Forum Help Bulbagarden Forums Causing Firefox to Freeze

[RexMissingno]

I've had this issue for the past few days and it seems to only be occurring on Firefox with Windows 10. Whenever I click or maneuver around the forums the entire browser consistently freezes with "Firefox is not responding" before resuming after 5-15 seconds.

I tested this on Chrome on the same PC and Firefox on my Chromebook which uses Linux, and neither had any issue. I also tried clearing the browser's cookies for the forums and that didn't fix it.

You've mentioned clearing the cookies, but did you try clearing the cached data in Firefox as well? This sounds like the kind of issue you'd get when there's corrupted data in there.

Might you have any extensions or add-ons that could cause this problem? Does this only happen with Bulba? Try "Firefox safe mode" (if you don't know how, check: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode | Firefox Help) and see how it goes; if it still remains with that bug, try the "refresh Firefox" (Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings | Firefox Help) option; if the bug remains, uninstall completely and reinstall. You could also try turning "recommended performace settings" and also "use hardware acceleration" (check: Firefox's performance settings | Firefox Help). Clearing cookies and all data also might help. Let me know how it goes! I'm using Firefox at the moment and it's working correctly.
