aspx page with gridview runs very fast in IE but 20% of the speed on Firefox

Question

Hi there I have a simple aspx page with some search options which queries an SQLEXpress database, and it is displayed in a gridview.

For some reason, it runs lightning fast in IE but very slow in Firefox.

It has very little code, a gridview a couple of images and a couple of textboxes and a search button. It was done with Expression Web so no additional code added.

In production (not local) the speed is very noticiable when doing a search...

IE displays the results almost instantly...Firefox might take 3-5 seconds.

And everything else runs super fast as well in IE (update, delete etc).

Is there a reason for this ? Thanks

Answer 1

what kind of extensions do you have in firefox? something like fasterfox may be sending multiple page requests

Answer 2

Maybe the problem is with your Firefox Instance, maybe some creepy Add-Ons you installed or maybe you should disable Firebug which causes problems like this.
