Hi, Adblock Plus has been slowing down FF, so try disabling it - Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions. An alternative is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin

If that's no help, type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down and look for browser.tabs.remote.autostart and browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 If either or both exist, double click on either or both to change 'Value' from True to False, then restart Firefox. If there is no improvement, double click the entries again to change back to True. More - Configuration Editor for Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
