why is my internet browser opening so slow?

Your internet browser is most likely slow because you probably have a numerous amount of spy/adware on your computer. This spyware has been known to slow internet browsing up 10 times slower than what it should be. I would reccomend that you get a spyware removal program. If you already have one, I would reccomend using it once daily. If you dont have one already dont be alarmed thinking that you have to go buy this program. There are many free ones out there. Adaware SE is a very good and highly recomended one.

I use internet explorer often along with firefox. for internet explorer, i downloladed google's search toolbar which will kill pop-ups/ If you are getting a lot of them you may think about spyware or adware too. Slow computers and webpages loading slow may give you a hint you are infected.\n\nE-mail me at \nsteve@nicesites.org if you have other questions

Go to internet options for each browser you have:\nDelete Cookies\nDelete Page History\nClear/Delete Cache\n\nRun defrag\n\nRun your virus scanner.\n\nRestart.  This usually does it for me.\n\n(Don't run too many things at once).

A little bit more... And check out the link for other tips to speed up your machine.\n\nNow to start open up Mozilla Firefox and in the address bar type ''about:config''.\n\n1. Find '' network.http.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n2. Find '' network.http.proxy.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n3. Find '' network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to 20.\n4. Find '' browser.turbo.enabled'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n5. Find '' network.dns.disableIPv6'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n6. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''nglayout.initialpaint.delay'' Then set its value to 0.\n7. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''browser.cache.memory.capacity'' and set a value that suits you for a cache size for this browser, I do reccomend setting a lower amount than 50mb as this will increase computer performance.E.g 16mb ( 16000). <- keep this higher  if you want to concentrate on browser performance.

If your computer is slow to respond (something like, you click, but nothing happens for some time), get a antivirus, and download Microsoft's anticipate utility and run it to get rid of spyware.\n\nIf your Internet connection feels slow (you want to get to a site but it takes loooong time to load), you might want to try an web accelerator. Try http://webaccelerator.google.com/ from google.

Other than doing what is already posted, you should consider an alternative browser. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox.\n\nThe system requirements can be found here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html\n\nYou can find the English language Windows version of Mozilla Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\nIf English is not your native language, you may find your language here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html . This page also has versions for different operating systems.\n \nFirefox allows you to configure whether you want to see images or not. You can also configure it to only show images that are hosted at the site that you are browsing. You can  configure it to show/block images on a site-by-site basis. There are Extensions ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ ) which provide additional options. There are also extensions which can accelerate your download speed. In fact, there are hundreds of extensions which can enhance many aspects of browsing.\n\nBelow, I've listed links to other popular alternative browsers. I don't use them so I can't tell you about them.\n\nAvant Browser - http://www.avantbrowser.com/\n\nOpera Browser - http://www.opera.com/

My system sometimes slows down if I have IE and Firefox running at the same time.

its probably your internet connection. you should get a faster one cuz yahoo is usually pretty fast for me. to make things faster try downloading a program that checks for adware and get rid of it since it can slow down your comp while you're on the internet.

Run a Spyware scan, which is probably the number one reason for a slow computer these days.  The Yahoo toolbar has a good one, powered by Pest Patrol.  There are other free ones available at http://www.download.com/  The best two free ones IMO are Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.\n\nAfter you run one or more of these, also do a virus check, a disk defrag and other tweaks, and you should be back to normal.  If ALL ELSE fails, back up what you can, and reinstall Windows.  If that doesn't work, it's a hardware problem.\n\nGood luck!

You may have malware that is slowing down your computer. Try downloading Microsoft's antispyware software and see if it turns anything up. Ad-Aware is also good.

Firefox is slow to load; it's a known issue with the browser. I set my profile to load Firefox at startup. Then once it has loaded that first time I just leave it open. It also helps to set your home page to about:blank.

It could be that the dsl is not the problem.  Other reasons the internet might slow----viruses or your hard drive is overloaded.

Download the free spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\nIt is probably just spyware.  I know of at least one case where a link in a source here on answers caused a cascade of browser windows to open (not too nice, either).\nI reported it as abuse.\nSpybot cleaned it up.
