When I run Firefox, it runs really slow. Pages take a long time to load, scrolling is blippy, and videos from all sources are blippy. If I leave Firefox open for a long period of time, it get extremely slow, and sometimes crashes. This happens even if I have only one tab open. When I use internet explorer everything runs quick and smoothly. I tried turning on/off hardware acceleration in Firefox and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a 6core 3.5gh processor with 16 g of ram. When I run Firefox it takes up very little cpu usage.

hello, for diagnosing the issue it would be good if you could tell us something about your addons & graphics hardware too. please go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information and copy the section about extensions & graphics and paste it into a reply here.

as a first troubleshooting step you could also launch firefox in safemode and see if the problem is persisting there too. thank you...

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
