Slow Loading on New Tabs

[zlaer]

Hi guys.. I recently refreshed ff. But I notice slow loading times when I open new tabs. Anyway to heal this problem?

After refreshing, did you add extensions?
What security software are you running on that system?

Hi.. I didnt add any extensions.

I'm just running Defender by win 10.

I also have another ff profile with the same extensions and settings and it runs much smoother.

Any ideas?

When you say "new tab", are you speaking of what FF opens as the "New Tab" page, or more generally any new tab opened regardless of the link?

If the former, try setting FF's "New Tab" to about:blank & see if that helps?

I'm speaking about any new tab I open from links. For example, say I'm in a current tab and I click a link to open a new tab. When I go to the new tab whether in 2 secs or 2 minutes later, the page hasnt loaded completely. It then takes 1 - 2 secs to fully load that tab which doesnt happen in my older ff profile.

I dont know what that means.

If you restart in Safe Mode, does the issue persist?
