My laptop shuts down as "Slow" Fox uses to may resources. I"ve read the myriad of suggested fixes and none work.

Why do we need to go through all of your suggested fixes when you should be resolving the issues. Looking at IE, and other browser now as this is now awful.

I don't really expect a response as no-one else appears to have had any good info other than: "Go here; try this; do that; let us know how it works" (Doesn't).

You've mucked up what was a good browser. Go back a step and try and fix your mistakes.

Are you referring to Firefox ver 56 (32 bit) on Windows 7 (64bit)?
