Ever since I got 133.03 my Dell cpu freezes a lot. Over the last hour it froze 15 times. This is terrible reliability.
I hired Dell Tech Support and they checked my software and there were no issues. I have run advance Norton features and there are no problems. Therefore the issue is NOT with my 20 month Dell computer.
Firefox has always been reliable until late August. For four weeks it would freeze and lock up. by the end of Sept it was slightly better and then fine in November. Now it only freezes, put the mouse over the image and it freezes. Play with it for a while and it unlocks.
I am totally fed up with Firefox. I'll be starting my taxes soon and year end things and can't afford to have all these issues and rebooting to help eliminate the issue.
When is Firefox tech support going to help me? When is Firefox going to fix the issue? After Christmas I am looking into the Microsoft software......enough is enought!

Gmail is slower than frozen molasses, it is taking 15 to 20 seconds to respond to mouse clicks and typing as well as scrolling, it takes me more than half an hour to do what should take a few minutes, if this is not fixed soon that will be the end of Firefox for me, I will use Opera instead.

I had two Firefox windows on my computer, one with a few tabs of Youtube and Twitch pages, and a private window with a single Twitch stream. I've had them and the program open for days, with my conputer turned on and off multiple times with no issues.
Today I booted a game I installed yesterday on my computer and played for a few hours, after closing the game, both my Firefox windows became completely inaccessible.
I've tried closing firefox, restarting my computer, letting Firefox create a new xulstore file and nothing has worked. I can't see the window, I can't make it active. It's permanently minimised.
It spikes Desktops Windows Manager to 100% GPU usage, it makes my PC lag and run slow, and I can't do anything in the browser cause the window won't stay open or up. I can't even open the old window and then a new one, it stays minimised and I can only see the preview by hovering my mouse over it.
I've tried GPU driver updates, I tried anti virus scanning, and I've tried opening another browser which did work. But Firefox is the one with all my saved settings and preferred browser. I also can't see the Firefox window at all when using the window key + TAB to check my desktop, but it does show up on Task Manager as running.
Please help me restore my program. I'm making this on my phones firefox browser which is running fine
Really, you have no staff who respond. This is unacceptable. Time for me to change browsers!

I have been dealing with an issue in Firefox on Windows 11 for several weeks now hoping for a fix soon but it has not come yet. When I am browsing on eBay, it will lock up and I have to identify the thread in Task Manger and kill it (just the runaway thread, not the entire program). I can then continue of eBay for a short time before it happens again. This only happens on eBay while just browsing, not bidding/buying. Is anyone else having this issue?

I know this probably sounds odd but I'm not imagining it. I like many people I live with many tabs open at once. Since the 143 update I come back to my computer the next morning and many of my tabs, specifically my gmail tab and many others will not work. (Oddly I've noticed some random tabs will still work, I have no idea why) I can close the tab and try to reopen gmail in a new tab and it just sits there trying to open but it will not. I've waited 20 minutes. Not until I close firefox and restore my last session will it again work properly. Is there a bug/glitch or is there some setting I need to adjust. I don't want to have to close my firefox everyday. Edge is not having this same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my specific machine. It's like Firefox just decides to quit when I go to bed. I know it sounds crazy.
so um the menu when you click alt (in the attached image) won't leave I clicked alt again turned mozilla off and on and it didn't work
why does firefox have 13 processes in the background
Firefox keeps going into efficiency mode and hosing my pc. I have end task from task manger and restart Firefox to clear it. I recently upgraded to Win 11.

I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 and Firefox 143.0.1.
I recently bought my first OLED monitor, so I enabled auto-hide taskbar in Windows to try and reduce the chance of burn-in. However, while it works for the most part, it seems to often break in Firefox where the taskbar will hide, but not reappear when I move my mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.
You can replicate this issue by having FF not maximised, then dragging its window titlebar to the top of the screen and letting go in order to maximise it. At that point, the taskbar no longer pops up when you mouse over the bottom of the screen.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

So out of nowhere, I can't use the back button, or delete pages by clicking the 'x. I can't even click on the settings icon, or any icon on the menu bar. When I hover over any web page title, it shows a small window of it, but I can't get rid of it. I didn't change anything, so what's going on?

this site at mlb.com or any site showing a live game eventually freezes up and cannot be closed normally. task manager or re-boot is only way out, starting over with a new instance of firefox after ending all firefoxes.
this has been happening just this past few days, after firefox updated to 143.0 on windows 11 using defender, no other screwed up security software.
firefox needs to fix this, it is not likely anything with the site but rather with firefox latest update, as this has always worked before on this same computer.

Hello,
I have several PC;s but all suffer on occasion absurdly slow performance when a Firefox update is released.
I may be wrong but it appears there are too many of these processes running, I tried changing the value in " about:config " but Firefox defaults the value back to " 12 " when the browser is restarted.
" app.normandy.migrationsApplied 12 "
The below details are from a small, new cube pc that runs great, it is slow but does perform well, even previously just the other day running multiple Live Youtube streams with no issues, until now. :)
Any help would be great. Thank you!!!

Добрый день! Обратил внимание, что с последним обновлением. у меня стала виснуть браузерная строка полностью и я не могу зайти в настройка. Уже было несколько раз так и мне помогает только полный перезапуск браузера.
Я могу прислать видео, как это выглядит.
Прошу помочь решить эту проблему. Спасибо

Ever since this month's Windows 10 update I've been having problems with Firefox. I start it, the menu bar and tab comes up, but then nothing. I can't access any web sites. I tried removing the Windows update, then tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and then messing with the settings. In each case Firefox would work for a couple of days, then I'd have to start it three or four times to get it to work, then it wouldn't work at all. I've been using it for 10 or more years now (four on this computer) and have never had any problems before. I'm loathe to switch to another browser, but if this can't be fixed I won't have any choice. This is what happens when I start the program.

Description: We have encountered a significant performance issue with NativeMessaging API in Firefox when an extension communicates with a native application.
In scenarios where many objects must be enumerated (e.g., ~458 certificates), Firefox is dozens of times slower than Chromium-based browsers.
Environment:
Firefox (latest stable, reproduced in 2025)
Windows 11 x64
Same machine and same native plugin tested in Chrome, Edge, Yandex Browser
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a WebExtension that communicates with a native application via NativeMessaging.
Perform enumeration of a large number of objects (≈ 450–500).
Measure execution time in Firefox vs Chromium.
Actual results:
Firefox: enumeration of 458 objects takes ~2 min 30 sec
Chromium/Edge/Yandex Browser: enumeration of the same 458 objects takes ~5 sec
Additional tests: Round-trip time (RTT) for a single message:
Firefox: ~73.7 ms
Chromium: ~0.3 ms
Because the extension and the plugin exchange a large number of messages, this performance gap becomes critical.
Expected results: NativeMessaging API in Firefox should perform at a level comparable to Chromium browsers, so that extensions relying on heavy message exchange remain usable.
References: Bug 1288912 – Native messaging performance is extremely poor
Although this bug is marked as resolved, performance testing still shows a major discrepancy in the current versions of Firefox.
Question: Is there any ongoing work or plan to optimize the implementation of NativeMessaging API in Firefox to address this performance issue?
firefox is lagging whenever we open it
