FF loads very slowly

Post by rgh43 »

I have a problem with FF, it takes 20sec to completely load. Now Opera, AVG, Google, Brave & Edge all take about 2sec or less. This has been going on for some time & I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea what the issue is?

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

There was this, Bug 1763703 Extremely slow startup time, but that was fixed with FF 100.
In that case, on particular machines, it had to do with the FF window being in full-screen mode.

Nonetheless, you might have a look at that.
Fire 750, bring back 250.
