Any one having this problem with firefox?

Hello VinceMcMahon! I am a programmer and I pretty well understand why those Firefox developers want to design Firefox that way. This does not only apply to Firefox but to other latest applications as well. I'll try to explain this in simpler terms. When your computer is newly switched on, Firefox is not loaded into your computer's memory. When you decide to run Firefox, it will load the browser plus all the necessary add-ins (plugins, themes, extensions, etc). This would surely consume an amount of time. When you try to open another tab with the Firefox running already, it would not take much time. In fact, the appearance of the new tab is immediate. This is because those Firefox developers had designed it in a way that it will not load another set of add-ins unlike the first instance when you tried to open the browser.

I'm not sure what it is but i do know firefox is the best internet browser out there and i hope you figure out your problem

I have the same problem as you and I really appreciate the tips mentioned in this discussion. I'll try them and see what works Thanks for starting this discussion!

Ya, it's quite slow when you open it for the first time. After that, it will become faster. I guess it takes time to load the features and stuffs. I love using Mozilla Firefox as I find it more convenient and pleasant than Internet Explorer.

You mean when you open it up from your desktop? I notice that it does take a while to do that. I have had some problems once before like this. But, my husband fixed this. He did not tell me how, but he fixed it to where it is not taking forever in loading up. I think that I had too many files on my computer that I was not using to cause this to happen. I think that you may have the same problem, but I cannot be to sure. But, I know that it is doing better as to loading up. But, if I open one firefox, then open up another, it will not take so long when I open up one when I am on the Internet.

i think it's normal for it to take longer to open up when you first on your computer. the same goes with other applications too. lets say i open a game. the first time i open it it takes quite some time. but after that, if the game happens to crash and i re-open it again, it takes much faster to start. however, i find that on my laptop, the IE lags my computer A LOT. i think it's because it has a lot of different functions. so each time it opens, all the functions have to load

That is normal when you are starting up because your system is still scanning programs of your computer. That is more slower especially when you have so many programs. Take time. Do not rush. One way to make it faster, remove programs that are unnecessary. Do not just delete them. Use uninstall or the add/remove programs.

I have tried to use firefox before but it didn't work well with my computer at all. I use internet explorer and I never have any problems.

I dont know why it happens but I share the same problem and results.

hey, it does happen to me sometime if i didn't give the laptop 5 minutes to start up the system and be refreshed... try to give ur system sometime before logging on directly after switching on... and refresh it twice or trice, and then start doing your work... smiley,

yes,my firefox also so slowly,i don't know what's problem with this browser,but i don't think this browser is not the best,why do try use another browser,as you know,so many browser you can choice.

Yeah...I guess all the computers respond like that for me you and for all. It is because when you try to open the firefox for the first time there are a lot of other applications like antivirus and other system programs working in the background. So when you open the firefox along with these, it is for sure that it will be a bit slow.

Personally I also same type problem.I solve it finishing all job in Firefox and close all the tabs of it when i close it.I think if you updated your Firefox.you may get rid of this problem.Thanks to discuss the firefox problem.
