Windows XP SP2 on a Dell Precision 340, Pentium 4, 2GB RAM, two GeForce MX4000 graphics cards, AVG Internet Security 2014. Broadband connection with download speeds up to about 27Mb/s. I get the same symptoms on a homebuilt system with an almost identical spec.

Internet pages with any graphics at all load very slowly. Reliable websites like BBC News can take at least 30 seconds to open, making Firefox unusable for surfing.

Google Chrome, on the same PC, opens the same pages in about 4 seconds. Firefox running under Ubuntu Studio 9, on the homebuilt PC, is also fine, so I don't think it's my internet connection.

Firefox 30, on Windows 7 64-bit Professional with Norman Endpoint Security, is fine on my work laptop.

What's slowng down Firefox 30 on my Windows XP machines please?

Sorry you are having problems. Thanks for a good descriptive post. There is a testcase; see under; does the globe spin slowly ?

Just a hunch at the moment but maybe the problem described in this thread.

Not engineers have now started to investigate so there may be further news later in the week

There is a testcase as above.
