Firefox takes forever to load pages or download from websites. Why?
For the past week or so Firefox has been taking forever to load webpages,load email and download games. I have re-set Firefox on a few occasions with not much difference. The only two things I have done to my computer (which is running Win8) was to update to FF28 and to update the driver for my computers processor and that is when it seems that the problems started. I have very few add-ons.Mainly pop up blockers and a don't track me add on. Any suggestions on what I can do to spped FF up? Thanks

Try to disable your Firefox and Antivirus and check it out.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
