Am using firefox and am finding it more and more slower. Contacted BT re speed of broadband and they say it is ok.
Anybody advise on a quicker browser. Am using IE for emails, google chrome for facebook, and firefox for all my other sites.

It might be worth a look at your Task Manager, to see if the same thing is happening.

Thanks for that reminder about limiting the number of Firefox processes, Mrchirpy. I've used it in the past to speed Firefox up but I'd forgotten about it.
I've just cut the number of processes from 8 down to 2 on my (elderly) PC and there does seem to be an improvement in speed. (I'll have to remember to keep the number of tabs I've got open to a minimum though. I do tend to have too many open at times!)
