Recently bought a new Mac Studio running mac os 12.4. Migrated FireFox from old mac. Firefox version 102.0 will not open anything for about a minute. Message says transferring from a web page but nothing happens. Sometime it says “cannot find server.” Firefox on my other older mac on same network works fine as does Safari on new Mac Studio. Once delay period over all work well.

Hi Bill, What you're experiencing is not normal behaviour. First, let's try refreshing Firefox. This will purge a lot of your Firefox files, while retaining most of your personal data. For instructions, check out the following article: Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

Chris, I reset Firefox as instructed. Worked for awhile. Then I added an Ad blocker and it failed again. Turned off the ad blocker but still failed. Reset Firefox again and worked fine with different ad blocker. Later in the day I returned to my Mac and it failed again. Today it's working fine again with AD Blocker Ultimate still running. Hope it continues. No confidence in continued trouble free operation. This is so weird because Safari works fine so network is OK.
