On a laptop that I was troubleshooting there was a single add-on installed: an adblock add-on which in theory was supposed to make everything faster by blocking ads. But even 1 add-on can totally ruin your experience and slow down Mozilla Firefox tremendously. New updates pop up constantly, so make sure that you have the latest installed for the added performance benefits.Īlthough many of them are useful, having many add-ons installed will slow down Firefox, especially on laptops that already have little ram or an older processor to run with. If you don’t want to go through all of those update (although you should), at least update the drivers for your graphics card – no matter if it’s integrated or dedicated. But those that will be updated will 100% help improve the performance of your laptop in general, including Firefox. This will take a while, as you will have a ton of things to go through, but fortunately most of them won’t require an update. Simply launch your Device Manager (click the search icon and type “Device Manager” then click it), then expand all the categories there and right click each of them and select “Update driver”: And I highly recommend you to do this ASAP! Yes, I know that most websites try to push a paid software to manage your driver updates, but the truth is that it can be easily done manually, for free, if you have Windows 10. You are hopefully not avoiding this step, because this is what usually helps me a lot whenever performance issues are involved, Firefox included. I will share with you the fixes that I usually use with great success, some of them apparently unlikely culprits for the performance issues.
Some might have no effect, or it could be that just one of these recommended fixes will make your internet browser get a massive performance boost.
There are a lot of things that you can try to make Firefox run faster, actually. Because there are some options for you to keep Firefox running faster and without giving you headaches. But I have to admit that – especially when running on a lower end laptop, Firefox can be frustratingly slow.īut in today’s article, we’re going to try and tackle this problem and tell you what can be done to make Firefox run faster, especially on lower end laptops. I am still using Mozilla Firefox, mainly because this is what I’ve been using since the dawn of time.
