Which addon is slowing down firefox

All add-ons installed in Firefox are displayed on this page. Locate the first add-on in the list, and click the "Disable" button next to its name to disable it. Check if the browser is working normally. If it's not, disable all add-ons in the list one by one, and restart the browser each time.

If the browser is working normally, then the last add-on you disabled was slowing down your Web browser. Whether it be a particular one or all of them, they give Firefox a bad rap because the user blames Firefox and not an add-on. I want Firefox to keep anonymous stats of all users and benchmark performance of the browser before and after the add-on.

I'm currently testing my set up. So far, I have these up and my browser seems to be stable and faster:. Adblock Plus 1. CheckPlaces 2. That's a lot to expect of Mozilla, considering the tens of thousands of extensions available for Firefox, and very few users install the same exact batch of extensions.

If you would be willing to volunteer your time to benchmark the 20, plus extensions that are offered at AMO alone, not counting the many thousands that are offered elsewhere and not available from AMO; and also test the innumerable combination's of all those extensions - I'm sure Mozilla would be willing to integrate a "benchmark rating system" at the AMO website.

I happen to have 53 extensions installed in this Profile, with no noticeable impact to speed that would have me trying to figure out which one's might be contributing to the slowdown. Sure, it is a lot to expect of Mozilla. Also, I think by raising expectations, Mozilla can rise to the challenge. I hope you didn't misunderstand me by thinking that benchmarking would be a manual effort.

I don't have installation usage notes, but I gather there is a common set of add-ons users like to install that can be prioritized. I'm not a programmer, but if I can help in some way, I can allot some time from my weekly schedule.

I'm glad your set of extensions are working well for you. Unfortunately, the set I am working with perhaps different from your set? I'm using SwitchyOmega because it's the only one that fullfil all my needs. Thx in advance for enlighting me on this :. Improve this question.
