Hi there,

I am having a bad week with FireFox. Over the weekend had problems and was helped here, the problem when away and everything looked great in the FireFox Garden. The Problem was, Flash not working on the browser. Each time I downloaded it, video would come up on web pages, but when I closed FireFox and reopened it, videos would not work again.

OK on to the new problem.... Web pages take ages to come up, in all the other major browsers, web pages come up in seconds, in FireFox it is taking over two minutes (yes that is right) I have even timed it.

The website I used for the time test was www.bbc.co.uk

Firefox 10.0.1 Time 00:00:20:02 Chrome 18.0.125.33 Time 00:00:02:45 IE (Yuck) 9.0.8112.16421 Time 00:00:02:49 Safari 5.1.1(7534.51.22) Time 00:00:01:59 Opera 11.60 Time 00:00:02:31

So what is going on, way so slow?

So far today, I have removed FireFox from the computer completely including in the Regedit and also removed all addons etc. but it is still running slow. Cam some one help please.

Thank you

Jaki
