Hi whenever I use my Google account to sign into websites (Google, ebay, YouTube, & anyother sites,) Firefox will become unresponsive, the window containing the tab i was using becomes unresponsive, sort of. - I can't click any open Firefox Tabs, - the red 'Close' radio button is greyed-out, so I can't close any tabs or the window - right-click is unresponsive, so i can't close tabs that way, but Command-W closes the tabs normally, but the others are still unresponsive.

- i can open a new Firefox window (with &/or without Tabs,) which works normally.

- & unrelated, but earlier, Firefox was running really slowly, Youtube videos were slowed down, but audio was normal, and scrolling was slow.

It seems you're running Nightly. Could you mention the version (or build/date) you're using at the time of each report please?

Also you seem to be on an older macOS — do you have all the latest system updates applied? (Ventura in general was one of the less fortunate versions in many aspects, so I'm wondering if your experience won't improve with upgrading further…)
