Bing results page elements load horribly slow (pic inside)

[Proteus86]

This picture https://i.imgur.com/yylse7R.png can best describe what I'm trying say. I've highlighted the areas I'm having issues with loading. It just hangs for a good 20-30 seconds per search. This doesn't happen on any of my other browsers.

Any suggestions on how to speed things up?

This was my post copied from Reddit yesterday, no one responded so I figured I'd try here.

Edit: Forgot to add I'm running FF58 on Win10

bing is awful small i you want to point that out. (i dont get the images above) but google is not better.
maybe you need some stylish code to improve
https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/bing
https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/google

eg
https://userstyles.org/styles/115828/fenton-bing

or just a quick shot from me

Code: Select all

@-moz-document domain("www.bing.com") {

#b_context
{
    /*display: none !important;*/
    float: right !important;
    margin-right: 20px !important;
}

#b_results .b_caption p
{
   	width: calc(100vw - 640px) !important;
}

}

Thanks for the response, but this isn't a style issue I'm having, just a performance hiccup with some of Bings page elements. Guess no one knows.

provide some information please (text, not raw)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/us ... ix-firefox

test firefox in safe-mode please:

calling bing.com took some seconds longer, the ui was loaded but the background image not (stupid, none need it). performing a search was smooth, either with or w/o ublock.

Ok, it's not the Bing home page giving me the problem, it's when performing search's, especially when clicking the news articles on the bottom of Bing.com.

I have tested in safe-mode and it's still pretty much the same.

I only have about 7 extensions installed:

1. uBlock Origin
2. Reddit Enhancement Suite
3. Imagus
4. Viewhance
5. Notifier for GMail
6. Bitwarden
7. Gesturefy

I went through the process of disabling each one and disabling all of them as well, and nothing really changes.

maybe a combination of all. last option is a fresh profile (hwa is affected in safe-mode)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1075185

create a new profile

or
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

i did this minute, bing was faster than my used profile. but i still have one problem - i dont get your image line. this may be a result because i am no user of bing (thus i can not login)
but on the main page (no search) i get a bottom news line with images and those are scrolling smooth without timeout.

if a fresh (without login to bing) profile dont change experience then is caused by system, maybe a security software scanning, maybe ssl scanning.

to test that out you need to start windows in safe-mode with network (msconfig.exe). if this condition wont change anything its on the hardware, either router (in most cases not) or provider itself (there is nothing you can do).

this method reduces the impacts on firefox. let us know about the results please and ask if situation is not clear. btw you wont lose anything, not firefox, not profile, not windows.

Yea...I tried all that and it's still the same. It's gotta be the browsers engine and how it loads certain things, I can't think of anything else. My other browsers (Opera and Yandex) both have no issues and I believe those are Chromium based.

This is just really annoying. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

i dont think its firefox because then there must be more complaints, in special bing, but there are not.
