Firefox is not working properly since latest update. Do you recommend using Google Chrome instead?

Firefox freezes with yellow bar at top of page reading: "A web page is slowing down your browser... Wait? Stop it? What can be done. Nobody replies. Feeling lost and lonely and DISAPPOINTED WITH FIREFOX. NOW ONLY USING GOOGLE CHROME.

Hello,

The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.

To Refresh Firefox:

  1. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    • If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
  2. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
  3. Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Nope. I already tried everything and have read all the answers provided for this problem. None fix the issue. I keep getting the same message: "A web page is slowing down your browser..."

Try to disable accessibility services in Firefox.
