If this is true it explains some of the results that I am having on 3 out of 4 computers. This has eliminated AV interference and points to the new Windows Defender Security Center and the upgraded Firewall as the culprit behind the slow behavior of FireFox.ĭoes anyone know if the new update (Creator's Update) contains a new Firewall engine? Some of the other forums that I am treading on state that Windows Defender and the other embedded security products are powered by MS Endpoint Security engine. On a test computer that I just setup with Windows 10 without Defender, just the Firewall running by itself and FireFox is delayed just as with Malware Bytes, Avast Free or MS Endpoint security. Here it is showing seven different processes for a single desktop app ‘Firefox (7). The Firefox multiple processes may vary from users to users. On the third computer I have Malware Bytes Pro - free trial running w/o firewall, so Windows Firewall is in control and FireFox takes 20+ seconds to open, then another 5 seconds to connect to the FireFox start page. Go to ‘Processes’ tab and Click on ‘>’ sign before Firefox. On one computer I downloaded Avast Internet Pro for $19.99 for a year (special offer) and restarted it and now FireFox on that computer loads in less than 3 seconds! On the other computer I removed AV support, enabled Windows Defender, and after rebooting I found that it had installed Windows Endppoint Security, and now FireFox won't run at all.
