Since the 145.0.2 update web pages are loading very sloooooooow. Also, images are loading very slowly, if they load at all. At the start pages would not load at all then about a week they started loading but very slow as mentioned. Any ideas/help will be very much appreciated. I am using Windows 11.

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.

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 home page is Fox News and Firefox current version is slow opening videos everywhere, but especially on Fox. Any ideas? They open quicker on other browsers but I like Firefox!!!

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!

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 browser worked fine until a few weeks ago. It then slowed considerably in serving pages. Instead of a few seconds, it would take 30 seconds. It has done this consistently since then. I don't recall installing new extensions. My other browsers work normally at normal page speed. The Windows OS seems to work fine as well.

Can anyone think what might be causing this & how to fix it?

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.

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

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.

The server at iso.scanfor.scanfor.be is taking too long to respond. iso.scanfor.scanfor.be is an unsecure (http) INTRANET site not publicly acessible (local server). At same time other browsers are perfectly able to access the site! So there is NO connection issue... This problem happens mostly in the morning, and solves itself during the course of the day  :)

Anyone any idea where to look for an issue???
