............has my Firefox started running so slowly ?
It is taking between 30 & 40 seconds to load a page. I know Firefox uses a lot of RAM, but this is getting crazy. It just seems to stop when loading a page and i get the dreaded (Not Responding) at the top of the page.
I have no clue whats causing, it. I have tried cleaning old files etc... out (but i do that every day anyway), but no effect. There is plenty of room on my hard drive and i have nothing else running.
The WORSE thing is that I.E. is fast as hell, when i just run it.
Its just Firefox, when ever i run anything else this system is fast as anything.
Anyone any ideas why it is on go slow ???

in fact, ive got no idea why this may happen, except firefox being damaged in certain way (probably by using it too frequently, it simply wants to retire in honour), but obviously there are no system- or hardware-problems on your CPU (why should IE run that quickly if you had some...) and as it seems to be a firefox-problem i would recommend to deinstall and reinstall, maybe even an older version of firefox.

MadMonkey: If you have a lot of add on's, it could be one of those that is causing problems. Maybe even disabling a few and testing/playing to see if having certain ones disabled will help the speed

coan.net: I thought about that, but i have changed nothing lately. What makes it funnier (or worse to try and sort) is today it is as fast as ever, yet i have altered nothing.
Process of elimination says that it may be something one of the Add-ons is getting hooked up on OR something else is taking up the RAM that Firefox needs, but when i look at all the running processes there is nothing and Firefox has all it should need.
So whats the problem lol
