A business website has a page that allows me to see items scanned to their server for the last 90 days. The server hosting this page takes more than 1 minute to begin loading to the browser - the back and forth symbol in the browser.

I timed this event today, and Firefox times out after 1 minute. My work around is to use Chrome with the same webpage and it took more than 4 minutes before images started to arrive.

It would be handy to have the timeout adjustable in the settings tab of Firefox. If I choose to sit on what I know is a very slow website for 5 minutes so be it.

Let me know what adjustments I can make - 400mb internet, 5ghz hard wired to the router. This is the slowest site we ever access.

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?

Trying to browse ebay using Firefox. The pages have become really slow when loading.When scrolling down the page is blank then slowly populates as I scroll down the page. I've just tried microsoft edge and there is no problem.

since the uptate to version 144.0.2 I have two problems. the first one is async streaming on platforms eg. youtube or netflix. The videos take a very long time to load. Even if a video has already preloaded and I skip to that area, the video takes an extremely long time to load again. The 2nd problem i have in livestreams eg. live-TV or twitch. The loading time is very long. It is so long that many livestreams are doesn't even able to start. So, it is no longer possible for me to watch livestreams on Firefox. what i've done to fix it: - I deactivated all Add-on's and deleted all browser Data - I made a new profile and deleted the old ones - I reinstalled Firefox

Nothing worked. so pls can you help me that I can use Firefox normally as usual? (sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany)

For the past few days, DDG search has been slow. I'm using Firefox version 146.0.1 on Windows 11. Disabling extensions didn't help, but clearing the cache had an effect: The first search after clearing cache is fast (about 1 second), but subsequent searches are slow (about 15 seconds). I was able to repeat this sequence several times. I also cleared cookies, but that didn't seem to have any effect. DDG Search works fine in a Private window. I'm stumped!

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.

I refreshed the browser, I switched off all of the extensions; makes no difference. If I switch adblock plus back on, it doesn't block ads. Everything is super slow. It takes forever for some pages to load. I had no problems before the most recent update.

firefox has always opened instantly when i click it, but within the past few weeks it takes 10 to 15 seconds to get going. computer restarts don't seem to make any difference. any thoughts?

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

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.

Recently I’ve had a few Firefox problems on my W11 desktop. Sometimes when I try to load a website, nothing appears until several seconds (30 or more) have passed. During that time, the bottom of the screen shows the message Transferring data. Then, after that long wait, very often only a top piece (1/3 to ½) of the page appears. If I wait long enough (a minute or two), the rest of the page appears. Another problem is illustrated in the two images. When I go to AARP, I get the first image. T then press the Reload button and the second image appears. This problem is fairly recent. Previously, the first image always loaded with not problem. Any ideas of what’s happening and, even more importantly, how it can be fixed? Thanks.

Hello! After a clean install of Windows 11 24h2 Pro, Mozilla Firefox is unusable. It takes about 2 minutes to load a page which is abnormal. I remember I had the same issue when I first installed Windows 11 23H2 Pro and that was resolved somehow but it was 2 or 3 years ago and I've no idea what the solution was back then. I've tried some basic stuff including Test suggestion which of course didn't resolve anything as almost all of them are referring to cleaning cache, reinstall Firefox etc and it literally has nothing to do with my situation. Any solutions?

Hi, I've noticed that web pages load slower recently. As all of the recent updates seem to be about adding AI features to the browser, I can only assume that this is the problem. I have disabled the .ml. settings and saw an improvement in performance, but performance is still degrading over time as new updates release, so I'm guessing that I missed something in the settings.

I'm also concerned about privacy. As these AI features make use of tools that cannot always be run completely locally, it increases vulnerability to provide very little value, if any at all. I would argue that it makes the browser worse rather than better, so that's not worth any level of risk to me.

If these features continue to be expanded then I will look for an alternative browser. I know that it is tough to find browsers which aren't Chromium-based these days, but it's not impossible. Firefox is not the only choice.

Ok, this is a weird one.

I can't load https://duckduckgo.com. It breaks search in a new tab, but I also can't visit it directly from the url. The tab simply does not load.

I've cleared cache, cookies, and extensions. I've refreshed Firefox more than once.

I can visit https://html.duckduckgo.com. I can visit https://lite.duckduckgo.com.

However! In a private window, I can visit https://duckduckgo.com It still breaks in a secondary normal window.

No other site appears to be broken.

I have tried several online suggestions to speed up page load on my Firefox browser. None have improved my situation. I can start a web page load on Firefox while simultaneously working from another browser. The other browsers load and I am able to complete my business before Firefox even loads. I am quite frustrated by this as I have used Firefox for as long as I can remember.

I am using Windows 11
