When i'm working at my company, firefox is very very very slow. Sometimes it got crashing, and most of the time what i have to do is open Task Manager and kill the flash player plugin.exe. I usually hardly scroll down/up on any website.

But at my home, with the same laptop, it's very ok, awesome performance.

Both networks are wireless. At my company, it's a wifi router, at my home, it's a Cisco access point.

This issue happened to me about a year ago, but i keep expecting the new version will make things right, but it did not.

FYI : I'm using a Dell Inspiron N5110, Core i5, 4GB RAM, Geforce 525M 1GB. Windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Hi hoangnnm

a few reasons:

1)connection speed slower than your home

2)congested ISP

3)ISP not delivering the promised speed

4)wrong Quality of service(QoS) parameters for the available internet speed

5)interference from open WiFi radio

6)running background applications (downloading files using accelerators, torrents, p2p programs, open messengers)


thank you

Hi ideato. Thanks alot for your replies.

1. The speed is much faster than my home's. 2. I don't think so. 3. I don't think so too coz the speed is good, the proof is my download speed is very fine. 4. I know nothing about this. 5. I'm not sure about this, and can not check it my self also. 6. I have torrent software running background. But i let it run all the time, at my home also. I quit the application this morning to see if firefox got better but it did not.

And one more thing, sometimes i open only one tab, with a very simple website, even no flash, but the memory firefox took go up to 200-300 MB.

Is there any proxy used or required with that company network?

If the "Use the system proxy settings" setting or one of the others doesn't work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

Hi Guys, just to let you know i found out why. It's Kaspersky Internet Security installed on my machine. After removing KIS and replace with Norton Antivirus 2011, everything's fine now.

Thanks for your attention !
