I'm experiencing an issue with the latest Firefox update. If I refresh a link/page the browser "spins out" in a rapid endless refresh cycle. In some cases, I receive an error message, "too many requests," and in other cases, the browser "locks up" and quits responding at all.

Is this a known issue?

FF can take 30-60 seconds to render ANY page after waking the computer from sleep. Windows 11 fully up to date. I've taken a profile during this time and you can see memory cycling up and down about every 5 seconds but I'm unclear what else I'm seeing there. I also see very little network traffic in the profile. I typically have 6-7 tabs open, and other programs on my computer, e.g. email, are not showing this lag.

I get REAL tired by the amount of resources Firefox eats up with each open window. For whatever reason, having multiple windows open prevents Facebook from loading. I'll get 1 story and a "shorts" bar but THAT'S IT. Even clicking the story to rate or comment does nothing. If I start to delete windows; it will decrease the memory usage and then it will open.

However, I DO NOT WANT TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS IN ORDER TO OPEN FACEBOOK! Firefox should not be eating up that many resources. The open windows are of text and/or picture archives. There is no sound or video playing in the multiple windows open. My system literally has 128 gigs of ram memory so it seems very odd to me that Firefox is using between 11-13% with nothing running in the 15 windows I have open.

Youtube playback causes Firefox to freeze up. Just the tab that is playing, not the entire browser. I have reinstalled firefox, used recommended settings and I have no addons or extensions. Other browsers work fine and there is nothing wrong with my computer. It is only firefox. This has been happening for about a month now.

MacOS, M2 2023, fully up to date firefox.

Sometimes I'm using firefox and it just stops loading pages, internet is fine. Other browsers work. I look at my activity monitor and nearly 100% of my 32GB of ram is being consumed by various firefox processes. A lot of those processes seem to be associated with youtube. This problem usually, but not always, is resolved by restarting firefox. But this shouldn't be happening. I have a lot of tabs open sometimes, but it's not that excessive. And most certainly not 32GB worth and preventing my computer from doing a google search.

If there's a debugging thing I can do to post system logs, let me know and I'll post them next time this happens. I'll be away from my computer until early July, so around that time.

I've done recent updates (May 2026) and after having 3 updates in recent months, I still have difficulties with my video programs (both Zoom and "One-click) slowing down during my work which is 100% virtual. How can I revert to an earlier version where this was resolved, please!!??

Performance issues with Mac

Hi there,

I am on a MacBook Air M3/8GB ram. I was really wanting to use Firefox due to your stance on privacy, etc. but here is my experience:

Yes, I keep a lot of tabs open - I do try to group them and hope that tabs in closed groups are deactivated, but I don't know this at all.

If I use Firefox all will seem well until my machine sleeps. On waking, it is excruciatingly slow - we are talking multiple seconds to even switch tabs or get the cursor to be "hot" when filling a form. Upon trying to quit (restarting being the usual first step), FF will ask confirmation and then close the windows, but will not completely quit, requiring me to force-quit. On restart it seems to behave again, at least for a while.

While I do see some evidence that others have this issue (memory leak?) there are no real methods or answers as to how, if at all, to fix this. It took a lot to get everything on FF working the way I like after leaving Chrome, but I really can't deal with this, and I think I will be looking at switching again - I guess to Safari.

I would love to know how to fix this, but really I don't imagine this is due to my system as much as the FF browser. That said, if you ahve any ideas, I would be open.

On a random basis, sites like msn.com, yahoo mail or outlook.com will freeze. Sometimes they may suddenly come back to life, but the normal fix is delete tab and restart tab. Long videos may also freeze. Have cleared history, and changed optimization setting but nothing helps. On 151.0.2 64 bit.

Since latest update when trying to view pages with artwork on them I get a message that the page is slowing down Firefox and asks me if I want to stop the page to speed up the browser. I do not want to stop the page so I click the X, but Firefox refuses to load the pages at all anyway! I can no longer view many sites due to this issue. Please get rid of this awful code! Thanks.

Kubuntu 24.04 with various Firefox iterations including 149.0.2. It happens on stand alone, snap and flatpak versions. I do not know what triggers this problem. As far as can tell it only occurs on Wayland and not on 'X'. .... After using Firefox normally for a while I first notice the problem when I can't click into the separate search box on the toolbar, then I find I can't drag the tabs around as per usual. Then, if I click on a toolbar icon it does not respond. In summary, the toolbar becomes inoperative. I do have 9 pinned tabs but I can often have many more standard tabs up before I ever notice the problem and, today, when it occurred I only had 3 additional tabs up. So, I can't tie the problem to the number of tabs.

For the last 2-3 weeks, the browser has been freezing when opening new tabs. This doesn't happen all the time, but the same tabs can open correctly or the browser stops working when they are opened. The work stops for 10-20 seconds. The browser does not respond to clicks, but if you press the Win key, the window turns bright and "not responding" appears on top of the frame. I was trying to solve this problem on my own. I ran it in safe mode, disabled hardware acceleration, updated drivers for the integrated graphics and discrete graphics card, disabled all extensions, created a new profile, reinstalled the browser completely - none of this helped, the browser still freezes when opening new tabs. I also cleaned the download history, changed the proxy settings, and disabled Windows Defender. What else can I try to do to fix the browser?

When I switch tabs from Google Maps to something else and back again, my browser often freezes and I have to restart Firefox. This also happens with websites that integrate Google Maps. I tried switching off several extensions, but the problem persists. It never happened to me on older Firefox versions. Is there any solution to this?
