Very slow wifi but only on Firefox
Wifi download on Firefox is 100 to 200 Kbps while other browsers are 14 to 16 Mbps. This is a new computer so it is unlikely that malware is the cause. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox with no improvement.

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

I have something like this too. Some sites are loading soooo slow, despite on the same computer in the different browser it is instant
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

After removing the add-on anonymoX, Firefox returned to normal download speed. THANK YOU!
