Are you talking about how fast Firefox is responding, or are you complaining about a slow download speed?

How fast Firefox responds. It seems like the window crashes, because It takes a long time to let you choose If you want to save or open the file, but It doesn't show any signs of crashing.

Also, I downloaded the developer edition and I didn't have this problem there.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

Yes, the problem is still there. I found another thread discussing this problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1517101

I think i have found a solution there.

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Give it a few days. If the problem is gone, then post what you did and mark that as Solved Problem.
