![]() ![]() There are of course risks involved with using old versions, but you may need them for research and I am sure will have taken steps to mitigate the risks but for others take note of If you do have various versions of Firefox installed you would be best using a separate profile for each. Starting in Windows safe mode should cut out most none essential software and so may be worth trying. Note Firefox's safe mode does not affect custom prefs Although the problem started recently it affects various versions of Firefox so I would suspect it is a profile problem or some external software. You already seem to have covered most things. I certainly wasn't experiencing delayed connection in either version up till a few days ago. The only reason I'm not normally on v22 is that the copy and paste problem still hasn't been sorted. But even that is odd, given that I've been using v21 since it came out and v22 on and off since it came out. The fact that the other browsers connect as instantly as ever (I'm on an optic fiber connection with typical download speeds in excess of 65mb) suggests it's nothing to do with any of the usual external culprits and must be something in firefox. And, as I say above, I tried it in safe mode to eliminate the possibility it was one or more of my other plugins. I even disabled their external components completely for a few tests and it made no difference. Avast plugin was not installed and Zonealarm's was installed but disabled. Initially I assumed it was caused by an update in either Avast or Zonealarm as their "web protection" elements are a menace. But that initial delay is getting very irritating. After that, it's good as gold and flying along nicely. REGARDLESS of the tab state (multiple tabs from previous session, or single home page tab) it then takes 40+ seconds to connect to and open the first page. And it's only been doing this since, I think, last Thursday. Clearing history and cache has no effect. ONLY Firefox exhibits the following behaviour and it does so even in "safe mode" and after a reinstall with either v21 or v22. ie 10, srware iron 28, pale moon 20.3 and, of course, firefox (v21 or 22) You can pull out tabs to new windows, open browser in Incognito mode, search from the URL bar and almost everything else that exists in Chrome.I have 4 browsers currently installed.

It is based on the open source Chromium source code and has the same feature as Chrome. Iron browser is developed by a German software company SRWare. ![]()
