I am having a problem with Firefox on Linux Mint. Firefox has completely stopped responding. Even the buttons like close, back, refresh, or menu do not work. The whole browser has become frozen. Shutting down or restarting the system doesn't work.

Firefox version: Mozilla Firefox 151.0 My system: https://termbin.com/s387

My mouse (wheel) only works on the portion of the page that is currently visible; it will not scroll down the rest of the page. This problem began after 151.0.1 update just a few days ago. It works correctly in other applications such as word or excel. It also works correctly with other browsers, so it is definitely something in Firefox. Any ideas?

Why Does Firefox Memory Usage Suddenly Spike?

I was doing some work, when suddenly everything slowed, I checked my Activity Monitor, and it showed Firefox at nearly 20 Gigs of RAM & about 30% of CPU usage! I opened the Task Manager, and it only showed Firefox using 2 Gigs, and 25% of CPU. After a few minutes, the memory usage just as suddenly dropped down to the 2 Gigs as shown in Task Manager, and things seemed to be back to normal.

Why did this happen? I did nothing that would cause a spike, didn't open any new videos, or other high memory usage pages, or applications. I have seen FF showing a similar 20 Gigs of RAM usage, slowing everything down, several times recently, and wonder what could be causing these sudden spikes.

Hi there,

I am on a MacBook Air M3/8GB ram. I was really wanting to use Firefox due to your stance on privacy, etc. but here is my experience:

Yes, I keep a lot of tabs open - I do try to group them and hope that tabs in closed groups are deactivated, but I don't know this at all.

If I use Firefox all will seem well until my machine sleeps. On waking, it is excruciatingly slow - we are talking multiple seconds to even switch tabs or get the cursor to be "hot" when filling a form. Upon trying to quit (restarting being the usual first step), FF will ask confirmation and then close the windows, but will not completely quit, requiring me to force-quit. On restart it seems to behave again, at least for a while.

While I do see some evidence that others have this issue (memory leak?) there are no real methods or answers as to how, if at all, to fix this. It took a lot to get everything on FF working the way I like after leaving Chrome, but I really can't deal with this, and I think I will be looking at switching again - I guess to Safari.

I would love to know how to fix this, but really I don't imagine this is due to my system as much as the FF browser. That said, if you ahve any ideas, I would be open.
