I’m not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I’ve sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.
Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I’ve had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I’ve been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still ‘loading’ a blank white page.
I just don’t understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it’s been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.
P.S. In the time I’ve taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash… (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)
/edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.
Yes, it feels sluggish and sometimes loads pages forever. No idea why, everything else works fine. Oh and the firefox notifications block interaction which is solidly insane
Been using Fenix since it was Firefox Preview, never noticed any sluggishness. It’s faster than Brave for everything other than colds-starting PWAs.
Too many extensions?
The problem with notifications is mad, tho.
No idea, the slowness is random. But dark reader was making it worse. Now it’s ublock only I think
