I HAD TO REINSTALL MY WINDOWS 10. NOW FIREFOX IS TAKING A LONG TIME, IF AT ALL, TO LOAD LINKS FROM MY EMAIL. FIREFOX IS SET AS THE DEFAULT BROWSER. THERE ARE NO ADD-ONS THAT WOULD BLOCK LINKS

Hi, i'm running a ryzen 5 desktop on Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 with no ssd so it's a little slow to load firefox 152.0.1 (64-bit) after boot. I find that occasionally the tab i am loading timesout, and if i refresh i lose the page. I have a keyboard macro to work around the issue. I lost the code for it, but iirc it works by entering this combo alt-d, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, enter that is to say if I copy the url to the buffer and re-enter it, the page will load, but will not load from the current page.

Although I am using the latest firefox update and have cleared all firefox data and cookies it can take up to 30 minutes for facebook and instagram to load. When I switch to Google Chrome both facebook and instagram load instantly. What might be causing this? Thank you.

Firefox ver 152.01 64 bit on win 11 recently very slow to load tabs, and if on you tube very slow to show pictures of the video's, also in Task manager with two tabs open shows 1,154 MB and in the App's section show 14 Firefox open. If I use Edge they open very fast, and & have now stopped using Firefox for this reason. I have been using Firefox for many years without any problems but now not really usable any more, unless this can be fixed. John

I have no idea what is going on with Mozilla Firefox lately, but ever since the update to add the VPN has happened, (and I DO NOT use it), the response time for accessing any websites has gone into the toilet.

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.

I use Yahoo as my homepage and access it through Mozilla. Normally it loads in mere seconds. Last night and today it is taking extremely long to load and in some cases it has timed out. When it does load, all the pictures and other features are not included and either don't load or load much later.

I tried to load Yahoo from MIcrosoft Edge and it loaded perfectly. I am assuming there is an issue with Mozilla?

Thanks for looking into this matter and letting me know.

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Why does it take up to an hour for apps like facebook or youtube and others to open after firefox updates. What can I do to fix this? I'm very tempted to delete firefox altogether and will if this issue can't be solved.

When I try to download anything Firefox Caps my download speed at 10MB/s Other browsers don't. I tried, Edge, Chrome, Etc... they all give me access to my full Gigabit speed. I've attached 2 screenshots with a SpeedTest comparison.

Firefox: 90mbps Edge: 630mbps
