Everything is sloooooowwwww. Even keyboard. Just ran anti-virus and malware scans. INTERNET EXPLORER WORK ING FINE!! Therefore, I don't think it's my computer. Since switching to Firefox - I like it better. Would rather fix Firefox than switch back to Internet Explorer. Have been getting "scripts" messages occasionally - but this terrible slowness started suddenly 2 days ago.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
