Chosen solution

Another user posted a similar question.

Start Firefox in SAFE Mode {web Link} by holding down the
(Mac=Options) KEY, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

I AM LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION OTHER THAN STARTING IN SAFE MODE. REFRESHING FIREFOX DOES NOT HELP.

THANKS, JOHN

I am also having this problem with almost every web site I go to - including Firefox. Starting in safe mode is not an option for me.

This is a recent issue. Does Firefox need to change its programming?

I'm about to change to a new browser since this slows my work to an intolerable level.

Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off
hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables
add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away,
that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.

I have refreshed firefox twice over the PAST two weeks. I went into safe mode, opened up some progras, didn't really know what I was looking for. I don't understand what this means Quote

as I don't think it applies to me.
Judy,
It is a good idea to have more than one browser at hand.
Internet Explorer
Chrome
Safari
Firefox
Opera
Reference:

Myself, I like SeaMonkey as an alternative for some things. OK - I will try Sea Monkey again - I already had Chrome and Internet Explorer on hand.

I just wondered what this meant tho IT ONLY APPEARS IN FIREFOX WHEN OPENING UP CHARTER.NET FOR MY EMAIL CHARTER DISAVOWS ANY PROBLEM FROM THEIR END

I still don't really know why the message Quote
A web page is slowing down your browser, what do you want to do, wait or stop it
occurs though.Can you please close this thread - and thanks for trying to help. The problem has not been solved, but I want to withdraw it.Quote from: Geek-9pm on September 19, 2016, 05:58:27 PM
Here is a long list:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18900/consumer-antivirus-software-providers-for-windows
Some have free VERSIONS. Others other trail versions. Too many choices. But you must make a choice. If you really can not choose, try:
Microsoft Security Essentials
Is it any true that Microsoft Security Essentials rank last in the list of anti-virus software? As in it lacks the complexity to detect smart trojans and malwares. Any true? Here is some background about MSE:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials
Notice that some big guys were critical of MSE because it gave users another choice in a field they thought overcrowded.

Microsoft's announcement of its own AV software on 18 November 2008 ...Trend Micro claimed that the integration of the product into Microsoft Windows would be a violation of competition law.
So you might expect that Microsoft would not make the free tool very powerful or impressive. However, it does do a good job keeping out malware.
Right now I have it on my Windows XP machine. Works for me.
