My web browser slows down all the time. I click on a link, video, tab or a thing and get this "loading icon" and sometimes have to wait 30-60 seconds before it reacts. Sometimes I'm given an error message "svarar inte" which in English means something like "doesn't respond". I often have to close the whole browser down and restart which is a process of 3 minutes before it's up and running again.

Even if I restart the browser it's usually slow, and at least very quickly becomes slow.

Does it matter that I have 425 tabs open in the browser? Note that only a fraction of them are activated at any given time if you understand what I mean. How many tabs do you guys keep open usually? I need to do it this way because if I make the pages into "bookmarks" instead, I simply can't find them when I want to. I hate bookmarks, I never find what I want.

It shouldn't be any problem with a modern, powerful computer and 16GB RAM, right?

How do I know that it's not viruses causing this slowdown? Is Windows 10 inherent virus protection enuff for protection when normal browsing (no porno sites)? Is there a good free and fast virus checker program I can get to check if I have viruses?

425 tabs, lmao
Why don't you just close all the tabs, restart computer and try with just one window?



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Did you know a great man once said: if you have too many tabs, press ctrl W?

I am sure its less due to firefox and more due to your ram.

425 tabs?!
I never open more than 8!



..it's probably the tabs you have opened :p

Just bookmark them and close it, it's not like you're using all of them in a day anyways

I usually have like 6 tabs max and it runs just fine

I had a lot of troubles with Firefox and Flash, so much that I decided to block it from the browser.

And of course, I've never had such a ridiculous amount of tabs open...

It takes ages to close them since Firefox is so slow. I'm down to about 375 since yesterday.
