Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

The new Firefox 157.0 update has broken pretty much every video streaming website. I've tried YouTube, Twitch, and Amazon Prime Video. In all cases, the same thing generally happens.

Take YouTube for example. The main page itself is slow to load. And when I click on a video to play, it either fails to load or loads but has horrible stutter. When I open up the Firefox Task Manager, every YouTube page shows it's using 100% CPU.

I've enjoyed using Firefox for years, but I'll be moving on to different browser now.

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

Ever since the update to 157 I have been having issues when running firefox. Youtube is non functional on the browser. It is using a large amount of memory (consistently at 41-45% according to the task manager). Gmail takes a long time to load, in fact every page takes a long time to load if at all.

I run it in troubleshooting mode and functionality returns... I don't want to run firefox with all my extensions disabled they are there for a reason.

This update seems to be inherently unstable and is causing issues for lot's of folks.

So just to summarize, the update to 157 has not worked. It is using a disproportional amount of memory, that the previous version did not. It is causing my entire system to downgrade and run significantly slower. Pages will not load properly and I am now using a different browser as a work around.

Essentially it is a huge failure and I wish you would have tested more thoroughly. My experiences are not uncommon... You guys released a garbage upgrade to the browser that has catastrophically under performed.

I do not recollect any update in the past that functioned as poorly as this. Congratulations for completely screwing this up.

When will you guys get this working properly?

fonts.googleapis.com is locking up websites for 40 to 60 seconds per keystroke. I have researched this problem and tried everything suggested, but nothing works. Much of the solutions include changing the settings used on menus which no longer exist. accounts.google.com is doing the same thing. This is driving me nuts. Help!!! Latest version of Firefox. Windows 11 desktop computer.

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, on my Win 11 ASUS laptop, Firefox will suddenly use a lot of resources, such that the temperature jumps from about 50 degrees to 95 degrees and the fan runs full speed. It appears the only way to stop it, is to close FF then reopen. What might cause that?

I also have an unanswered previous question about being unable to pay accounts.

Cheers, Keith

While I was using Firefox, the inspector console window started opening and closing all of a sudden. Whenever I try to click on a different tab that is not the one I am currently on, it switches back to my current tab. This issue also occurs on other Firefox-based browsers, and not on any other browser I have installed.

I attempted to change the theme, I went into Safe/Troubleshoot Mode, disabling my extensions, etc, but nothing changed. I've restarted my computer twice already, and yet it doesn't seem to change anything.

The only way I could temporarily halt it was through holding Ctrl, Alt and Shift at the same time, but this only worked for as long as I held all three keys down. What should I do about this?

Since updating to 152.0.4 on 30 June firefox has frozen multi times a day, nothing is responsive. I've had to force close and restart. I performed suggest hang fixes, refresh, changes places names, turned off accelerations. None of that resolved the issue. I did not have this issue prior to 152.0.4. No crashes, just hangs forcing restarts - but each one forces me to re-enter all my user information for the various sites I'm using. I've see some references of similar issues with others having upgrading to 152.0.4, but there don't appear to be any clear fixes. Is this issue being evaluated?

When my system slows down and takes forever to download, I go to task manager and find 15-20 entries for Firefox when I have only 1 or 2 pages open. Why are they continuing to pile up and slow down my machine and how do I stop it from happening?

My Firefox browser was updated to the most recent version (153.0). And since then, it will always freeze up within a few minutes of me opening it, even in troubleshooting mode. Even if I keep clicking, it’s still stuck and I’m forced to close it.

I did turn off hardware acceleration before, and it still doesn’t work.
