Hi, I have updated Mozilla to the latest version however it is still taking too long to load. Can someone help me fix this please? do you think it is due to some Add-ons I have? I have uninstalled some add-ons I don't need anymore and if that is the problem I'll remove some others though it would be a pity.
Thanks for your help.

It's not add-ons that increase Mozilla Firefox Loading time, even if they do, it is negligible. Mozilla Firefox is a heavy browser and takes time to load. It should be counted as a heavy application.

For quick browsing, you should try Google Chrome. It starts in 0.6 seconds on my old PC. That's the fastest!!!

Regards,
AJ-Rox

It could be too many add-ons or it could be that your PC has a low amount of RAM available. How much RAM does your computer have? Try closing some other programs that are unnecasariy. Have a look on your task bar in the bottom right for unnecasary programs and exit them. First though, look into the options of the program and see if there is an option like "Start on Windows startup" and un tick that if you can. I look forward to your reply.

Hi, I have 1GB ram but I don't think that's the problem as I had already chosen programs to load on startup a long time ago and I always open firefox when I start up pc so there are no other programs running except from antivirus. thanks for your help, have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 58/100. LeeHolt (114)   ranked 3,692 out of 15,200 in internet  6 months ago

There could be part of your problem, because 1GB RAM isnt much anymore. Which operating system are you running?


myLot reputation of 86/100. dolphin2406 (693)   ranked 492 out of 15,200 in internet  6 months ago

windows xp, I also think my laptop now needs another format:(

Hello dolphin,
I am also using the trial version of the Mozilla Firefox 3.5 for the last week or so. I am happy with its speed and all but I also face the same problem as yours. It takes just too much time to get initiated and launch. I have not yet installed any of the add ons so take my word for it that it is not due to the add ons. I hope someone finds a fix to it soon.


myLot reputation of 86/100. dolphin2406 (693)   ranked 492 out of 15,200 in internet  6 months ago

ooohh that's great for an update:( I have 3.0.1 installed and thought that it was the latest version since I updated last month or so. It seems that there is nothing to do then. Have to check if there is an option not to check for add-ons updates at start up so it will take less to load. thanks a lot, have a nice day.

If you've installed the new Firefox 3.5, it is really slow compared to the older version. Mozilla is trying to fix the bug based on what I've read from the firefox forums but the earliest timetable for a more stable 3.5.02 version is still a month away. Your best option right now is to downgrade and install older FF versions. cool


myLot reputation of 86/100. dolphin2406 (693)   ranked 492 out of 15,200 in internet  6 months ago

no I don't have that and now I will not update until I see reviews that it is faster. thanks for your help. enjoy your day.

Yes it is true that the new version have some things that work really slow as loading so if you have much adds-on you can remove some but i think this is not the real motivation to that may be they must fix some things in the new version see that it was quite not good as the old one!!


myLot reputation of 86/100. dolphin2406 (693)   ranked 492 out of 15,200 in internet  6 months ago

hope they'll fix it. for now i found firefox the best browser to use.

Hey,

I don't really know how to fix your Firefox loading problem, sorry about this. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question better than I have done, in a really good way so you can actually benefit from it. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!happy
