Why is Mozilla Firefox so slow? It drives me nuts.

Why is Mozilla Firefox sooooo slow? It's driving me nuts.
And why can’t it ever connect me to my email on the first try?
And why does Firefox need to be rebooted so often?
It's all very frustrating.
Please respond.
Thanks

I took my computer in for cleanup yesterday and the tech told me not to resort to using safe mode, he uses Chrome and said all the features in these files need to stay there. He says he thinks Firefox needs to do some tweeking on their end because he's had so many people complaining of how slow it is. The newer the version, the slower it gets. Maybe if they quit adding so much junk you don't need, like the earlier versions, but can't download them anymore. So I'm doing like my technician and jakfak are doing, NOT using Firefox until they fix it. Chrome is my baby now.

Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their web search if Google stores everything we search?

Why does Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you search and track what you do online? I've got nothing against Firefox, I'm just wondering why.

I just figured they wouldn't have since they don't track what people do. I figured they were against that.

Why does Mozilla Firefox Yahoo permit Astromenda to attack PC's

Every time I download Firefox, I get this viral adware malware on my PC. And I spend hours getting rid of it. Why doesn't someone stop it?

Why are you using Mozilla Firefox Yahoo, rather than the official version of Firefox which is available directly from Mozilla?

Why does mozilla firefox randomly launch by its self in windows 7

When the PC is idle Mozilla Firefox suddenly opens with me clicking on anything. The operating system is Windows 7

Are web pages opened when this happens?
Does this also happen when you set another browser as the default browser or is the other browser that is set as default browser opened instead?
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Why does Mozilla Firefox open to a previous session?

Whenever I launch Mozilla Firefox, a session from a little more than a week ago opens up. Usually it opens up to my homepage. Now, it opens up with 8 tabs. They are: my Yahoo mail, my Gmail, 4 other Google sites, and an Amazon site.
How can I put a stop to this?
Thank you to any and everyone with a suggestion.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Why is my Firefox browser slow all of a sudden?

All of a sudden, my Firefox browser is extremely slow. I did not change anything nor did I download any software.
It takes me some time to go to web pages and such. What can i do?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Why does Mozilla Firefox display white colour checkered in yellow?

The browser displays white colours as checkered. And clearly it is not an issue of wrong backgound - checs change when I scroll a page up or down. I've tried reinstalling Firefox but nothing changed. What may cause the problem?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
You can also try to disable color management. 
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management. 
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

Why isn't Firefox accepting my graphics driver version?

I am trying to get Firefox 11 to turn on hardware acceleration, but it's complaining that my up-to-date driver is blocked. "about:support" says "Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer."
I'm running XP SP3 fully updated and a GeForce 7300 LE with the latest driver version 296.10.

If you go into about:support, can you copy the exact text that appears in the graphics section? (or take a screenshot).
