ALL of my Browsers are running *SLOW*. So if it's not just Firefox. Does anyone know what's going on? I've even tried re-installing the Network on this computer. And it's NOT my Router because I'm the only one having this problem!!

I know this site is for Firefox, but I've been asking everyone, everywhere...

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 21.0.0.213 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.616

What security software do you have?

It is possible that security software (anti-virus, firewall) is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
