Now, my slow Firefox is fast

Symptom: Firefox takes a while to come in Windows XP. Further, it takes awhile to load my start page.

Symptom: Open a Google search results page, click on my first choice, it takes too much time; I close this page and select a second choice and it loads immediately. It's not serious if I chose the first choice, second or third first choice and an alternative higher or lower in the list as the second choice.

I have been running Spybot Search and Destroy, Ccleaner and have the Essentials Microsoft anti-virus.

I used the Auslogics DiskDefrag to optimize and defrrag.

SOLUTION:
I have downloaded and run the scan of full file from Malwarebytes (Trial), which required a restart of the computer when it was over, having found four Trojan horses, as well as all the files quarantined, set aside by CCleaner. I deleted everything in the list and restarted Windows (first time).

I ran another file full scan with Malwarebytes and found four files. Nothing in memory, nothing in the registry. I deleted these and restart Windows for the second time.

Now Firefox comes right to the top, Google opens in the first tab immediately, I open the new tab and select Gmail and it comes right to the top without delay.

My problem with slow response time Firefox was malware. One of the malware is a configuration of player I recently downloaded... can not disabled albums say which player was. He may have been infected to its source, or it may have been infected on my computer when I got here.

I post this 'question' as a report on the solution I've found for a slow running Firefox.

My first question with a slow Firefox came after a series of events, I'll try to recall here:

I had a decent response from Firefox.

I downloaded and ran Auslogics DiskDefrag, after defragmentation and optimization, I've always had good response from Firefox.

I downloaded a dirty file, I can not say where.

I downloaded Auslogics BoostSpeed, that scans something like five categories and allows the free cleaning of a category. Without purchasing a license, this product is limited to cleaning the first category selected from this moment for free. I chose clean wasted space.from first time several options available.

Now, I had a slow Firefox.

I got rid of BoostSpeed. I'm not accusing anything here, but I was looking for a cause.

I had lance CCleaner, Spybot S & D, AdwCleaner and used the Microsoft Essentials. for the AV.

Even a slow Firefox. I ran the two scans of complete file more restart using Maywarebytes (Trial) and Firefox is quick to come, Google loading and meet my selection in the new tab.

A lot of people complain about Firefox is slow. I discovered the reason in my case, why it was.

Edited to remove some typographical errors and to change the choice of wording. And thank you, SuperSluether.

Oh. -Add-ons that I used:
Memory Fox 7, 4 - in Options set to minimum nothing selected with a check mark and wait times

RAMBack 1.0 (there are no options)

1.16 - this add-on memory restart minimize Firefox memory usage when it hits a threshold of 229 MB, shows a red button if I'm on, green if I'm under.

Original value of the threshold was 500 MB, that was too high for me.

These three modules are really a lifesaver and prevent Firefox from locking system memory and put the computer to a crawl. With the good memory management, I'm also less problem with scripts not responding do not. In fact, I can listen to a playlist of YouTube.

I highly recommend these three.
.

Glad you figured it out! I hope this will help other users I know I did!

  • I just installed AVG Security, FireFox is now really slow, what to do?

    I don't know if it's problems with Internet or a coincidence that I just installed AVG. But now my FireFox & general link is so slow - FireFox wouldn't start even in a first time.

    First of all, please update to 25 of Firefox, Firefox update to the latest version, then my suggestion is to uninstall AVG and use your Microsoft security Essentials anti-virus.

  • while trying to reset to fix the slowness, firefox never finished, so I closed it, now it says my profile is not valid, and nothing will load.

    while trying to reset to fix the slowness, firefox never finished, so I closed it, now it says my profile is not valid, and nothing will load. So I have no possibility to repair. I tried to anUpgrade, but which resulted in the same situation.

    Sorry, when an update is interrupted, it can happen. Please start by creating a new profile. There is no data in it, but it will get us started.

    You will start the Firefox profile manager using the Windows Run dialog box (hold down the Windows key and tap R) or the system Windows 10 search box. Paste the following and press ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P

    This should start a small window.

    Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like OldSettings and ignore the ability to move the profile folder. After you create the profile, select it and start Firefox in this profile.

