Firefox 52.8.1 esr getting slow

Post by burris »

I have been using FF since Netscape but lately it's beginning to bog down on all sites. Particularly on ebay where it doesn't go to a hyperlink unless I refresh the page every time.
I tried Chrome and IE and they both do go like lightning to ebay as well as everything else.

Any suggestions before I start looking to migrate?
thanks

Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?
