Over the past few weeks, any time I copy a link, whether it's an email address or a URL, from within any page while using Firefox, FF will freeze? Pause? not respond.. for 5 - 15 seconds. I've not done a reset yet.. Windows 11, 16GB RAM, 2GB Video, religiously updated and maintained laptop

I have exactly the same problem. What is interesting it only happens on windows 11 (I've checked same Firefox version on the same PC but with windows 10). It is very annoying and I think I will have to temporarily change my default browser until it's fixed, because is often makes my workflow hardly possible.
