Firefox EXTREMELY Slow?

[byalexandr]

Hey guys!

 

So recently I was using Firefox, but I am forced to use IE now (much to my disappointment). The problem is, despite me having a pretty powerful rig (at least compared to others) Firefox is extremely laggy. It takes forever to open a new tab, the web pages are extremely slow loading, and the videos start to stutter. A lot of times it freezes and I have to wait for it in order to keep using it. Here's some stuff to help:

 

-Adblock Plus, Battlelog Web Plugin, the NVIDIA 3D Vision stuff (although it is disabled) for my plugins.

-System Usage is around 5-10% of total CPU power, and it takes up anywhere from 300-600MB of RAM.

 

Now the reason I didn't move to Chrome, which I did try to, is because Google removed support for NPAPI plugins, something that the Battlelog plugin uses (this is so I can play BF3/4/Hardline). I tried to install it, but couldn't, so here I am using IE. Please help me out, this is a nightmare using IE. Thanks in advance.

 

Also, now my screen is flashing black for a split second... Should I reinstall my drivers in GeForce Experience?

In the options menu in advance and in the general tab try disabling "Use hardware acceleration when available".  Might help otherwise you should try the Firefox support, they probably know more about this.

Click on the menu button > Help > Troubleshooting Information.

And click on "Refresh Firefox", this will clean everything up, and start Firefox freshly.

Also, see what plugins you have in the web browser. You probably have a bunch of them. Remove or disable them

Reinstall Firefox, assuming you have synced up your data with Firefox.
