Since the last upgrade Firefox is running very slowly. Many sites that I use daily either take so long to open or don't open at all. I have to open MS EDGE which opens up these sites within microseconds.

I prefer using Mozilla, but unfortunately looks like I may have to move as Firefox is now almost useless for me.

Can anyone suggest anything I could try.

thanks

151.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 64 bit, both up to date. With the 5 extensions that I have firefox is essentially unusable, taking in excess of 5 minutes to open a website. Considering the array of browsers available today (I could list 12 that are also installed on my device) and Mozilla seem to be hell bent on ignoring the fact that the browser is unusable with extensions (as indicated by the number of people highlighting issues, yet solution provided as opening the browser in safe mode with extensions disabled) why I, or anyone else that is using even one extension, persists with FF?

Well, the 7 minutes has passed and duckduckgo dot com has finally opened, so I shall be on my merry, strike that, miserable way.

I use both Firefox and Chrome with 2 separate EBay accounts so I don't to keep switching logins.

Firefox is very SLOW TO LOAD my EBay pages (like 10-15seconds). Chrome is almost instant.

Can you try and load an EBay page logged in as a seller and see WHY there is such a lag in loading.

I'm using a state of the art Win 11 Alienware machine on a 1 Gig internet. I've tried switching which account I log into and it's the same. So it's NOT the computer, the internet connection or the individual account.

Thanks!

the app just asked me if i my experience was good and this is where the link brought me. The firefox mobile app on android is performing teribly over last few updates. websites take 1000x times longer to load some elements. it feels like the cache gets full after loading 10 images. youtube videos take nearly 30 seconds to load on gigabit internet. marketplaces just wont load images. it gets stuck buffereing images and videos. the easiest fix is to switch browsers which completely eliminates issues. this is happening on multiple android devices. either the code for this app is ruined or compromized. the problem is not on my linux or mac devices. I really have loved firefox up to this point, and its sad that after 1 month of questionable management the browser is starting to break down. i am now forced to switch just so i can use the internet. also side not if there was ever a way to get themes on mobile browser that would be nice.

When trying to log on websites, I have to way a very long time for the website to open up. Many times, it will time out and I have to try again. I thought it was my internet connection, but when I go to a different browser like Chrome or Edge, the websites open up right away. How can I fix this problem?

Ever since the last update or two when I click on links to open websites, it renders a white screen and I see waiting at the bottom. It takes forever for websites to open. I have toggled acceleration on and off, disabled Windows 11 Efficiency Mode and nothing is working. I am a web developer and I really need websites to open. They open quickly in Chrome but not Firefox after the update and I may need to start using Chrome.

I have been user of Firefox for many years now, always setting up as default browser and in early times even uninstalling Edge, but within the last year i see more and more websites getting sluggish in firefox, Sites that dont fihish to load, blank pages, opening links taking long time. Facebook, ebay, amazon and many online stores are getting worse by the day

At the same time i open Edge and it fly, no sluggish nor blank pages, no delays

I dont like edge, i am not interested in using it

Is there a bunch of settings i can tweak to make Firefox more fluid in those websites?

Thank you Frank

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that Firefox for Android has become noticeably slower when loading certain websites, while the same pages open quickly in other mobile browsers.

I've already tried:

Clearing the cache Restarting the app Updating Firefox to the latest version

The issue still occurs on both Wi-Fi and mobile data.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Are there any settings or troubleshooting steps I should try to improve browsing performance on Firefox for Android?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I find that my desktop browser firefox is very slow or doesn't work at all on a lot of websites like amazon or fortnine.

My internet connection and computer are not the issue: 270Mbps (wired connection) Processor AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16 GB) Storage 3.58 TB of 10.92 TB used System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor (Windows 11)

My old PC and my mobile phone runs these website fine.

Sometimes the website will work for a moment, but stop and just load for ever after I open a new tab or clink a link. My task manager doesn't show any ethernet usage despite the tabs indicating they are trying to load. Refreshing the tabs does nothing and no matter how long I leave them they don't load. All my drivers, OS and programs are up to date. I have disabled my enhanced tracking protection and I don't have any adblockers. I have tried using the CMD "ipconfig -renew" and using ccleaner to clear out my cookies and cache but, nothing seems to have any lasting effect.

I am losing my mind trying to fix this. Why can I not browse the internet on my PC?

Any help on this would be amazing and much appreciated.

Sincerely, Calvin

Duck duck search via Firefox has become painfully slow, although if Google search is used the speed is OK. I have cleared caches, cookies etc without any improvement. Firefox 148.0.2, Windows10. Is this a recognised current problem?
