Adobe Firefly is EXTREMELY SLOW

For the past week or two, Firefly has become almost impossible to work with.

 

Performance has degraded significantly. It is not just slow when generating images, but also when simply typing or editing prompts. There is constant lag and delay (up to 10 seconds just to type a single word!!), which completely disrupts the workflow and is unacceptable.

 

What used to be fast and fluid is now frustrating and exhausting to use.

 

 

System details:

  • macOS Tahoe 26.2

Same here having similar problems.. Takes 10 seconds to even type a single letter.. I have changed safari to google and then chrome and still works poorly.. Had no problems in the past until recently..  Tried ur advice but that did not work

Hey @SRPF 

 

Just to add a bit more to what @Kartika Rawat  mentioned.
Consider: 
- opening a new tab / - closing off other Firefly project tabs 
- turning your computer off and on (I find this helps sometimes)
Delete the images that are not working for you How to Delete multiple Files

Hi sandraf98739657!

Sorry to hear that. Could you try cleaning cache files? Additionally, try using another browser and see if that resolves the issue.

 

Let us know.

Thanks,
