Yes, have noticed--it's been a problem here. Clear everything in the cache, but most important is to unselect "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Hi all,

Have you noticed that Firefox has been super duper slow lately? Sometimes I can't even get Google to load up it's so slow. This is also effecting Koha. I watched a patron page try to load for over a minute before I restarted Firefox and it loaded up. I'm wondering what you're all doing to speed up Firefox or if you're using Chrome for Koha? I know there are some things like receipt printing and a few Acq things that just don't work right in Chrome, but everything is speedy in Chrome so is it the solution? Or is there another solution you're all using?

Thanks in advance Nicole _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Hi Nicole, We're using Chromium for Koha (due to the excessive slowness), except where we need silent receipt printing, where we're stuck with Firefox until a jsprint-like addon for Chrome is available. The slowness began presenting in Firefox 28, in both Windows and Linux for us. We found a browser re-set (help > restart with addons disabled) helped, a little. - Sean/Coos On 11/14/2014 09:46 AM, Nicole Engard wrote:

Hi, Nicole-- I haven't noticed any slowness with Firefox 33.1 on Win7, and Firefox still works much better for us with Koha than Chrome, but we probably have a very unusual set of circumstances: --Our employer has locked down Chrome options for use with our email system & disabled the ability to update it --Our network is slower than most home DSL networks --We *are* using Windows...:) So maybe I should say that our Firefox is working as fast as it usually does?

Try turning off hardware acceleration if it's turned on. Not specifically with Koha, but Chrome was unusably slow until I turned off hardware acceleration and I've always turned off hardware acceleration in Firefox. (This is on Windows 7.) The hardware acceleration setting in Firefox is in Advanced options, under the General tab. On 11/14/2014 12:46 PM, Nicole Engard wrote:
