Performance and Connectivity

I am experiencing significant performance problems in Mozilla Firefox when using certain AI-powered tools. Below are the specific issues: 

   Flux AI & Diagramming AI Performance Warnings

       Issue: When accessing Flux AI or Diagramming AI tools, Firefox displays a warning message stating, "This site is slowing down Firefox."

       Observed Behavior:

           Delayed response times or freezing when interacting with these tools.

           High CPU usage (observed via Task Manager) when the tools are active.

       Expected Behavior: Smooth operation without performance degradation, as seen in other browsers (e.g., Chrome or Edge).

   CMS Sign-Out Failure

       Issue: Unable to sign out of my Content Management System (CMS). The action either freezes or refreshes without logging me out.

       Troubleshooting Attempted: Cleared cache/cookies, disabled extensions, tested in Safe Mode—issue persists.

   ChatGPT Menu Error

       Issue: Clicking the three-dots (⋮) menu in ChatGPT triggers an error instead of displaying options.

       Error Context: Mentions "Flux AI," suggesting a possible conflict or integration failure.

Your post has been truncated on the right margin - AI do that? How old is your system? What version of Firefox? If AI is giving performance critique of your software I'd say either follow it or drop it - Firefox developers work to keep it as up to date as possible but they can't do it all. Maybe you need a super computer - good luck.

1. **Update Firefox**: Ensure you're using the latest version of Firefox, as newer updates often fix performance and compatibility bugs.

2. **Disable Hardware Acceleration**: 

  Go to `Settings > General > Performance`, uncheck **"Use recommended performance settings"**, then uncheck **"Use hardware acceleration when available"**.

3. **Create a Clean Profile**: 

  Try creating a new Firefox profile to test if extensions or settings are causing conflicts. Visit: `about:profiles` and create a new profile.

4. **Allowlist Sites in Enhanced Tracking Protection**: 

  Go to the affected site, click the shield icon near the address bar, and **turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection** for that site.

5. **Check for Problematic Extensions**: 

  Even in Safe Mode, some system-level software can interfere. Temporarily disable antivirus/web filtering software to test.

6. **Use Firefox Developer Edition**: 

  It may have performance improvements not yet released in the stable build.
