I've been using Fire Fox for decades, but lately it is so slow, I thought there was something wrong with my Windows 7 ultimate. I've done full Windows reboot, to no avail. Then I see the internet t hat FireFox is starting to implement AI. I thought that may be the issue, but after looking into it, looks like that isn't an option with my old Win 7 OS. So if that isn't the problem, how can I find out what is bogging Fire Fox down? I keep a watch on my CPU usage, and the usage is going nearly to 100%, when it used to barely go over 10%. When I check the actual CPU usage, it shows as many as 15 or more items tied to Fire Fox.

Is this all a result of continued use of Win 7? I'm planning to move to Linux, but that will take me some serious time and effort. Gerald

I believe this is the correct topic for the issue I'm experiencing.

Since the last Firefox update, I'm now receiving feedback that Cloudflare is blocking webpages from being allowed to open. I use a secure external site for an application that is used.

Yes, I've restarted the server - this is where this issue resides. I have also, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There has been no hardware changes made to this server. The switches and routers are all working, I restarted each of these in the correct order. So I've ruled out my infrastructure as the cause. I've verified all of the Mozilla/Firefox services are started and running. Interesting fact, go back to old school and I can ping the website/page where the Cloudflare issue is appearing. This tells me the site is available outside of Firefox.

Yes, I know I've broken Security within Firefox, just trying to figure out how to get around this issue and still use Firefox. I will turn things back on once I have this issue resolved.

I've added the parent site to the Enhanced Tracking Protection. It only allows me to add the parent site and not any sub webpage, site.com/support not allowed. That did not resolve the issue.

I turned off the DNS over HTTPS. This also did not resolve the issue.

If I am not receiving the Cloudflare webpage, other generic browser pages will return Server Not Found.

I'm not able to log into various accounts, including a special email account.

To even access this form, I've had to go to an unsupported OS, as there were issues even having this form to even load. I will need to go to various workstations to see if they are having the same issue... My thinking is fix the server, I know the issue is here and hopefully the workstations will automatically be resolved.

Some websites are loaded but only showing the XML, that is fine as I can read this. End User, this would be an issue for them.

I prefer to use Firefox over other browsers but I feel my hands are now tied with not being able to access items I use to be able to access. I have had to switch to a much less favored browser to try and work around this issue.

I know this issue has all occurred since the last update was automatically installed, something perhaps I should disable.

Any thoughts or work around?
