In my experience recent releases have resulted in Firefox becoming a less stable, slower and more prone to becoming unresponsive or hanging browser.
I'd suggest you check your extensions, if any, which might be incompatible with the newer versions (type "about:support" [no quotes] in your address bar and choose Restart with Add-ons Disabled *). If that isn't the case and there's no improvement, then try a fresh profile (in "about:support" click on Refresh Firefox). Profiles can become corrupted over time. * - You can do the same thing by clicking on Menu (box with three lines), then choosing Help Menu (question mark button), then selecting Restart with Add-ons Disabled. |

Flash is usually the culprit of causing crashes.

The obvious answer is any web site that uses Flash.
Like BBC iplayer & ITV Hub. |

What won't work, if anything, if one disables or removes flash?
![]() Set it to 'Ask to Activate' initially, you can then see how much it's actually used.... |
