Oh boy ... I am nearly at the end ... my whits end I love Firefox and have been a long user but these last few months it has become unuseable .. a page taking several minutes to load.. just nuts time .. a lot of sites I can't log in as the time has been too long. I have checked the internet speed, used the laptop elsewhere, done the refresh trick, run in safe mode, removed my profile ... and sometimes it works ... for a while then back. I did have a terminal running which showed an error ... missing a semi colon on 3rd line of dictionary which I have had disabled although I can't find it to remove it ... just don't know what else to do now except move off Firefox . I'm using vers 41.0.1 on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.10.5

Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.
