Hello,

I am assuming you are talking about telemetry:

  • Go to Tools (or New Fx Menu) > Options > Advanced > Data Choices
  • Uncheck the boxes you don't want, or click Learn More to see what it is used for

These shouldn't slow down your browsing experience too much, if at all, so please take a look at the articles Quick fixes if your Firefox slows down and/or Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix if you are still experiencing problems, or post back with more information about when/what you are doing when Firefox slows down.
