i am beyond frustrated with how mind-bendingly slow as a dog is
firefox on my fully-updated F26 system. eg, i go on twitter, want to
just post a tweet, sometimes takes several *seconds* just to finally
get around to responding to keyboard strokes.
is anyone else seeing this? i am seriously ready to dump firefox
simply because it has turned into such a worthless piece of crap. what

Some possibilities:
Your configuration is allowing a lot of third party communication to
slow down page loading. Typically pages load ads before content, and
if those ads are delayed, the content looks like it is slow to
deliver. A neat trick to use is ad nauseum instead of an ad blocker.
Your ISP is rationing bandwidth. Do a speed test,

There is a DDOS attack occurring somewhere on the path between you and
your chosen website that is slowing down your communication speed.
