Firefox seems to be accessing various ad services before it opens web pages, slowing down the process to an annoying level. How can I stop this from happening and speed up the page loading experience?

Thank you Pkshadow. After a few days of deleting cookies and clearing the cache, it seems to be a lot faster. I do use Norton Safe Search, and never click on unkown links, so do not think I have any malware. However, will keep your instructions in case.

Hi, suggest deleting cache and cookies as something maybe corrupted there and is calling home too many times for maybe a moved address. also a scan to eliminate malware as a issue : Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :

Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :

Post in only 1 forum, then wait.

Then please do this : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

TEST''''is issue still there ?

fyi : Norton Safe Search is also in Norton Safe Web
