Not as bad ad internet explorer.

Exactly. Internet explorer is wrothless. I can only have 10 tabs open and it slows down and gives problems. Plus the user interface of Internet Explorer is not good. It doesn't allow the same interaction as Firefox does.

425 tabs - thats your main issue right there :X

I never have more than 5 tabs on any of my devices whether they be my gaming desktop, gaming laptop or iPhone.

For 425 tabs - you'll need like over 100 GB RAM or something. I'm surprised you havent experienced a BSOD or something similar to it lol.

..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

But how can you guys have so little tabs? What about all the subjects you are reading about?

Whenever you go to VGC and check out what interesting threads have been created since yesterday that's like 8 new tabs opened right there.

And then you have your other gaming news, tech sites, world news, sports, politics, religion, history, wikipedia, YouTube, blogs, movies, special subjects.

It quickly adds up. And you can't read it all at once, you simply must keep the tabs opened so you can read them later.

Start Firefox with add-ons disabled. Click the 3 bars in the top right, click the Question icon (help menu), click Restart with Add-Ons Disabled. If you don't experience the same problem, one of your add-ons is the culprit. Then just us a process of elimination to find out which one it is.

 This is the best advice. Start with this first. Most of the time, it is a rogue add-on.



These 425 tabs were built when I was on vacation in August and had lots of time to browse and research interesting stuff.

This is stressing me out. I come home after a long day of work and first thing I do I have to battle Firefox to even read the latest from VGC.  At least it's comforting to hear that it may not be viruses causing the slowdown! I'm completely without virus protection, although I believe Windows 10 inherently is a strong virus protection. A virus would devastate me.

Actually sometimes I have started all over. I just start and close Firefox twice and then my "latest session" becomes completely wiped.

But now I have so much information I've built and I risk losing if I do that. I would not just feel empty if I wiped all this, I would get huge anxiety because I missed out on something important.

Thank you for the attempt to help! But when I go to "help" (actually in my language it's called "open menu") and then click on "Add-ons" it just opens a new but completely empty tab.

Could you give better advice please?

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?

Bluehill Firewall addon helped me.
