Preferred Firefox for most of my online use in my 82-year career in the ICT space - why has it deteriorated so badly? Am using Chrome for now, works perfectly, doses not freeze up my browsing or simultaneous use like Word or outlook. Should I abandon Firefox and switch to Chrome permanently?

When starting Firefox after a PC startup or restart in Windows 10, Firefox will lockup and exhibit a "Not Responding" message. Windows will then show a "Close Program" or "Wait for the program to respond" choice. This happens on any of my machines, Windows 10 and 11. It's to the point of wanting to uninstall it. After it finally loads the first time it loads fine on subsequent loads.

First the laggy, extremely slow issue was just noticed on YouTube. Now I notice it on Rumble and other sites. For now, I have to abandon Firefox and use an alternative browser. I've stayed with you for years. Maybe it's time to part ways. I really like your browser. But, it has become nearly non-functional for me.

My Desktop - Win10, 260+ Gigs RAM/14+ TB HD space Firefox updated a couple of days ago, and again today (this time to 155.0.1) Ever since . . . . . . Having Major problems NOW No Rt-Clk function in Ff Ff menu buttons non-functional Ff tabs can no longer be rearranged Data entry fields, dropdowns, Submit buttons, & "add to cart" buttons not working on Ff pages -Things I've tried; I rebooted Ff & Windows several times each - No Joy I cleared Ff startup cache twice - No Joy HELP! I use Ffox for roughly 85% of my online activities - I'm pretty much hosed

PLEASE HELP!

latest update seems to have broken firefox 155.0.1. It opens but then becomes unresponsive. Two different PC, both win 10. How can I revert to previous?

I can not get extra info from troubleshooting page cause FF won't open so as to be used.

Since the last update 155.01 I can't use Firefox as it freezes and hangs after 3 - 10 seconds. On Windows 10 , 64 bit. There seems a bug with the last update for Windows 10 users

Crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/c0455e29-69e9-4030-8b03-fdf430260909

Not sure the crash report is related to the issue.

The same issue happens to all of my 3 Windows 10 PCs since the update from today.

I have uninstalled Firefox and downloaded again, but same issue happens again.

I cleared the cache also but to no avail

How can I use Firefox again?

My hardware is low end from 2016, Pentium 3825U, HD Graphics, and 4gigs of RAM. In the old times, the browser was fast, but this year it has slowed down so bad. I needed to switch to Thorium browser because Firefox became so heavy, using too much RAM and CPU. Please make the browser light, fast, and good for old systems again! (I want to use Firefox back)

Hi a few days ago I updated my firefox version 155.0 well I had 3 open tabs going back to and forth to different sites. when the update firefox popped up, I mistakenly hit update & a notice said firefox is attempting to save these sites, I closed the notice then shut down my laptop,

I never take a update with any thin running. when I turned on the w-10 lap top seem to take awhile to load, so I let it load, and then I shut it down completely. I went to task manager and my read write on my c: drive was running at 100% for about 15-20 minutes. I went to firefox settings and re-set "cache at startup"

This seemed to help some, but still not sure if it is locked in a loop, looking for those those saved files.

I am 80 now and not a pc savvy as I was. not sure what the normal time the c drive for read write should stay at 100% after starting my laptop, I know there is indexing going on, but I thought it would be done by now. after. Thank You Gary Kouri

i have tried anew profile got a the newest version and it still does not help i guess the people doing the updates have no idea how to fix the issue or care none of you can really help all the idea you have had i have tried and still i get the same Firerfox running but not responding' guess you will force me to go to chrome instead which does not do this nor does Edge so you can not tell me it is not a firebox issue because neither Chrome or hedge with by the way all the same desktop icons i have had for years work

I log in get a dead home window cannot delete , no response to cursor have to use task bar icon to overlay dead home screen. when return to home scree I get the dead old window and use task bar icon to get live home screen to continue. The dead home screen appears and have to select firefox from task bar each time.

i have said many times that i keep getting Firefox running but not responding . i have contacted many places and complained had some of your r tech try and help now with the new update i am still getting it yet i was told it would be fixed. i have reinstalled i have removed and shut off some add ons cleared cache all but cookies and still i get it funny until the last 2 new versions i never had this problem it is a Firefox problem not mine. i would have thought you would have fixed it by now

Updated Firefox to 154. When I select Firefox, I get a notice that Firefox is already running. If I cancel, Firefox comes up but I quickly get a notice that Firefox is not responding. I tried refresh but that didn't fix it. If you don't have an answer, I'll de-install and then (maybe) reinstall. -JJM

i was just opening a page and it kept saying Firefox running but not responding and then i gt the photo i am showing you what is it and why see photo being downloaed by another insrtance ??

So I know these websites are kind of crap anyway, but I have issues with scrolling bsky.social (and other clients for it like witchsky) and twitter. The further into the timeline I get, the more frequently these webpages lag.

They begin freezing every few seconds for a few seconds, during which they queue left or right clicks, page up/page down, and various other commands, only processing them once it unfreezes. Firefox itself still works during this freeze, e.g. opening the main menu. Also, I can still scroll up or down to a limited degree, though this just exposes empty, unrendered webpage until it unfreezes.

bsky.social has had this problem for a long time, but twitter only recently developed this issue after I had to do a cache clear, cookie clear, etc. trying to log in a few weeks ago. Prior to that it didn't have this issue.

Task manager hasn't really helped elucidate what's wrong, so it might be an about:config that I set or even an unruly extension, but I really don't know what to try.
