For some reason, when I go to links the pages seem slow and heavy. It also has a lot of lag spikes between page loads. Basically it seems to freeze then load it all at once fast.

I'm currently using Firefox 25.

But when I use the same Chrome version, it seems to be very fast and smooth page loading.

The CPU it takes on average is about 400,000k.

Extensions:

  • iMacros
  • Leethax
  • Ad Block Plus 2.4
  • Ad Block Plus Pop-up Addon 0.9.1

Computer stats:

  • 6 GB RAM
  • Windows 7 Acer Aspire Laptop
  • 500 GB HDD
  • Intel Core i4-2370M

How do I make Firefox load like Google Chrome, without much freezing?
