Firefox Latest Release Sometimes Doesn't Load Websites or Loads Extremely Slow

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.)

I want to 'Import bookmarks, passwords, history, and autofill data into Firefox' - from an Extreme SSD, used as a Time Machine on my iMac.

I had to do a clean install on my iMac = due to a problem with the latest OS system update Sequoia. And have so far been UNABLE to import either 'Passwords from CSV file' or Bookmarks from HTML file'.

Thank you!

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.

My bookmarks and favicons keep disappearing. Yesterday they disappeared, so I rebooted my computer and the bookmarks came back, but not the favicons. I had to click on each bookmark to get the favicon to load, but even that didn't work on each one (and no, I am not going to click on every single bookmark I have, that would be ridiculous!). This has happened several times this month. I was hoping the last update would fix it, but nope, still happening. Currently using 137.0.1

Every now and then, Firefox downgrades itself to version 121. In order to change it back, i have to update it to 127.0, and then to 137.0.1. After doing so, a couple hours will pass before tabs stop loading, and i have to close Firefox and open it again, for another error to show saying i was using an older version, and i need to update. this sends it back to version 121. The errors i get, I've attached !! There's also a troubleshoot data thing, not sure how that works though.

I have tabs that I can see using resources in the about:processes view but the value in the name field is something like "Firefox (8748)" or "https://fooSite.com". If I have a lot of tabs open, which I always do, it's not clear which one is causing the issue. It would be great if there was a way to show the url that is loaded so that one can quickly choose to stop it, reload it, or close it. Yes, the X action sort of let's you do that but you still don't know exactly which tab you are xing and it's only a kill switch for the tab in the end; there's no choice to resolve the issue by just reloading the page in the event of some video element that is consuming gpu for some reason. It might be a tab that I want to keep around. Making a little more meta data available so that a user can easily track down the specific tab would be great. Imagine I have 70 windows open... Yes, probably a corner case but it's the way I roll.

In the recent update, my add-ons/extensions from my toolbar menu were removed. The add-ons are listed and active, but I can't select them in my toolbar menu as I need them because they are not showing. Is this an update change or a setting change, or do I need to do something to restore them? When I look at the Customize toolbar settings, they are not listed there to add to the toolbar.

I also looked to see if I had a previous profile to load, but it is not showing any.
