Any Firefox users having massive problems w/v.152.0.1 (latest LTS) on older OSX ? [View all]

Firefox is essentially nonfunctional for me. All I get is the spinning beachball, with something trying to load and never finishing. Apparently multiple processes get launched , but never lead anywhere (had dozens according to OSX Activity Monitor). I've downloaded two updates in the last few days and performance went rapidly and catastrophically downhill after that.

I was trying to access a bank account tonight -- can't do this in Safari for this particular Web page, don't know why not -- and now I can't even open a Web page anywhere.

Do you have an alternative browser? canetoad Jun 19 #1

Unfortunately not. Safari cannot access this bank page, for whatever reason. (It's a very old version of Safari) eppur_se_muova Jun 19 #5
