Unresponsive after 2 hrs, always. Have to restart. Sometimes have to disconnect power because it's so slow, then restart.

Usually on FB, making comments and viewing vids.
on pc. But whichever site, it will slow to be unresponsive after 2 hrs.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
