I am using Firefox as my browser but it taking so long to load the site. How can I speed it up? I am not receiving any errors or problems when it is up and running. I can even switch on two different tabs real quick. The only issue I am having with Firefox is, when I start my computer then click on the Mozilla icon on my desktop, it will take ages to open it. But sometimes, opening it is easy and fast, most of the time it’s not. What can be the possible cause of this? How can I make it load fast?

Loading Issue in Mozilla Firefox
The most likely cause of this is you’re trying to open the software too soon while the computer is still loading the programs and startup applications when it boots. Make sure that when the computer loads your desktop, everything has been loaded first and the hour glass is gone before you open ANY application at all. If you open an application, especially one that takes up a considerable amount of memory like Firefox, it would slow down the computer’s overall loading process including the loading of Firefox. One way to help improve this is to add more RAM to your computer. This should give it more space to accommodate more applications at a given time and this should help speed things up all in all.
Loading Issue in Mozilla Firefox
Hi Eharper,
 This is the problem that is made by the manufacturers, every time you start the Firefox, windows tries to executes the files from its RAM, if the Firefox was not previously loaded then it fetches the data from the hard disk to RAM in order to run it and once it is loaded then it occupies a portion in your RAM and now after that your Firefox will run lightning speed fast because it has already been occupied the portion of your RAM.
Startup timing is one of the most serious issues for Mozilla Firefox developers. You can lower the first startup time by some tweaks available online. But I recommend you to upgrade your RAM. Firefox is made with such capabilities that uses plugins containers files and Firefox files which occupies a heavy part of RAM of your computer. So When you have a larger amount of RAM then it will never take times to load on its first go.
