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:

Note also that you have an old version of firefox, 38.0.5 is the current version, please Update Firefox to the latest version.

Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Very slow Firefox on Windows 7

    I was a Mac with Firefox user and has been exceptionally good. I moved to a Windows 7 machine and loaded Firefox to continue my happiness with Firefox. I made Firefox my default.

    Unfortunately, I find the current Firefox for Windows 7 to create problems. Actual program start-up is very well. It is fine to make a favorite. That's when I'm clicking on the links on the pages I visit I begin to stall on.

    If I click on a link on a web page, I see the link being attempted, but it's just the blue circle goes round and round without resolution.

    Curiously, I've learned to simply click in the HTTP bar behind the attempt link and press the ENTER key to solve. It baffles me why this works, but clicking on the link even in the web page gets me nowhere. If I have a workaround, but it's not how Firefox should work, correct?

    I have disabled hardware acceleration. Who was previously asked by myself, because my first days with Firefox was originally freezes and real accidents. With that the disabled I am not crashing any longer.

    I also tried to reset Firefox with the same results. I have that Ghostery as an add-on (as I did on my Mac version).

    I am not savvy enough to understand the difference between the click versus the ENTER key.  Why does a click stall me out but why does a punch of the ENTER key to the same web page work?
    

    Try temporarily disabling the Ghostery and see if this problem has disappeared.

  • Site very slow Firefox 9 loads

    Since the upgrade to 9 I find that visiting web sites invariably means a 10 sec or more to wait until they take over.

    Once the site eventually support subsequent clicks to other pages are much faster.

    This happens even with all add ons disabled.

    Check out the tools/options and then go to advanced / network and check how Firefox connects to internet. When I downloaded 9.1, I found that she had changed this setting automatically and I had to restore. This is particularly problematic on Windows 7, it seems. Then experience the changes between the proxy and if no proxy. It seemed to solve mine with the "no proxy" on the web page loading speed.

    Finally, I went to the chain beta and downloaded after I had sped up 9.01, and the beta version is certainly superior! Try this if you're a brave soul and cannot get relief with 9.1

  • Time of loading very very very slow (Firefox and explore) with Flash content

    Yes Details:

    Professional Win7 64 bit

    Flash Player version: 11.1.102.55

    Problem:

    With the two browsers (Firefox and Explorer, the latter with 32-bit and 64-bit versions) it is impossible to use the web pages with Flash content, cause the loading time is too large (more than a minute) and during this time, the browser seems frozen.

    He began to arrive after the last cause upgrade to Flash version for a long time, I faced a strange behavior: whenever I rebooted the PC, a window with the request to update Flash appeared, and even I did the upgrade, the next time that I restarted the window appeared again. so after a lot of this, I decided to switch to the latest version available.

    But now, I had to disable the Flash option in the two browser for surfing the web, otherwise it's impossible to do.

    Can you help me???

    p.s. I already tried to uninstall everything with Adobe scripts, I also uninstalled Explorer and Firefox and installed everything again, but nothing!

    How to do a clean install of the Flash Player?

  • Since refreshing Firefox, why is he if very slow?

    Today, I had update Firefox as it kept crashing on the opening and I couldn't open it. Another thread said that an update was the best solution, so I now have Firefox V 40.0 using Windows OS 10.0.

    Suddenly, 2 hours after the update, it has slowed to a pace - slower than a very slow thing, like watching paint dry, like having an old snail dial-up connection. Takes about 15 seconds to load my homepage and long to change page in the same Web site or when connecting to a new Web site.

    What happened and what can I do to corrcet this? Is there something in the profile or the modules from my old version of FF that I need to add to the new version?

    I really love Firefox, but today begins to destroy my faith in the product.

    See you soon

    Sorry, looks like it has automatic sorting, because he is back to normal this morning. I think that there is a current Windows Update which I did not know everything. Looks like Microsoft have the ability of the user to determine when and how updates are delivered in 10 disabled Windows.
    My apologies for rushing on the forum for help.

  • After the malware problem, firefox is very slow, even though I uninstalled it twice.

    I have a malware problem. I have restored the windows and installed the Malwarebytes program. Also, I deleted the registry. After that, I send using firefox. However the mozila was very slow but not internet explore.
    Then, I uninstalled and installed mozila twice but the problem remains.

    Please try to run AdwCleaner and see if Firefox accelerates. If this does not help, try the following steps.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  • Firefox very slow, slow and unresponsive on Windows 8.1

    Basically, everything is very slow and each action takes a long time to complete - tabs, switching takes about half a second to a full second (5 seconds if there is another tab currently loading / refreshing), by clicking the Center button of the mouse takes more time, about half a second to a second for the exactly scrolling of arrows is displayed same thing with regularly by clicking on the scroll on the right, Firefox bar pretty much freezes for about a full second before reacting to the click.

    I tried to run Firefox with addons disabled, which did not help, which I did not know that he don't would be not since this problem started before I even had the addons - pretty good the second, I installed Firefox.
    I have Firefox running on an SSD card and a new installation of Windows 8.1. I tried the two Aurora and nightly (currently using every night), both are just as slow.

    I have not tried to reset, because once again, the question was already there during my first installation of Firefox.

    Figured out what the problem is - it is a software of DisplayFusion I use to support multiple monitors which is causing the problem. I'll just get an alternative until (if ever) the question ceases to exist.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Navigation between windows diff in firefox is very slow. Help, please.

    Firefox responds very slowly when I want to go to a different window that is already open, or if I press on + Options button to open the new window / tab, the response is very slow.

  • Given that downloading Firefox, my mouse is sticky and MSN games are hard to play and very slow to download. Any suggestions?

    I checked the system, apparently the mouse works fine. The games are very slow to download, and it is almost impossible to play because the mouse is so slow.

    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 start safe mode window or make changes.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    But I love FF and would be very happy if you can help me solve this problem.

    Hi Reos,

    When you reinstall Firefox it always uses your old profile with all the old things that you had. That said, you're lucky, there is a new feature that lets you "Reset" of Firefox. This will remove some of the pieces that might cause problems while it keeps your bookmarks and other important things safe.

  • Since Firefox 13.0.1 my scrolling speed is very slow and lazy. Disabled all the plugins still don't work. Any difficulty? I HATE IT!

    As soon as Firefox when through it's automatic 'upgrade' the scrolling action became very slow and lazy. I tried all this suggested (disable plug-ins, re-installing Firefox, restart the computer, etc.), but I still can't get back to the way it was. Is there a fix, or how can I re - install the older version that worked so well? I HATE THIS!

    Hello mjg263, firefox 13 introduced a scroll smoothly by default - it might not work well on older hardware.

    Please, try to update your video driver or if this does not improve the case you can disable scrolling smoothly in firefox/tools > options > advanced > general.
