I have used Firefox for years as my default browser. The new version of Firefox is slow, hangs, and crashes. I have followed the suggestions found online to fix the problem. No success. I have a 1 year old computer operating on Windows 10. Previous versions of Firefox were not a problem on this machine. Any fixes?

could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there.

if yes, can you please copy & paste this whole section into a reply in the forum and see if the following fixes the performance problem: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.
