CAPTCHA and lag
I am somewhat new and ready to leave. Firefox help is very disappointing. That said, does anyone have a clue why the Firefox browser takes literally minutes to execute a search and most times I do search it goes straight a google captcha that I have to do 5-6 times to proceed. I do have a vpn but it is routed through the US. Also, zero problems with Chrome, Edge, and Brave. I am assuming it's a setting or is Firefox just trash?

Close any excess tabs to lower the amount of memory Firefox is using. Firefox may begin to slow down as you open more tabs, so restrict the number of tabs you use to those you need. Also, close any programs you do not need to free additional memory.

Are you using a proxy or VPN?
You can check the connection settings.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
Thank you very much, both replies are very helpful. I apologize for my saucy query. I guess I was quite frustrated at the moment. I did have a lot of windows open due to an ongoing project. I think this may have solved my issues. My proxy setting is off. I will take a look at the links. Thank you again!!
