I also have the same issue. There is definitely a problem with v. 36.0 AND 36.01. I have reinstalled v.35.0 and there is now no problem. Load times are back to 2 secs. MOZILLA PLEASE SORT THIS OUT.

Try enabling hardware acceleration. You can do this by clicking menu>options>advanced and then check the box that says enable hardware acceleration when able. You can also try refreshing Firefox by resetting add ons. I would just write down your favorite add ons and try that, I just did it today and it was very noticeably faster.
Have a great day!!

did both before posting question neither made any difference
Try enabling an new HTTP cache. To do so, enter about:config into Firefox's address bar and press Enter. Search for the browser.cache.use_new_backend flag and double-click on it. Change its value from 0 to 1 to enable the new cache. ... Close about:config and continue browsing—no need to restart or anything.

does not work get The address isn't valid
This about:config works on Firefox on my laptop but on my Surface were I have the problem I get as I say above "The Address is Invalid" and cant get to the config page

thanks for the info about version 35 reinstalled that version now all is fine
Same problem - reinstalled 35.0 and ok now.
Except it automatically updated to 36.01 again - Changed my update options and re-re-installed 35.0.
