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.

Re: Firefox browsing slow
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.

Re: Firefox browsing slow
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.
Regards.

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.

Re: Firefox browsing slow
