Why does it take Firefox so long to load after an update? sometimes it will take upwards of 20 minutes. ON some occasions I have to close the browser and start it numerous times!

This isn't a question but rather a response to the latest iteration of Firefox. Whatever your team did in this new install has made a dramatic difference in response time. I notice it most when signing in to my Yahoo email account, the delay time is down to 2 seconds between hitting Enter and the change. This is terrific since it previously took 20-30 seconds to happen. Thanks very much for your work, folks.

updated to latest firefox 136.0.1 today and several web pages will not load on first attempt. yahoo.com, google along others indicate that page is preventing this site from loading. I have not encountered any issue with Chrome. Have not encountered this issue with firefox previously but very frustrated user. I any attempted to start firefox in debug mode without any extensions or tools and firefox still encountered the same issue. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

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

some times the Youtube video's won't load i thought that it's my network glitch but my network is good only in this browser the videos won't load sometimes and some website's like amazon also won't load some times it keeps on loading but nothing will be loaded . i need to restart the whole browser to make it work please fix it Zen browser .

WTF IS WRONG WITH MOZILLA?

So, I'm browsing a website (shopping), going back and forth through its menus/categories and also opening tabs in the background, then every few minutes the whole browser goes blank/grey and the tabs "dead"... they're not closed just blank and I cannot go backwards or refresh... I have to close the tab and reopen it from history...

Did I explain this clearly? I've been putting up with this for 2 weeks, but now I've had it... I'm staring at a blank tab I cannot revive - refresh or back button don't work, AND another tab which is displaying a "Loading wheel" and also frozen...

I've only recently started using Firefox (I use 2 other browsers above this - each with a distinct purpose, and also started giving-in to Edge as a 4th, despite being opposed to everything Microsoft for 20y).

If I continue to experience this in the next couple of weeks, bye bye Mozilla...

Hello! I am working on a brand new computer (i7 14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5) with a brand new install of Firefox and sometimes it just won't load certain pages without me stopping it, refreshing, and then (most of the time) it all pops in. Browsing the web works perfectly in Edge, but in Firefox it has been a struggle. Some sites, like Discord, load VERY slowly and most of the time I need to force a refresh via shift and hitting refresh. Discord will take so long to load any image that I see it as a colorful blur before the photo fully loads in for view.

I'm running the most recent version of Windows 11, Firefox v137.0.1 (also had this issue with v137).

I have tried things in Troubleshoot Mode and didn't make a difference. I uninstalled Firefox, removed the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder, and reinstalled but no change. What I haven't tried is Refresh Firefox, but that's because since Troubleshoot Mode didn't make a difference it's a bit hard to imagine Refresh Firefox will -- but if people think it's worth trying I certainly will give it a go!

I've been a FF user for as long as I can remember and I really don't want to give it up so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on here because I am currently at a loss and it's a big bummer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

There is a gap between firefox and the frame of the window. There is also a inconsistency at the bottom of the browser where it meets the window. Issue persists in safe-mode and all other firefox channels. Albeit, there is no gap or issue with firefox ESR.

Hello Mozilla Community,

I’m currently using Firefox for my web design projects and facing some performance issues when testing websites built with modern frameworks. As a developer at DE IT SOLUTION where we provide website design and development services, I rely on Firefox for testing due to its robust developer tools.

However, I’ve noticed:

Firefox becomes slow when handling multiple tabs with live previews. Developer Tools sometimes lag during real-time CSS adjustments. I would love advice on:

Best practices for optimizing Firefox for web development. Recommended extensions that won’t slow down the browser. Tweaks for faster rendering of web pages during testing. I’ve explored Mozilla’s tips but would appreciate insights from this expert community. Also, if you’re interested in how UX/UI impacts web performance, you might enjoy this article from my experience: Why UX/UI Design Matters in Web Development (Sharing for learning purposes).

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Am not being hyperbole but I swear to God I love Firefox more than anything. Okay, let's get to the main topic. I have a problem with Firefox on my pc, whenever I open Firefox one of my CPU thread is dying and its causes brutally lags. I know I have a potato rig but at least fix this browser as smooth as before. After I having a problem with dying threads whenever I open a tab and going to a website I desire it took so long isgt. I thought my pc was the problem one and I think "Ah I should upgrade my pc, but I still in debt" and it turns out the Firefox was the main problem.

Please Firefox fix this for me, don't suffer me more. I'm migrating to Chrome for a while cuz the Chrome didn't kill my CPU thread (I tested it for almost 2 weeks).

I attached you images from time to time, hope you could understand it! ;)

my firefox is taking forever to load any type of page, and in addiition the thunderbird is also slow. I re-downloaded mozilla, but it is still downloading so skow. just last two days, and when I say slow like 2 minutes to open a page. HELP

Hi, I'm having some issues with Firefox. I'm opening a website (which I usually visit) even slower than with Tor at the same time. I'd love to know why and how to fix it.

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?

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?

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?
