninstall and reinstall of Firefox with removing profile and creation. I ran ad next and malware detection with no infection found tools: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SuperAntispyware, and AdwCleaner scan Microsoft security, Windows Defender, Spybot Search & Destroy, utility Kasperky free Security Scan and Anti-rootkit TDSSKiller.

    The only thing I tried that 'seemed' to work was from Windows Mode safe mode with networking and run Firefox there. I was able to watch YouTube videos without freezing and websites seem to load properly. Of course, I can't run in Mode safe all the time.

    I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like when Firefox crashes on Google News. Note that the images in part loading, but a good number of them is waiting or not loaded.

    I hope someone can help me, because I like Firefox and I wouldn't switch to Chrome or (shudder) IE.

    Thank you in advance for your help!


  • Internet connection works, but Firefox doesn't load pages

    Internet connection works on Win7 Office (updates Windows, Google Earth works etc.) but Firefox & IE does not load web pages.
    Computer laptop (Vista) that uses the same router works Firefox fine.

    Performed various AV like Malwarebytes etc. software with no problems found.
    Re-install win 7
    Tried these solutions

    and other similar.
    Send from your cell phone like PC WIn7 does not allow me to connect and use the troubleshooting software

    Thanks for the reply, but I found the solution.
    Many answers forum suggest to change the network settings, but that does not work either.
    The combination which solves the problem was to run "SuperAntiSpyware" who found a virus that Norton has not blocked. AND to uninstall and reinstall my copy of Norton 360.

  • Firefox does not load pages; GUI is messed up.

    Since this morning, Firefox is really messed up. There seems to be some general interface problem. My toolbars have been rearranged and change for them, I can't open the pages when a dialog box opens the text is missing from the computer, etc..

    I've just updated the BIOS of my computer last night, so that could be a factor. I have also two add-here-above update last time I ran Firefox. I want to disable them to see if they have the problem, but I can't really do anything in Firefox, so I can't disable anything. Is there a way to disable add-ins manually from outside the program? If I reinstall, is there a way to protect my favorites? My story seems to have disappeared already ("but I don't know if it's actually GONE or just don't show up").

  • get rid of "Firefox prevented this loading page."

    I'm going to a URL and until I see what I see, I have to click "allow".

    Hi davidaparker, the bar that appears between the regular toolbar area and the top of the page can refer to several different amenities, including plugins, redirections and pop up windows.

    The most common problem seems to be that an accessibility function got accidentally switched on. To disable the block of redirection, you can use the Panel Advanced Options page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    Under the mini general tab in the accessibility section, uncheck the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page.

    What is fix?

    If not, could you check the wording of the message the next time and see what they are applying for?

  • Firefox blocks the loading of pages

    Hello

    I spent 3 days in case of problems this and can not solve it. Firefox does not load pages, just get a gray circle spinning forever. No other message. I close firefox and restart it, it does not start because she is still ongoing in the background. The Task Manager will not close it. I have to restart the PC. I tried to remove the profiles of school boards, contributing for a few minutes, and then it crashes again. I tried to reinstall firefox and once again it works for a few minutes then nothing. I removed completely all the "appdata" and still no luck. New profile does not help.
    I checked all the settings of firewall security, etc., and nothing helps. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. I have used firefox for years and now may be to walk away. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  • 30.0 Firefox is so slow since updated. IE &amp; Chrome not having problems loading pages, showing the blank pages, need two or more tests to open Web pages.

    30.0 Firefox is so slow since updated. IE & Chrome not having problems loading pages, showing the blank pages, need two or more tests to open Web pages. It seems to have something to do with the Visual data on the pages. My MSN homepage gets old and dies every time I open the page after the re-opening and closing of firefox. It takes forever! What is a memory drain? Each open page in a new session of firefox suffer the same fate.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Press < Alt > or < F10 > to display the toolbar.
    Followed;

    Windows; Tools > Options
    Linux; Edit > Preferences
    Mac; name of the application > Preferences

    Then Advanced > General.
    Find and stop using hardware acceleration.

    Dig safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

  • Very slow Firefox loading pages

    So many pages are really slow loading as minute, as Courier hot.EE youtube and many more. It started to happen when I updated to 20.0. Looked up a few suggestions and found that everything: config network.http.keep - alive using fake. And so I did and it worked, but the next time I opened firefox again, that it was slow to load again, but persistent is always false, all non disabled necessary plugins and extensions and I don't seem to find a solution. Been a user of firefox for a long time and do not want to change my browser.

    The new profile seems to work very well - don't know for how long, but we'll see how that goes.
