Ever sine the Win 10 Creators Update, my Firefox take 5 seconds to get to my home page, every time. It makes no difference if I am in safe mode or not. I have tried a reset but that did not make a difference. My version is 53.0.3 (32-bit). Any suggestions?

What are you using as your homepage?

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

Win 10 Safe Mode did not make any difference. This problem must be related to FireFox itself; IE opens with NO delay.

This can be a problem with Windows Defender.
