115esr hangs specific to certain pages, must close and restart, Problem started 11/22/2026

The problem of hanging on specific web pages but not always in the same place greatly increased 11/22/2026 running Firefox 115.38ESR under Windows 7 so I suspect that it is due to some widespread update and a new esr update is needed. 115.43.1esr did not help. Sometimes it happens while loading a page, sometimes when attempting to scroll the page and sometimes when entering data into a field.

Hi

Please appreciate that the version of Firefox that you are using is quite a few years old and only gets vital security updates. Windows 7 is no longer supported and has not been for some time.

I strongly recommend that you update your device to the latest versions for security and stability.

The occurrence of the problem seems to coincide with publicizing a php security bug affecting 70% of all websites and urging an immediate patch, so I suspect the security patch has something to do with it. I have no idea how easy this is to fix but it seems more urgent than anything else in the esr. A little experimentation with chrome dated 1/23/2023 shows that it does not hang but sometimes can't complete a page either.
