Firefox Performance Since Version 145

Problems have arisen since upgrade to version 145:

1. There are massive accesses of the hard drive.

2. The email system for charter.net is putting out sporadic errors "Something didn't work quite right. Please try again."

I know the problem is with Firefox because when I do the same thing using Google Chrome there are no issues.

Hi there,

Those are two different issues. I'd appreciate you posting a separate question for the first one (with more details if possible).

Regarding the second one, please follow the steps below and see if they resolve your issue:

  1. Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield Fx89ShieldIcon icon at the left of the address bar.
    • If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
  2. If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
  3. If it does not help, also try clearing cookies and data for the website you experience troubles with (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
  4. If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode.

Looking forward to your update!

I'm not at all sure about what details you would like regarding the hard drive accesses. When I'm using Firefox the hard drive is going like crazy, when I'm not it isn't.

I made the other changes and will see what that does.
