Trouble with mozila firefox

Hi folks i was wondering if anyone could put me on the right track here as i dont know to much about pc`s but i was on my computer last night and i was wondering why it was so slow so i did all the usual stuff like running malwarebytes and it came up with no threats and then i cleaned it up with CCLEANER and tried it again, but i noticed along the bottom of the page that it said "your firefox" is running very slow so does anyone know how i go about fixing this problem with firefox as its realy annoying and i dont know where to start ,any help would be much appreciated thank you .

 

Hi Terry. What version of FireFox are you running?

 

Further to advise as above, I am finding the latest version 23.0.1 is slow working after it has been running for a while, a check in Task manager shows a very high memory usage, so if you don't have very much RAM to start off with, that in turn will slow everything else down while Firefox is open.
Once Firefox has been running for a while, open "Task manager" ( click start and type "Task Manager" into the search box)
Have a look under the processes tab, have a look at what the figure is for Firefox under memory, and let us know both that figure, and also how much RAM you have in your computer.

Hi folks yes ive tried resseting firefox although i didnt notice any difference speed wise .The guy that usualy fixes my computer works away from home so its not easy getting him to look at it for me ,ive tried doing what you asked NEV` and this is what i managed to sus out the version of firefox i have is 23.0.1and i tried to get as much about the memory as i could and this is what i managed to get >>cpu usage history is going from 1% to 12% going up and down +memory> 702mb >physical memory =69%and installed memory (ram) is 1.00gb this is about all i could manage to sus out so hope it helps you`s and thanks to everyone for the great help you`s have given me very much appreciated .

 

Hi, thanks for the information, until those folks at Firefox get this memory hogging problem solved I am afraid that with only 1.00GB of RAM, it will slow the whole thing down.
As I said I am having some problems with it and I have 4.00GB installed.
If you close Firefox entirely and try Internet explorer, do you find things speed up at all?
