Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

i have tried anew profile got a the newest version and it still does not help i guess the people doing the updates have no idea how to fix the issue or care none of you can really help all the idea you have had i have tried and still i get the same Firerfox running but not responding' guess you will force me to go to chrome instead which does not do this nor does Edge so you can not tell me it is not a firebox issue because neither Chrome or hedge with by the way all the same desktop icons i have had for years work

Gentlemen, isn't your browser using a lot of RAM? I've been freaking out about it in recent years. That's only with 25 tabs open!! Despite the fact that the system was installed just a day ago, without any tweaks!!!

So I know these websites are kind of crap anyway, but I have issues with scrolling bsky.social (and other clients for it like witchsky) and twitter. The further into the timeline I get, the more frequently these webpages lag.

They begin freezing every few seconds for a few seconds, during which they queue left or right clicks, page up/page down, and various other commands, only processing them once it unfreezes. Firefox itself still works during this freeze, e.g. opening the main menu. Also, I can still scroll up or down to a limited degree, though this just exposes empty, unrendered webpage until it unfreezes.

bsky.social has had this problem for a long time, but twitter only recently developed this issue after I had to do a cache clear, cookie clear, etc. trying to log in a few weeks ago. Prior to that it didn't have this issue.

Task manager hasn't really helped elucidate what's wrong, so it might be an about:config that I set or even an unruly extension, but I really don't know what to try.

This has been in the last month or so. It will freeze up and I can't break out of it. Last time it froze the whole computer and I had to power down and restart. There must be something that changed. And there must be some way for me to be able to quit when this happens. Last time it was on a video call with my 104 year old mother and it is very annoying. The whole thing froze and I had to restart the computer and when I got it back up, she was off. I need some way to break out so I don't have to do a complete restart. t.

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

Hello, After the last update i keep seeing a blank page when i open a new tab or new page. i tried the troubleshooting mode but the same. i need to refresh every time i open a new page.

Anyway to fix the issue?

For the last four days every time I go to clear my history,"Program not responding" with a white a line at the top of the page with a message to close program or wait for response. I have tried restarting my computer with no change. If I close the program and restart I don't see a change. It seems to be intermittent. Please find out what is causing this glitch .

Thank you.

FIREFOX ... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE THAN 16 GIGABYTES WITH ONLY 4 TABS OPENED. AND OF COURSE .... BROWSER FREEZES, NEED TO KILL FIREFOX TO STAR WORKING AGAIN ....

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING THESE DAYS?

Hi

I have notice when there are multiple tabs open and multiple extension running the app seem to lag with page reloading ( youtube, google, insta)

Also PIP for youtube is broken with maybe hyperos 3 Youtube controller or browser customize controller for youtube

Kindly check that

I have realised if browser is optimized well then it can replace many social media app with more privacy and customization

Hello! In the last update of the application, I encountered such a problem that the buttons in the pop-up windows are not pressed. For example, even now, I had to ask this question from the browser on my PC, because I couldn't select the topic I needed on my smartphone because the buttons in the pop-up window wouldn't press. Clearing the cache, deleting the application data, and even reinstalling the application did not help. This makes it very difficult to use the browser. If there is any solution to fix this, please share. Thanks!

For at least a few months now, my browser will suddenly and randomly go fullscreen all by itself. I can't exit it, and then it goes back to normal after at most a minute. It hasn't happened in at least a week. But today, it froze like that, not responding. I quit firefox, waited a bit, then restarted it. It went fullscreen and froze again. I waited at least 10min and it then went back to normal and responded again. It only happens when using firefox. I've done virus scans, etc, and it still keeps happening. Please help. Thanks.

I have a problem: when I open any Instagram reels link like from google , facebook , forum , etc https://www.instagram.com/reels/****/ the browser freezes. After a bit, a “stop” message shows up. When I click it, it opens a blank page like the one in the screenshots, and the tab completely freezes — I can’t go back, forward, or even close it. Even if I close the browser, it keeps running in the background. There are no extensions enabled (I’m using troubleshoot mode). windows 10 64

Hi! We have automated tests that run in Firefox across a large number of instances. There are about a hundred nodes where the browser is launched. For security reasons, there is no Internet access. When the browser closes, requests are sent to 146.75.117.91. Since there is no Internet connection, the request fails to complete, and the process terminates due to a timeout. Because the browser is controlled by geckodriver, the `driver.close()` call fails with an error. I’ve tried numerous browser startup options, but none solve the problem; the process still crashes. The only thing that works is blocking the IP address at the firewall level or in the `hosts` file. However, I’m not happy with this solution because it would need to be applied to a hundred nodes, which would create scalability issues down the line. Are there perhaps any options I missed? I also found these addresses in `omni.ja`. Could it be that they are hardcoded and cannot be changed via options?

When playing YouTube videos in Firefox, the video constantly hangs or freezes. I have to restart the browser to continue playback. This happens every time I try to watch videos on youtube. what is going on?

fonts.googleapis.com is locking up websites for 40 to 60 seconds per keystroke. I have researched this problem and tried everything suggested, but nothing works. Much of the solutions include changing the settings used on menus which no longer exist. accounts.google.com is doing the same thing. This is driving me nuts. Help!!! Latest version of Firefox. Windows 11 desktop computer.
