Every time I use firefox, after 2-3 minutes it starts downloading bytes. I have looked and it is receiving millions and millions of bytes. This slows everything right down and it takes ages just to open one page. This does not happen on Explorer, but I do not like Explorer. I prefer Firefox, but these bytes it keeps recieving are stopping me from doing anything as it slows it down

Hi,

After updating Firefox via Help (Alt + H) > About Firefox, please also try a Reset Firefox on the old (previous) via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

Maybe check the requests with the Live Http Headers extension.
