[Solved] Firefox freezes randomly?
Hey there, I'm a long time firefox user and have never ever had any problems with firefox. But after the latest update, the browser will now just randomly freeze and it happens very often. It will freeze for over a minute at the time, making it impossible to use the browser. I've refreshed firefox as suggested on their websites, I've reinstalled but still all the same. Anyone got any suggestions to what I can try? Or anyone else experienced the same thing?
Edit: Using Garuda Linux
Solved: It's not firefox, it's Garuda issues. Thanks for the tips and tricks everyone gave 🙌

You could have system monitor open in order to check what happens with Firefox process when the browser freezes.
See if you can find a reproducible way to freeze the browser. That way you can start to narrow down the cause of the issue. You could stay on the older version of Firefox and only update once the next version is released.
Where can I fetch older versions?
You can find older versions on the site, but I recommend reading this first. (It also contains a link to the older versions)

I’ve been using Firefox ESR since I switched to Debian and find it very stable, maybe something to look into.
