When I start firefox it runs really slow, when I go to any website it will run sow on the first page but just loops until and will not bring up the second page. If I close out and restart firefox the refresh it will work fine until I shut it down and restart then I have to refresh again to get it to work. This problem started after the last update. How do I get it fixed?

You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift/Options key.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to test if security software is causing problems.

It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
