Slow download of some Web sites

I bought a new computer with Vista Acer desktop in March.  After working perfectly for about a month, he suddenly become very slow opening of websites of newspapers or sites like Fox sports.  Sometimes take up to 2 minutes to open.  I have high-speed internet cable and they initially opened immediately.  Other types of Web sites open ok.  What can be the problem?

Hi trojans4,

Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

It sounds as if an add-on for Internet Explorer can be the cause of the delay.

Here is a test run to check if this is the case.

Follow these steps to disable the Add-ons;

1 (note: you must close IE before you follow these steps.)  ) Click Start ORB / select all programs / Accessories / System Tools / Internet Explorer - no addons.
2. then open Internet Explorer and try to browse to the sites you mentioned.  If you did it, you can add that the modules of back one at a time to determine which is the origin of the problem.

Here are the steps to add them back at a time:

1. in Internet Explorer click Tools - Manage Add-ons - enable or disable addons
2. starting at the categories he lists the categories on the left side of the window to the top and you'll see Add-ons for each category.  Right-click on the status of one of the Add-ons field, and then select Enable.
3. after activation of some add-ons check if he's going to browse the sites once again.  If Yes, continue this process until you find the add-on that is causing the problem.

Once you identify what is the cause or if it did not resolve at all, please update us in the forum so that our community can help you.

Kind regards

  • Can't access some Web sites. Internet is to slow down, it won't work

    Original title: can't access some Web sites.

    I have a problem with one of the computers on my network.

    Some Web sites will not load on one of the computers (although on all others).  The behavior is either it load so slow that it does not (speedtest.net) or it expires entirely (skype.com). This problem persisted for several months (it is one of the computers of my colleague and I administer the network and machines in our office).

    I checked things:

    1. this problem occurs in IE, Chrome and FireFox

    2. it does not occur if I use a web proxy such as hide.me

    3. it is persistent even in SafeMode with network.

    4. ipconfig/all parameters are the same between this machine and the other without a problem.

    5. the problem with Windows Firewall disabled.

    6 ipconfig/flushdns does not solve the problem.

    7. no viruses or malware were found.

    8. on those ping timeout works very well (skype.com with ~ 140ms)

    I'm really running out of things I can think beyond trying to reinstall Windows, but I prefer not to do so.  Are there possible ideas?

    Hi Nerratt,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft community.

    This problem can occur because of corrupted system files or settings or due to conflicts between the third-party applications.

    1. What version of internet explore do you use?
    2. The computer is connected to a domain?

    I suggest you run Internet Explorer in no Add-ons mode and check if it helps, here are the steps:

    1. click Start, and then type Internet Explorer in the box to start the search.

    2 click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). Internet Explorer opens without Add-ons, toolbars, or plug-ins.

    3 test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

  • Some Web sites do not display the fonts in firefox.

    For a while through a number of updates, I see that on some Web sites, rolling stone and cnbc are two example. If I go to the fonts in my computer and click on restore default settings for fonts, it solved that temporarily the problem. If I go to the settings and disable Web sites use their own fonts, it solves but fonts do not appear as sites intend to make them appear. This does not happen in other browsers, firefox only. I reinstalled windows fonts 7. I tried to disable hardware acceleration... Still has not solved the problem. How can I solve this problem in firefox?

    Do you know if there is a model of policing does not work? If you right click on the text of the problem and choose inspect element (Q), Firefox should open the Inspector tool in the lower part of the tab. On the right side in front of the HTML source code is a box that can usually shows the style rules. Click small heading fonts to show the font used for the text of the problem.

    When I visit the site, the text of the problem is in "Close Gotham" (with more than words displayed in the attached screenshots). These are downloadable fonts.

  • After the update to Firefox 6 (and 7 now), I find that some Web sites take ages to load. This problem does not occur with IE. Any suggestions?

