since latest update- firefox freezes then unfreezes-Windows 10 64 bit
Hi there
since the latest update (17/1/23) Firefox seems to Hang then lockup then freeze then unfreeze when just browsing.
no special tabs open such as Youtube- just locks up on browsing 2 tabs plus- google search on 1 and facebook on 1 tab-closed the google search tab then scrolling through Facebook,froze after 3 scrolls of the wheel,locked up then unfroze
Chosen solution
Might have fixed this issue myself.
If Anyone has the same issue-try what i did which is Untick "Use Recommended performance settings" and Untick "Use hardware acceleration when available".
since disabling both,it has fixed it-able to scroll through Facebook/Reddit with no crashes

Facebook.com seems to be the culprit upon freezing the Firefox window when scrolling through the Feed.

Facebook along with Reddit seems to cause it to freeze/lockup
