Firefox, slowing down
 

Is anyone experiencing a slow down of the new version of firefox. Since updating to the new version last week I get periods during the day when everything starts to come to a halt or is very slow and jerky when scrolling.

I have tried clearing the cache and it doesn't make any difference.

Hi Christine, I've had similar problems with firefox, to the extent that I have been clearing my cache, till I'm fed up of doing it and some sites just won't load at all. I don't know whether it is Firefox itself or maybe an incompatible version of Java. I think the next thing to do is to re-install Firefox and see how it goes.

Thanks Alan, its only started doing it this past week since the new upgrade came out.

Hi Christine, I've just tried Safari and don't seem to have a problem compared to Firefox it is like a rocket. I suggest you try Safari and you should be back up to speed.

Hi Both - have you tried this link - it may help

Andy, I have disabled my Anti virus and it didn't make any difference. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it works fine then all of a sudden it goes slow for about an hour then speeds back up again.

Give Safari a try!

Available for Windows now...

I'll agree with Foxy, I tried everything else all to no avail. I finally switched to Safari this afternoon and now we are back up to speed.

What is strange the speed is back to normal now and I haven't reloaded. Could it be the bad weather we are having and its altering the gain or just busy traffic.
