Speed of access, plus faulty page loading
Computer system: Desktop Mac G5 DP 2.3 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, OS X 10.4.11. I run ClamXav 2.2.1, maintaining current virus definitions.
I welcomed the upgrade to 45.5.0 because I found 45.4.0 to open and generally function slower than its predecessor. And 45.5.0 is quicker. However, after using it for a short time, its speed of loading web pages - predominantly text - slowed to a crawl. Pages began to not load at all. Or they would partially load, then blank out nearly the entire page, then would just "chug" - no beach ball of death - showing the page would be loading but never would.
I reverted to 45.4.0 with which I am creating this problem query. It continues to start-up slowly, but pages load and are accessible, including links within a page.
I ran speedof.me with both versions of 45. The older version uploaded more quickly while downloading was essentially identical.,
I ran speedof.me using Safari 4.1.3 and discovered download was somewhat quicker than either version of 45 while uploading was much quicker.
I have no idea what sort of problem I am attempting to describe. I worked with my Internet service provider's tech support. We find nothing amiss.

Tlancek, all I can say is: This doesn't match my experience with 45.5 at all. Please try again with add-ons disabled or reset TenFourFox.
Pierre dery: Please try Facebook in another browser. If it's better over there, reset TenFourFox. If it isn't, you've got a network problem.

Chris:
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I may have been premature in placing
my problem query. After I did so, I tried my "last arrow in my quiver,"
my #2 drive that replicates my primary drive. Its function is to become
primary if/when primary dies. I ran speedof.me several times. It
reported a consistently repeating pattern that remained within the upper
range of my widely swinging primary drive. I was not happy; I assumed
accessing my usual URLs and links would result in the same poor Internet
access problems.
Did not happen!
My machine running from #2 drive functioned as I expected my primary
drive to run - a few days ago. And this was running 45.5.0.
Next steps were obvious - DiskWarrior to optimize primary drive's
directory, permissions, and files and folders. After this, TechTools Pro
to defragment files, then the drive. The only one of these steps that
reported major problems was my primary drive's directory. Having
repaired and optimized my primary drive's software, and having
reinstalled 45.5.0, I'll see how things work over the weekend.
Despite my not having tested how effective is my maintenance, I must
reiterate that #2 drive - virtually a duplicate of my primary drive -
functions normally with the same exact set-up as the drive that didn't
work worth spit.
FYI: I do not visit ANY social URL, so Pierre, I can furnish nothing useful pertaining to Facebook problems.

I've been running 45.5.0 on my primary drive all evening. Problem is solved. A severely troubled directory was the problem. What is surprising is that the only circumstance where the directory problem manifested was TenFourFox on the Internet.
