Hi Teagan,

I understand that you updated Firefox this week and the performance has decreased.

In general we are seeing an improvement in performance with Firefox 29 but there may be something specific to your configuration that is making it slower.

Can you try Safe Mode and see if that helps? After that we can troubleshoot what may be wrong: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

Let me know if that helps, Ibai
