Pages will not load quickly unless I click the X to stop then click the refresh icon and the page starts to open but will not completely open unless I do the same thing again click X then click refresh then it works fine. Until of coarse I click a link and I have to repeat the above process over and over again.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Thanks for that but that's not the problem as I have my browser set to do that on exit. that suggestion seems to be the go to answer to all comp problems but unfortunately in this case it doesn't work
