It takes firefox over 30 seconds to list files in a local location when i first click OPEN to upload a file
If I need to upload a file I click on the OPEN or BROWSE button in the website, Open File dialogue opens trying to list the location it is already looking at, and it hangs for over 30 seconds before listing files. This is windows 11, but it did it when i had windows 10 too. I dont know what to do.

Interesting... Yeah, In win11 there's a lot more going on. Just look at the number of processes running in task manager. When was the last time you cleared windows temp files in the below locations? C:\Windows\Temp C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp
What does task manager look like during this process? Is the processor or c drive busy in task manager? Are your using a M.2 or SATA? I'm running M.2s. Is the upload folder on the c drive or network? What security software besides MS Defender are you running? If you're running Windows Pro version, I would test in the Sandbox to confirm. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/

... but the problem happens beyond firefox, so it's not an actual Firefox problem. Going to windows explorer - Folder Options - and in General, bottom of Window PRIVACY a slightly badly laid out option calle dCLEAR FILE EXPLORER HISTORY and a clear button ... helped a lot. I'll have a look at the TEMP directories cos fact is they will be huge. Thanks
