Web page is slowing down Firefox
 

I get a repeated message (in yellow) that a web page is slowing down my browser and do I want to stop it or wait? No matter how many times I click stop it, the message keeps coming back. It also makes the browser page freeze. HELP! :erm:


PS I have tried clearing the cashe etc.,

Close all tabs. Close the browser. Clear the cache. Reopen the browser and open the tabs you want one-by-one to find out which is causing the problem.

Some websites link to external sites that could be busy... or broken.

Firefox is known to use a lot of system resources.

For example i have just the one tab open being this website and its using 606mb of ram.

Steer clear of Chrome then... it is a RAM hunter..

Can you increase your RAM chips depending on what equipment you have.

Re: Web page is slowing down Firefox
 

You can certainly increase RAM if your hardware supports it.

You can run this scanner to check what is avaiable.
