billd766 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 None I am afraid but I do have the same problem and I am interested in the answer. I am on Firefox 27.0.1 and Windows 7 ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MJCM Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2014 Have you guys tried to run Firefox in Safe Mode Click Help , Restart with Add-ons disabled https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Or create a new Firefox profile and try with the new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Have you guys tried to run Firefox in Safe Mode Click Help , Restart with Add-ons disabled https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Or create a new Firefox profile and try with the new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles I just did a Firefox restart in the safe mode and it leapt into life with the add-ons disabled. Now which one or more of those nasty little buggers caused the problems? Edit I have disabled them all and I will try again in the morning.

MJCM Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) ^ it could also be a combination of add-ons. For example my GPS add-on (needed for communication with my GPS and some websites) and my download manager add-on refuse to work together. So because I don't need the GPS add-on that much I just created a separate Firefox profile which will only start that specific add-on, and in the other profiles this add-on is disabled. To create separate profiles, just look at the 2nd link in my original post Sent from my iPad, so please excuse any typos Edited March 4, 2014 by MJCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I got some adverts this morning so I activated Adblock plus and AD block and the ads have now stopped and the speed is just as it used to be.

stickylies Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 ps. i did notice that AVAST causes major issues on some sites. i have AVAST. example, using WETRANSFER (which i use often) is impossible with AVAST now. i mailed WETRANSFER and they say there's nothing they can do and suggested to use another antivirus.
