My problem is just the slow switching over multiple tabs in Firefox. Each time I go to another tab it takes a while (sluggish), or you can say the ‘click’ on the tab takes time to happen. The rest Firefox is working perfect in speed. Don’t know how to solve it, followed all the steps on the MakeUseOf Firefox Speed Up Guide, still having same problem.

please help me

You can also try to create a new profile and copy/overwrite important personal data from the old profile, if the new profile is fast. Please note that you may have to install the add-ons later.

You could be right, but the experience could also widely vary between users. If you have a security software please also try giving full access to Firefox and its processes. You can also try to open the same web sites and the same number of tabs in the browsers and check after creating a new Firefox profile.
