Hello dalmar6677, It's not problem with your browser,it's problem with your internet connection.i think the bandwidth you are using is very slow.if you don't think so try using Firefox in safe mode this may help you. Thank you Dyvik.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
