Slows down Firefox

Question

Mozilla Firefox

In general, time goes by, and firefox both slowed down and slowed down.
I've been watching since version 3.6.3 and up to now (3.6.12).

After some time of continuous surfing, the browser starts to slow down. Well, that is, every 20–30 seconds it freezes for half a second or a second, and then it continues to work as if nothing had happened. And now I am writing this post, but it slows down. After restarting, the effect disappears for a while.
Already got it to the point. Any ideas?

Do not change browser.

And here's something else:
At first it slowed down here:


And then here:


PS in the ninth, it seems, the donkey saw a feature that shows the speed of the plug-ins, well, like finding the slowest ones and killing them, is there something similar under FF?

Answer 1

Transferring profile folders to a ramdisk solved most of the problems, especially the brakes when typing the address, if the history is large, it picks up instantly.

Answer 2

To begin with, I would recommend installing FlashBlock , because flash videos (especially when there are a lot of them) can incredibly slow down the browser - otherwise it will be possible to launch only those flash drives that you need by clicking on them with the mouse.
In addition, it is appropriate to defragment the disk on which the profile is.

Answer 3

Everyone is dumb. This is a strategy to promote Google Chrome. (do you know who bought mozilla?)

Answer 4

at least give a list of included add-ons and plugins. Try to work with a clean profile.

Answer 5

the same problem, including with an empty profile. on one system out of three. I got worse than bitter radish ... I
'm waiting for 4, as a last hope.

Answer 6

I have the same problem with mozilla.
I have five mozillas open, each with 50 or more tabs.
This eats a lot of RAM (more than 700MB), but if you have 4GB RAM, this is not critical.
After 5-6 hours of work, Mozilla starts to slow down, then hang for 30 seconds, just like the author.
The computer works around the clock (it downloads torrents), and I'm just tired of constantly restarting it.
It also constantly crashes this plugin-container.
Plugins are included only the most necessary ones: Adblock, Download StatusBar, Download Master plugin, Kaspersky Advisor.
Java is disabled. Still doesn't help!
I'm already thinking of switching to chrome, but habit and convenience stop me.
Mozilla updates are the latest, but this does not affect stability in any way.
Help with advice, maybe I missed something in the setup?

If you have a bunch of tabs, try the "savememory" extension, it allows you to "pause" (freeing up memory and percent) tabs that you rarely look at. It helped me (not much, but noticeably (judging by the load indicator of the processor and the activity of the fan)).

Answer 8

Also keep in mind that on some pages there may be debility written excessively active scripts. In addition, if many tabs have flash banners - this can also affect - install and configure AdBlock +
