How to troubleshoot browser freezing?

Hi,

I have recently encountered an issue where the video players on certain websites will cause firefox to freeze - the loading animation on the tab plays, but no window of the browser can be interacted with (including very basic interactions such as how tabs normally become highlighted when you mouse over them). I have encountered the issue on disney+ and skillshare but not netflix or youtube, leading me to think that it might be to do with the DRM that those sites use? The issue does not occur in troubleshooting mode but does in private browsing. I have tried disabling all of my add-ons and clearing my cache (though the "clear recent history" menu), but neither has solved the problem. It is unclear to me what steps more I can take other than resetting my browser entirely, which I'm reluctant to do as an add-on that I use has a somewhat lengthy setup process which I would prefer not to have to repeat.

Any help would be appreciated!!

I have my bookmarks alphabetized. When I click on one far down the list & then want to click on the next one the list of my bookmarks always reverts to the top of my list. Can I change this to have my bookmarks stay in the same place that I left off with instead of having to scroll all the way down again?

I signed in yesterday and instead of getting Bing as my home page, I got Norton Safe Search. Never asked for Norton and don't want it. How do I get Bing back? There was some reference which said in effect that the home page was changed by 'an extension' and that it could be changed but no indication on how to do that. I recently downloaded Windows 11 from Windows 10.

This is more of a bug report than a question. In my job we use a web platform called Embrace for all the documentation needed for our special education students. On the platform, we enter information into simple [i.e. no formatting] text fields. When I'm typing into the fields, the window will scroll slightly each time I type a letter or space, so that it moves towards the top of the document. When the cursor gets to the bottom of the page, it will jump back up.

When I open "Extensions" (about:addons) by clicking the Extensions icon, I want it to start on my own extensions, not Recommendations. How can I make "Extensions" open to the actual Extensions tab? Or can I remove the "Recommendations" tab entirely?

I already saw [to remove 'Recommendations' tab in about:addons]. But about:config

 extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled = false

only removes recommendations from the Extensions tab. And adding

 extensions.getAddons.showPane = false

does not work, the Recommendations tab is still there.

I've switched my gpu from a nvidia gtx 970 to a nvidia rtx 2060, reinstalled my drivers after cleaning them with DDU but for some reason Mozilla (and only Mozilla) when running diagnostic pages like webglreport still report using the old card: "Platform: Win32 Browser User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0 Context Name: webgl GL Version: WebGL 1.0 Shading Language Version: WebGL GLSL ES 1.0 Vendor: Mozilla Renderer: ANGLE (NVIDIA, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0) Unmasked Vendor: Google Inc.

probably it is just an estetic issue but as I'm using several webgl intensive apps I would like to know how to "reset" mozilla gpu detection.
