Since update 60.3.2 autocomplete in address bar is very slow for 20-30 seconds. 60.3.1 works fine.

No changes other than updating to 60.3.2 (from 60.3.1), and now the autocomplete in the address bar is very slow 20-30 seconds.

Safe Mode behaves similarly. No add-ons.

Only using local address books.

Any ideas?

We have identified the problem and it will be fixed in TB 60.3.3 which we will ship soon. In the meantime, please revert to TB 60.3.1.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Updated: I reverted to 60.3.0 and the problem goes away.

And I don't see anything in 60.3.1 or 60.3.2 that suggests a possible cause.

Joe, sorry to bother, but can you try 60.3.1 again so we know which jump in versions causes the issue?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1242603 is the only other topic I find which reports this issue.

OK, 60.3.1 works correctly as well. It's only 60.3.2 for some reason. Again, I do not have any add-ons installed and have tested in Safe Mode and the problem is the same.

Don't forget to turn off automatic updates or else you'll go back to 60.3.2 next time you restart TB. Tools->Options->Advanced->Update tab->deselect "Automatically install..." and deselect "Use a background..."

My system won't let me run that file for security reasons. I'll wait for the regular release of 60.3.3 and report back here.

Isn't there a button to push that will allow it?
