Firefox suggests I'm running slow and refresh might help. I click the refresh button and nothing happens.

Do you think there is a problem? If not, don't worry about it.

I'm spending too much time watching the little color wheel turn waiting on pages to load. I agree with Firefox, I seem to be running slow. I think there is a problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
