Firefox 36.0.1 is very very slow. Refreshing and re installing it did not help. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have refreshed and re installed Firefox 3 times as well as scanned my hard drive with Norton Internet Security for viruses. Nothing worked. Firefox 36.0 and 36.0.1 take about 45 seconds to start up. I have been using Firefox for many years and never had a problem until about a week ago. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Connie2

Philipp: I turned off Norton Internet Security 21.6.0.32 and re started Firefox and Firefox worked like a charm. So the issue is definitely Norton. Now to contact Norton. Thanks for the help and quick reply! Connie2
