Hi guys,

I'ts been a few months that Firefox loads only half web pages and I have to reload them.

My PC runs on Windows 10 latest update proc is Intel G4560 + 8gb RAM + 120gb SSD + GTX 1050 Ti

I have enough space on my SSD with 16gb of free space.

I have tried to clean Firefox data like cookies but it didn't help.

Firefox is latest version.

Removed old AMD drivers with DDU.

I'm on fiber internet using Wifi only a few meters from the router.

Desktop is a bit clonky with 7gb of data (mainly photos) so I need to clean this up but not sure if that's my main issue.

What else can I do to have a smooth Firefox?

Cheers.

Do other browsers have the same issue?

How old is the Firefox install? If it’s really old it may be worthwhile exporting your profile and re-installing, then import profile back in.

You also have ublock, check to make sure it’s not blocking anything legitimate.

Test A different browser, without add-ons.

If it works, create a new test profile on Firefox, without any add-on.

If the problem disappears, enable one add-on at a time. If the problem happens with on specific add-on then check it's configuration.

Firefox has many issues. I used to run over a hundred windows with hundreds of tabs (I read a lot and have a bad memory). Firefox would hang, crash, load half pages, load no pages and had memory leak. I now restrict (computer melted down) to 10 windows and less than 100 tabs total and still have issues.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Thanks guys.

I've been using Brave with just Bitwarden add-on and I had the same issue.

I think it'stime for a clean Windows 10 install (7 years old)
