Hey there, I’m a long time firefox user and have never ever had any problems with firefox. But after the latest update, the browser will now just randomly freeze and it happens very often. It will freeze for over a minute at the time, making it impossible to use the browser. I’ve refreshed firefox as suggested on their websites, I’ve reinstalled but still all the same. Anyone got any suggestions to what I can try? Or anyone else experienced the same thing?

Edit: Using Garuda Linux

Solved: It’s not firefox, it’s Garuda issues. Thanks for the tips and tricks everyone gave 🙌

    Good thing it’s just my end at least. But, It’s at a point where i can barely troubleshoot as it is just too unresponsive atm. I’ll check out what you mentioned though!

      it is definitely just ‘your end’. corrupt profile, binaries, or addon. possibly a hardware issue. firefox gets abused here daily without issue.

      run memtest and a smart diag on storage, too. if those are ok, export your bookmarks and saved passwords, zip up your profile directory as a backup, uninstall firefox. delete all remnants including cache/temp and profile directories. reinstall. don’t add anything back right away and try it.
