firefox freezing

Every couple of minutes Firefox just freezes. YouTube buffers, all open tabs just stop working. I can open new tabs but i cannot search up anything or go into any websites. Is there any fix for this?

Windows home or pro? What security software besides MS Defender are you running? Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf

Try booting windows to Safe Mode with networking and see if you have the same issues.

Windows home. Only MS defender is running. I Just tried running FireFox in troubleshoot mode and that seemed to fix the issue. Does that mean one of my extensions is causing this? I have ublock origin and malwarebytes browsing guard.
