Updating firefox has been the worst and I'm frustrated by it
UPDATE:
I rolled back to 149.2 and that was the only thing that helped me fix the problem and keep my profile intact. Nothing else worked but I'm glad I can use youtube again. Here's hoping for the next update to fix any issues anyone has had. Update 150.0 was nothing but a headache for me personally.
I updated to 150.0 recently and now the browser refuses to work properly. It hangs, freezes and lags on youtube and will play a video even when the tab is closed. I have to close the entire browser with task manager just to close a youtube video. If not that, when I pause a video it just stops the browser from working so again, I need task manager. Other sites barely load too and I never had this issue on my pc before.
It's also guzzling memory now more than ever and I don't have hardware acceleration on and I have 64gb of ram (I am on windows 11 with a Lenovo Legion i7) and I'm still having issues. I wanted to downgrade but when I do now firefox just prompts that my profile has been on a newer version so it won't load on a lower version of the browser anymore. . .wtf why did they update profiles if all it did was screw up everything else?
There's so much on this profile that I don't want to lose but this browser is borderline unusable right now. I've been waiting for an update but nothing so far. Is there any word with how often firefox updates? Or any fix I can try while keeping my original profile?
