Why are the exact same files showing up in Old Firefox Data. Getting Troubleshoot to come up takes FOREVER. I finally get it to come up, hit reset, etc. What is the problem?????

What types of problems with Firefox are you having where you think you need to reset Firefox every day?

Are you aware of what Reset Firefox does? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems#w_what-does-the-reset-feature-do Under These items and settings will be removed: - problems with those items shouldn't be happening so frequently to necessitate a reset daily, weekly, or even monthly.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
