Firefox seems to have slowed things down quite a bit. I keep getting this message "performing TLS handshake. What does this mean?!!!!!!! And why does it take so long to move?

Hi PatGates,

Would you please take a look at this article - it will explain what a TLS Handshake is :

To solve the problem, you could try to toggle the IPv6 preference on the about:config page, and maybe try other possible solutions that are mentioned here :
