Hello everyone!
I have been experiencing some problems recently with Firefox:
1. Upon startup of the browser, my computer completely freezes for about half a second and then it's all fine. It's just when opening the browser, even after a full restart of my computer.
I have opened Firefox in safe mode (Holding Shift when opening and clicking "Start Safe Mode" - the browser still freezes my computer but does it later than if it wasn't safe mode. So instead of it happening the moment google loads normally, it happens roughly 1-2 seconds after it loads google.
2. Firefox has way too much CPU usage for no reason.
This one as well is baffling me. I have a screenshot of Firefox when I just open it and let it sit with Kongregate.com and Google.com open for 10 minutes. https://i.imgur.com/zfkHdnt.png
When I start up Firefox in safe mode, it's fine! I have low RAM usage and CPU stays around 2% usage. But I can't have that the entire time and I'm hoping there's something you all can help with.
When I visit other sites like Imgur, Yahoo, or Youtube, Firefox freezes or slows to a crawl. But it's weird, you're able to click on each tab, but the actual top part of the page is frozen such that you can't see which tab you're on and eventually it stops you being able to go through each tab and have to End Process through task manager.
The add-ons I have enabled:
Adblock Plus /
Ghostery /
HTTPS Everywhere /
LastPass /
Low Quality Flash /
NoScript /
SQLite Manager /
Stylish /
VTzilla /
XMarks
I'd say flash, but that's a plugin and doesn't get disabled on Safe Mode.
I have tried disabling each item separately and none of them individually are causing the problem. Safe Mode disabling all of them fixes it, but what's the point of a browser without add-ons?
I have tried these things from other sites:
browser.cache.memory.enable - Boolean True
browser.cache.memory.capacity - set to 24576
config.trim_on_minimize - set to True
All doing nothing to fix the problem of course.
Browser:
FireFox 50.1.0 - I'm not able to update past this version as it breaks everything I play. Any flash games become jagged and unable to be played normally. I've tested each version up to 56.0.2 and none of them are as stable as 50.1.0 for flash games.
System Specs:
Windows 10 Pro /
32 GB RAM /
Intel i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz CPU [quad core dual thread] /
256 GB SATA SSD
The browser never crashes so I don't have a log to post for this.
Thank you for all your help!
