Firefox 95.0.2 (64 bit) Windows 10 (Japanese) updated.

Since one week ( I guess) Firefox is behaving strangely. It take a lot of time to open, move from one page to an other. Disabled Add-ons one by but no avail. Firefox Consuming too much memory. I have tried acceleration,refresh, add-ons disable, only safe mode works. Therefore using mostly safe mode but that is not a solution. Due to this problem I started using MS Microsoft Edge (which I do not want).

Any guidance/help/suggestion/will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, this part looks OK. I'm afraid your issues are due to Fission. Try to disable fission.autostart in about:config and restart the browser.
