As the title says -- I can no longer save images or download files without Firefox locking up. Whenever I do, the window grays out, the cursor's "busy" animation starts up, any videos playing in Firefox at the time grind to a halt, and I have no choice but to close Firefox when the "This program is awaiting a response from you" error message pops up. Whatever I'm trying to save will get saved to my computer, but Firefox always freezes up.

I've tried updating Firefox, resetting Firefox, restarting my computer, clearing my download history, changing the download folder, running troubleshooting mode and a private window. I even tried downgrading from 137.0.2 (64-bit) to version 136.0 out of desperation, and even that didn't solve it. I'm running Windows 11 Home, and this problem has only started happening in the last few weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to request a feature enhancement for Mozilla Firefox that would greatly improve the user experience, especially on lower-end or older hardware.

Currently, whenever I open Firefox after closing it, it takes about 2–3 seconds to launch. In comparison, Microsoft Edge opens almost instantly due to features like Startup Boost and background mode, which allow it to keep essential processes running even when the main window is closed.

I would love to see similar functionality in Firefox — such as:

An optional "Startup Boost" feature to keep Firefox running in the background for faster launching.

A tray icon mode that allows Firefox to stay running in the system tray instead of closing completely.

A setting to allow background updates or session prep on startup/login.

These additions would make Firefox even more competitive in terms of performance and convenience.

Thank you for your continuous efforts in maintaining a privacy-respecting and open-source browser. I truly appreciate your work.

Best regards, RIYYAN AMIR
