Multiple websites not working properly with Firefox
Multiple websites including Wall Street Journal, Etrade, Ultimate Guitar Tabs and several news sites are freezing up or failing to load properly. Latest updates on Firefox and Windows 11. I've used Firefox for years but now its becoming increasingly annoying to the point of uselessness and no one seem interested in helping. Microsoft Edge seems to work just fine. Its not as slick as Firefox but at least it works.

If clearing the cookies and cache didn't help, you should check your computer for malware. Certain types of malware are known to target Firefox and can prevent it from loading various websites: If you have an antivirus or Internet security program, update its detections database and do a full scan of your system.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
