I have updated Firefox, have done a complete fresh install, deleted profile, started in safe mode removed all plugins and set the accessibility to 1 but still firefox is unusable. Please help, I am so close to just uninstalling and moving to chrome, I'm waiting for five minutes and more just for a page to open and then it is almost impossible to navigate. I am using chrome just so I can send this message and I hate chrome,

Thanks

Did you delete the Mozilla folder as well? And what page is slowing down? What A/V and Firewall are you using?

Yes I deleted all mozilla folders in my user and in program folders, Also did a complete registery clean but when I went to reinstall I got the message saying it looks like you are reinstalling do you want to do a refresh...

Antivirus is trend I think firewall is also.
