Slow, hang, 'FF not responding" since FF update 56
Since update (s),FF is unresponsive and slow. Windows 8.1. 64 bit. I've tried all solutions to no avail- safe mode, refresh, clear cache/cookies etc. updated to 56.3 today and browser is worse. I've been forced to go back to Chrome-AAUGH !-any help greatly appreciated. Not a techie-please reply in language for dummies.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

What security software do you have?
It is possible that your firewall or other security software 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 install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
