[FireFox] FF 18 sluggish,.........

....anyone else having any problems?

Surfing is a little slower but the major problem is highliting text and copy/paste............there's a hesitancy of 4 or 5 seconds...bloody annoying.

Disable all your addons-Start in Safe Mode and see how it goes.

Working fine for me.

I am running both XP and Win 7 no problems. Also both were updated with MS patches this morning and ran all day just fine.

Same here, Firefox slows down after long use in windows 8. Sort of like a heavy memory leak or something.

I have been running most of the beta versions of 18 and now the final and I have not observed any excessive memory usage or slowing down at all. Running Windows 8 on two computers and and I have FF 18.0 on both.

Probably post Patch Tuesday slowness, mine was, as well, fine now.

Well I just reinstalled FF17 and all is well.

I didn't install the Flash update or the Microsoft patch yet..........so I'll see if those had any effect tomorrow.

What a PITA though.........FF has the update automatically checked by default,so I had to unplug my modem to get it installed .

Keep us posted, I've never done anything as drastic as rolling back a Browser to a prior build due to issues.

... Good luck...

Ya this was on my XP desktop and my W7 laptop doesn't have a problem,so I'm starting to wonder if it was that Microsoft patch.

Will see later.

Which exact MS Patch are you referring to ?
You might try to FX re-reset, it's worked well for me.

I had some general application sluggishness on WIn7 Pro x64 after installing all those patches yesterday. Ended up rebooting a second time and the computer and apps including Fx v18 were fine.

Just booted into another user and FF updated before I could stop it,but it seems fine now...........so I'm pretty sure it was that patch that I didn't install again.

I've rebooted 5 or 6 times too.

There's definitely something wrong. The bookmark menus are very laggy after updating to 18. Task Manager shows Firefox using 10% of my i7-2600K when just moving around the bookmark folders.
