Downloaded new version of Firefox for windows (31.0) Web browsing has slowed to a crawl. It is painful, un-usable. Made no changes to settings, add-ons which ran on 30.0. Speed used be very good. Speed of browsing on Chrome still good and unchanged. Any suggestions?

I think that McAfee Site Advisor is causing this problem. When I disable it, Firefox (31) works at its old fast speed.

Test it for a while. Then decide what to do.

I found an add-on that looks to increase the speed of my Firefox. Still testing, but looks good.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
