Firefox is unstable - tabs crash, pages freeze, slow
Have used Firefox for decades and suddenly it is having problems. If I surf around and have a few tabs open, some of them might crash. Firefox tries to restore them and sometimes it works and sometimes they just crash again immediately. I can go to Amazon and the page won't load completely so I can't do anything. If I try and close Firefox it won't close, it is frozen. And often, pages just load very slowly even though my internet connection is strong. This just started about a month or so ago. I have refreshed Firefox, updated it, and checked the systems on my computer. All my internal diagnostics returned "no issues." So it has to be the program.

So...nothing? No answer, no solution, no help? Even a guess? Well, this continues:
Firefox won't play Apple Music. It says it has to download something to allow playback but doesn't. Then there is the issue that Firefox won't update any longer. It tells me I need to update but despite giving it permission it doesn't.
I've used Firefox for years and years with never a problem and now it just doesn't work any longer. And while I get asked for information there is no communication after.
Sorry, Mozilla, I'm going to have to switch to Chrome. Your browser is just to problematic.
