JH, this thread was originally in a different subforum and was moved over to the Open Mic. So, initially it was in an odd place.

You might want to try:

1. Click on the Firefox Menu (the three horizontal bars at the top-right of the screen)

2. Click on the question mark icon (at bottom)

3. Click "Troubleshooting Information"

4. Under "Give Firefox a tune up," click "Refresh Firefox..."

That will reset all your add-ons and settings. If there are still issues, I'd say the blame lies with your OS or another program running on your OS.

If one refreshes Firefox, the add-ons are erased. It has been erratic for several months.

You can always disable add-ons manually to trouble-shoot. Firefox for Mac is my main browser, and I've had 0 issues for as long as I remember.

It was so bad Friday evening that I d/l-ed Chrome (had used it with Win7, but it was buggy). No problems with Win10 and Chrome, but checking CPU use, Flash still bumps up usage to ridiculous levels, but at least Chrome doesn't lock up the way FF does.
