Waterfox Classic virtually unusable
Hello
Hopefully somebody can help me.
I've been using Waterfox Classic since coming from Pale Moon a few years ago and have been quite happy until recently.
It has been using around 2GB of memory (my laptop has 16GB) and the fan is always at top speed. The pages take long to load and for some reason a page I visit daily now makes Waterfox crash. There is nearly always a few seconds delay when typing until the typed text appears on screen. The cursor sometimes doesn't react. Even typing this has been a struggle.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but it makes no difference.
I have disabled add-ons (I only use three add-ons at the moment) but no change in performance.
I've stuck with Waterfox Classic because it was like Pale Moon which in turn was like the old Firefox. Do I really have to try another browser?
Thanks
