That new version 59.0.1 made everything really slow. Pages open up to 30 seconds. It was almost instant before that update, even websites that i never entered before. All the flash content such as-games, reacting after 3-4 clicks.

I didn't touch or change anything and now when changes were made by firefox, i need to waste my time to look and dig what's the problem and try solving it? No, thanks. I'll use other browser, that's more simple solution.

Hi, it seems an issue that only affects users who have turned off cleartype font rendering within their windows settings. So a workaround for the moment would either be to turn cleartype back on or disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox: Firefox's performance settings

Though slow is not really one of the issues associated but is worth a try.

FIREFOX TO SLOW Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Please update your Flash from ver 28 as is security issues Flash Player Version: 29.0.0.113 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
