Since the update my 64 computer searches are so slow on 8.1 . I have tried making changes but it has not helped, it is too slow, for an update that is suppose to make it a faster search. Also the search button back and forth motion over and over is very annoying, a spiral is more calming as you wait, and wait, for every site to come up.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

___________________________________________________________________________

uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.3 with a Full Version Installer

____________________________________________ To turn off Firefox built-in animations:

Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter-key afterwards. Confirm that you will be careful if the warning intermediary page is displayed. Use the search to find toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled. Double-click on the preference name to toggle its state.

Also set the rest of these to false in the same way:

browser.tabs.animate browser.fullscreen.animate browser.download.animateNotifications alerts.disableSlidingEffect _______________________________________________ USSER CHROME URL'S
