slow to no page loading - only in Firefox, all web pages - just recently (last two weeks or so). Yes, I have scanned. It happens especially when I have more than onetab going. Help
Firefox slows to a standstill for long periods of time if I am in tabs and browsing. Does not occur in Explorer. Only when +1 tab open: all web sites - Google, facebook, whatever. Began about 2 weeks ago. Yes, I scanned for virus. Help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

this will sound stupid - I don't think I have a firewall...I'll check this out tomorrow - thanks.
