Windows 8 Has anyone in the U.S. noticed this in Firefox 34.0.5 ?

Has anyone noticed that since Firefox 34.0.5 has come out and they switched to Yahoo, that it's gotten slower when you first open it before you can do anything. I know it isn't my internet connection as I'm getting results anywhere from 50.72mbps to 50.76mbps. on speedtest.net.

Yes....I quite like it. It has a bing look/feel to it.

You can change it. In the search box, move your mouse over the magnifying glass and you'll see a little arrow show up. Click that then a new window pop up (change search settings) click that and make any changes you desire.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. One of my roomates cut my AT&T internet service wire yesterday. AT&T just fixed it. I'll look into changing it from Yahoo to Bing later tonight and see if it speed's up the original Firefox load time when I open it. I already have all the speedup tweaks done in about:config. PS. Those about:config tweaks had to be re-done after moving from FF33.** to FF34.0.5.

**SOLVED** Forgot to mention before, my long time to respond was due to one of my roomates cutting my AT&T U-verse internet wire on Sunday. AT&T fixed it Monday afternoon and landlord is serving said roommate eviction papers.
