I have done thorough testing with other browsers, drivers for my headset, reinstallations and the common issue is the new firefox. when I change from my desktop speakers to my headset there has always been a slight delay in the crossover. however since the most recent update Firefox has made, Youtube shorts and videos dont load properly. this is only when using my headset. when you go to shorts, and scroll it will play them one after the next with no load time or at least very little. now however, it takes 10-15 seconds to load, but ONLY when i am using my wireless headset. Corsair Void Wireless Headset. I have done everything on my end, and after countless tests with other browsers it is only Firefox and has only starteed since the most recently update.

I sometimes notice that pages take longer to load in Firefox, even when my internet connection seems to be working normally. The issue does not happen on every website, so I’m trying to understand how to identify whether the cause is Firefox itself, an extension, cached data, DNS, or the website/server.

What Firefox settings or troubleshooting steps should I check first to determine what is causing the slow loading?

I have already tried refreshing the pages and checking the connection, but I would like to follow a more systematic troubleshooting process.

Other browsers seem to be working fine, so it's not an issue with Youtube. Videos that previously loaded in fractions of a second, and previews that played instantly, all now take several seconds to, sometimes 10+ seconds to load. Even page elements take forever to load. The only difference from two days ago, is that Firefox got a new update, as far as I can tell. So what happened? Is there a fix?

Since I updated to version 157.0, my YouTube is performing extremely slow. I haven's changed any settings since the update. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am currently in Dubai, UAE, and I am experiencing extremely slow speeds on YouTube when using the Firefox browser with a VPN.

Everything was working fine about two hours ago, but suddenly the speed dropped so much that I can no longer watch videos. Even when they do load, they start buffering after only a minute.

i get to NETFLIX home page, but then wait up to 30 seconds before it activates. little messages at the bottom flash by, the first one: "Read help.nflxext.com" then there's something about "transferring from..." this began a week or so ago. i have the latest firefox update. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR using SAFARI. thanks.

What’s going on with Firefox? Lately, I keep getting hit with reCAPTCHA over and over again, and YouTube is lagging badly. I reinstalled Firefox, deleted everything (cookies, etc.), cleaned up my PC, and reinstalled everything—yet YouTube still lags. I’ve noticed it’s always worse in the morning than in the evening. I tried using other browsers, and YouTube lags there too. What’s happening with YouTube and Firefox? Did something change? Are there conflicts between old and new cookies? Something other change ?

Hello, Seems that after the last update when I go to some websites at times the tab thinks its still loading until I stop it. This is happening on both of my Macbook Pros which are about 6 yrs apart age wise. I kept thinking it would stop doing this but that hasn't happened. Secondary browsers work fine. Open to suggestions. Also some AI usage trackers slowly stopped working but I can't image that's related. Thanks

I know Firefox is slow when opening Facebook. It's busy blocking all their crap. But recently it's been super slow and non-connective to many sites I visit often. I've Ookla checked my connectivity and their excellent. Logging into sites I've visited before is now taking a long time some having to be resent. IE: www.clevelandclinic.org, local government sites etc.

Hello, I am having a problem with Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10.

Firefox sometimes keeps loading continuously and some websites do not open properly or take a very long time to load. My internet connection is working normally, and the same websites may work better in another browser.

I have tried closing and reopening Firefox, restarting my computer, and refreshing the website, but the problem still happens.

Please help me check what may be causing this problem and how I can repair or reset Firefox without losing my bookmarks, passwords, and important data.

Thank you.

Hi! I have been using Firefox for quite some time, and as of yesterday I have encountered a problem. Any site I try to watch video on, be it Twitch, Youtube, etc., the videos now pause every 1-2 seconds to buffer for 4-5 seconds. The progress bar at the bottom of the Youtube videos will say they are loaded well passed the point its stopping to "buffer" at, and this is only occurring on Firefox, I have tested other browsers and am not encountering this issue. Troubleshoot mode also doesn't change anything, and neither does private browsing.

Recently the New York Times web site has slowed to a crawl on Firefox. Other web sites load quickly. The New York Times web site loads quickly on Chrome. This is the case on both a desktop and a laptop. I am running Firefox version 153.0 on Windows 11 on a PC. What could be the problem, and what might be the fix?
