Hey there! Recently I was using Firefox, but now I’m stuck with Internet Explorer (which is really frustrating). The issue is that even though my system is pretty strong compared to others, Firefox runs very slowly. It takes a long time to open new tabs, web pages load slowly, and videos often stutter. Sometimes it freezes completely, making it hard to use. Here are some tips that might help: -Adblock Plus, Battlelog Web Plugin, the NVIDIA 3D Vision features (even though they’re off), plus my plugins. -My system uses about 5-10% of CPU power and takes up 300-600MB of RAM. The reason I didn’t switch to Chrome was because Google stopped supporting NPAPI plugins, which the Battlelog plugin relies on—so I couldn’t install it. Now I’m using IE. Please help! Also, my screen flashes black for a moment... Should I reinstall my drivers via GeForce Experience? Thanks!

Check the options in both the advanced settings and the general tab to turn off "Use hardware acceleration when available." It could improve performance. If not, consider checking Firefox support for more details.

Open the menu option > Help > Troubleshooting Info. Then press "Refresh Firefox" to reset everything and launch Firefox from scratch. Also, check your web browser for any installed plugins and consider removing or disabling them.
