Hi I have noticed that my Firefox is getting slower. Everything else in my computer works fine.

I have a Packrd Bell desktop PC with windows 8.

I have tried a number of times resetting Firefox and it does not really solve the problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
