In the latest version 30 it opens slowly and gets stuck on "select a country" instead of going to my homepage.

When I start Firefox version 30 which I just downloaded the new version, it hangs up on "Select a Country". I then have to click on the homepage icon and then it goes to my Yahoo homepage. My country of choice was previously established. I have also noticed it now works at about half the speed as the previous version. Which I believe was version 29. It also now frequently hangs up and in some cases it tells me "Firefox is no longer responding". I then have to shut it down and restart the Firefox application. I have attempted to go back to the previous version via Mozilla's webpage. But when I attempt to download it, it tells me the older version is not available to me. I am unhappy about this as I enjoyed the previous version very much with no problems.

Hello,

can you try restarting Firefox in safe mode.

Safe Mode is a special Firefox mode that can be used to troubleshoot and fix problems. Safe Mode temporarily resets some settings and disables add-ons that might be causing problems. By comparing Firefox behavior in normal mode to its behavior in Safe Mode you may be able to pinpoint the cause of the problem.
