Might be easier to do that if you tell us a little bit about the system
you’re running on and how it’s configured.

30 minutes? Or 30 seconds?

What version of Firefox, and do you have any addons/extensions
installed? (Some versions of Firefox are notoriously slow loading if
there are lots of extensions, more recent versions are better).

Maybe also grab the output in the terminal (put this information in code
tags, “#” button in the advanced editor will get you there):

lspci
lsscsi
lsusb
cat /proc/loadavg

(this last one should be when the system is being slow). You’ll open
“Konsole” on a KDE install to get to a terminal window.

Thirty minutes? :open_mouth:

Is it only firefox?

SUSE 12? There is no such thing. What have you really installed?

Do “cat /etc/SuSE-release” in a terminal and copy here the result.

You might try disabling ipv6. FF has a variable named
“network.dns.disableIPv6”, set it to true.

OK, I’m sure someone will be able to help you out with that there.

With the 30 sec issue, I’m with Carlos - I’d forgotten about teh IPv6
configuration item in FF, and that could definitely have an effect. If
you don’t have IPv6 from your ISP, you might disable it completely in YaST
(in the network configuration) and reboot the machine to make sure it’s
turned off.

But even with it turned off, you need to tell FF to not use IPv6 or it’ll
wait for a timeout there as well.
