For the past 3-4 days I have noticed that firefox has been extremely slow. Not only in it's responses but actually pulling data from the internet. Instead of getting hundreds of mb per second, I am getting 4-5 BITS per second!!! Some images won't show up and other pages that normally work time out like crazy. I thought it was my internet (FIOS) but using another browser (SAFARI) the internet works fine(normal transfer speeds).

Anyone else having this problem? and yes its the new version of firefox. :bomb:
 
have any add-ons? i had a similar problem with Firefox but ended up uninstalling some of the Firefox add-ons that i have to see if it helped and it did
 
It probably won't help much, but you can change some of the settings to speed things up.

Type in about:config into the address bar and change the following options:

networking.http.pipelining: true
networking.http.pipelining.maxrequest: around 30 (or more since you have fios)
networking.http.proxy.pipelining: true
 
yeah I've been getting that same thing for the past day or so. Weird how it just popped up like that with slowing down. Never acted like this before. Wonder whats wrong
 
May not even be related but I thought I'd bring this up anyway. Both my parent's and my roommate's computers have come down with serious trojans as of yesterday. Opposite sides of the country, different viruses, complete coincidence. But anyway, if I were you I'd do a thorough cleaning of your system just in case.

read this report on how the number of 0 day exploits have increased http://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/iss/xforce/midyearreport/xforce-midyear-report-2008.pdf a good read for those worried about PC security
