Is Firefox browser been slow in connecting/responding/posting lately?

Hey friend, I've got some tips to speed up Firefox from some sites. You may try them out.

Sometimes when I go to open it as a browser it will say it is already running when it has been closed..... It has had some problem loading up the things I have been searching also.....

Well i do not see any performance changes in my firefox (actually i am using minefeild) may be there is a drop in the interent speed which you are getting . Did you try to get a bandwidth check on your internet connection.??

Mine is always slow...

I use firefox as preference and have no issues, it just updated to the new version too, so that maybe the reason you are having issues. I would do normal maintenance on my computer if I was you.

Speed in surfing/connecting in the web actually depend on the bandwidth of your internet connection and not in your browser. I am using Mozilla too yet I don't experience problems like that. My advice is have time checking y our bandwidth and it may also help if you also check your hardware for possible shortcomings otherwise a virus might be responsible of causing it.

Yes I have had trouble with slow response, hang ups and freezes with Firefox. Everytime they upgrade it gets worse and they also have a problem with script writing to page issues. They are aware of some these problems and mostly it is on slow computers old ones which is what I have.

I don't know if it was Firefox or Mylot or what but I tried about 40 minutes ago and it was so slow that I couldn't scroll or type. I had just been on other sites with IE and had no problems there. I left Mylot and Firefox and went to other sites with IE and again had no problems. I have to use Firefox at Mylot because the new Mylot is incompatible with my version of IE. Now Firefox and Mylot seem to be O'K so I don't know what the problem was for sure but it was almost as if one or the other was cramming spyware onto my computer.

I never noticed about this as regards firefox browser!!In fact i use firefox when i surf the ent and even when i post here on mylot and in reality the speed is the same if i use ie or others browsers!!I guess that the speed don't depends on browser hre but how much time mylot servers take to handle our different requests!

yes that has happened with me too i noticed that it will take a while to finish a post that i put up on firefox, but it is my favorite browser to use and it only seems to be slow on here for some reason, but they have just updated the firefox browser so i hope that helps it so it will go faster then it has been, because it has been a little annoying and you don't know if the post will go through or not and that always make me think oh no! maybe i will have to start all over.

Well, I'm not using firefox right now. After it runs for a certain length of time it keeps wanting to crash on me. Right now i'm not in the mood for errors poping up when I'm in the middle of trying to do something. I have better things to do with my time then to deal with that mess. I'm thinking of just uninstalling it and narrowing down the amount of programs on my computer.

Not only that. My fireFox browser always: NOT RESPONDING. Then, it said: We're sorry. It's embarrassing. Then, I decided to change my browser to Flock.

NO my Firefox hasn't been slow its just your internet connection.

it's not firefox dude maybe it is your anti-virus because im using avast now it really slows my internet connection

Firefox itself is faster than Internet Explorer, I find, and uses less memory. The more tabs you have open in either browser, the more memory and processor time it uses and the more cache space is required. If you have recently cleared your cache, then the sites you open regularly will appear to be slightly slower to load because all the graphics and scripts &c will have to be downloaded again. If you find that your PC and the Internet is slow, open Task Manager and check the Processes and Performance tabs. These will tell you how much processing time and memory is being used and by which applications. Make sure that no unexpected app is using more processing time than it should be and, if necessary, close the process to see if that makes a difference. After that, first suspect your connection speed, then check that you do not have any viruses, trojans, adware or other malware that could be causing the problem.

Firefox always has been different in its way, if anyone switching from IE to Firefox, they may experience the problem,or if any one who has used it for years and are constantly adding plugins and all features to it generally complain it being slow as for me Firefox is always a darl and i get most of my work perfectly and fast, well warm regards

This may be probably caused by some third party plugin or addons that you used.. Firefox tend to lose its stability and speed with unstable addons. Firefox used to crash frequently for me with different addons - experimented. After all that, Firefox is the fastest browser, After Chrome once surpased it.. Now the fastest browser for windows is Opera 10.5 ... Use it and you will certainly fall in love with it.. the interface, appearance, speed (ofcourse) is uncompareably superb!

Yeah, sometimes I'm also having problems using firefox. It takes time to upload and sometimes the webpage does not load at all. Sometimes When I get problems like that I use alternatives like explorer
