Firefox 35.0.1 Windows 7 Pro 64bit, RAM 4GB, Intel Core i3 2.27 GHz, GeForce 325M

I have a big problem with firefox performance. I have reinstalled my Windows few days ago and install all proposed updates. FIrefox is working very slow, it is hanging when I'm "scrolling" the websites, websites are loading slow, each operation (changing the tab for example) get effect after some time, the delay is visible. When I use Explorer everything works perfect. No hanging, quick response for click. Problem is not a virus because as I mentioned I have a clean system, anti virus is up to date, system is working good. Only Firefox have problems. Refreshing firefox did not helped. Let me know if you need more info. I will gather them.

Try enabling hardware acceleration when available. You can find this in Settings>Advanced>General and then there will be a check box that says enable hardware acceleration when available. That may fix your problem.

Have a great day!!

Have you tried uninstalling some plugins/addons. You can also try Ccleaner. There may be some bad registry errors.

I have Refreshed the firefox what restores the factory defaults. This did not helped as well. I think that CC clener is not the case as I have fresh system. Please bear in mind that problem appeared (I think) after installing a big package of Windows updates and that the Internet Explorer is working very quick.

@forgottengods, sorry I didn't saw you advice about fixing registries. I did that, there were few missing/broken registries and I fix them, but problem is still not solved. Any other ideas?
