Why is the new firefox so slow, despite the bragging that it is the fastest version ever?

The new firefox version installed itself automatically on my computer. It has slowed and created many click and other problems on my computer. I have done everything you suggest on your website, such as refresh, and have removed and downloaded it many times, but the problem persists.

See if you can find updates for your Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 as they are old : driverDate: 8-5-2015 You can Google Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 and find the download page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81496/Intel-HD-Graphics-4600, but you may have to know what generation chipset you are using. CPU-Z would tell you this https://www.cpuid.com/ Can also try : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html I do not see any errors in the drivers. Old & corrupted Drivers cause a wide range of issues. Please keep them updated to prevent issues and you never know when Intel will stop supporting them.

Go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Help ? --> Troubleshooting Information Page and take a look in the Accessibility section if accessibility is set to "true" there. if yes, go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
