I use several browsers and when it comes to functionality I consider FFox to be the best however with 1 major drawback - it's speed / lag issues which is why I stopped using it as my primary browser and only as secondary one

I can have 2 different Chromium based browsers open simultaneously and while this impacts the performance somewhat if I open Firefox and another browser responsiveness grinds to a halt (sometimes even crashes)

Even just starting Firefox by itself takes 5x as long as other browsers

So I'm wondering is Firefox just more resource intensive or is there something wrong with my setup?

The main difference between my Firefox install and my other browsers is the number of Bookmarks (10000s) due to me having it installed for much longer so is it possible for a large number of Bookmarks to slow the browser down even when not open ?

Other possible causes I read elsewhere are 'Cookies and site data' (currently around 50mb)

I clear the 'Temporary cached files' & 'Browsing history' on regular basis so they shouldn't be an issue

The add-ons I have installed are NoScript , Ublock Origin & Firefox Color

In regards to troubleshooting is it possible to install a 2nd install on the same system simultaneously without overwriting the current one ?

Thanks

When I open any stream, it takes about 2.5 seconds from the start of the page loading to the appearance of the stream image and playback. For comparison, in version 137 it took about 1.0 seconds.

I tried to launch the browser (Firefox 138.0.1) in troubleshooting mode, and also created a new profile, but the problem remained.

I also downloaded portable versions: 137.0.1 - everything is fine. 138.0 and 140.0a1 - slow loading.

I also have Zen Browser installed (the latest version is based on 138.0.1) - everything is fine.

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

In my browsing video sites (for example, bilibili.com) there will be frequent lag. The same network conditions in Firefox just can't load or load slowly. There are only a few plug-ins. I don't know why the more updated it is, the more stuck it becomes. Or you could come out with a lite version. I don't need too many complicated features. Thank you.

The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

How do I change the time out to a longer time?

Mein Firefox (137.0.2 (64-Bit) auf einem Windows 11-PC) lädt einige Webseiten sehr langsam. Davon betroffen sind Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Google. Andere Seiten wie z.B. youtube, spiegel.de, zdf.de etc. lädt er schnell und ohne Probleme. Cache löschen hilft nicht. Ebenso bringt ein neues Browserprofil nichts.

I use Yahoo as my homepage and access it through Mozilla. Normally it loads in mere seconds. Last night and today it is taking extremely long to load and in some cases it has timed out. When it does load, all the pictures and other features are not included and either don't load or load much later.

I tried to load Yahoo from MIcrosoft Edge and it loaded perfectly. I am assuming there is an issue with Mozilla?

Thanks for looking into this matter and letting me know.

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with all the latest Windows updates installed; running Windows version 23H2. Firefox release I'm having problems with: 137.0.2.

Just upgraded to release/version 137.0.2. The first time I open Firefox each day it takes about 2 to 3 minutes for ANY website to load. Sometimes when a web page does eventually load none of the images display.

I have tried same websites using Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge. Websites don't have problems loading using either of those 2 browsers unless I have Firefox open in another window. If they load slowly, as soon as I close Firefox, web page load quickly in Chrome or Msoft Edge.

Not a RAM problem because I typically have around 20% of my RAM being used.

Did not have any of these problems using Firefox version 137.0.1.

UPDATE: Thought maybe it was one of my add-on/extensions so I checked for updates. Four needed updating. Made the updates and website still no loading properly.

Hello, recently I have done in-place upgrade of windows 10 to 11. From that time loading of some pages in Firefox was very slow. For example www.google.com was loaded for about 90seconds. But next loading of the same page before Firefox restart was fast. So I had suspicion to Dns. But when I disabled DoH (Dns over HTTPs) nothing changed. What helped was to set the problematic page to DoH exceptions. So seems, that disabling of DoH is not really disabling, minimally on Windows 11. For sure during troubleshooting I tried it with disabled extensions, new profile, ... But nothing worked. Is there any other way how to disable DoH completely in Firefox? Setting network.trr.mode checked and was set to 5, which should be disabling.

my firefox is taking forever to load any type of page, and in addiition the thunderbird is also slow. I re-downloaded mozilla, but it is still downloading so skow. just last two days, and when I say slow like 2 minutes to open a page. HELP

I'm working onoptimizing a web application optimizing a web application and noticing some performance lags (e.g., slow page load and laggy interactions) specifically in Firefox.

