Firefox is extremely slow only for Yahoo email, no problem using gmail, aol. mail.com, and others. Tried the usual fixes (refresh/resetting Firefox, cleaning computer, etc.) to no avail. Using Windows 10, all updates installed. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

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