| [FireFox] FF 3.5 taking forever to load
FF 3.5 takes almost 30 seconds to start cold on a new boot and almost 10 seconds warm.
I have 6 add-ons on a Core2 Quad CPU Q6600, 4 g ram, vista 32, 260 GPU.
The add-ons:
Ad Block Plus
G Mail Notifier
Morning Coffee
Net Video Hunter
Read It Later
Secure Login
The previous version was much quicker.
Any suggestions? |

The only suggestion I have for this kind of issue is a clean install of FireFox. It's often saves me time and frustration verus the alternative. |

I'm having the same issue. A good 10 seconds to load. I've got ABP, RIP and IE tab installed. Cleared out the IE Temporary files and no joy. |

Takes 5-15 seconds to load, clean installs on 2 PC's and a laptop. Very annoying.

Vancouver | Why the uproar over the slow loading times of 3.5. My 3.0.1.1 was no faster than the current 3.5, which is painfully slow to open. |

I have a monster of a computer, waiting almost 25 seconds sometimes for my browser to load is kind of... Stupid? Don't you think?
With another browser I would have found what I was looking for by then and closed the browser.

Folks might be frustrated, but venting "uproars" at fellow users isn't going to solve a thing. Just as bragging about monster computers isn't going to impress many. Darn things start going obsolete the minute you buy them. Although it's interesting that many who aren't having problems don't run monster computers. |

I changed offline caching in about:config to 125mb from 500mb, seems to speed the start up by A LOT.

I didn't notice the browser loading time being a big issue...my problem has been page loading time...dismal. It felt like I was back on dial-up.
I couldn't stand it anymore....I downgraded to 3.0.0.11
What a relief to be rid of that page hang thing, and the non-functioning drop-downs. It was so bad that when I tried to open a tool bar dropdown, I would get only the Windows shadow for a few seconds and then the menu would appear...sometimes. Other times I had to select it repeatedly before it would respond. NOT GOOD FireFox.....
As soon as it replaced 3.5 with the last 3.0 version, everything was back to normal. |

If you have Microsoft Net installed it added an extension (Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant v1.1) to Fx and if you disable or remove that extension it may speed up Fx and reduce crashes.
