Boss just got me a new work computer, and it does not run Mozilla well. Anything related to flash or if the website I'm loading is heavy on pictures, mozilla runs EXTREMELY slow. Internet explorer runs fine, but I refuse to use it. Please help!

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
