Have old iOs 106.8. Connection to internet was extremely slow, so, stupidly, updated Firefox to current iteration. Now nearly impossible. Connections are incredibly slow or incomplete. So - tried to Reset Firefox. THAT won't work. Keep getting "This is embarrassing"message re unable to load tabs, etc. and to close open windows. So I do. The only windows are Mozilla's, btw. Keep getting same thing. Round and round and round, etc.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.
