Dilbert loading slow in firefox

Mar 14, 2009 11 Replies

Anyone else has this problem?



When loading dilbert.com firefox freezes for several seconds, even preventing selection of other tabs for example. Annoying.

No idea why what this has to do with SED, but ...

I don't have this problem. But then I have disabled Java, JavaScript and most plug-ins.

You could try disabling these "features" one at a time until you figure out what's causing it.

Dilbert is very on topic here. Ask around :)

I'll give it a try.

Even that wants to load 5 JavaScript files. (Better than the 13 that the other does.)

I have dilbert.com/img blocked as well. I also have adserver & promo blocked. dilbert.com/dyn covers the last 2 and more.

This is the one I like...

Har!

BTW from click to fully loaded, about 4 1/2 seconds in Firefox 3.0.7 with Java, several plugins, adblockers etc. all enabled.

Which version you got? I'm using 3.0.7, and from click to fully loaded it's 7 seconds tops with no tiresome tab-freezing. The animations:

take about twelve seconds to get going from first click, again with no tab-freezing. I've got Java, adblockers, Greasemonkey and all sots of crap fully enabled.

I think the Dilbert site uses a heavy amount of javascript. I note Java on my system makes not only Firefox freak out, but iTunes also.

And don't get me started on the memory usage issues with iTunes.

Already noted in this thread.

Java and JavaScript are NOT related in any way:
