Firefox worked great before the update a week or two ago. Now it's incredibly slow.
Prior to the most recent Firefox update, the Firefox browser had worked great. Now it takes forever to start and if you try and open another tab the browser freezes and shows Not Responding for a few seconds before it finally opens the new tab. How do I fix this issue?

It looks like your having driver issues causing part of the problem with FF57. How uptodate are those drivers? And did you disable adblock to see what else happens. You need to do a elimination here but not uninstall software to see where the problem is coming from.
What driver would I be looking to update for a problem with FF57? I have updated my graphics driver but I don't know if that's what I'm looking for? Let me know what to do from here to fix the driver issue. Thanks
Some Windows 10 users are encountering severe performance problems with Firefox 57 related to accessibility services. I don't know if this could affect Windows 7 users. Please see the reply from philipp in the following thread in case this bug is affecting your system: Firefox 57 hangs up.
