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.

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.

Noticed that Firefox on IOS was updated about 17 hours ago, so that may explain the current issue. When I open the app on my phone, it will be on the page I was last on, but would be frozen. Cannot add a new tab. Cannot add an address to in address bar. Nothing can be done u til I force quit the app, and then reopen the app afterwards (as long as I give it a couple seconds afterwards). Didn’t have this issue the day before.

Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

On a new laptop with Win11 Home (x86-64) with Firefox just installed, the cache size is 54 MB. When Privacy and Security -> Clear Browsing Data is clicked, Firefox hangs - no input is accepted and nothing appears to be happening. On closing Firefox and then reopening the cache size is reduced and Clear Browsing Data operates as expected.

Why is the cache size (54 MB) so large? Why does Clear Browsing Data hang Firefox?

Recently (past few weeks) I’ve found Firefox on my iPhone (iOS 26.5.2) has stopped loading. I’ll open the app and it won’t load the page at all. It also doesn’t let me reload the page, add tabs, or close tabs. Occasionally it will fix if I click a link from an SMS or something that then opens in the app. Quitting Firefox doesn’t work, restarting my phone also doesn’t work.

When I try to browse the webpage still not show anything or loading about 30-50 Second before start loading. Sometimes it get freeze not show anything need to re-enter url.

Hello, After the last update i keep seeing a blank page when i open a new tab or new page. i tried the troubleshooting mode but the same. i need to refresh every time i open a new page.

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.

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 have Firefox 152.3 (73911) on iPhone with the latest iOS 26.5.2 On Firefox, web pages not showing up when switched between open apps on iPhone.

I can see web pages on Safari.

I have tried safe mode. No joy, but it has shown plain vanilla FF is the issue, not extensions.

(I'm using a different browser to make this report, so Share Data button is of no use here.)
