Thank you for your help! Actually it was because of my HDD that was getting worse day by day. after that I said that chrome and everything is fine and smooth, it no longer was. I did another defragment and my laptop got even slower. just like 30 minute for startup of windows. now i buy SSD and install fedora. everything is fine, crash-free, smooth and fast. again, thank you for sharing your time to help me.

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.

I guess that maybe my HDD or RAM is physically injured. because recently the Windows itself did crash a lot on me and showed me bluescreen with different stop codes. I did defragment and memory diagnosis but didn't help. I was thinking maybe it's because of deleting Linux dual boot and specify its space to windows. So, I get a backup of my data and delete ALL of the partitions, and install fresh windows on it. so there is no virus. I install avast (the free one) and scan my hard to make sure it's not because of malware. but I don't know if maybe someone gets control of my firefox account. it's almost a week and the windows didn't crash on me even once. sometimes it freezes for 4 seconds but it will back to normal after that without crash or closing something. I can freely use edge, use chrome, and also firefox but without the firefox account login. if I log in the crash will start. especially if I hit the "sync now" or "sign out" it will crash immediately after that and don't let them to do that. it's very sensitive to those options. (before deleting Linux I was using Linux mint but that goes weird and didn't let me do my daily works. So, I came back to the windows hoping that I will not see that weirdness again.) I will do your suggestions and tell you the results.

windows handle the page size automatically. about the memtext, I get Auto-installer for USB Key (Win 9x/2k/xp/7) for my USB flash drive. installed it and select USB in the boot menu but it didn't recognize it. then I get Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip), unzip it, opened Rufus to boot it on USB but after selecting the ISO, Rufus says this: Unsupported image This image is either non-bootable, or it uses a boot or compression method that is not supported by Rufus...

For the links, I believe that:

  • my firefox is not slow.
  • its usage of cpu and memory-ram is normal, it's not high and abnormal.
  • it doesn't take a long time to startup (except the first time after turning on the laptop which is normal)
  • it's responsive and all is normal until when I don't sign in to my firefox account for the firefox browser.
  • also it doesn't crash when I sign in to my firefox account directly on the firefox website for the support.

it's just when I sign in from the top-right corner of the firefox browser software.
