Firefox currently too slow

mist — Fri, 01 May 2026 02:33:43 GMT

I have light theme and only two codecs loaded as extensions, nothing else.
And I asked in search bar "why is firefox so incredibly slow?" and it's still looking. I have, while waiting, started Microsoft Edge, Got an answer, swapped back to Firefox, and selected Firefox "Feedback" and typed this out, and fixed 4 spelling mistakes while typing...and the Firefox search is still going.
All other websites eg X, Facebook have similar massive delays. 32Gb RAM, 2 TB of SSD, 4070Ti graphics card.
WTF is wrong with the dying fox?

With a high-end 4070Ti and 32GB RAM, Firefox should run flawlessly. Since Edge performs well, the lag is likely due to a corrupted Firefox profile or Hardware Acceleration conflicts. To fix this, go to Settings > Performance and toggle Hardware Acceleration off. Alternatively, type about:support in the URL bar and select "Refresh Firefox" to reset the browser while preserving your bookmarks. Clearing the startup cache or disabling DNS over HTTPS can also resolve routing delays. For more optimization tips or to explore online earning apps, be sure to visit my site for expert guides.
