Hello.

I have the latest version of Firefox (137.0) on all of my computers, but it all of a sudden became unresponsive on my laptop:

MacBook Pro 13inch M1, 2020 MacOS Sonoma version 14.7.5

The homepage loads and I can go into preferences, but pages won't load, and then it freezes up and I have to force quit. I tried re-installing Firefox, but that didn't help.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I have recently built myself a new computer and started running MS Windows 11.

I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox, where after a few days of being installed it takes 10 seconds or more to load (or to load subsequent new windows). It also takes a long time to switch from window to window or to close any windows. Opening and swapping between tabs is immediate.

Here is what I have tried:

- Switching off hardware acceleration. - Clearing the cache, deleting all other data and uninstalling the single add-on I use. - Creating a new profile. - Using Mozilla's own "Refresh Firefox" option. - Trying the beta version. - Probably some other stuff that I've forgotten about.

The ONLY way I can get things running at the proper speed again is to completely uninstall Firefox using an uninstaller (that also deletes all the registry entries), restart the computer, and then reinstall Firefox.

After setting things back up the way I want, Firefox will run nicely for a number of days, then will slow down again to the point where I have to uninstall and reinstall (whilst also deleting the registry entries).

It doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever whether the computer has or hasn't been restarted during that time.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Hello For some time now, Firefox has not been working normally: - response time gets longer the longer I use it - to the point where it hardly responds to clicks at all. I have the latest version: 135.0.1 I've uninstalled it completely, then reinstalled it completely, without any change to the problem. I've disconnected all extensions except Proton Pass and Proton VPN What can I do? Thanks

Windows 11 24H2 Firefox 135.0.1

In the current version, Firefox slows, freezes and requires restarting. This seems to happen after about 8-12 hrs of being open (several windows and several tabs per window). Firefox is using ~5gb memory (system has 64gb).

When we get to this point, opening a web page will pause for 5-10 seconds and then complete. Pressing exit at this time has the same affect - 5-10 sec pause and then close tabs. Restarting Firefox fixes everything. Have to do this this at least 2x per day.

Firefox constantly freezes up as soon as I right click on menus. In the expand/droppdown menu square box that pops up when I right click, is first just white (to text) then goes black and freeze. I understand the Win7 gets no support but does anyone know about this issue and can I go back to a version that does not do that? Preferably a version that does not hound me to update every 10 sec :)

I don't know what is happening, but for the last few weeks my Firefox has been freezing on me, I know the cause is not the website(s) because I can browse them fine with other browsers, also when it freezes it won't let me close it, I even tried to close it using Task Manager, but I get an Access Denied when I click End Task, so I have to restart my PC.

Any ideas qhat can be happening?

Hi -

I've been using Firefox for 10+ years, and have not touched my add-ons etc for years. I also regularly clear my cache of temp files.

That said, searching my (vast) bookmarks in Firefox used to be lickety-split, very fast. Then, it started slowing down, on both PC (Windows 10). Then, a little while later, it started on my laptop (Macbook with latest IoS).

It's now gotten so bad that I am searching my emails to find the links I'm looking for, rather than putting my browser into a coma for a time, because it freezes.

What is the problem, and how do I overcome it?

MY BROWSING IS VERY, VERY SLOW. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING EVEN CHANGING MY INTERNET PROVIDER. CAN YOU HELP. SOMETIMES IT DISPLAYS "COULD NOT CONNECT". REALLY FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING. FOR EXAMPLE I CAN'T EVEN CONNECT WITH DVLA OR INSURANCE COMPANIES.

For the past week or more the browser freezes up. A message comes up about "waiting" or discontinue. It often finally begins to work again; however the problem persists and very annoying. Can anything be done?

Hi after MS installed the Feb 20 update Firefox freezes on pages particularly Youtube where a video will play but any click action causes it to lock up. Is there any way to refresh or reinstall FFox without losing bookmarks etc?

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with Firefox. Whenever I paste a large amount of text (especially code) in one go, Firefox freezes and becomes unresponsive. This happens frequently in various web apps like ChatGPT and Make.com.

It’s not a one-time thing—it happens consistently when pasting large blocks of text. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue, or is there a way to fix it? Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Firefox continuously hangs and locks up. It has 15 or 20 processes running and then stops responding when I click on a link. I shut down Firefox and restart and it runs fine. I restarted this session 10 minutes ago and searched for "Limit Firefox sessions" and it already has 14 processes running.

Something is wrong with that.

In "Performance", I Unchecked "Use recommended performance settings" and checked " Use hardware ..."

I have no problems typing in a textbox on most websites, but for some time now, when I type comments on YouTube, the box alternates between working and freezing about every 7 seconds. It will work fine for 7 seconds. Then freeze for 7 seconds, then back to working again.

Any idea what the problem is?
