firefox freezes for a short time
Randomly Firefox 70 freezes the entire PC for several seconds yet not when playing videos on Amazon or Netflix. The freeze happens on various web pages and I am using a high spec PC. Strangely on my less powerfull PC this does not occur.
I have tried refreshing, safe mode, turning of hardware acceleration etc with no success.
This has only started since the latest update.
Any ideas please?

Hard acceleration is created to provide better browsing experience to users, but sometimes it is also a cause of some problems, such as the problem that Firefox keeps freezing. To make Firefox run smoothly, you can turn off hard acceleration to check if Firefox unfreezes windows.
Hi,
Thanks very much for the reply.
I have tried that and the other FAQ suggestions but no luck so far. 8-((

It seems to have cured itself for some strange reason.
