FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 25, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 25, 2015 Shouldn't that be automatic? When I seen Dougies post I had to go to Help >> About to upgrade. 1 Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest

donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks Dougie. Hope it speeds me up. Firefox has really slowed down lately. IE is OK, but I like FF better. Will get the up date!. Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
DSTM Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks Dougie. Hope it speeds me up. Firefox has really slowed down lately. IE is OK, but I like FF better. Will get the up date!. I have been playing around with Firefox. If I disable AdBlock Plus I can get approx half a second faster load time. I use Ad Muncher as well. You may want to try UBlock instead of AdBlock Plus. Supposed to be lighter and does virtually the same job. I haven't tried UBlock however most reviews say it makes Firefox faster compared to AdBlock Plus. I am going to leave AdBlock Plus disabled and only use Ad Muncher. :) Quote Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 25, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 25, 2015 I just switched from adblock to uBlock and for sure it is faster. More configurable too. I also installed admuncher and I have to say I don't know how I got along without for all this time. 2 Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 My Firefox is really slow compared to IE. Hasn't always been this slow. I will try all your suggestions. I added Admuncher, but FF was slow before I added Admuncher. I may reinstall FF???? Think I'll see if I need to up date FF. It just seems to be slow down loading pages on our forum. Wife says it's fine on her stuff?? Thanks Dougie!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(

Wife says it's fine on her stuff?? Thanks Dougie!! I've had to refresh my install many times. It gets to the point where it just gets so slow it's almost unusable. I'll do a refresh and then sync my addons and settings back to what they were. Firefox will be back to normal for a few months and then I do it again. Try this. Restart Firefox with addons disabled and see if that speeds things up. If it does you'll need a refresh. Be aware that if you do refresh you get a clean install of Firefox and lose all your addons. Use menu >> help >> restart with addons disabled. 2 Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks @AWS . I'll give that a try. If it helps, I'll post back here!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Seems much faster without the ad-ons. Guess I need a refresh! Think I'll Google and see if they have a solution!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi! @AWS Maybe they are listening to us. I just Goggled why is Firefox so slow and got this!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(

FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 25, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 25, 2015 If you have sync turned on when you refresh the install you can then sign in and get all bookmarks, addons and settings back. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I'm thinking about reinstalling FF. I have done all the suggestions. Some times it's OK next time its slow. I only have one Ad-on and that's WOT! Don't want to lose my book marks, so I guess I'll turn on sync. Sure would hate to lose my bookmarks. Quote Some times you're the wind shield.

donetao Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I got my bookmarks saved, so i might try to reinstall FF if it keeps being slow!!;) Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hi I have turned off MBAM Anti Exploite. FF seems faster. I don't know?? Will test some more!! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
donetao Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I think MBAM Anti- Expolite was causing FF slow down. FF is loading normally with MBAE disabled! Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
DSTM Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Well leave it disabled. I don't need MBAE. Good you found the problem, Gary.

donetao Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I think it may still be in BETA. I don't need it either. It sure looks like it was slowing down my FF! Saw some more complaints about it on Google. Quote Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted February 26, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted February 26, 2015 I uninstalled Malwarebytes Anti-Exploits the other day. It was too buggy.
