Every 1 - 2 hours Firefox stops loading pages and I have to shut it down and restart it and restarting takes around 6 clicks on the icon to get it to start.

Also one time today I lost all my pinned tabs and had to manually restore them one at a time.

Using Ubuntu 24.04.2 and latest Firefox. Cleared cache but doesn't help.

Also Firefox isn't keeping all my bookmarks, I had over 300 and now less than 200 are left.

It's getting worse, every few minutes now I have to shut Firefox down and restart.

No response here and no solutions, Firefox has gone to sh!t I will be trying another browser soon.

It is now every time I open a new tab or try to do something like list an item on eBay, just selecting a different category and I have to shut down and restart.

I'm done with this piece of crap browser, it used to be the best, no longer, it is the worst.

What desktop? X11 or Wayland? Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
