Since 18 update, page load takes lot of time on almost all websites whereas other browsers (Google Chrome and IE 9) work well. I have tried "Reset", complete reinstall and 19 beta and they did not help.

PC conf: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

N/W setting: Behind a Proxy server

Make sure that your Antivirus/Firewall not blocking anything.


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:


  1. Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the Clear now button.

Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
