During approximately the last two weeks I have experienced problems with Firefox. 1. On Facebook, sound would abruptly stop working. Had to kill browser and start over. Worked fine in Chrome. 2. On AOL email today (7-15-2021), login hangs and don't get display of mail. Worked fine in Chrome.

Anyone else knw about this?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

If there is still a problem,

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
