Firefox poor Performance
I am trying to fix Firefox performance issues. I recently changed to Firefox to escape forced ads on chrome and the lost support for the Ublock origin. But I am having difficulty performing tasks and pages That I used to be able to do on Chrome with no difficulty.
When I open multiple tabs at once the tabs freeze up when trying to load and already opened tabs freeze and anything streaming also freeze. It takes tons of time to load multiple tabs and even sometimes single tabs depending on the website. This never happened with Chrome and I understand Firefox is not as refined as Chrome and is far younger than Chrome is but I feel like it shouldn't be this bad. Is there any settings maybe or maybe settings/preferences in the config area area that might help with faster performance and increased multitasking ability in the Firefox browser?
I have tried
1. Updating Firefox - I am running the most up to date version 2. Updating Graphics Drivers- I am running the most up to date drivers(Updated yesterday 11/17/2024 3. Deleting Cache/History/Logs 4. removed or disables unneeded extensions that I don't use every day and only activate when I need them.
None of this has worked to increase performance.
P.S. I would also like to fix the problem where firefox is using too much RAM if possible.
Can anyone help me Please? And if possible please give as many solutions as you can find or know so I can implement them quickly.

What security software do you have?
Boot the computer into Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

Had no effect at all. It is browser performance only That is poor. I tried safe mode and with no security software and had no effect on performance of the browser. This is a brand new system with windows 11 home edition. It is top of the line in every way.
Current Windows 11 home Ryzen 7 7800X3D 32gb corsair vengeance ram Nvidia RTX 4070 Super 12 gb Graphics X670E AORUS PRO X Motherboard 2tb Samsung 990 Pro M.2 solid state drive
And the system was Just updated last week so everything is perfectly fresh and functional

Ok so here the last option to look at or try. Make sure if you have any bookmark or sessions to save them to html file or onto a usb by exporting that data over. And then go to the Firefox uninstall and uninstall the browser. Make sure to note any Addon you have installed as well. Then when all done find the folder Firefox or Mozilla/Firefox and delete that folder permanently. But also make sure to download the latest FF based on your 32 or 64 bit OS and matching language version from this ftp site for Mozilla Firefox.

This last option is for last resort should all trouble shooting fail to work. This will make clean Firefox install and run that first before doing any customization or Addon installs. This will verify if it's browser install issue or your OS is causing installation issues. This for the most part should work for clean install without issues.
