Firefox newest update SUCKS!!!...

[one_voice]

pages take forever to load. I've tried the firefox reset and it doesn't help.

I love firefox but if they can't correct this, I'll have to use something else.

Anyone else having this problem?


edited: seems to be working ok for the moment. fingers crossed that the last reset helped.

second edit: nope not helping.

1. I deleted a lot of my cookies and cleared my cache. Seemed to help. n/t

2. I did that...

didn't help. I hate that Firefox doesn't ask if you want the update it just does it. The last few have all had issues, but this one is the worst. The pages take forever to load. It's driving me crazy.

3. You should be able to set set your update preferences. Mine always asks if I want to update. n/t

5. Go to Preferences-->Advanced-->Update

Select "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them."

7. If you go to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/download-and-install

and select your OS, you can download the previous couple of versions.

4. Firefox 21.0 is often very slow to finish loading a page.

I'm glad I saved the install for 18.x

The previous versions are available from Mozilla, I believe.

8. That's the one I have--21.0...

I'm going to see if I can download an older version.

11. Aha! So that is the reason!

I have been trying to watch a show on Hulu and it takes forever. I usually just give up. Firefox is to blame!

12. It could also be a slow Internet connection.

And, it could depend on the web pages you visit. I have the same problem whether I use Firefox 21 of Chrome. It doesn't matter if I use the old desktop or the new laptop. Chrome is a little faster, but on certain web pages, it's choppy and extremely frustrating regardless of which browser I use. YouTube is okay, usually. But, video on many other pages is excessively slow.

13. Same problem here...

I tried all that stuff too and even did a restore to no avail. I even put new batteries in my mouse but it still acts constipated. I need a Firefox Ex-Lax.
