<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br> Please continue here: [[/questions/926258]]</blockquote> I just upgraded from Firefox 3 to Firefox 12 and immediately got 5 to 10 higher ping tests. When I reinstalled Firefox 3 it went back down immediately. Is there a reason? Did I do something wrong? Is there a setting I should switch? As a gamer I'm concerned about ping increasing for no apparent reason.
