My firefox stays very very slow despite resetting it twice. What can I do ?
Hi there,
it is very slow, slow. Sometimes it chrashes or it stops or it does not react at all. I reset it twice but no change at all. You tube videos are slower than the voices and sometimes it jumps some frames.
I like firefox but It bothers me that it does not work. Thanks a lot for your help !

Lets do a few things to speed Firefox up for you:
- Update Firefox to the latest release you should be running Firefox 33.1.1 (Firefox 34 comes out next week as well)
- Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
- http://www.update.microsoft.com to update Windows. Do this several times and make sure you install all service packs.
- Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware, malware can slow down Firefox.

Let me know if these steps help!
In the address bar, type about:crashes. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers, click it and select Submit.
Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
If you still have problems;
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then check ALL of your settings; Browser and add-ons.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.
Fred, this is a thread about performance problems, not crashes. Please make sure you read a thread before you reply. Thanks

Posting advice to disable HWA, which will slow down Firefox, isn't helpful in a thread that is about Firefox running slow unless you know that HWA is the problem...
