Mozilla Firefox slow loading Web
Hello,
After my ISP had a routine maintenance on 2nd of feb this year, I've been experiencing slow web load. First, I thought it was my ISP, but 5 almost 5 days are passed, and it's still slow. Checked Speedtest, ping is over 200 ms, download & upload speed are normal. I switched back to Chrome to see if the problem is the same, but Chrome is uber fast, 18 ping.
Tried to delete cache, cookies etc, still the same. Any help?! Thanks!

All parts, images, sometimes CSS is broken. I used Ctrl+F5, even more loading time.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
I did that too. Doesn't work for me.
We tried everything, so I'm thankful to you all here. If I solve the problem in meanwhile, I will post again.
Hey guys. Long time since I posted. I think I found a "problem". It's still slow, but when I run Firefox as Administrator, it's normal. No slow browsing...
Hello,
I also have this issue with FF lately - loading some web sites in private mode (to have a 'clean cache') will make FF somehow stalled. I found out one of the add on (Skype click to call) might caused this since the problem solved after I disabled the add on.
Thanks,

I experienced this issue in FireFox 29 on 64-bit Linux.
Talk of resets, flash, realplayer, etc are not the solution.
For me, following the steps here were the solution: http://wikimatze.de/making-firefox-as-fast-as-chrome/
Most specifically: I stick around the Internet and found the about:config setting in Firefox (it’s nearly the same when you call the chrome://settings/ URL in Chrome but has more options). This is the place where you can change security, stability, and performance. That what I was searching for and this is the place you can’t find in the normal graphical settings of Firefox. There you can see a list preferences names with either string, integer, or boolean values. Than I stumbled upon the network.dns.disableIPv6 option. There is an error in IPv6-capable DNS servers where an IPv4 address is returned although an IPv6 was requested. Firefox can recover from this error but due to lack of performance. So my solution was to setting this option to true.
Firefox used to be fast, now it's slow. Why can't the developers understand that? It's not our fault, or our ISPs, or our plugins, or our computers. It's the Firefox engine. What is it doing now that it didn't do 4 months ago? If this isn't sorted soon everyone will dump it for Google Chrome (spit).
