Mozilla FireFox Slow to Load websites (if at all) !

[rosemontcollectables]

Hello,

I have explorer to browse the net but I have recently installed firefox but when you type in website addresses it takes forever to actually load the pages if at all! Does anyone know why this would be at all? I have put this on my computer so I can edit my facebook photo albums as it is meant to work better when you have numerous photo's that you wish to re-arrange. Explorer won't quickly allow you to shuffle your images into the order that you want once you have a few hundred contained in an album.

It is interesting that you mention the internet speed, I am with blink & for weeks now it constantly drops out & I have to re-connect often. It has been like that today but for the past two days firefox has starting working again thankfully .

Most of the smaller ISPs purchase their internet time for resale in large blocks from either Telstra or Optus and I'm firmly convinced that the 2 big companies give their own paying customers priority with the best bandwidth and connections, which is why I've remained with Optusnet for the past 10 years, and have had absolutely no complaints whatsoever with their service or line speed. The smaller ISPs may be slightly cheaper but I believe you get what you pay for, which is why I doubt I'll ever change.

I don't have a lot of $ to play with so I am on their $19.90 plan.

That's rather unfortunate but if you have a landline as well, the bigger ISPs have some bundled deals which are excellent value if you change your existing services to the one ISP. I can't immediately quote precise figures, but the deal I have with Optus for example gives me my landline, with all local and interstate calls plus all calls to Optus-based mobiles included (no matter how many you make) plus 120Gb per month of high-speed cable internet for just $88 per month.

Clearly that's a whole lot more than your current $19.90 but once you factor in the savings in phone costs as well, you'll probably end up paying an overall figure of no more than you pay now, if not even less, plus you'll be getting premium line speeds and technical backup included. If you have a mobile and add that as well, the advantages are even greater.

I probably sound like a commercial for Optus, but Telstra and Dodo, as well as a couple of other ISPs also have bundled plans available for as little as $59 or so last time I saw one of their TV ads, and some of them are well worth looking into.

If it keeps being an issue I shall look into maybe optus then, thanks again .

Hi , not sure if your problem has been solved but you may or may not be aware that  FF browser uses a different version of Adobe flash player than Explorer browser,so as such might be helpful in rendering some web pages effeciently  to access the adobe site and install the supported player via the FF browser , if not done so
