What's the cache size? (see Options > Advanced > Network)

You have a solution?

more options

It shouldn't be necessary to clear the cache that often.

Does it help if you reload web page(s) and bypass the cache?

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Are you running ant cleanup software that might corrupt the cache?

The reload of pages dont help me. I use avira antivirus and i dont use cleanup softwares. Is very annoying because every time i must to clean the memory cache and after the websites load hard.

ps: i dont have any viruses in my pc. I use to scan avira, mallwares bitts, kaspersky, super anti spyware.

This new version its load very hard, remains a little stuck, consume more resources... Firefox disappoints me.

It's not the truth. Try with a new profile (Windows+R > firefox.exe -P) and check if the issue is still present or not.

It sounds like the cache becomes corrupt, maybe a virus or a software... Is your computer safe? No application trying to defrag the cache?

Honestly I'm running out of ideas, maybe you can try http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=49

I dont know what to say, but i dont want to use chrome. I want mozilla without this problem.

more options

If there are severe problem with the cache integrity then I would still suspect security or cleanup software as the cause.

Does it also happen while Firefox is running and you haven't closed the browser?
Does it happen if you boot Windows in Safe mode with network support (F8 on boot screen)?

more options

No matter if Mozilla is reopened, if you refresh the page - the problem persists. I dont try in safe mode because it's probally than mozilla works great 1 day... I dont thing than avira its the problem...

I forgot to mention that the other browser works fine

I do not know what to say anymore
