Firefox recently been unable to load large emails from Comcast/Xfininty. It siezes up and has to be reloaded, often says a site is slowing it. Refreshed, no joy
Firefox has been having a lot of problems recently. One is that I get a frequent message that some site is causing it to run slowly, prompting me to stop it or wait. It also prompts me to fix it by refreshing it, but that hasn't worked.
Sometimes (but certainly not always) that problem occurs when a large email comes up from Comcast/Xfinity, e.g., one with a lot of pictures. That completely freezes Firefox and I have to reload the page and delete the email without trying to load it to avoid the problem.
The problems seem to be getting worse. Even trying to fill out this page caused the browser to freeze repeatedly.
Thoughts or suggestions?
