Fresh install slow to load
So ever since upgrading to V32, my first load is almost 4 seconds long. I tried resetting FF, did all I could find online, and on this forum. What I did next was to completely remove FF, including every folder and setting I could come across, in available, and hidden folders, and then restarted my computer. I then downloaded and installed a fresh new version, and without any add-on, I am still experiencing the same problem.
Any ideas?

What are you talking about? Load what? When? What is it?
Load = starting Firefox. When I start it, it takes 4 seconds or more, during which the screen is blank, with only the application frame showing. No toolbars or anything else.
Firefox, and its extensions, take time to load and get settled. Four seconds is not long. See if you can find a preloader for macs.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
This would make sense if this was consistent on both my computers, but it's not. I have been using Firefox for many years now, so I do know the effect of extensions. On my home computer Firefox loads instantly with extensions, on my brand new XPS it loads rather slow with no extensions, ever since the upgrade.