I’ve used Chrome DevTools for performance profiling before, but I’m not as familiar with Firefox’s tools. I see there's a Performance tab, but I’m not sure how to interpret the flame chart, event markers, or how to pinpoint what's causing the slowness.

Can someone guide me through the process of debugging performance issues debugging performance issues in Firefox Developer Tools? Specifically:

How to profile JavaScript execution?

How to identify slow rendering or layout shifts?

Any tips for using the memory and network panels effectively?

I’m using Firefox version XX.X on [OS], and this is a React-based app.

Any tips, resources, or walkthroughs would be appreciated!

Hello,

I'm experiencing performance issues when loading webpages on Firefox on my Pixel A phone. I usually keep only one tab open and run uBlock Origin. I mainly visit sites like Best Buy and Amazon, but honestly, all webpages take forever to load.

Could this be due to the 8GB of RAM on the Pixel A series? On my Samsung S24 Ultra, I rarely run into these issues.

I love Firefox and will continue to support it, but this is really heartbreaking. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am working on a brand new computer (i7 14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5) with a brand new install of Firefox and sometimes it just won't load certain pages without me stopping it, refreshing, and then (most of the time) it all pops in. Browsing the web works perfectly in Edge, but in Firefox it has been a struggle. Some sites, like Discord, load VERY slowly and most of the time I need to force a refresh via shift and hitting refresh. Discord will take so long to load any image that I see it as a colorful blur before the photo fully loads in for view.

I'm running the most recent version of Windows 11, Firefox v137.0.1 (also had this issue with v137).

I have tried things in Troubleshoot Mode and didn't make a difference. I uninstalled Firefox, removed the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder, and reinstalled but no change. What I haven't tried is Refresh Firefox, but that's because since Troubleshoot Mode didn't make a difference it's a bit hard to imagine Refresh Firefox will -- but if people think it's worth trying I certainly will give it a go!

I've been a FF user for as long as I can remember and I really don't want to give it up so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on here because I am currently at a loss and it's a big bummer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am having a lot of difficulty opening websites ( NYtimes, Washington Post) they takes minutes to open. Sometimes minutes more to open article. ATT says line service is fine. NYT says it service is fine and it works on EDGE Any thoughts?

Hi all! Happy Firefox user for over 20 years here. Recently I've had to switch to Chrome for one of my use cases, Google Cloud Monitoring dashboards. They're evidently JS- and data-heavy, and they're often unusably slow in Firefox. I often see delays of 10s or seconds when clicking any button or link, rendering data, or doing anything else. They also seem to get slower the longer their tab is open in the browser. They're way more usable in Chrome; maybe not perfect, but drastically better.

Any thoughts?

I've used about:performance to take a profile on https://profiler.firefox.com/, and uploaded it to share.firefox.dev , and I know it claims to sanitize personal info, but I'm still a bit leery of posting the link publicly. Happy to share it with a Mozilla employee if that would help.

I'm running some devices with windows 10 and 11. All have same most current version of Firefox installed. There is no issue on Win10. With any Win 11 device, some pages as google.com take about 60s until they start loading. Once started the behavior disappears until restart of the browser (even tab gets closed). I'm using classic DNS (no DoH).

Here I've uploaded the profile: https://share.firefox.dev/4coxRg4

On Network it say's "DNS request 6ms", "after DNS request 60000ms".

With wireshark I can see different kind of DNS request on Win10 A and AAA gets request, on Win11 HTTPS gets request - no idea if that makes the difference as there in no delay in the response anyway.

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

When browsing on Youtube it takes a long time to load and display videos. Firefox seems to be searching for a long time before finally displaying videos. I've noticed that advertisements aren't displaying before videos anymore. Sometimes when video does finally play it isn't starting at the beginning, cutting out part of the video.

I've tried clearing caches, and history.
