Firefox does not stop loading even after the site is loaded and continues as if it is still loading. I have clocked it to 15 minutes, why?

Sometimes this is due to the site (its own content, linked content, and scripts), sometimes it is due to an add-on, and sometimes it is due to a connection issue.

If you reload the page does it repeat the same problem?

If you check the "Waiting" or "Read" message, is it loading from the same domain or a different one (i.e., internal or external content)?

Since it's hard to know what causes the problem in any particular page, can you post a URL or two where you see this consistently?

Sorry, I should distinguish between slow loading and manual reloading.

I understood your problem to be that Firefox never finished loading the page, i.e., some part of the page was loading too slowly.

By reloading, I meant Ctrl+r (or the reload button), to manually reload the page. You can disregard any cached files and reload all content fresh from the server by adding the Shift key, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+r (helpful when specific sites do not load correctly).

If the page is automatically reloading itself over and over, that sounds like a completely different problem.

This issue can be caused by the FoxLingo extension

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
