my firefox v49.0.1 browsing has slowed down since the installation 2 weeks ago of the Windows 10 anniversay update 1607, is this normal? i can even see various stgaes during the screen chaning from one page to the next compared to before when browsing was too fast for me to see any intermediae changes, I'd guess i lost a third to half the speed . I hope firefox will come up with a new version to address whatever microsoft did to slow firefox down ( I read somewhere that they made the changes to make microsoft Edge win over against Firefox and chrome)

Hi

It may have been the case that this Windows update introduced extra functionality that is calling out to the internet and slowing down your connection. It may also be the case that your device is downloading follow up updates and may need fragmenting further to receiving a large windows update.

There are new features coming in Firefox that will make it faster, but I recommend you consult a dedicated Microsoft Windows support channel for help and guidance with the issue that you are having.
