Everything loading slow on Firefox, Please help!

[Fred87nc]

I have my online job ChaCha and spend countless hours searching stuff. Firefox is taking forever to load, even google, it won't load it. It just starts doing this randomly. Some sites don't want to load while others do, then at times nothing wants to load.

It isn't my internet because Safari loads at the same time in a second. Unfortunately I can't use Safari with ChaCha. So any help please, Firefox worked just fine in the beginning. Link to stable version? I my try reinstalling.

Try creating a new user profile for Firefox and see if it works better.

The latest (supposedly stable) version of Firefox can be downloaded over att Mozilla's.

Your post and the job you do suggests to me that you have a very cluttered browser cache. Use a utility like Onyx to give your MacOS a good clean.

If you don't wish to do that, use FFox's own cache cleaning facility, then set a limit to how big the cache file becomes in future. Go to FFox > Prefs > Advanced > Network > Cache > Clear Now; and then set the size you'll allow.
[I use 20 Mb only, so the cache gets automatically cleaned regularly.]

Another thing you might do is to clear the cookies cache of all the unnecessary ones, and then set FFox to ask you every time a cookie is to be set. A slight inconvenience only. Most cookies are ads and banners anyway.
