Firefox just keeps getting slower and less responsive. I've cleared the history etc and run my Avast cleanup premium which helped a little, but the other browsers just put it to shame. I hate to switch because I love the user interface, but............ its just frustrating. Windows 11 latest updates.

Do I need Firefox 78.0.2 (x64) and Firefox ESR (x64)? Also I noticed I have noticed a very slow startup. I have an old Dell Vostro 460 PC. I also did a Task Manager and noticed five Firefox process. Can I shut some of these down?

Thanks, Irv

Firefox has been running incredibly slow. I currently only have this window open, but if I open my task manger it shows 10 Firefox windows running. If I right click and end task, it will end the task, but shortly there after a new one will pop up. 1 of the is running in efficiency mode. I assume this is what is slowing down performance, but I do not know how to fix.

I updated firefox just yesterday or earlier today idk and the right click menu is so long with multiples of the same and they DO NoThInG! Linux Mint 22 Cin. 6.8.0-55 Generic Kernel

I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo on Ubuntu 24.04, Gnome desktop. My Firefox browser window regularly freezes but can be unfrozen by simply repositioning the window. This is really annoying.

I also use Chromium on the same system and there are no issues.

Any ideas?

I have a new desktop i7 computer with 16 GB of RAM. Why are my Firefox browser screens locking up? I'm running Windows 11 Pro. I don't have this problem with Chrome.

My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

I have a new computer with Windows 11 Home Edition. After setting it up and installing Firefox 133.03 32bit. Webpages will load, but i am unable to click on anything on the pages and anything occur. I have Windows 7 on my old PC and Firefox 133.03 64bit and have no issues whatsoever. I was getting javascript errors, but went in and enabled javascript. This did nothing to change the issue.

Ever since I got 133.03 my Dell cpu freezes a lot. Over the last hour it froze 15 times. This is terrible reliability.

I hired Dell Tech Support and they checked my software and there were no issues. I have run advance Norton features and there are no problems. Therefore the issue is NOT with my 20 month Dell computer.

Firefox has always been reliable until late August. For four weeks it would freeze and lock up. by the end of Sept it was slightly better and then fine in November. Now it only freezes, put the mouse over the image and it freezes. Play with it for a while and it unlocks.

I am totally fed up with Firefox. I'll be starting my taxes soon and year end things and can't afford to have all these issues and rebooting to help eliminate the issue.

When is Firefox tech support going to help me? When is Firefox going to fix the issue? After Christmas I am looking into the Microsoft software......enough is enought!

You have done it again by freezing Firefox in a dormant state after a new version get installed - please STOP this madness!!! How do I 'refreshen' this new version of browser??

I have used Firefox for years, but now it seems to be having problems with connectivity with both team meetings and zoom. Awful problems with meetings freezing or loss of connectivity.

Tried to click on Firefox today and browser wouldn't open. So i uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same result. I'm guessing the browser is no longer available for Windows 11 and they're going out of business.

Dear Sirs,

For at least the last two weeks, I have experienced a lot of trouble working with Mozilla Firefox. Just reading my emails is an arduous task.

It crashes, I lose internet connection, it does not "respond," etc., and Symantec Norton 360 cannot find out WHY! I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it, and it is still unreliable.

Before I have to resort to using another browser, can YOU tell me what is going on. I have a Dell desktop, using Windows 10 Pro (obtained in 2018). Firefox is my default browser. I also have Google Chrome installed.

Please help!

Sincerely yours,

Background: I have Firefox on a brand new Thinkpad X1 Gen 11, running Windows 11. I have used Firefox with multiple Google accounts on an older machine for 5+ years. That machine is running Windows 11 as well.

Problem: I cannot add multiple Google accounts in order to access Gmail, Drive, etc. I have added the first, my personal account. When I select "Add another account" from the menu icon in Gmail website, it takes me to the add account page. As soon as I try to highlight the name of my personal account, it freezes and the only option is to shut it down. To be clear, this is trying to add a Google account when browsing, *not* trying to create multiple profiles in Firefox. I have refreshed, reinstalled, and searched for a solution. What is going on?
