Switched to Opera, no more crashes and it's simple to tranfer bookmarks. I wonder why Firefox can't seem to iron out all their problems?

Firefox even crashed when I went to to the site for crash reporting. It crashed before I could finish filling out the form!!

Safe browsing, add on problems, plugin problems, it's amazing how those problems didn't exist in the early years.

The best suggestion for this forum would be to try Opera.

I have tried turning off plug ins and add ons, and Firefox continued to hog resources and still would crash.

The first week with Opera has been incident free, aggravation free, and it doesn't use half the resources as Firefox.

And in the "early years" Opera was based upon Presto and was completely different than it is now. Now it uses pretty much the same code as Chrome. The issues that you brought up might be fixable, which is what "we" do here - provide support information.

If your point of posting here today was to let Mozilla know how you feel about Firefox, please provide feedback to Mozilla here: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback

Few to none of the support contributors who provide support here, work for Mozilla - the vast majority of us are just users like you were.

You can check in the the Windows Control Panel if you can find "NVIDIA Network Access Manager" or "NVIDIA ForceWare Network Access Manager" and uninstall this software.
