Firefox makes internet feel slugish

Firefox for whatever reason loads everything really really slow at random times. At first i thought it was my internet connection but I tried out IE and Chrome and it runs just fine. Just to clarify, I'm talking about firefox's speed at loading pages and programs on pages, not it's high RAM bug that makes it freeze.

Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Safe mode helped, so I assume the issue was with my addons? If so I'll just enable/disable them till i find the problem.
