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, 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.

I rely on Firefox entirely for my business. I'm really concerned that Firefox is become choked up - it is really slow to load pages. Am desperate to get it cleaned up ('serviced' so to speak) but am finding it difficult to get simple instructions to do this myself. Where can I get expert help?

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

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!

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.
