Re: [FireFox] Slow page loading (sometimes)

Both those pages worth of images load moderately fast for me but still take time. You are looking at some good sized images so I am not surprised about that.

Do you have your Fx browser set to resize images or not? That will also effect the rendering speed.

Type about:config in your address bar (Enter)

Filter to: browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing

Double-click the value to change it to true

Now go back and see if your pages with images loads faster. They should. If you do not mind Fx resizing the images leave that setting at true or change it back.

Glad you like the tweaks.

IMO the rendering taking a bit of time is due to the quantity of images on those pages and the size of the images. -- "The little things are infinitely the most important."

Re: [FireFox] Slow page loading (sometimes)

On the pages I visited before, they loaded quickly. I tried it on one of the older threads. It took a long time to load and 4 or 5 of the images never did load (just the "click here" text showed) even though the bar on top indicated the page loaded completely.

This also does it on long text only pages.

Have you tweaked your Internet Connection itself not just the browser? -- "The little things are infinitely the most important."

CCat Purrplexity Premium join:2005-12-06 Wonderland	Re: [FireFox] Slow page loading (sometimes) Yes I tried safe mode, no difference. Running Vista, nothing to tweak.

Flush DNS, Clear Cache, There are always connections to tweak even in Vista no matter what MS wants us to believe. »www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2574 -- "The little things are infinitely the most important."
