Firefox not responding

I'm unable to do much with Firefox now.

Chrome works fine. I'm using it (unfortunately) now in order to contact you.

When using FIrefox, it starts and does some partial loading, but then stops responding. On the default Firefox startup, about 1/2 of the "thought provoking story" pictures load. If I go directly to Youtube, for example, again....it starts loading then "hangs".

I can't close Firefox either: the window closes, but it's still running. If I attempt to restart it after closing, I get a "Firefox still running" error (which also won't close it.) Windows task manager will shut down the 5-10 (it varies) Firefox processes.

Tried checking for updates. That also gets stuck trying (let it try for about 10 minutes). Don't see any "reinstall" option.

Tried "Refresh Firefox" (fails....Firefox won't close). Tried "Clear startup Cache)" (same) Tried "Troubleshooting Mode)" (same)

Should I delete it and download again?

Omg! I finally fixed it.

Deleted & downloaded a few times.

On the last attempt, I skipped the "auto restore" options.

Now it's working again. Thanks for all the help....uh....

  • pats self on back* Well done, ol' chap!

AAAAAAA!!!! Okay, I thought I fixed it. Worked for a while before hanging again. Delete & reinstall fixed it (again, skipping the auto restore options).

But damn, I'm not doing this every day.

Well, looks like delete and download is the last option.

Gone through a bunch of help pages (very confusing...and I'm, at least, semi-computer literate, though not a pro.).

ONLY Firefox is failing, and for "no apparent reason". I didn't change anything. (No installs or even superficial settings changes.) Perhaps Firefox's auto-update did?

Incredibly frustrating.

If it doesn't work....bye bye Firefox entirely.

Meh.

Deleted.....kinda. Apparently Firefox leaves stuff behind after being "deleted". (As apparent during the next step....)

Reinstalled.

Run and..." Firefox Privacy Notice -- Firefox Not Responding"

So, perhaps someone would like to recommend another browser. Something like Firefox...but, ya know, that works.
