Why does Mazil slow down? What to do if Mazil slows down?

Many users are familiar with the Mozilla Firefox browser as one of the oldest, safest and most popular navigators on the world wide web. The basic functionality of Mazily is not cluttered with anything superfluous, it includes only the most necessary and basic (compiling lists, synchronizing data, creating folders, breaking down tags, setting up search and notification systems , etc.). Installing additional extensions makes it possible to customize the browser based on your own preferences.

In the process of using the browser, many have questions about why Mazil slows down, what to do in this case. There are several ways to speed up his work.

Disabling unused plugins

Viewing various kinds of content right in the browser window is possible using plugins. Many of them are rarely used. Disabling them will significantly increase the speed of the browser and solve the problem of why Mazil slows down. To do this, you need:

• In the top menu, select the "Tools" section.
• Open the "Add-ons" manager.
• In the explorer located on the side, switch to the "Plugins" tab.
• View a list of all installed plugins.
• Opposite the plug-in to be disabled, in the pop-up menu select the option “Never enable” (it will change the status to “Disabled”).

If desired, any plugin can be reactivated. To do this, just change the option “Never turn it on” to “Always turn on” or “Turn on upon request” in the pop-up menu.

Removing custom plugins

Mozilla Firefox has no built-in tools to get rid of unnecessary plugins. However, this can be done through the control panel of the Windows operating system.

This will require:

• Through the "Start" button, open the main menu of the computer.
• Go to the "Control Panel" section.
• Find the subsection "Programs".
• Click on the “Uninstall a program” link.
• Find the required plugin in the list and select it with the mouse.
• In the upper menu, actions that can be performed with the program will become available.
• Select "Delete".
• The utility and all its components will be erased from the computer and, accordingly, from the browser.

Some plugins have their own software that allows them to be removed if they are the reason that Mozilla is terribly slow.

Disabling installed extensions

There are many different extensions for Mozilla Firefox, the installation of which can significantly increase the functionality of the browser (ad blocking, downloading videos and music, access services to social networks, etc.). But do not forget that the increase in functionality due to installed extensions leads to the fact that Mazil slows down. What to do in this case? You must disable them. To do this, you need:

• In the "Add-ons" manager of the "Tools" section, open the "Extensions" tab.
• Select in turn all the elements that should be disabled.
• Opposite each extension, click on the “Disable” button.
• To complete the changes, you need to restart the browser.
