firstly you check for updates then clear your history and cache.


 *   Go to about:preferences and in General, uncheck the box for Always check if Firefox is your default browser.
  • Go to about:preferences and in General, go to When Firefox Starts and select Show a blank page.


After using Firefox for some time, it starts using a lot of CPU process or RAM. To find out the cause of the slowdown, first try restarting Firefox in Safe Mode. This will make Firefox run without any add-ons or plugins. To do this, go to Options (the three-line icon at the extreme right of the URL bar) > Question Mark > Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

Firefox will restart and display two options: Start in Safe Mode or Refresh Firefox. Choose Start in Safe Mode.
