Why is it that it takes so much longer for me to load Mozilla than Chrome? I used to have Firefox as my Default, but left because of slowness, tried again yesterday but it is still VERY slow.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
