Hi Andy, I use Thuderbird for my email and have no problem with it. Yes,
the Firefox I use is the ESR version that comes with debian. It
happens when I open Firefox and it just freezes before I can even
use it. I do have to pages pinned to it so when it opens those
pages are opened. I don't even have time to unpin those to see if
they are the problem. This started after an update for Firefox
from Debian. I am not familiar with Top. Thunderbird stays open while I am on the computer but I tried to load Firefox alone, after I booted up and it still froze the computer.

Since the updated firefox I can not use it as it freezes my computer to the point that I have to hold the off button on the computer for about 10 seconds before it turns off. I am using Chrominum and I hate it. I have a VPN but I still don't trust anything from Google. I forgot how to remove the update and use the older version. At 74 I am forgetting a lot of things I did before, I mean years ago. I hate to keep bugging you guys but I refuse to use Winblows. Can someone please help me out.Hi Moe, Are there any other symptoms? How much memory do you have in your computer? Does this happen with just one window open - so nothing else closed down as a tab? If you run top (or any other performance indicator) at the same time, do you see any pattern to what processes are running? Also - this is the Debian version - the Firefox ESR - and not a newer version from Mozilla themselves? Rather than moving to yet another browser, lets see if we can narrow down causes. Someone else a while ago was mentioning the same problem but with the newer versions of Thunderbird - do you have a Thunderbird window somewhere in the background, perhaps?
