I recently up-dated to latest Firefox. A cpl. of issues. A) Once I do A SEARCH there is a VERY LONG... MINUTES delay before I can do another - if at all. Before up-dating I could do search, search, search etc. and minimize ea. and keep going. B) Everything on Firefox screen is small and to the left of the screen. Was in center and large enough to read w/out having to enlarge. SEARCHES ARE SLOW. This happens ALL of the time. I appreciate your help. IF you didn't guess... I'm not a puter guru. May have to just go back to straight Google Bummer

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
