Since upgrading to Firefox 93.0 I am having problems with memory and low memory warnings. Playback is choppy and will freeze making the computer and Firefox unusable. I get " Firefox not responding" constantly. I like Firefox and want to continue to use it. Will you be issuing a fix? I hope that this problem will be resolved soon. Is there a way to restore a previous version of Firefox so that I may use the internet. Thank you, Steve

Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 12/04/2020 Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/ in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.


Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ? Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings

If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
