Firefox Running Very Slow.

Recently (Yesterday) my firefox browser began running very very slow, I don't mean slow as in taking up too much memory, it runs slow as if my internet speed has suddenly dropped to 56k, some pages won't even load...
Yet internet explorer still works perfectly with my internet connection and pages load instantly as firefox used to do so before.

I tried a system restore to a few days ago when firefox worked perfectly, yet to no avail, is there anything that anyone can suggest to help out? I'm pretty much stuck and open to any suggestions, browsing the internet just isn't the same without firefox :tongue: :tongue:

Thanks

 

Yea my fire fox is running reallllly slow. Can someone help?

 

Have you tried deleting cookies and clearing your caches?

That sometimes helps me.

 

And try this:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

i done it one my one, and it does have a notice-able difference.

Merged Post:

BTW, only for broadband users!!!

 

Thanks for that, I did it and it makes it much faster, it didn't fix the problem but now its much better, thanks!

 

Always welcome.

 

Code:

Here is the tutorial by which you can make your Internet Browsing faster using Firefox. You can also download the plug-in named Faster fox. (But I personally suggest you do this)

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
* network.http.pipelining
* network.http.proxy.pipelining
* network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows: (by double clicking them)
* Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
* Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
* Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. (I changed mine to 100, works great.)
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Enjoy!

Edit: Ahh looks like I am late
