    How long does it take you people to load firefox?


    It's taking ages to load, about...15 seconds just for the window to pop up when I click on the short cut, I'm using the latest...and this has been happening since I was on vista (I've moved onto windows 7 now).

    About 2 seconds for me also.

    1.Run malware and antivirus scans
    2.Connect to your router by ethernet cable,instead of wireless.
    3.Google some Firefox tweaks

    No viruses, esat has been bugging me with just the flash plugin...and it's been like this since the format from vista to 7 :(

    As for wireless, I'm not talking about loading the internet on it...


    I'm talking about clicking on the short cut icon...and it's taking that long to load the program :(

    And all I have is ad block plus.

    Maybe you have too much plugins installed?

    My fault,I didnt think you meant when you launch the application.But when is this problem happenning

    right after startup
    or every time you try to launch it

    I only have my Antivirus enabled on startup,so right after startup it only takes a couple of seconds to get on the net.If I click on it after say 30 mins,its still a couple of seconds.

    Everytime when i launch it.

    I do need to time it, but all of my apps happen instantly...I'm sick of the timer thing spinning :(
