Things are at a crawl. On another thread here about Win 10 becoming slow, I tried the things suggested from fredmcd with no help. Using Google is fast like Firefox used to be. Just seems my computer has to think and think before things happen. I also have this problem on my laptop running vista. On another computer in house running Win 10 things are OK. Tried to uninstall and reinstall with no help. I thing that all my programs are up to date. Everything is effected like games, email, search, even Mozilla support. When I click, or hover with mouse pointer, still slow in showing what I want. Any more suggestions? Don't get too technical.

One more thing. In Firefox health report, it states "It looks like your browser has crashed a number of times recently." 24 times in within last month with one time showing 17 seconds start up time. Hope that helps. running Firefox 49.0.2. Thanks
