Suddenly, Firefox is slow & hard to concentrate on this machine; Why?

I reinstalled reset sound settings, etc. & I don't know what the problem is. It is slow on this machine.

That would be a question for the Firefox forums. You will find them via Google.

  • Firefox starts slow, but works well in safe mode with all the running addons - why?

    Then... all of a sudden my Firefox (v. 38.0.1) is really laggy, with slow-to-respond buttons, scrolling etc. So I manually disable all addons, but nothing helped. Then I try safe mode and it works very well. Large. So I turn on my addons again one by one, until they are all allowed and it still works fine. My conclusion: it isn't the addons. What is what is the cause? I have updated all my addons and just Silverlight, Flash, Google updater, Shockwave and some others.
    One solution would be for this mode - Safe with addons running - being my default start mode, but I can't work out how to do it. Is no huge problem because I can make Firefox work perfectly, but it's a little bit of your time.
    Any ideas?

    Hi RufusWalker, please see if Firefox is slow after upgrading to Firefox 38 covers and solves your problem.

  • Firefox is slow

    I was running firefox 37.0.2 with kaspersky antivirus 2013 and zonealarm pro and had no problems. After that I updated to kaspersky antivirus 2015. I tried to start firefox and it took a long time to load up. When I try to search something on google, it takes a long time to load a page. So I tried to refresh and it didn't work so I tried to upgrade to the latest version of 38.0.1, also did not work. So ive installed kaspersky anti-virus 2013 again and again, firefox is slow. Ive tried refresh characteristic, clean the cache, clear the acceleration hardware and even went to firefox 34. None of them worked.
    When I run firefox with Pei firefox.exe and select a profile, firefox works fine, but when I launch it from bar tasks, it is very slow to start to the top and loading pages. And when I try to delete a profile, it ask me to delete the files. If I try to do, it freezes as well. So I can only manually delete new profiles.

    Thanks for the help. I removed kaspersky antivirus and zonealarm firewall pro and installed kaspersky internet security and it works well. I think the last patch of kaspersky antivirus 2013 (patch L) is causing a conflict with zonealarm pro.

  • Firefox is slow to start, when I select address or homepage it opens automatically. Do reset firefox before but not save the settings so reluctant to do it again.

    When I open firefox my homepage or any address is very slow in opening. But when I select address little whatever it is, it opens automatically. I did a reset on firefox, but it did not spare the words password or settings, so I hesitate to do it again.

    For later use, it is possible to retrieve the settings of the folder on the desktop "old data Firefox:

    Please consider these troubleshooting steps:

  • UI of Firefox is slow by typing or selecting the text (after update 33.0)

    After the 33.0 update, I noticed that typing a backspace in any area on a Web page or even in the Firefox address bar is slow to echo, on a lag of 1 second. Also, by selecting the text typed (to remove a TI, etc.) by a click-and - drag quick selects the entire, but when I click in the dialog box to deselect, the part which has not been posted as selected initially, is selected for a moment before the string whole hilite selection disappears.

    What makes the browser very cumbersome to use.

    This seems to be new to 33.0. I tried to reset Firefox, but it does not solve the problem. No problem in IE 11.0, so I do not think that the malware. I have also to keep all s/w and run avast/zonealarm for safety. I've never had an infection of malicious software on this machine. Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, 8 GB of RAM. The use of resources is low, so not out of process control.

    I have request the latest Microsoft "Patch Tuesday" updates 15/10, the same day that I updated to Firefox. This can complicate the diagnosis. But even once, IE was not affected, then, how the different Firefox UI for basic keyboard/screen I/O?

    If there is an easy way to "downgrade" to the 32.0.3 prior revision, I could try to confirm. Help, please!

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

  • Firefox is slow--particularly unresponsive in private mode

    Firefox is slow to respond. Particularly bad in private mode. Have tried all the recommended fixes. What now...

    What have you tried?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

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

    See "create a profile":

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

  • My MacBook suddenly started working slow

    Hello! I got my MacBook Pro since 2012 and it suddenly started running slow. I rebooted several times. Also, I deleted some files, but it does not work perfectly. I noticed that when I start watching the video in my MacBook, it will stop so many times. In addition, when I search in Safari and do whatever it is, the system is slow and the MacBook is going to be so warm. Yesterday I used the application disk utility and test diagnostic equipment, but these processes did not affect the system of my MacBook. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before I take it to the repair shop and spend money on something that I could have probably staring at me.

    Here is some information on my MacBook

    MacBook Pro (13 inch, late 2011)

    2.8 GHZ Intel Core i7 processor

    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory

  • Why Firefox MUCH slower than the 8.1 9.0? Just downloaded and tried and am used to dramatic improvements instead!

    It's a fact! Web pages load much more slowly, and I deleted the cache and done all the typical checks of my pages frequently visited with the same result.

    I just found the problem. For some reason, when I upgraded to 9.0, the settings in tools/options have been modified in the section on how Firefox connects to the Internet. I found to be returned to: 'use the system proxy settings' when I had previously put in "no proxy settings." Once I changed back, the speed is back up on top of the browser and everything checks very well now. Just in case you guys that see happen, then check this particular setting.

    In my situation, I am just connect to Sprint broadband with card data and did not the routers or network worry except that Windows 7 has implemented when I update software Sprint from time to time. This suggests that maybe Firefox 9.0 was just delivered to this particular my computer configuration, although it worked well like that. I hope this might help someone else!
