This may just apply to me and my old computer setup, but I thought I would post it anyway.
Firefox has served me well for many years...until today. I always check the release notes before I update, and the FF106 notes raised no flares for me. as a result, I downloaded the update last night, and it was applied when I started FF this morning.
Oh dear. The freezes started pretty soon after I got going. Disabling my anti-virus, getting FF to repopulate the "places.sqlite" file, deleting all the extensions, none of these tricks worked. To be fair, the only one I did not try was turning off the hardware acceleration. Probably should have tried that, but what's the point of a computer program that gives up when hardware acceleration is applied. Fail.
Just for the record I'm using a HP Pavilion laptop with Win7, Avast anti-virus. Reverting to FF105.0.3 has worked perfectly.
