I was evaluating my site’s statistics and I found something very interesting.

For the first time in the history of my site, the FireFox browser has a higher usage percentage than Internet Explorer.

I develop quite a lot in ASP.NET these days and one thing that always annoyed me, is the slow responses Firefox has on the default web server Visual Studio is using.

After doing a lot of research on the item and not many topics to be found on Google about this problem, I finally figured out why it is so slow. It has to do with the IPv6 support of FireFox, which is enabled by default in FireFox.

To fix this problem, you just have to follow these easy steps and FireFox will be just as fast as Internet Explorer.

  • Open FireFox
  • In the address-bar, type about:config to get to a large list of FireFox settings.
  • On the top of the list, you see a text-box called Filter.
  • Enter the following (or part of) text : network.dns.disableIPv6.
  • In your settings list, you see an option appearing, which by default is False.
  • Right click this setting and select Toggle, this should make the value True.
  • Restart your browser.

There you go, now FireFox is super-lightning-fast again!

Hope anyone can use this information, because it is annoying when debugging is getting slow.
