    Thanks. There was no change to firefox, but it fixed another annoyance with the right click menu being slow inside folders *Biggrin

    Get a copy of GeekUninstaller (portable) and run it. https://geekuninstaller.com

    Find Firefox in the list of programs and double click it.
    Choose yes when deleting profile data.
    Allow it to scan for leftovers.
    From the results list delete everything directly related to the Firefox Program installation or application data.

    Reboot when finished.

    Run Cccleaner if you've got a copy. Check here for Firefox leftovers and delete if found:

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Press the [Windows key+R] to open a Run dialog, type in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ and click OK to open the Mozilla folder, then delete the Firefox folder if found.

    Reboot.

    Download a fresh copy of firefox and install it.

    Run this every few days:

    Download SpeedyFox - MajorGeeks

    Or use this setting in Ccleaner:

    If that was a clean installation wiping the drive and installing windows starting from scratch then it's not a Firefox problem.

    If you upgraded windows then for sure some old firefox elements could still be the problem.

    Well in that case it could only be a hardware issue. I wouldn't know how to diagnose that. Maybe suspect graphics card or something.

    Other option to test. Grab a copy of this:
    Hekasoft Backup & Restore Download
    Use it to backup your current FF Profile. Save profile backup to a handy folder:


    Firefox Slower to Launch in Windows 10 [​IMG]

    Then download a copy of my profile backup - see attached. Unzip to a new folder on your desktop.

    Close Firefox.

    Run Hekasoft Backup & Restore and restore to my profile Mozilla Firefox Test.zip and see if you still get the problem.

    Use it to restore Mozilla Firefox Test.backup from file.