  • Why is it so slow Firefox! It takes 10 minutes to load, then 5 minutes to change between different pages. I have version 22, it is getting worse.

    It seems the newer version of Firefox, it gets the slower. What is the BEST version to download to use? This used to be a fast browser, now it takes 10 minutes to load. I did all this mentioned on the historic authorized help page, hides, scanned the computer, deleted Firefox and reinstalled, but it does not work.

    Chrome runs circles around Firefox, it will load in 10 seconds approximately and will work in MANY games better Firefox - using games is totally impossible with Firefox. I need to know which version is the fastest and has the best notes. It looks newer, it gets, the worse it works.

    Help!

    I have the same problem with Firefox 25.0.1. It happened months and I'm tired of it. I can't even watch a video in Firefox - YouTube or something - because it is always too rough. I don't have this problem with Chrome or Opera. And Chrome is lightning fast.

    I won't try Firefox in Mode without failure. Why should I? I will not uninstall other browsers, remove plugins (I don't really have a lot and they work very well in Chrome and Opera), or remove a file called User.js, if I have it. It is a bunch of nonsense. Firefox 25.0.1 works, or is not, without having to do all these things. So, I do not use Firefox any longer.

  • typing slow firefox 12 support forum

    My web pages updated very well and my scroll bars go up and down fast enough. But typing in multiple text boxes is far too slow. This text box as I type right now is an example. I'm often typing 10 and 20 characters long to come on the display text and I don't type particularly quickly. It takes a long time to step the cursor in the text to correct errors, even if mouse clicks do not change the position of the cursor quickly. I also have this problem with several other text boxes.

    I looked in the notes of support for help and found a recommendation to restore the Firefox default state. However, when I got to the top of the troubleshooting information page, there is no "reset" button This problem occurred when I updated to 3.6 12.0. I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. I think I'm on a 32-bit processor. '86' stuff I run the update of Java 6 32.

  • Very slow Firefox.

    I do a lot of cut and paste for the recipes on all recipes.com. When I cut and paste in MS Word and then return to the Web site, Firefox seems to go in the "snail" mode. If I close Firefox and come back again I can cut and paste into MS Word but then Firefox slows down just once again. Tried to make a few changes as suggested on the site of Firefox to not available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello bhlottawa, try Disabling graphics hardware acceleration.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Open the Firefox Options window as follows, click on the menu button

      then select Options.

    2. In the Options of Firefox window, click the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Adobe built Muse Web sites is now very slow loading. Everyone knows this problem recently... especially with GoDaddy?

    Community of Muse,

    I've been using Muse for about 3 years now and I never had a load of site Web of Adobe Muse built slower than 3 seconds. Exactly these past two weeks, some of these sites have begun to load into the second beach of 8,9 and 10. Nothing has changed. The coding changed significantly with the last update of Muse? I did some research, talked to technical support and have concluded that there are things that can make the hosting service, and there are things that designers can do to help the pages load faster. A lot of what we do Treaty the htaccess file. Someone there - recent experience - experience with this same problem loading websites much slower than before?

    I use GTMetrix go through these sites and I find a lot of questions that weren't always a problem in previous versions of Muse, at least, they did not affect the loading time.

    All tips, reviews, help and help advice!

    I have a site with over 300 pages and another with over 200 +, the majority is 20 to 30 pages, so I think I'll spend a lot of time in the htaccess files.

    Thank you

    You are a reseller from GoDaddy? You better get a hosting server, and it's pretty cheap too.

    In any case, yes they sometimes have problems, but they get it corrected quickly. Is this an ongoing problem?

    I use Muse with GoDaddy since the beginning of the Muse too.

    I can't speak for the specific problem you have with them.

    I hope that helps a little...

    Hello!

    To protect against potential vulnerabilities in Java, Firefox ask you to activate Java for every site you visit that uses Java. If you trust the Web site, you can allow Java run by clicking on the message "enable Java". There are no visible area to activate Java content on the page, look for the plugin icon in the address bar, then click on it, and in the message panel that opens, choose "allow now." For more information, see the article How to enable Java on trusted sites .
