Long time Firefox user here - been on from the start (about 2005), and don't want to switch because I love some features like the Panorama View extension, Context Search extension etc, and it's always been a great browser.
Recently though (not sure if it's just recently, or I've only just noticed), it's so slow. I tried a brand new profile, no extensions, no settings changes, and it's the same. Example loading times:
bbc.co.uk/news Firefox: 14s Edge: 2s chess.com Firefox: 19s Edge: 4s chess.com play vs computer Firefox 38s Edge 2s

So it's not my profile settings or extensions.
BUT, I tried it on a different user profile on the same computer (Switch User from the Windows Start menu), and it's fast!
Why is this, and what do I need to do on my user account to speed Firefox up (keeping my same Firefox profile)?
Thanks in advance.
