For the last 2-3 weeks, the browser has been freezing when opening new tabs. This doesn't happen all the time, but the same tabs can open correctly or the browser stops working when they are opened. The work stops for 10-20 seconds. The browser does not respond to clicks, but if you press the Win key, the window turns bright and "not responding" appears on top of the frame. I was trying to solve this problem on my own. I ran it in safe mode, disabled hardware acceleration, updated drivers for the integrated graphics and discrete graphics card, disabled all extensions, created a new profile, reinstalled the browser completely - none of this helped, the browser still freezes when opening new tabs. I also cleaned the download history, changed the proxy settings, and disabled Windows Defender. What else can I try to do to fix the browser?

i used firefox version 144 or 148 and it frequently become whitescreen "but when i put or move my cursor hover, it becomes reload the page again. but it's annoying error bugs

fonts.googleapis.com is locking up websites for 40 to 60 seconds per keystroke. I have researched this problem and tried everything suggested, but nothing works. Much of the solutions include changing the settings used on menus which no longer exist. accounts.google.com is doing the same thing. This is driving me nuts. Help!!! Latest version of Firefox. Windows 11 desktop computer.

When I leave FF and open it again after some time I would get a black screen and the app would not show the content on the current page or query a new search for several seconds which gets annoying when doing multitasking

I have a poco X7 pro if that matters

Hardware acceleration is turned off. Firefox does not show the GPU usage in task manager (which is very worrisome in its own right) but when watching a single stream twitch.tv my GPU usage is 60%~100% (which only shows on the GPU tab of task manage). If I close firefox, the usage returns to 0%. The usage also becomes 0% when the stream is not the active tab.

I believe this is a recent behavior change as I noticed it due to it causing games to have low FPS. The excessive usage is also present with only firefox running.

This is happening on a 7800x3d, RX 7900 XT and 32GB of ram.

I also tested on youtube and found it to be using 10% less gpu on average but after while it settles down to ~30% usage.

If I enable hardware acceleration, Firefox uses the iGPU at ~50% usage and still uses 50%~60% of the dGPU. Performance of videos doesn't seem to change whether hardware acceleration is on or off (where as on chrome there is a very noticeable difference).

Used Chrome for sanity checks and it does not affect games FPS while using on average half the GPU usage of Firefox. Chrome also reports it usage in task manager correctly.

I suspect Firefox may be calling GPU encoder\decode hardware incorrectly and always using hardware encoders\decoders regardless of the hardware acceleration setting.

Since updating to 152.0.4 on 30 June firefox has frozen multi times a day, nothing is responsive. I've had to force close and restart. I performed suggest hang fixes, refresh, changes places names, turned off accelerations. None of that resolved the issue. I did not have this issue prior to 152.0.4. No crashes, just hangs forcing restarts - but each one forces me to re-enter all my user information for the various sites I'm using. I've see some references of similar issues with others having upgrading to 152.0.4, but there don't appear to be any clear fixes. Is this issue being evaluated?

When using Gboard speak to text in the Firefox address/search bar, it stuck writings after two or three words. Using the same Gboard speak to text on any other browser (Chrome, Samsung Browser, Edge, etc), works perfectly. That said, I assume it's a compatibility issue between Firefighter and Gboard. Same feature on Samsu keyboard works fine. Any idea to fix the issue?

While I was using Firefox, the inspector console window started opening and closing all of a sudden. Whenever I try to click on a different tab that is not the one I am currently on, it switches back to my current tab. This issue also occurs on other Firefox-based browsers, and not on any other browser I have installed.

I attempted to change the theme, I went into Safe/Troubleshoot Mode, disabling my extensions, etc, but nothing changed. I've restarted my computer twice already, and yet it doesn't seem to change anything.

The only way I could temporarily halt it was through holding Ctrl, Alt and Shift at the same time, but this only worked for as long as I held all three keys down. What should I do about this?

I am facing a recurring issue while browsing websites on Firefox. This happened even before the latest upgrade. Only it is worse after this last software upgrade.

After using the browser for 1–2 minutes, the browser gets stuck or becomes unresponsive. While scrolling through websites, the full page does not load properly, and parts of the webpage suddenly become blank. In many cases, the existing tab cannot even be refreshed. I have to close the program, wait a few minutes and reopen. Very frustrating. I have been using Firefox for many years and this is the most unstable I have ever seen it. Browser Version: [151.0.4(64-bit)] Operating System: [Windows 11]

Looking forward to your support.

I can see web pages on Safari.

First, I press fullscreen mode on any video on the firefox browser. Second, when I enter fullscreen mode the pop-up that notiifes me that I entered fullscreen mode appears but it takes multiple minutes to disappear.
