macOS Tahoe; 26.4.1 Firefox 150.0.1

I keep most of my bookmarks under the "Bookmarks Toolbar"; I have quite a few of them.

I've always enjoyed the ease and utility of the "Add Folder..." menu item in "Manage Bookmarks", but now it fails on each and every attempt to add a new folder! For example, if I select a folder under "Bookmarks Toolbar", right click that folder, and select the "Add new folder..." item from the drop-down menu Firefox simply "freezes up" - becomes totally non-responsive (spinning beach ball!).

The only way I've been able to recover is using the macOS "Activity Monitor" to "Force Quit" Firefox! If I repeat the "Add Folder..." process described above - Firefox "freezes up" again. I've tried re-booting, and that doesn't cure the problem.

Without trying to confuse the primary issue, I have noticed other "bad behavior" from Firefox:

  1. 1. Firefox "disappears" from the menu bar regularly. I can get it back by moving to another desktop, and returning to the desktop with my Firefox windows. However, it will disappear again in short order.
  1. 2. Firefox is very slow loading some of the web pages I visit regularly.

When did this start? It started very recently. I have a new (about two weeks old) MacBook Pro. The "Add Bookmark.." issue began only today, but the other issues I mentioned have been around longer.

This is frustrating... I suspect this is caused by Apple's macOS software, but of course have no way to prove that! And in the "FWIW Column": my Chrome browser has basically the same function and interface for adding folders, and it still functions flawlessly.

OK - I suspect that THIS is a problem; maybe not the only one however:

One item I failed to mention: I said this was a two-week-old Mac, but failed to mention that I used Apple's "Migration Assistant" to move everything from an older Mac to this new one.

While "poking around" in the "pancake stack" (menu item in upper RHC of browser window), under my account name I learned that the new computer and the old computer have the same "Device Name" (under Account, Sync Settings).

I tried changing the "Device Name" on the new Mac, but then (after a sync), both old & new machines had the same "Device Name" I had just changed in the new machine!?!?

If someone could help me get this straightened out first - I would appreciate it! Maybe this will resolve the "new bookmark folder" reported above. I guess my "fallback" will be to manually delete all Firefox-related folders in Applications and ~/Library??

TIA
