Windows 11 is trying to Brick Firefox

[cowboy40]

ever since the last Windows 11 update, I have almost lost all the fuctionaly of Firefox browser. It loads to damn slow, and it is hard to work with...

Anyone else having this problem?

just do what i do take the risks and stick with Win 7

With windows 11 you basically hand ownership of your computer over to Microsoft and you no longer have a say in what you can and can't run on it.
I'm going to move over to Linux once Windows 10 is spent on my machine.

This is a new computer; it came with Windows 11 installed, but i did install Windows 10 on it, but it didn't take full advantage of the memory or processor (imagine that), so I put windows 11 back on it..and things are running the way they are suppose to be running...quick...

Though I have to tell you, I do keep a duel boot system up. I run Windows 11 and Linux Mint 21.3 on seperate hard drives. and I use reFINED as my boot manager. works well...

So yes Linux is a very good option...

Funny thing, I reset my new pc's BiOS, and now firefox seems to run right, I don't get it

It does pointless, random, Rabid Monkey Syphillis, as stupid as my ol' Pa said ("People/Words with TWO LETTERS in their names"), and why does that icon you want to give the Carousel/Cathedral Axe to in Task Manager keep playing "Keep Away?"

And boneheads (AT MICROSOFT), if ya'DONT want to have a riot or insanely snotty emails thrown at ya', GET RID OF "S" Mode, all the nagging, and excessively redundant display, update and randomly changing ADD-Cybercrime *Mongering.

*=Any term. Yeah, it's THAT BAD ENough with the sadness, and whimsical scarednedd and mongering.

Why'd THe DECADE of Good Windows have to end with Windows 11? And why'd my 2nd Dell (and 3rd Laptop), have to be below Dogs worshipped by Rednecks in Redneck-Land?

In just over a year Windows 10 dies and goes to it's resting place, but what we have in return for that death is a disaster. Windows 11 is in the vain as Windows ME, Windows Vista and the likes.

Windows ME was the last gasp of the x86 kernel that actually started off with Windows 95, witch was the start of the 32-bit OS for Microsoft. It had its problems that went through Windows 98. Both 95 and 98 had driver issues and so on. It wasn't until Windows 98SE (Second Edition) came out that the x86 OS was actually getting itself together: then comes along Windows ME (Millennial Edition), and the driver and stability issues rared its ugly head again.

What the x86 32 bit OS gave us: it gave us the Blue Screen of Death.

Will at the same time that the x86 kernel was giving us those headaches, Microsoft did have a stable OS in the form of the NT kernel that started off way back with the 16 bit era. It went well and stable through out its run and so no.

So Microsoft did us all a favor and decided to merge the operating systems into one kernel based on the NT platform, so what was burn for the home marked and so on was Windows XP, I think we all loved that one. It was stable, and it was a good work horse. i miss that one. It should be pointed out that the XP era is when 64 bit processors were really taking off, and so we had a 32 bit and a 64 bit version, We would have this option up through Windows 8/8.1.

So we come to the other disaster, Windows Vista. They released Vista to early and they tried to many things. It wasn't a completed work..but they also had to get something new out there, so now we learned what the results of that was. It was chunky, resource intensive and unstable.

I have noting to say about the follow on to Vista, Windows 7, except that it was great and it solved many of the issues found in Vista.

Windows 8/81 was another attempt at doing to much and trying to change peoples opinion and preferences. it wound up as probably the most hated OS in the Windows line. it's interface sucked and well just about everyone wanted their start menu back, so Windows 8.1 was released.

Now Windows 10 is the standard barrier for Microsoft personal computer operating systems. It was good and stable for the most part. Again, I have nothing really bad to say for it, except tor the telemetry issue, but that dates all the way back to Windows XP. Microsoft has been doing their shit for a very long time.

Now we set here at Windows 11 23H2 as the flagship of Microsoft's OS. It has issues but well with some time, and research you can actually get it to operate more like Windows 10 then an out of the box Windows 11.

It appears that they are actually going to almost totally redo Win II with the release of Windows 11 24H2. They are trying to solve issues.

The biggest gripe I have are the hardware requirements. This is leading to a lot of machines that are going to have to be dealt with when they become bricks in October of next year. I bet Linux gets a large boost in the OS share of the market....!

As i said before, I have this machine set up as a duel boot machine. I am working now in setting up the Linux Mint 21.3 setup to run games. A personal challenge to see if i could do it.

Well I did it. It runs games using WINE and Proton layers. Lutris also helped. And yes i can run my GOG library on the machine as well as Steam. Also I would advice you to use play on wine assets. Many of the older games you migh have on your PC, some groups have made installers set up for them.

So yes it can be done!!!

And if anyone asks, "Why not just play in Windows?" I do, but I also like the challenges of Linux. It forces me to increase my knowledge base in the software world of "open source". I love those challenges...keeps me going on fresh ideas.
