running windows as a standard user (no admin) makes firefox slow. Do a "run as admin" resolves the problem.
Running windows as a standard user (no admin) makes Firefox slow. Do a "run as admin" resolves the problem. Scrolling takes 3 seconds to respond and eventually the thing just stops responding.
it happens with just 1 tab open i created a new empty profile and it's the same. i had httpseveriwhere and ublock running, but disabling them dosn's help. firefox isn't logged in to sync. it uses about 200 MB of ram.
More info to follow.

hi, thanks for reporting this. could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there.
if yes, can you please copy & paste this whole section into a reply in the forum and see if the following fixes the performance problem: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.
