I have started firefox in safe mode. Have disabled all add on and flash and this has not fixed the problem. Firefox is terrible after the latest update.

After the latest update firefox is very very slow. I have tried absolutely every fix on your forum including starting in safe mode and disabling everything and nothing has worked. It took me 15 minutes just to type in this question to submit to you.

hi daudlikn, 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.
