Firefox has slowed down so much I have stopped using it. When I try to scroll through Facebook it takes 10 seconds at least to move after I have scrolled with my mouse. Emails take 12-20 seconds to open and then same amount of time to delete. This is crazy!!!

I recommend that you have a read of this article that will provide some pointers if your copy of Firefox is slow.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into an alternative solution for you.
