Just got 100Mg update on virgin cable. Firefox was working perfectly. Downloaded Update to 57.0 .... Everything seems to have slowed down. Firefox front screen comes up Ok; start typing and occasionally there is a delay before letter shows. Then will connect to site quite normally. Select an option (say a page on Amazon) and it can "freeze" for about 20 secs? before opening page. Scrolling down page it will seem to scroll for 2-3 secs then stop for 10 then start again. I've given up on selecting video; sat there for minutes waiting to load. Running Windows 10; 4Gb ram ; AMD X4 processor; 64 bit (I'm 74, so dont know what most of this means). Any help would be most appreciated. Please use words a wrinkly like me can understand. Thanks

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

hi, thanks for reporting this. could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there.

if yes, can you please copy & paste this whole section into a reply in the forum and see if the following fixes the performance problem: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.
