v54 32bit is way slower than the previous version. Why?
FirFox has always been my favourite but v54 is too slow to use, especially if I have more than 4 tabs at once. This was never an issue with the previous release and Chrome, Opera and Midori are all perfectly fine on the same PC. Even IE is much faster!

Note that Pocket is one of the built-in extensions that are installed automatically and that only show on the Help -> Troubleshooting Information page and not on the about:addons page.
You can disable Pocket by moving the Pocket toolbar button to the Customize palette. That should remove all Pocket menu entries.

Suggest try turning/disable of all your Extensions and try Firefox with all off. Make sure all Extensions are up to date.
Slowly start turning each one back on will browsing then turn on another.
This will determine if one of the Extensions is to blame or not. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

When multi-process windows in Firefox is enabled then Firefox will use more memory and may be less responsive. Try to disable multi-process windows in Firefox to see if that has effect.
You can disable multi-process windows in Firefox by setting these prefs to false on the about:config page.
- browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
- browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
You can open the about:config page: via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
Checking the extensions I found that in one list Firefox showed the presence of 'Pocket' while it was absent from the "about:addons" list (I had installed Pocket in a previous release, didn't like it, uninstalled). So, unable to remove Pocket again, I examined the extensions with IObit's Uninstaller, which found and removed the remains of Pocket.
At the moment, I don't know if that has made a positive difference.
Concerning "about:config", browser.tabs.remote.autostart was already set to false and I have set browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
Again, I do not know yet if these changes have made a difference, time will tell.
Thanks very much Pkshadow and cor-el for your help, much appreciated.
