    firefox slow on loading pages compared to chrome?

    anyone ever have this going on for them?

    chrome is my main browser but i need to use firefox for tracking/cookie purposes as chrome doesn't seem to enjoy registering my shit properly.

    however, pretty much everything i use firefox for seems to be slow and laggy as hell, and things seem as if they want to load one by one on the page.

    help? thanks

    Been using firefox 64bit and chrome 64bit, seem s pretty much the same to me (although chrome seems to really hate some stuff powered via java)

    Do you have any extensions enabled for firefox? I know some pages for me don't load proper because of all the privacy shit I run in chrome, but all work fine in firefox.

    IE is much better than FF these days - have you serious tried using IE lately?

    this i have not and i don't expect that i will but i'll take a look.

    also yeah i actually removed some extensions and it seemed to help out a lot. not as fast as chrome still for me but there are a couple extensions i just cannot go without.

    btw just tried IE, it's a lot faster for my needs. since i probably only need to stick to a couple sites that i believe are safe anyway it should be pretty useful. thanks.

    You can also block ads in IE using a tracking protection list: http://www.fanboy.co.nz/ie.html Works better than using an adblock addon for IE, in case you needed to block some ads.

    Version 26 of firefox still seems to be working nice and fast. <.<; (Even with 100+ tabs split between multiple windows.) The only things that load slow for me are things like forum pages with a bunch of youtubes embedded. Although that may or may not be related to me having not installed flash.
