Firefox hangs when I try to load the browser
When I turn on my Mac and click the Firefox browser icon, it will not load. It hangs. I get a "not responding" message and have to "force quit," again and again until FINALLY it loads, after five or more failed attempts. This does not happen with Firefox on my laptop, only my Mac. Both Firefox and my Mac are up to date. Why is this happening? Please help. It happens every day when I try to load the browser. I am about to give up and move to Safari. Relatedly, anyone know if it's possible to export all my bookmarks from Firefox to Safari?

That sounds really frustrating. If Firefox keeps hanging on your Mac but works fine on your laptop, it could be something in your profile or extensions causing the issue. You might try launching Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to see if it starts properly without any add-ons, or even create a new profile to test if the problem is profile-related.
As for bookmarks, you can export them from Firefox as an HTML file and then import that into Safari, so at least you wouldn’t lose anything if you decide to switch.
