After I downloaded version 56, it takes a long time after clicking on a file or site for it to respond, and sometimes it states that Mozilla is not responding, then after 15 seconds it responds. Also the scroll bar on the right side takes so long after clicking on it to move. I had Dell look at it, and they stated maybe it is the site, but it is doing this for alot of sites.. I have Windows 10 and am under dell contract. Also when I try to download a video to Free Downloader Manager, I click right hand side of the mouse nad it does not show download with FDM anymore, like before.

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.
