I have used Firefox since it first came out. Up until recently, it's been getting real slow-- the FIRST TIME I EVER HAD A ISSUE WITH FIREFOX! I even switched over to Netscape Navigator and it cleared up the issue (but I don't like it, even though it is the same as Firefox).
Here is an example of what happens:
I'm searching on Google, I load up websites the first few work fine, load fast. After about three or four, they'll get slower. I'll only get the top half the page. From there it gets worse, it won't even load (the URL doesn't show up in the address bar). When it finally does load, images fail to load (they will load, but takes forever).
Now, I go to IE7 *gulp* and it loads instant. The same page that would not load on Firefox loads instantly on IE7.
It has been doing this to me for maybe four weeks. I thought it was my wire, so I recrimped new ends onto my lan cable. I even bridged my wireless connection from my laptop and still had the issue. However, using Netscape Navigator (POWERED BY FIREFOX!) webpages were loading INSTANT. I don't get what's happening. I also tried Safari (yes, I actually like it somewhat), and Opera and they both load with no issues. But I want my Firefox!
I reinstalled Firefox (100% uninstall). It fixed it for about a day but the issue is returning. I couldn't access this page and had to use IE7 to post this.
1.) I don't have spyware. I searched with Spybot.
2.) I'm running Vista Ultimate, and the issue is new-- never had it before until recently.
3.) Can't be a driver issue-- other browsers are fine.
4.) I removed all add-ins from Firefox.
5.) Started with a FRESH brand new profile, same issue-- not a profile/plugin issue.
6.) Fasterfox DOES NOT correct the issue
7.) I restored all manually configured settings in about:config-- issue did go away.
I completely give up-- I'm hoping the new release of 3.0 will fix it, otherwise I'm 100% stumped on what the issue is.
Like I said, I never had a issue with Firefox!
