Firefox 3 startup sometimes is too slow and takes more than a minute to show up:
To fix this problem do the following:
- Start Firefox3
- Go to Tools Menu >>> Option
- In options window chose Advanced >>> Network Tab >>>
- Click in connection box press Setting button
- (in the new window) chose Manual Proxy Configuration
- Type in the HTTP Proxy Field: 127.0.0.1 and Port: 0
- Click OK
- Click OK
- restart your firefox3
Did not work for me.
ReplyDeleteI am troubleshooting it with Process Explorer.
In the log, I can see that firefox.exe is trying to connect to some random port around 60000 on 127.0.0.1.
It slows down the process for exactly 3+6 = 9 seconds, as TCP stack tries to reconnect...
