Internet connection and FR -- whats up?
5/31/17 | vanity

Posted on 05/31/2017 11:39:41 AM PDT by Fhios

I've noticed that leaving my browser open to FR really slows down my internet connection and or simply disrupts google Chrome. This started happening after last year's big long crash.

Anybody else seeing problems?

No problems here with IE, Firefox, or Opera. I often leave the ‘puters on, even when I go on vacation.

I think you may have a bug of some sort.

No problems on a phone browser.

Everything here has to go through NSA servers first, so, it kind of slows things down.

I am using the latest Firefox for Apple and it’s smooth. Safari works well too.

I did have a little trouble with Opera (which is owned by Google/Chrome)... Where I would have to occasionally refresh the screen.

Try hitting other web sites that are big and see if you get the same results?

Firefox user. 2 days ago Windows 10 massive update shook up things pretty good. Browser isnt even acting the same. Had to reinstall an older program to get it to work. Funky stuff.

FR seems just kinda more clunky but I think its more how the OS is rendering than anything else new.

If you are on a phone or tablet it sometimes helps to clear the task manager.

Switched from Firefox to Palemoon back during the kerfuffle. No problem here.

Half of the time it takes a while for a thread to display after I click on it. It started happening at the same time your issue did.

I’m using IE on Windows 7.

Lol. You might be right. And FR is alt-right, two strikes.

Same here-—I get the top couple of lines and then have to wait for the page to load.

I have not noticed any such problem.

I have noticed a couple of problems lately, but I have blamed them on recent "updates" by Microshaft (windows 10) or Norton : line wrap inoperable on many web sites (including Free Republic, but not today) and microscopic text as the default generally...
