I used to love Firefox. For years, Firefox has been my primary & exclusive browser. But, in the last 6 months or so, Firefox is CONSTANTLY & CONSISTENTLY freezing on me. Here is the guaranteed & predictable pattern: Everything is working well for an hour or so and then suddenly, for no rhyme or reason, the program freezes. I close the program (because it's not responding, so says the error message) and I immediately reopen Firefox and things are fine for another hour or two...and then it happens again & again & again & again!

It just happened again while I was in the middle of an important work project & I AM SICK OF IT. I loved Firefox so much, I have spent hours & hours, over many weeks and months, reading about the problem and trying ALL the recommended fixes--to no avail. NOTHING has worked. Don't ask if I tried this or that because the answer is yes, I tried it. And it is happening to me on multiple computers. (I use two computers simultaneously, a brand new Windows 11 and an older Windows 10 computer.) It's getting to the point that I am starting to use Chrome more and more because I can use Chrome (or any other browser such as Edge or Maxthon) without problem or incident. But old habits are hard to break and I keep returning to Firefox (being the fool I am) & because I have Firefox tweaked to my specifications especially with passwords, etc. I have very reluctantly and unhappily removed many add-ons thinking one of them might be the problem. But, as I said, nothing has worked. And yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, turned off hardware acceleration, did your registry tweaks, bla, bla, bla.

I am writing mainly to vent. Because I have tried ALL THE FIXES without success, I have no confidence that you can solve what appears to be a common problem. But, of course, if you think you can help me, give it a whirl. Otherwise, I need to dump Firefox for good. Thank you letting me share.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
