I just manually updated to windows 10 1903 from i think version 1803 a few days ago since for some reason it didn't show up in settings when i checked for an update. So I went to Microsoft's website to manually update. Ever since the update, only Firefox will hang. I have been using Firefox for a year now on this laptop which has 16gb ram and i7 processor, with around 600gb free storage on the hard drive out of 1 TB. Firefox always worked just fine until i did the manual windows update, now anything i do, whether scrolling, switching tabs, clicking something, will cause Firefox to lag and hang for several seconds before going on. Usually when i start up, it is just fine, then after about 5 minutes once i actually try to do anything, it starts the hanging. i notice that my computer fan sometimes will kick on almost exactly when the hanging begins as well... Google chrome works just fine, but I really don't want to switch browsers since I love Firefox and have all my bookmarks and logins on it, and I dont want to go back to a previous windows version. I have tried every single step in all the trouble shooting guides posted here, and nothing fixed it. Any help?
