Firefox stopped responding. Seems the page is incomplete when loading. I tried a refresh, that didn't work so I tried an uninstall and reinstalled ff. that didn't work either. seems like its bugged or has a virus. I uninstalled it. Now I am a little reluctant to install it again. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions? Thanks, John

Could this be relevant? A couple of other users identified Webroot (security software) as blocking 64-bit Firefox 97 -- released today -- from running properly: If you are still running an earlier release of Firefox, this would not be your issue.

After consulting with WebRoot, they advised this was a known issue. The fix was to remove and reinstalled the WebRoot application.
