Hello, This is on Win 11, always latest updates to win and FF.

For at least the past 9 months saving anything (web pages, files, etc.) is incredibly slow. I have filed bug reports but nothing back. After starting the save the wheel rotates for 1-2 minutes before finally waking up and saving. FF is completely frozen until its done.

On a second win 11 box, the download are fast but flagged as download failed but the file was actually downloaded

Anyone know anything about this? Like why or how to fix it.

I'm switching to Chrome until this is resolved but I hate Chrome so I hope it will not be a long wait.

Thank you all

Windows home or pro? Can you provide steps to replicate and show proof of the issue? Have you cleared windows cache and temp files? https://www.google.com/search?q=Have+you+cleared+windows+cache+and+temp+files

What security software are you running? Do you have the same issues under a different windows account? If you don't have one, created it and test. What's the storage space looking like on your computer?

Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search

Did you clear your browser cache? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox

Try Refresh Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Also try another version of Firefox. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/Firefox Make sure to install in a different directory from the current install.
