Just refreshed Firefox!

[donetao]

Hi ! It seemed to me that forums were slow to load. I refreshed Firefox and loading forums seems faster now. Does anyone here think that's a possibility?? Always trying to learn and pass it forward!!
Thank you!

I don't know, Gary. I only use Internet Explorer but I haven't noticed any issues with the pages being slow to load.

It's possible. I have refreshed it, created a new profile and many other things. It speeds things up for a while and then it slows down again.

I am going to IE11 more and more. It just works all the time.

I'll give IE11 a try!!

Anyone see a problem here??

I run a whole lot more addons so with the amount you have you should have no problems. I don't see any problems.

Do a test. Open task manager, start firefox and watch the firefox.exe process. If the memory consumption increases while are using it to browse then you have a problem.

It sure is a memory hog

It looks fine to me, Gary.

Watch it as you use it. That is a little high for just starting it. It should be below 100K.

OK I didn't follow your directions. It is below 100K when starting.
Thanks @AWS

Hi IE11 loads a lot faster than Firefox.

 

[allheart55 (Cindy E)]

I think so too. I've tried Firefox many times over the years but I always go back to IE.

Thanks Cindy! I just down loaded Ad Muncher. Where do I find it on my PC. Don't see it in Ad-Ons
PS The font is much brighter with IE. Nothing is grayed out. That's always good!

It's in your downloads folder. IE send everything there.

You can also see it after it's installed by clicking on Start and All programs.
Also you should see the icon in the bottom right hand side of your desktop.

See screenshots....

Hi! I found it with search Everything. I love that program!

 

[donetao]

Yuppers sure enough! It's there! Doesn't show up Start All Programs however!! Does show up in system tray!
Thanks everyone !

Firefox has always started slower than the others the first time....that is nothing new however once open it will blow the others away.
I really think any of you that have had issues with FF should try Pale Moon. Pete put me on to it over a year ago and I think it has way more stability than FF. The only issue I ever had was reading pdfs and that was "pilot error" so now I am back to it. One thing I love about Chrome I wish I could figure out how to do with FF is Chrome loads downloads to the bottom of the browser as well as whatever folder you like and that saves a step with many tasks.

Firefox has a button you can add in the navigation, I have mine next to the home button, that gives you quick access to downloads.

Internet Explorer 11 also adds downloads to the bottom of the browser for quick access.
