Stopped Using Firefox..very slow connecting since 3/5/15 update.
Connection speed to common sites such as U-tube has at least a 45-second delay opening the website, then there is more buffering to open the U-tube feature. Believed to have started since a 3/5/15 update. I am aware that Firefox has stopped using Google as it's default search engine in favor of Yahoo. I have been using Google as the Firefox search engine for years. Tried the Yahoo search engine and its even slower. I am now using Google Chrome and it is EXTREMELY FAST, so I don't think there's anything wrong with my Win7 Professional operating system. Initiated a Firefox Refresh from the Mozilla website, but no help with the Firefox 36.0.1. Will keep trying Firefox from time-to-time, but right now, Google Chrome is my default search engine.

If you'd like to try giving Firefox another go, there are a few things we can do that will speed it up:

- Update your graphics driver. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

- Make sure Windows is up to date.

I hope these help! Also, if you want to use Google as your search engine in Firefox instead of Yahoo, it's easy to switch. Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox
