FF loads tabs slowly since v. 10.0.0 update. v. 10.0.1 and v. 10.0.2 as well as 11b3 and b4 have the same issue.

All of my tabs load slowly. On average I have 6-7 open, two of them are Facebook and Google+ which are both Pinned as Apps. It takes 3-4 minutes to load all tabs, and the browser is basically frozen doing the process.

If I close Facebook and Google+ the tabs do load a lot faster then the 3-4 minutes. But it till takes around 30 seconds to load low requirement websites.

Try to uncheck this setting:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: [] Don’t load tabs until selected

Firefox does not actually reload the tabs when starting. It only opens the various sites in different tabs to confirm that they are still available. TMP prevents tab reload so that you have the same page in front of you as you did when you closed down Firefox, like when twitter updates your timeline, the tweets displayed when I open FF again, are the same as those hours before.

So it is not the reload, TMP disables that function.

Update. It is NoScript which is costing the issue. Not that I have changed anything or configured it in any way. But at least I now know that much.

Now on to finding what function is the actually generating the problem.
