Your bookmarks will have nothing to do with the slow down, I have about 700 bookmarks, and firefox works as advertised. |
Hi, I have installed Opera and the page loading speed is still snail-slow. Accessing Gmail is still a painful task on Opera. My internet connection is solely for my computer only, which is a DSL broadband. And I have scanned my computer using MalwareBytes. Nothing found. Problem persists.

Yes, both Firefox and Opera are running at incredibly slow speeds. Results are still the same. I have tried booting in Safe Mode with Networking but couldn't test out the differences because my broadband connection has to be initiated via PPPoE DSL protocol (that means I can't access the net in Safe Mode with Networking). And I do not have a router to enable automatic connections.
Any other solutions to this problem? Many thanks though to Lorjack and Alpenadiver.
