Opening a new empty tab is very slowly with the spinning wheel (about 10 to 20 seconds). With no other tab opened. Closing a tab also takes about more than 10 seconds (empy tab, no other tab).
Can not open web sites : almost every times nothings happens. But sometimes it works.
Firefox process has tenths of child processes which are <defunct>
What I have tried :
- Remove all configurations files (see list below)
- Install a fresh Firefox
- Restarts the computer (MacBook Pro Intel)
- Launch Firefox
That means that I have an empty profile, no external module, no account synchronisation, no history, no bookmarks, zilch, nada ...
Repeated the previous procedures several times the last few months. With :
- Mac OS X Ventura 13.5.1, Firefox 117.0 and Firefox 119.0
- Max OS X Sonoma 14.1, Firefox 119.0.1
- Mac OS X Sonoma 14.1.1, Firefox 120.0
- Mac OS X Sonoma 14.2.1, Firefox 122.0
Firefox has a normal behaviour for a few days after each system upgrade. Then the problems comes back.
Other browsers (Chrome, Safari) works fine and smoothly.
But ! TorBrowser, which is built on Firefox, encounter the same problems.
Configurations files that I delete :
- ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.crashreporter.plist
- ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
- ~/Library/Caches/org.mozilla.firefox
- ~/Library/Caches/org.mozilla.crashreporter
- ~/Library/Caches/Firefox
- ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox
- ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.mozilla.firefox.savedState
- ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.mozilla.updater.savedState
- ~/Library/WebKit/org.mozilla.firefox
- ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox
- ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla
Can not find anything to try.
Any idea ?
