Hello, I used to love Firefox, now it has become extremely slow, so I have to use Chrome, what have you done to Firefox
Using Firefox 53.0. I have only mobile internet. Firefox is very slow and frequently hangs for seconds. This is a recent phenomenon. I have to use Chrome, and it works satisfactorily. I would prefer to stick with Firefox. You are not going to do a Yahoo Messenger and kill a brilliant product are you?

Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
Flash Player Version: 25.0.0.148

As to the slowness (if the above has no effect);
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?
