Firefox 14.0.1 slow to switch tabs
I open the following tabs each day to get my "Tech News Fix". Switching between tabs with Firefox 14.0.1 is MUCH slower than with the previous of Firefox.

When a new tab is selected the browser pane is blank for several seconds before the page content loads.
I hope you can help.

You most likely have on demand loading enabled. Click the Firefox button in the upper left hand corner. Then click Options. Click on the Tabs section. Uncheck "Don't load tabs until Selected".
Then restart Firefox.

Tyler,
Thanks for the reply - it seems to have worked. For anyone else looking at this thread, the option Tyler mentions is on the "General" tab rather than the "Tabs" tab. It also takes some mucking around to un-click the "Don't load..." setting.
I had to select the "Show my windows..." option from the "When Firefox starts:" setting. Then I could un-click the "Don't load..." setting. Then you can re-set what ever you were using for the "When Firefox starts:" setting.
Regards, Peter
