Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
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.
If you decide McAfee is the problem, mark your last post as Solved Problem.
