Firefox Community Forum

I have noticed for some time when I access Facebook the site reacts very slowly and hangs up frequently. When I access Facebook on the Chrome browser I don't experience the same problems. So, it appears my Facebook issue is a Firefox browser issue. Can anyone please help and explain how I can improve my Facebook experience while using Firefox. Appreciate any help. Thank you.

When firefox is loaded and as high as 13 can load. If go to task master and search for firefox it shows 13. If I try to delete 1 file all are deleted. If I delete firefox and try to add it again it says I already have firefox loaded.

I am a user and not good at using all sort of commands etc

I don't know when it exactly happend but arround 3 months ago my Firefox is on the verge of dying anytime i open a new TAB it takes about a min to be funktional again which is a pain!

before that time Firefox was quick never hade these problems before! A friend of mine has the exact same problem as i do.

honestly will not read the awnser on this post but i just want to make sure its on the Board

After updating to Firefox 153.0.1 on my 2026 MacBook Pro Silicon running Tahoe 26.5.2, my Firefox sidebar refuses to open, either by toggling the menu bookmark sidebar icon or pressing the shortcut keys.

Firefox hangs when Thunderbird is open. At this moment, Thunderbird is not open and Firefox is hanging on opening any web page. I had to use Chrome to get to this site and request help. Here is info about my PC:

Since the last update 155.01 I can't use Firefox as it freezes and hangs after 3 - 10 seconds. On Windows 10 , 64 bit. There seems a bug with the last update for Windows 10 users

Crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/c0455e29-69e9-4030-8b03-fdf430260909

Not sure the crash report is related to the issue.

The same issue happens to all of my 3 Windows 10 PCs since the update from today.

I have uninstalled Firefox and downloaded again, but same issue happens again.

I cleared the cache also but to no avail

How can I use Firefox again?

I'll be on a page, maybe Facebook, the NYTimes, Amazon, or really any site, and suddenly I find I can no longer scroll, or otherwise navigate the page. I usually have to refresh the page, not so great an option, if I was in the middle of doing something, and and then it'll work OK. I shouldn't have to be doing that, and wonder why pages will just freeze up like this.

MacOS, M2 2023, fully up to date firefox.

Sometimes I'm using firefox and it just stops loading pages, internet is fine. Other browsers work. I look at my activity monitor and nearly 100% of my 32GB of ram is being consumed by various firefox processes. A lot of those processes seem to be associated with youtube. This problem usually, but not always, is resolved by restarting firefox. But this shouldn't be happening. I have a lot of tabs open sometimes, but it's not that excessive. And most certainly not 32GB worth and preventing my computer from doing a google search.

If there's a debugging thing I can do to post system logs, let me know and I'll post them next time this happens. I'll be away from my computer until early July, so around that time.

An 8 second delay when I open Firefox for the first time.. Once it has been opened once, it reopens immediately when required. The problem has been present since I installed Linux Mint 9 months ago, Linux Mint 22.2 then, since upgraded to 22.3 Zena. I can live with it, but it is very frustrating! I have tried the obvious things like removing extensions, but I suspect it is a "Linux" connectivity problem rather than a "Mozilla" problem.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Support Team,

I have been a loyal Firefox user for many years because I have always appreciated its speed, privacy, and reliability. However, I have noticed that Firefox has become slower over time, and I am disappointed with its current performance.

The browser feels increasingly sluggish during everyday use. One of the biggest issues I experience is with YouTube, where videos often do not play as smoothly as they should. I also notice that Firefox consumes a significant amount of RAM, even when only a few tabs are open, which affects the overall performance of my computer.

I sincerely hope the Firefox team will prioritize performance optimization in upcoming updates. Many users, including me, want a browser that is fast, lightweight, responsive, and efficient with system resources. Speed and smooth performance are some of the main reasons people choose a browser, and I would love to see Firefox become the quickest browser again.

Please continue improving memory management, reduce unnecessary resource usage, and optimize YouTube and other modern websites for a smoother browsing experience.

Thank you for your hard work and for listening to user feedback. I hope future releases will focus on making Firefox faster, lighter, and more responsive.
