Hi All

So recently I had some windows issues on my newer laptop and had to resort to going back to my old laptop for the time being. Before using it I restored the system to factory settings and such then reinstalled the newest versions of firefox and such then imported my profiles that I backed up from the new system.

Was working fine for few weeks but the last week or so I have noticed firefox has become sluggish in how it loads websites and such.

I have tried setting up a test profile and that new profile was reacting the same way very sluggish in loading pages.

I have also cleared my browsers cache wondering if that would help.

I have also tested loading pages in Microsoft Edge to see if it was browser or system related and Edge seems to be loading pages just fine so it has to be browser specific.

Any ideas what I should try next to clear this up as the sluggishness is getting old fast!

Thanks

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

If the problem goes away with the computer in Safe Mode, the problem is with one of the other programs on the system.

As a test, disable your protection programs.

not sure why but when I press 5 and select Safemode with Networking it instead loads safemode without networking so could not test

I did I tried multiple times but the thread is sort of irrelevant now as not sure why but things seem to be back to normal sites seem to be loading fine now in Firefox not sure why as I didn't change anything but the pages are loading fine. I know the same sites were always loading fine in Edge so wasn't any sort of network issue I doubt otherwise those browsers should have been having the same issues but things seem to be loading OK now. Not sure why?!?!?

It could have been a corrupt file that was overwritten.
