Can't save from developer console

Suddenly I cannot save changes to Apex code or VF pages from the Developer Console. It just hangs up. If I wait long enough, sometimes 5 - 10 minutes, it will save. This makes the developer console impractical to use. I read through the forums and found some advice about creating a new workspace, which I've done twice, but it hasn't helped. Appreciate any help on this. I'm stuck not using the Developer Console right now and I have some deadlines coming up.

Appreciate your help, Raj. I am using FIrefox version 64.0 - the latest. I tried the same thing through Safari and it has the same problem. Anyway, deleted Firefox cache and debug logs as you suggested. I tried some saves. One VF page saved in about 30 seconds. I tried another and it took 2.5 minutes to save. I looked at the progress for the last save. It shows "Creating deployment for container..." at 11:35:02. Then "Getting deployment for ID..." and "Getting members of ApexPageMember for container... at 11:37:29, which accounts for the time I measured.

Any other ideas? Anyone else? This is a real pain.

Hi Robert,

The problem with the Developer Console is that it is written in JavaScript; this uses a lot of computing resources.
So Here is a link given below:

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Deepali. I checked my perspective. It is set to Execution Log only. I also thought I would try from a different computer to see if it had anything to do with my hardware, software or configuration. Same problem.

The delay went away and I can now save files. The only thing I can think of is that I was using a workaround of copying source from the developer console and pasting it into the file opened in Setup and saving. I want back to trying to save from the developer console after about a week and the delay was gone. I can only think that something was corrupted and eventallly using the workaround cleared it up.
