One of the most pronounced issues in Firefox is that it takes five minutes to write a sentence of an email in an AOL. It freezes intermittently. I open Edge - and it's lightning fast.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
