Slow performance when using several Firefox based browsers installed on the PC?

I have a question (speculation) about having several Firefox based browsers installed on my Windows 64 PC.

I have a Windows 10, 64 Bit PC with 64 Gigs of RAM. I've always had a habit of installing several versions of Firefox based browsers - all to no avail. However, as of recent, I'm finding that my browsers begin to slow down substantially after 15 minutes or so of browsing - please read on.

Right now, I have the following 64 Bit Firefox based browsers installed on my PC - they are:

Firefox Waterfox Floorp Librewolf

I have quite a large amount of bookmarks saved, and I make sure all browsers have the same bookmarks.

I have a half dozen or so of add-ons, and have tried - from time to time - to uninstall various add-ons to see if they were the cause of the slow downs, but none of that made a difference.

For example, let's say I'm browsing for 15-30 minutes or so, and have a half dozen different tabs brought up. After awhile, things begin to slow down substantially such as delays in clicking on links and having it respond, or right clicking, etc. Browsing speeds slow down substantially also.

Here is what I then usually do:

1. Create a new tab and type in "about:memory" and click on the save memory command.

2. Go into settings and delete cache.

This normally does nothing to speed up things, and I find I have to just close out the browser, wait a few seconds, and bring it back up to things to get back to normal.

This has me speculating - "Could" it be that having a variety of Firefox based browsers with similar data conflict with each other in some strange sort of way" Or is it something else? I know that having a bunch of tabs up can deplete memory usage, but as I mentioned above, I have 64 Gigs of RAM and never had this issue before.

My SSD drive has 500 Gigs of storage, and only half is being used.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be truly appreciated.

Thunderbird, quite suddenly, stopped getting my email; Both on my account and my wife's account at the same ISP. I spent more than two hours on the phone with the ISPs help line trying to resolve this issue. They also use Thunderbird at their help desk, and the agent I talked to was familiar with your program. She (the agent) was not able to replicate the issue on their system. We then tried to set up a NEW email account. I carefully entered all the info needed for a new account, following instructions from the agent, then hit the 'Test' button. I got the following message onscreen: "THUNDERBIRD FAILED TO FIND SETTINGS FOR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT" The answer to the original issue suddenly became very clear - Thunderbird cannot, or refuses to, connect with the email server, therefore NO EMAIL. We tried everything in her toolkit to resolve the problem to no avail. We finally tried UNINSTALLING Thunderbird (and the Maintaince program). Once Uninstalled, I used the Registry Tool on CCleaner to remove any entries in the registry referring to Thunderbird (there were several), then restarted my computer. I then downloaded and installed a totally NEW Thunderbird program. When I ran the Thunderbird again, I found all my account(s) info was still present, and Thunderbird was still unable to find the server. I'm at my wits end trying to resolve this issue, and REALLY HATE to go back to Microsoft OUTLOOK to get my email. Anybody got any ideas??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Signed) Proteus

This is an odd one I've not encountered before. I have TB installed on 2 laptops at home. They are up-to-date with 128.6.0 installed, and both are using the same wi-fi system.

All of a sudden a few days ago, TB on one of the laptops, but not the other, became noticeably slow in deleting messages. It now takes a few seconds for what before always happened instantly (and still does on the other laptop).

Not the end of the world but it's annoying and I'm hoping there's an easy fix.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Since upgrading to thunderbird 128.6.0esr, my shared google calendars no longer show any events.

The activity manager shows it is stuck trying to sync, but not going anywhere.

Onn checking the developer logs, the following messages are displayed.

Anybody else having this problem or know of a solution. (I have removed "CALDAV" and "TB SYNC" extensions - also installed "TB SYNC 4")

Thanks Paul

There is a similar (but not identical) topic on Mozilla Connect , and I posted there. But I did not get a response. So I am re-posting on this new topic on Mozilla Support. I have a similar problem to what was discussed on Connect. I am using Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 10 Professional. After Firefox has been running for a while, I get a message from Windows 10 that the free space on my C:drive is low. I did a directory listing on my C-drive before and after Exiting Firefox; I saw no large files disappearing. Then I decided to do "dir c:\ /ah" to see hidden files. What I saw was that pagefile.sys decreased in size from 29,925,748,736 to 16,270,770,176. This was a decrease of 13.7 Gb. Is this normal? I have lots of windows and tabs open in Firefox. Thanks.

I have just updated to Firefox v134 stable release on Android and now when I log into github.com, the webpage is glitching and not being rendered properly. The avatars on github look torn and they are blinking when I scroll up and down. This is occurring with current Firefox stable, beta, and nightly releases on Android.

My device is a Samsung T813 tablet running Android Nougat (Android 7.1).

I should also mention that Firefox v134 on Android is also showing UI glitches when viewing the settings in certain extensions, like FoxyProxy. Although, I have also done a clean install of Firefox v134 with no extensions installed and the webpages like github and still showing the rendering problems mentioned above.

Hi, I'm using FF for year for development and had several problems with cached data in this time. Now, since the last update (automatic update yesterday), Firefox is caching my js for localhost and ignores nearly everything to stop it.

F5 and Ctrl+F5: no effect Enabling "Disable cache" in devtools: no effect changed about:config (no effect): browser.cache.disk.capacity 0 browser.cache.disk.enable false browser.cache.memory.enable false devtools.cache.disabled true

Only going to settings > privacy + security > Clear Data helps. But as you can imagine, that's really bad DX

I tried a FF-addon for clearing css cache, but it's outdated and doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do, to disable cache for localhost?

I don't understand why this aggressive caching problem is ignored for years and gets worse every year! Why are settings like "Disable cache" in devtools so broken? I tested other browsers and have not found the same issues. I don't want to switch browsers! I just want a cache free localhost! FF can cache the sh*t out of every webpage. But please leave localhost out of it!

Firefox (on one of my Windows computers) has begun hanging up during loading of video articles (such as news services, CNN, CBC, etc.). If I refresh page the video article will occasionally load. Often not. Have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Did not help. Have another Windows laptop and there is no problem loading video content on that device. In addition occasionally Firefox will hang up just loading an assortment of websites, though this does not occur with the regularity of the non-load of individual video news articles. Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

I have used firefox on my Windows PC for many years, but there's something going on that's driving me nuts. I use the browser for email (gmail) and various web apps, youtube mostly. Over the past few months, it's been slowing down whenever I have it open for more than a few hours. It's to the point where it takes 5-10 seconds for a "compose email" command to respond. Clicking between tabs takes a few seconds. The longer it's open, the slower it goes. I did some testing and this doesn't happen with chrome. I don't want to use chrome. I want to use firefox. Can anyone give me advice on how to fix this? I've tried clearing my cache, but it doesn't help. I'd rather not clear my full history because I don't want to have to sign in to various sites multiple times. Thanks for any help you can offer.
