Latest Update made Firefox/java SLOW as molasses
Updated to Firefox 49.0.2 I go to facebook, and try loading a java game called Bingo Drive. It takes 3 to 5 mins to load the game. Tried running in safe mode.. Same results.. Tried refreshing, it said it had a problem with one of my tabs or something like that..
I usually run it with Adblocker plus and Video downloader helper..
If I go to facebook and load this game in MS Explorer 11, the game loads in 15 seconds.
No idea what is causing this problem of slowness.. It says all my add ons or what ever are up to date.

PROBLEM SOLVED.. And the answer was NOT in this Thread! LOL
Wouldn't ya know it? I did a google search on Firefox 49 problems. Found an article on video problems.
their solution was to go to the Options, advanced settings and uncheck the "use hardware acceleration" box. restart firefox and see if that works.
Well I did that..
My game loaded in 35 seconds... So I went from 4 mins to 35 seconds by unchecking one box.
Game is still a bit slow to load sound. I get 5 maybe 6 rounds of bingo before the sound comes on.. Was this way before too..
Getting the feeling the problem here may be my Graphics card.. The Mother board bios chip is dated 1998. Its a asus Motherboard. About 10-15 years old and still running very nicely.. but I think its time for an upgrade...
II will keep windows 7 though.. will not allow windows 10 in this house for any reason. If I cannot use 7, or they do not come up with something better than 10, I will be switching to an apple computer.
