Long time user of Firefox, but the new Firefox for my windows 10 system ran very badly. Caused great delays in access to the web, provided choppy delayed response when scrolling on selected web pages. I was unable to restore the previous version of Firefox and was forced to removed Firefox completely and switch to another browser for acceptable service. Please Fix this new version or allow download of the previous version.

I had re-tried to download the new version of Firefox after removing all previous Firefox software in the computer two times. However the new download produced the same results. I have always liked Firefox in the past but this new version was to aggravating to use. I would like to know if this is a known problem which has a fix/update before trying to download it again.

Thank you for your response.
