Since updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Loading webpages is very very slow How can I fix this?
Firefox is v slow loading pagess, so slow that sometimes they never load, though they appear to be continuing to attempt to load.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

No real success. Firefox works, but very slowly. If anything Firefox works marginally better when removed from the list of exceptions!
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar
Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
I regret to say Firefox is just as slow, if not slower
