firefox 52 esr is slow on my machine to load all pages
firefox 52 esr 32 bit is slow on my machine to load all pages. Downloaded the Firefox 52 64-bit version and same problem. This is not an issue with Fireforx 31 esr. It is also not a problem with other browsers such as IE 11 and Chrome 63. I have already tried a "Refresh Firefox". Some other users in my company do not have this problem, so does not seem network related. Any help appreciated.

Hi jbhatnagar,
Sorry to hear that. Could you try disabling the hardware acceleration feature? You can check the step-by-step here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration#w_turning-off-hardware-acceleration

I navigate to menu --> options --> general and i do not see a performance section? I am on Firefox 52.5.3 64-bit.
One observation. When I restart my machine and start using the browser initially it works fine. Then start seeing a performance hit over time. Restarting the browser does not solve the problem. Restarting the machine helps.

Sorry! I misread that you're using ESR. Try these steps, please:
- Click the menu button and choose Options.
- Select the Advanced panel.
- Select the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Restart Firefox.

Neither of the suggestions above solved my problems. One observation is that this problem seems to start when I go to a meeting and am on wifi and then comeback to my cube and am plugged in. Immediately start seeing the problem. Even if i toggle my wifi i.e. try to work on wifi or try to work hardwired, it does not solve the problem. Restarting firefox also does not solve the problem. Restarting the machine does solve the problem. And it is on Firefox 52 ESR and 64-bit version both that I have this problem. It does not happen on Chrome or IE.
Could you check for any malware/virus? I'd recommend this software: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
