my MOZILLA FIREFOX is slow on launch!

my MOZILLA FIREFOX is slow! how about yours? hmm. probably it was caused by my add-ons. i got too many but sure they are useful to me. other browser start fast when launching. no prob on browsing btw. tehihi

any work we have?

 

What do you mean by slow? Two second startup? 30 seconds? Is this a new install? An upgrade?

 

me too ... recent upgrade with 4 plugin: colorzilla, firebug, downthemall and search status ...
it minute to load, always hang and ram eater (now 7 tab, 390mb).
any solution ....

 

go through this post

the answer is there.......

 

Still not enough info. Upgrade to what version? How fast was it before? How much ram before?

 

have u done something to your ff? any new add ons that u just installed that might cause this? try disable some old add on

 

It could be that you have too many add-ons, try disabling the one's you don't need.

 

Well, mine is working super fast.
No problems at all.

To be honest, FF is not the fastest browser on my computer.
It loads slow sometimes, especially when using hotmal . ( I think I can understand it. )

 

My MF works slowly with many sites too.

 

Me too experience the same situation, if i open the firefox for the first time for that particular session, it was always slow to appear or open but after that the second and subsequent browsers open faster... i thought it was a common occurence, anyone, in fact i dont have any add-ons in my firefox...

 

previous 3.X.X now 3.5 ...
ram 1 gb, window xp pro.
Plugin for FF :
Firebug,
Colorzilla.
Quick search status.
down them all.

start up around 1 minute to 2 minute.
ram usage for 5 tab 150mb. (start up)
after a hour or two, it become double up.
three four hour later it turn out 500- 700 mb.

 

Well, right now I am also getting an error.

I was downloading something and getting download speed of around 5KB/s in Firefox. WHile the same thing got downloaded with speed of 30KB/s in Internet Explorer.

what os u using?

 

Try this. Under Tools->Clear Private Data, check all those boxes and clear that stuff out.
Then, clear out your temporary folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\My Recent Documents
C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Temp\

Normally I would say this is everybody's solution to everything but this might be a real fix. Under Vista, it would be c:\Users\ etc.

If this solves the problem, it's actually a Windows issue that Firefox does not handle well but most people won't see the problem.

 

humm... read your post, running in the compatibility mode will perhaps speed it up, but what are the side effects. will it cease certain features, or some plugins won't launch? what exactly are on the negatives...

 

Follow these cool tips to speed up your start up of Firefox 3.5.

 

I use Firefox 3.5 and it takes around 25 seconds for start-up

 

i prefer you to scan firefox folder in program files.

 

I also experienced the same... But when I downloaded Mozilla Firefox version 3.5, it became fast.. Try upgrading your version to 3.5.. It rocks!!
