Firefox Community Forum

Since I updated to version 157.0, my YouTube is performing extremely slow. I haven's changed any settings since the update. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Ever since the last update or two when I click on links to open websites, it renders a white screen and I see waiting at the bottom. It takes forever for websites to open. I have toggled acceleration on and off, disabled Windows 11 Efficiency Mode and nothing is working. I am a web developer and I really need websites to open. They open quickly in Chrome but not Firefox after the update and I may need to start using Chrome.

I have been user of Firefox for many years now, always setting up as default browser and in early times even uninstalling Edge, but within the last year i see more and more websites getting sluggish in firefox, Sites that dont fihish to load, blank pages, opening links taking long time. Facebook, ebay, amazon and many online stores are getting worse by the day

At the same time i open Edge and it fly, no sluggish nor blank pages, no delays

I dont like edge, i am not interested in using it

Is there a bunch of settings i can tweak to make Firefox more fluid in those websites?

Thank you Frank

I rely on Firefox entirely for my business. I'm really concerned that Firefox is become choked up - it is really slow to load pages. Am desperate to get it cleaned up ('serviced' so to speak) but am finding it difficult to get simple instructions to do this myself. Where can I get expert help?

I am currently in Dubai, UAE, and I am experiencing extremely slow speeds on YouTube when using the Firefox browser with a VPN.

Everything was working fine about two hours ago, but suddenly the speed dropped so much that I can no longer watch videos. Even when they do load, they start buffering after only a minute.

Hello, I am having a problem with Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10.

Firefox sometimes keeps loading continuously and some websites do not open properly or take a very long time to load. My internet connection is working normally, and the same websites may work better in another browser.

I have tried closing and reopening Firefox, restarting my computer, and refreshing the website, but the problem still happens.

Please help me check what may be causing this problem and how I can repair or reset Firefox without losing my bookmarks, passwords, and important data.

Thank you.

When trying to log on websites, I have to way a very long time for the website to open up. Many times, it will time out and I have to try again. I thought it was my internet connection, but when I go to a different browser like Chrome or Edge, the websites open up right away. How can I fix this problem?

I use both Firefox and Chrome with 2 separate EBay accounts so I don't to keep switching logins.

Firefox is very SLOW TO LOAD my EBay pages (like 10-15seconds). Chrome is almost instant.

Can you try and load an EBay page logged in as a seller and see WHY there is such a lag in loading.

I'm using a state of the art Win 11 Alienware machine on a 1 Gig internet. I've tried switching which account I log into and it's the same. So it's NOT the computer, the internet connection or the individual account.

Thanks!

Na eBay slike proizvoda se otvaraju jako sporo i treba po nekoliko sekundi da se izoštre. Nekada je to radilo momentalno. Nedavno sam uspio naći riješenje ali se opet vratilo usporavanje.

Firefox 150.0.2 (64-bit)

After rebooting my computer, Firefox hangs for a very long time trying to access common websites such as cnn.com, facebook.com, mozilla.org and apnews.com. A google search will work, but the links (including the google control links at the top such "AI Mode All ... More Tools" are not active. Often there is a message at the botton of the screen indicating some external site is being accessed. During this time, other sites that do not have external references will quickly open in other tabs (bwi.com is a good example). After about 20 minutes, everything magically starts working correctly. Disabling "secure DNS" does not correct this problem.

Other browsers seem to be working fine, so it's not an issue with Youtube. Videos that previously loaded in fractions of a second, and previews that played instantly, all now take several seconds to, sometimes 10+ seconds to load. Even page elements take forever to load. The only difference from two days ago, is that Firefox got a new update, as far as I can tell. So what happened? Is there a fix?

What’s going on with Firefox? Lately, I keep getting hit with reCAPTCHA over and over again, and YouTube is lagging badly. I reinstalled Firefox, deleted everything (cookies, etc.), cleaned up my PC, and reinstalled everything—yet YouTube still lags. I’ve noticed it’s always worse in the morning than in the evening. I tried using other browsers, and YouTube lags there too. What’s happening with YouTube and Firefox? Did something change? Are there conflicts between old and new cookies? Something other change ?

i get to NETFLIX home page, but then wait up to 30 seconds before it activates. little messages at the bottom flash by, the first one: "Read help.nflxext.com" then there's something about "transferring from..." this began a week or so ago. i have the latest firefox update. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR using SAFARI. thanks.