    Since the update to Firefox 6 I found that some Web sites a change upward to 5 minutes to load. The same websites load quickly on IE. I had hoped that Firefox 7 should solve this problem, but it happened. If there is no solution, I'll probably have to stop using Firefox.

    Why this link does not go to the IANA, rather than this site?

    Many people have found that setting the maximum number of connections to: config for a lower number has solved the problem of slow Firefox.

    Network.http.Max - connections - default value is now trying to 256 - 48

  • Some Web sites are displayed in Japanese.

    I messed with my computer settings for a long time and since then, some sites Web will appear in Japanese. Currently, I'm trying to access https://squareup.com/

    The Web site loads in English, but once I log in, it passed to Japanese. In my account settings, only two language options are English and Spanish, so it isn't that. I changed my language preference on Firefox to be English and cleared my cache and cookies from this site in particular, but not luck. I also checked the default location of my computer option in the region and language of my control panel. It had been set at the Japan, but I changed to the United States and restarted my computer. This has no effect on the site.

    What other options do you think this could come from? I'm running out of things to tinker with.

    Well, a solution has been found.

    In the menu Options in Firefox, you can go to the content and choose your preferred language, right? I had mine set to English, but the Japanese was also in the list. Although being not marked as favorite, she apparently became favorite on some Web sites, maybe bad encoding, maybe lucky, I don't know. What I had to do was to remove entirely the Japanese in this list.

    I thought that this could happen because there are a lot of Japanese users who also have English in their lists, and therefore Firefox guess I'm Japanese, learn English as a second language?

    Anyway, if you have this problem, remove it from the list and it should be fine.

  • Some Web Sites display blue text on the left without images

    It doesn't matter what browser I use, some web sites appear as single text in blue on the left without images in all. I am very frustrated and tried all sorts of things: empty my cache, my history of clearing installation of flash, shockwave, java installation, etc. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Style sheets are the rules for the display of the items on the page. For example, change the list of links of chips in a horizontal row without underscore is done with style rules.

    This page on worldnews.nbcnews.com gets most of its stylesheets to a completely different server, www.cdn.newsvine.com. If a filter is binding "third party" content (there may be other names for it) which could explain why the problem occurs on some sites and not others.

    Try to disable all filters of content including the ad blockers.

  • Some Web sites do not show text correctly but only in Firefox

    Firefox does not display text on some web sites, all I get are |, <>of arrows, points etc and yet I can see very well in Chrome or IE pages. IV removed my FF, disabled theme Add ons and check if everything is updated and still nothing.

    Its really annoying, the main site, I have a problem with is http://www.three.co.uk but I just discovered this site well http://css-plus.com/examples/plugins/PlusSlider/ there has been others in the past, but I just ignored it for a while but now its annoying me! 99.99% of the sites are absolutely perfect and if I disabled style sheets I see the text very well, but of course, it's all left aligned etc.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    Try the pref gfx.content.azure.enabled set to false or if this does not help disable Direct2D by setting the pref gfx.direct2d.disabled true on the subject: config page and leave hardware acceleration enabled otherwise.

    Alternatively, you can try to uninstall the update of Windows KB2670838 if you have this update.

  • I have sec_error_bad_signature trying to open some Web sites

    When I try to open some Web sites, or connect to address secure (wttps) I get sec_error_bad_signature.

    Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Try renaming the file cert8.db in the Firefox profile folder in cert8.db.old or remove the cert8.db file to remove the intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.

    If it helped to solve the problem, then you can delete the renamed file cert8.db.old.
    Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the file cert8.db.old to cert8.db to restore previous intermediary certificates.
    Firefox automatically records the intermediate certificates when you visit Web sites that send such a certificate.

    If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

  • Gibberish, loading up on some Web sites

    So, for some time now, some Web sites have been appearing as pretty much gibberish. Just a series of things of brand black diamond-question thoes. I thought it was a problem of encoding, but I couldn't fix it, so I just used chrome for the weird site, I needed. In any case, now it has began to appear in more and more Web sites, and now finally it appears when I try to access my google account, making access to my impossible Email (on firefox). Here's a screenshot.

