OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with all the latest Windows updates installed; running Windows version 23H2. Firefox release I'm having problems with: 137.0.2.

Just upgraded to release/version 137.0.2. The first time I open Firefox each day it takes about 2 to 3 minutes for ANY website to load. Sometimes when a web page does eventually load none of the images display.

I have tried same websites using Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge. Websites don't have problems loading using either of those 2 browsers unless I have Firefox open in another window. If they load slowly, as soon as I close Firefox, web page load quickly in Chrome or Msoft Edge.

Not a RAM problem because I typically have around 20% of my RAM being used.

Did not have any of these problems using Firefox version 137.0.1.

UPDATE: Thought maybe it was one of my add-on/extensions so I checked for updates. Four needed updating. Made the updates and website still no loading properly.

When I paste an URL in the address bar with Ctrl+V and then press Enter before releasing Ctrl, the page is opened in a new tab. How can I disable that? I want it in the same tab. (If I release Ctrl and then hold it again before pressing Enter, it opens in the same tab already.)

This button that looks like a jig saw bit will not budge.

Can I delete this in about:config by deleting the 'unified extention button' and can I delete the 'HKLM/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Mozilla/Firefox/Extensions' in the registry?

Firefox these days is getting a burden with more info and such like being collected behind out backs, it's about to be ditched on all my computers, the last few episodes make me want out.

I'm using Firefox 136.0 (64 bit) on my laptop

Up until now, I've had no problem with filling in online forms, specifically Amazon Returns in this case. Now I find that all goes well until a page appears with a selection of drop-off locations from which to send the return. Pressing the appropriate button just leads me to a blank page, with no message, no matter how many attempts I make, even after a re-start.

Not knowing any better, I wondered if this was to do with the pop-up blocker, so I gave the website address as an exception to the blocker, but nothing has changed.

The form was successfully completed when accessing it from my wife's ipad mini, so I conclude the error somehow lies within Firefox.

I also have found that on some websites where pages should show images, I'm left with just a blank space.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.googleadservices.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

I want to get rid of all of them and if there's a setting to stop them showing up in the first place I'd use it.
