My Firefox Quantum browser has constantly not responding in windows 8.1 OS
Ever since I got Firefox Quantum browser years ago - it is constantly not responding, freezing and crashing. I have researched and tried every fix on the internet and it still doesn't work right. Is Firefox ever going to offer a fix for this problem?

Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;
Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.
If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove any profile folders.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Already did that - reinstalled Firefox Quantum a long time ago. I have tried every single fix I can find on the Internet and from mozilla and nothing works.

Update Kaspersky. If the problem continues, disable it.
Thanks sir. I disabled Kaspersky and I am still having the same problem with Firefox not responding. I am sick of the problem!!

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
