Firefox will work great. Then when reopening it, no response. Maybe 3 minutes to load the home page, and then too slow to use. I tried a refresh, which deleted stuff I wanted and had to set back up. I was thinking it was the internet connection, but 2 other browsers worked fine. Only thing that seems to get FF working is a system restart. I hoped that FF 73.0 would be the fix, but it wasn't.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I'll try that at the next time it stops responding, I'll never use refresh again.
