For months I have been receiving, "Mozilla Firefox not responding" and almost constant reloading. Restart will stop it for awhile but then it starts again. This has been going on for months.

Your information was partially helpful. I still have the same problem but it is not as bad as before. I had Windows Vista before I got windows 10 and it was easy to work with but with windows 10 I am lost.

I do not reset Firefox, I just download another Firefox which works better and takes less time.

Thanks for trying to help me.
