Just refreshed yesterday - got another "slow" msg suggesting refresh again today. Using Version 39.0. It is VERY slow to do anything but other apps are normal.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.


Note that you can disable warning if you want to keep using your current profile by setting the browser.slowStartup.notificationDisabled to true on the about:config page.
