Why won't Firefox work anymore?

brownlowthomas replied

Starting on Wednesday, 8/19/26, Firefox ceased working on my Windows 11 computer (it still works on the Windows 7 computer). One possible problem is the 1Password extension I added recently. However, it worked for a few days with the extension with no problem. The other suspect is a change to Firefox. On Wednesday morning when I opened Firefox there was a message that I could now stream games directly on Firefox. It has never worked since I got that message. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get Firefox up and running again?

So you got that message and what happened next?

Sorry for the long delay to reply. I'm only on the computer intermittently.

First, a clarification; I'm on Windows 11 not 10 as I stated incorrectly.

When I opened Firefox, instead of going to my home page a page with the message came up. I tried to go to my home page but couldn't. I had to exit Firefox. I don't recall if it happened that time but in later attempts - which resulted in Firefox not loading completely or, this morning, loading but being inoperable - I get the message that Firefox is not responding. Sometimes I can exit by closing the window. Most often I use control - alt -delete. In that case I can sometimes just close Firefox, other times I get a message that allows me to chose to "refresh Firefox." That will strip all the extensions.
