Firefox stops loading pages. I try to browse a webpage and it just keeps loading, but nothing happens (black screen). I open chrome, request the same webpage, it loads immediately. In Firefox, it keeps loading. Sometimes it loads it after 1-2 minutes. Sometimes not. Problem is fixed after restarting firefox, but comes back again after some time.

My network is pretty fast -

• Download Speed - 76.30 mbps
• Upload Speed - 113.13 mbps
• Idle Latency - 61 ms
• Download Latency - 59 ms
• Upload Latency - 18 ms

Even though this is a pretty fast network connection, my websites on firefox take a long time to load, for example youtube takes like 2 seconds to load, and sometimes some elements of the website do not even load. This is a very annoying problem which I would like a solution for.

For the last few months I've been getting slow responses with online applications. When I switch to chrome, it all runs at a normal pace. Specifically with " The Customer Factor"

Hello everyone,

While testing some fan-made game community websites, I noticed that Firefox handles them a bit differently compared to Chrome or Edge. For example, I checked https://nullsbrawl.tech/ (not an official site, just a community project) and saw that it loads more slowly and sometimes behaves differently in Firefox.

This made me curious:

Does Firefox have different handling for script-heavy or unofficial community websites?

What tools in Firefox Developer Tools would you recommend for debugging performance issues?

Are there guidelines for developers to make such sites more compatible with Firefox?

I’d love to understand more about how Firefox manages these situations.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Chrome user returning to Firefox here; I'm experiencing an issue where most pages would take at least 4 to 6 seconds to load, especially for heavy media sites like YouTube which could take 6 seconds for it to be barely usable, and 10 or 13 seconds for it to finish loading. My internet speed is 1gb at most and 800 Mbps at the least.

It loads sites like Reddit pretty fast, like 3-5 seconds interestingly. It's largely YouTube and other sites where the pages load infuriatingly slowly, and Chrome Mask did not helped with this.

Here are the things I did: Refreshed Firefox, started in Troubleshoot mode, installed Chrome Mask for YouTube (Did not work), disabled DNS, closed all foreground apps except Firefox, used a different profile and enabled/disabled hardware acceleration.

Final notes, it says I use Microsoft Defender Antivirus but I am actually using Malwarebytes. I also use uBlock Origin which is the entire reason why I permanently switched from Chrome to Firefox.

I'm having trouble signing into to some online news sites especially videos. The screen shows activity without actually loading a video or website site. I can't connect, it just keeps spinning.

I have to resort to using Chrome (yuck) when using Fedex.com. Please fix issues with Firefox and Fedex.com (very, very slow loading) thank you

Going to ANY website, it takes "forever" to load, but after loading normal speed is experienced. One way to get a website to initially load more quickly is to click the "X" which the spinner is going endlessly, then refresh the page, whereupon it will usually load instantly.

The problem is experienced with any and every website. This problem does not occur with Chrome or Edge:

Windows 11, Firefox 142.0.1 64 bit.

My computer is running very slowly on Firefox. It takes forever to load anything on Facebook, or my Bank, or any other site where I want to use Firefox. I have DuckDuckGo for search, and that is really slow, too. So I thought that maybe Firefox needs to be updated. But I don't know where to find the Menu Bar. I am 80 years old and don't know the computer "jargon." By coming here I lost your step-by-step directions about what to do AFTER I find the Menu!

Hello, I am Firefox Android user and i am having issue with Firefox while browsing substack.com website, When i open that website from a chromium based browser it works well but in Firefox it is slow and in my old mobile(android 9) which is even slower and i never wanted to open it. Twitter(X) is also heavier to open. I stopped using it from Firefox and using a chromium browser for these logins.

Firefox has all the features i wanted and i am satisfied that it is better than any other browser but lacks in performance. It is not smooth as Chromium browser.

Please look into it and it would be great if it just be more smooth like Chromium based browsers.

Thank you
