y46.0.1 not loading pages, website boxes unresponsive, slow - firefox not admitting their problem; blaming users
Win 8.1 HP laptop. Firefox 46.0.1 not working -> Websites not loading - blue circle runs while page does not load;
unable to use website button to, for example, "add to cart"; youtube running slow, videos stop in middle on 30mb/sec connection; wunderground.com takes more than 20 seconds to load, if at all - could not access tornado warning info the other day!
Mozilla not fixing problem and not admitting the problem exists - explaining problem away as user error. Users are reporting that this is not a user problem. Mozilla research suggested a "Refresh". Mozilla DID NOT WARN ME ABOUT REFRESH!. I lost thousands of websites/sessions stored in Session Manager, plus all my add-ons are gone.
Hate to, but will have to move to new browser if this not fixed in a few days...