    I still think that it is a coding problem, but my infernal fiddeling doesn't seem to be changing anything at all.

    Any help would be great. I do not like the idea of switching to Chrome.

    2 updates ago I can't print from some Web sites, for example, print a coupon after an investigation, save... all places, check I used to be able to print from. Have Win7, HP PC and printer. Talked with HP, this problem with Firefox support as IE prints from these fine sites. Help, please!

    Sorry, I don't know how or why an obsolete add-on would be installed on a new PC, probably related to the installation of the printer of HP on the new PC software. I doubt if she was transferred with Firefox data files, as the SWP HP add-on is not installed directly in Firefox - is installed when the Firefox profile is all first run after installing the HP software and Firefox see a 'new add-on"in the registry, it would be rejected by Firefox due to the lack of compatibility of version number. My guess is that the whole profile has been copied to the new PC to an existing installation of Firefox that already had this Add on SWP installed and not only the data files of Firefox.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

    Help Mozilla make sure your favorite add-ons get updated for upcoming Firefox releases by using this extension to report whether they still work or are having some issues with alpha and beta releases. Note: Recommended for alpha and beta users only!

    The add-on Compatibility Reporter is intended to allow technically incompatible (internal version number is too low for the used version of Firefox on) modules so that the user can see if the add-on is or is not compatible and then report on the status at Mozilla. It does not solve an addition really incompatible or broken, it is the developer of each add-on to make the Fixin's. Yes, it is useful, when used as intended and not in anticipation of it being a 'magic wand' or an elixir. There is no "panacea" for the compatibility of modules.

    But that will change with Firefox 10, who will assume that add-ons for Firefox 4.0 or more are "compatible" with 10 Firefox and not turn off these modules as does now because of the "apparent incompatibility" based on version numbers. On the surface, it seems like a good idea, but once users begin having problems with Firefox Add-ons that have previously been disabled (due to mismatch of version number) - it's going to be trying to figure what add-on, each user is at the origin of the problems - in many more we see now. I am a pessimist by nature, that's my prediction of what we could do with 10 Firefox and the 'assumption that all modules are really compatible'.

  • Safari crashes when you visit some Web sites.

    Safari freezes when I visit certain websites. The sites include espn.go.com and www.nytimes.com. I think it might have something to do with the graphics on the page. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed. The gel causes me to restart the computer by using the toggle switch, as my mouse pointer can move, but can't click on anything. Thanks for the help.

    This seems to be the same problem that has affected particularly other Mac and PC users for the past two months, all over the world. Amazon sites especially behave badly in this regard, giving rise to not only the phenomenon of gel, but also the appearance of spinning beachball dreaded Mac. There has been lengthy discussions within these forums about this. Almost all browsers and all platforms are affected by this. Flash doesn't seem to be a factor, and the last three versions of Mac OS x - Mavericks and El Capitan, Yosemite - are also affected.

    The problem seems to be caused by Javascript has changed to some Web sites, which now makes these sites less compatible with browsers. My own investigations have shown that, in the case of Safari, the problem was sensitive to the fontsize. Certainly, in the case of the iMac, if you went in the settings of Safari preferences, to the Advanced tab and set the browser fontsize on 14 or less, he avoided the question and subsequently, the site was stable. In your case, you use a MacBook, but nevertheless it might be useful to try the same thing.

    This problem is widespread, but it will never be fixed unless and until Apple is enough complaints from users. So, complain! http://www.apple.com/feedback. Web sites have to say so, but it is not so easy to communicate with their developers, I found.

    This question has become huge in its importance. Apple seems insensitive to this (or selfless), even after a few months.

    My personal opinion is that, regardless of the implementation "upset" JavaScript on the Web sites, Safari itself has a few bugs in this area. I found the beachball appearing momentarily (with no adverse effect after) when switching back to using the Web to an embedded application or the GUI of my router, for example.
