| thats way too long. once in a while it would do good to uninstall FF completely, remove all the files and re-install it. I telling this coz, i read somewhere,that FF creates temp files which make it slow over a period of time as an alternative, u can try portable FF from here and see if it makes a difference, before reinstalling.

Rep Power: 6  | There is an application called Firefox Preloader that can start Firefox in a second. But it's a little unstable. |

| Platinum Member  | Problem solved: Firefox loads slow Thanks friends. Will try all the options starting with re-install. @F, don't say 'repping' :lol: Sounds kinky. ------------------------------ OK. Before trying out a complete reinstall, I thought I would try to disable the add-on's one by one and check. So I disabled FlashGot first. And viola! After the very first instance it worked. (I guess sometimes Murphy's laws don't hold true. )Now I have completely installed FlashGot and FF loads in 5-10 seconds. It is still slower than IE but acceptable. I read at many places that FF is always a little slower to load because of the add-on's.

Rep Power: 3 | i think if you have multiple tabs saved in the last session then it might take time to load..and have you googled to speed up ff tutorial...it really worked for me and since then i always have some 10 to 12 tabs saved in every session....they load at lighting speed every time i launch ff off topic- guessing by your avatar you are either very elder saggy Pinocchio or a ugly twin brother of Cleopatra |
