Recently, my Samsung A23 5G started freezing when closing tabs. I only started having this issue since Firefox updated to a new version with a new UI. I am currently on 147.0.3 on both devices. I load one tab, close it, load another, and then it usually freezes on the next close. Clearing the cache often allows me to go a couple more tabs without freezing, while simply closing Firefox still usually has the limit of two tabs before freezing. I usually just press "close app" when the "Firefox isn't responding" system box comes up. I've restarted my Samsung phone but the issue persists. My new Moto G Stylus 2025 doesn't freeze, but Firefox still feels noticably slower, especially when closing tabs.

I've uploaded three screenshots. The first one shows how it freezes while I close a tab, while the second shows how Android's "not responding" message comes up. The third one shows the current version on both of my phones.

Technical issues After update. I have two computers both of which some problems since the latest Update in February. The microphone won't work on certain apps. One of my extensions are operating as expected and Firefox is not closing all the way or so it's reported. When I go to open up again a new session, it says it's already open but not responding. I have the option close it and then starts right up.

Starting about a week or two ago, I noticed the text of Firefox is grainy. But when the cursor moved, it would get grainy in a different way. So, some letters which were previously unreadable became readable, but other letters became unreadable.

Going to the same web pages with other browsers renders the page readable. So, the problem seems to be Firefox specific.

Even while typing this, portions of the characters on my screen blink in and out.

If there is no solution, I will have to utilize some other browser.

Thank you,

I on MacOS and I'm facing this issue last half of the year. As usual mac book user, I have many WIP items on my laptop, so I don't reload my laptop every day, even months it can leave without reloading.

So, after a workday I just closing it and come back tomorrow. When I back to the work and want to open new tab: Jira, Gmail, LinkedIn any other tabs - FireFox just keeping in loading state. In comparison, the Google Chrome that opened as well all the time but with fewer tabs, open the same links in seconds.

I though the FireFox is not latest version, and updating or re-starting of it, sometimes helped me to fix the issue. But now it seems stopped work either.

So, after a 5 years on FireFox I'm seriously started about my migration back to Google Chrome. I'm not sure that you can help me in this forum, but at least I would like to hear you option. Maybe anyone else have seen such behavior also and FireFox could find the issue

I recently got a new laptop with Windows 11 Pro. I installed Firefox from the Mozilla site. When I click to open Firefox, it takes a long time - 41 seconds to be exact. I uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted my computer. I cleared the cache. I tried to run as administrator. Not sure what else to try. As I wait for it to open, it reads "not responding" in the search bar area. Any ideas?
