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 ๐
Try to run your Firefox profile in troubleshoot mode to see if it's caused by an extension.

Alternatively create a fresh Firefox profile and see how it goes there.
firefox -ProfileManager
If it turns out it's really Firefox doing it you can downgrade to a previous version (but make a copy of your
~/.mozilla
dir first, and don't go too far back with the versions). Garuda is Arch-based if I'm not mistaken so you can install and use thedowngrade
command line tool from AUR.
