Firefox browsing slow
 

Hiya all noticing with my firefox 1.06 well latest one with no mod's only a offical theme, that images websites randomly keep loading up very slow.

Things as this site lagging like hell to load or not at all just a white screen, the BBC one doing same.

Now If I close them all and try again it is fine until it just starts up again.

I have cleared cookies etc but no avail.

I'm using FF no problem, i'm on Manchester.11 proxy if that makes a difference.

Is it any better in IE (yuck!)

Worth trying IE to see if it's any faster, then you'll know if it's FireFox or something else.

hi

The good thing about firefox, and browsers in general, is that you can tweak them. Try this thread on the firefox forums, it speeded mine up a substancial amount.

There's lots to read, but its very beneficial and informative.

No ammount of tweaking will resolve some issues though, I'm tweaked but I get the blank page lag problem now and then on some sites. Just wondering if it's an extension causing an issue while loading information.

probably down to the ntl poxy servers then lol I had problems like you describe when I was with ntl. Recently went round to a friends house in manchester, and put him on a huddersfield proxy, and voila!

Regards.

That sounds just like the problem I am having Paul.
