Mozilla+sloooooooow=god help me....

[-1nf1n1ty-]

My Mozilla is slooooow when I load pages like this, why is that? Is there a way to make it fast? or whats the deal?It use to be fast when loading up Mozilla and loading pages, it might be my ISP but im not sure, or maybe its the cable?

Not sure about this.
Theres a speed add on for Firefox though...

Goto tools and goto the mozilla add ons pages, it should be at the top of the list.
Hope that helps. Im on a school compy atm so im using IE6 with program and network access restrictions...assholes.

Does IE show the same problem? If IE is slow too it probably is a connection issue. If not it is Mozilla.

Also, requests for God should go elsewhere, church or something.

Praise the Lord! Is it dial up?!

This is why you should use IE7 .

How many add-ons do you have enabled?

Use a program called "FireTune" - it uses std. "speedups" noted on Mozilla/FireFox's websites but, automates them for you (saving you time messing about editing manually in about:config etc. et al).

Don't allow scriptings, block banner ads (via HOSTS files, the best way imo, rather than just having a browser not display them for you) & used CACHED images when possible (or, no images @ all, but that's pretty drab/bland) because of what I wrote here:

That stuff all works, and NOT just for security, but also largely for better speed online. Pick & choose what you like from it (for speed @ least).

I have found over time, that loading TOO many extensions in FireFox lags the heck out of it, especially during initial loads (this imo, you can ONLY solve, by loading sets of them, picking & choosing which ones you like best & need most, though... "trial & error" testing!).

Other than that? Possibly .reg hacks to the IP stack in Windows may help, but unless you have access to a T1/OC12 line etc.? You're only going to get up to a theoretical 10mb/sec. limit anyhow... & most ISP/BSP 'cap you off' anyhow to less (5-6mb/sec. typically, & even @ the "fastest" isp's/bsp's).

Good luck, hope some of this helps (if it was not said above already, because it probably has been @ some point).

APK

P.S.=> Not to offend any firefox folks' sensibilities, but, if you want the world's FASTEST webbrowser? Go Opera (especially on Win32 OS')... proof of this? See here:

That's the most current & comprehensive browser speed test comparison I have found to date... you read, you judge... apk

FASTERFOX is sexy... and works very very very well

I experienced that too with firefox and I had really no extensions. usually for me, its bandwidth congestion, from downloading too many torrents and not resetting the network.

Good points man...

Also, in conjunction w/ what you are saying?

Shared bandwidth on your particular network segment with others in your area? That doesn't help either... especially if you have a LOT of "filesharing hogs" on your segment with you!

I used to work for CableVision in 2003, & they did a good thing to "offset" this:

Instead of putting say, 500 users on a 500 user capable switch/router? They invested extra monies, & put only 250 users onto a single switch/router... & yes, it worked, even vs. filesharing hogs!

That year? They were the FASTEST THING GOING online... vs. all other ISP/BSP's out there.

APK

P.S.=> Sometimes, it happens because a particular router is "clogged up" somewhere on the path to your destination online, & traceroutes will help identify this (we had done that here once, when TPU was slow, but a common router many people hit on the way here was showing like 300 pings to it, & it WAS the cause... other sites that rode on it were also slow that day (W1zzard can detail this to you all, he was there analyzing it with myself + others))... apk
