Firefox delay.. · DIGIT-ARC

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 5. When i was using Firefox 4 it took 5-7 min to start. Then i upgraded to Firefox 5. For few days it was working fine. Then a problem started. The problem is that it starts only when when internet is disconnected(I use dial up settings). When my net is connected i does not start though it can be seen in processes. As i disconnect my net, it starts. So now i start Firefox before connecting to internet.

So how can i solve this problem ? I've tried clearing browsing history, cache, temporary files & also tried reinstalling it.

5-7 Minutes to start? :shock:

Seems like your Computer is badly corrupted

Does all softwares take this time or only Firefox ?

Try Cleaning up your PC

My Safari & Opera starts quickly without problems.

I use Tune Up Utilities 2010 to clean my PC on weekly basis. I also use Windows clean up & defragmenter.

try using ccleaner too....

Check the plugins, it might be a plugin slowing it down, I had seen this before. If all else fails uninstall and reinstall firefox.

Reinstalling is of no use.

My firefox 5 starts quickly when my net is not connected !

Check plugins/addons.

Some Plugin or Addons updates I think everytime you start firefox.

Oh yeah, in options, uncheck check for updates at startup.

That's normal, 5 min isn't.

FF is going to be released with incremental builds after every 4-5 months(not usre about the time interval)...next FF6 will be releasing soon......i too found FF5 buggy and also was prone to memory leaks...so switched back to FF4
