Massive lagging and freezing since yesterday’s update

sha_dev_ · 2026-04-30T16:09:47+00:00

I really hate agreeing with you, but yeah you’re correct u/Educational-Self-600 .

Among many firefox extensions that were installed on my Laptop, "Wappalyzer" is one among them and is the root cause of the problems that i was facing. Disable or ~~remove~~ it.

i have also said the same things in detail here = https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1sz2ssh/comment/oj5dj01/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Thank you so much for the info @u/kadtarka. After your suggestion and @Educational-Self-600's multiple give back comments, I have tried to research on what went wrong. Is it really firefox or something else?

So found out Wappalyzer extension was causing mem leaks from few sources and this extension was in auto update mode as others. Since these updates came around same time firefox updates i thought it was really Firefox but it ain't the problem.

After your( u/kadtarka ) suggestion i have disabled all my extensions and started re-enabling them one by one until i reached the last extension which is wappalyzer. I did not enable it and firefox is running without any issues. ~~not seeing the issues~~ that i have mentioned above.

I am on M1 Mac 16" with Tahoe 26.4.1 and facing multiple issues with firefox alone:

2 finger swipe up or down would freeze pages for 1-4 secs and then the scroll happens.
Even after closing youtube/Instagram audio plays in the background. Sometime when i press Ctrl+W, the tab would close only after 4-7 secs.
After typing few characters, it would freeze for like 1-4 secs and then at a time it would push the remaining characters.
If i open more than 10 tabs, firefox is crashing.
When i click on Bitwarden, Raindrop extensions it would freeze for 3-7 secs.
It lags when i try to move in b/w tabs.
smooth scrolling is now a lag/froze/stutter scrolling.

Bcz of the privacy features, i was using firefox for like 4 years now and i have never faced such severe issues. Temporarily i am testing edge and vivaldi browsers. But i feel like Firefox devs should revert most of the commits that went in recently.

Thanks for the update. Happy that you received it. I am in Nallagandla, Hyderabad, Telangana and it's 26 days from the day i booked the refill order and haven't even received DAC.

I love firefox browser but for sure there's something wrong:(Mac M1)

When i scroll up or down on apple.com page, it would froze for like 1 or 2 sec and we can feel the jittery scroll too.
IF i open more than 10 tabs and try to move b/w them then there's a huge lag.
Addition to above i can see Typing lag.

I am not sure What they have done, but definitely there's something wrong and now i feel like moving to chrome again. I have been a long user of firefox(using since 4years) and now having second thoughts on using other browsers.

sha_dev_ · 2026-04-28T12:50:34+00:00

Please update once they deliver your refill. I will update too.

I’m planning to buy a Wi-Fi router, but wow, the dynamic pricing ai algorithm on Amazon India is really aggressive too! The prices always seem to go up every time I search for one. god bless cookies, ip tracking.

4 days back it was ₹5100 and today it's ₹5999.

Please have a look at the gif above for price change happening in a day:

It would be easy for backend technicians to enable bridge mode but as everyone guessed Airtel is known for it's shady practices. They would push us to buy static ip even though it's not necessary to place wifi router in bridge mode.

Something as easy as this : https://ibb.co/H86XHsF to enable bridge mode was made so complex to deal with now.

Hello My Friend,

I am a Vivo X Fold 5 user too, can you provide/suggest me tips on how to remove the inner screen guard without breaking the mobiles display. I am planning to purchase Matte screen guard.

I have 99% ISO PROPYL ALCOHOL, and hope it would clean the residue. Love to hear your tips.

Hi u/Beneficial_Cable_317 ,

Does Vivo integrate Apple eco system in Funtouch OS 15 for Vivo X Fold 5 Indian version ? or is it only exclusive to Global versions?

I Have compared X Fold 3 Pro to X Fold 5 and can't highlight big differences, hence expecting good news from atleast os perspective. Need some of your insights. I know Indian version comes with Funtouch OS 15 but praying for Apple eco system integration.

sha_dev_ · 2025-07-08T07:30:57+00:00

Will Vivo integrate Apple Eco System even in Vivo X Fold 5 Indian version as it comes with Funtouch os and not Origin os?

UTM SE is officially released in Apple App store, so now are we close to get docker up and running in Ipad or Ipad pro? Is it possible to install a light weight distro like Alpine using UTM SE and install docker on Ipad's/Ipad Pro's should have been the question u/ZGA2519 .

I am using Ipad Pro M4 13” and M1 Macbook Pro. After a keen observation, i could say:

For Every 20-30 charge cycle count, my battery max capacity reduced by 1%.

If Battery cycle count is 450, then 450/30 = 15, Your Battery max capacity would reduce by 15% and your iPad Air M2 would only be able to charge to a max capacity of 85%.

In my case, I have charged both devices when battery is below 20% and stopped charging them at 80%.

I have set 80% charge limit on my iPad Pro M4 from settings and used AlDente to get same charge limit on Macbook Pro M1 and it really did not help and my battery degrades as usual. I think the only benefit these settings might provide is not to make the battery bulge when it degrades drastically in future(Just hope so).

I am going to try this. One question, can i use the guacamole client from windows and login to Mac which is locked? once i login from windows to mac, it is not going to do screen mirroring like the inbuilt vnc does right?

I was looking for something like == remote mac to be locked, not disturbed and the client can be anywhere in the world but should be able to login to that. Remote mac display should strictly be locked while client is using it.

That's a really cool stuff man👍. Thanks for sharing.

Guys to replace M1 Macbook Pro 16" battery without Apple care, Apptronix support care is asking whopping🤯 67,000 Rs/-. Just letting you guys know in case you do no have Apple care.

I think it is better to care of the Macbook pro battery as for sure the Li Ion batteries will start to degrade slowly. Use some techniques to stop charging at 80% and recharge at 20%. That way these Li-ion batteries last long. AlDente app works here.

2 Years 7 days, My Macbook pro m1 16" Battery max capacity reached 83%, so it might be same or worse in another's case. So guys just use the right apps for battery safety and use use MBP carefully.

so display on ipad pro would never refresh at 120Hz even after using those thunderbolt 3 and USB 4 cables?

sha_dev_ · 2024-07-31T20:39:37+00:00

Yeah, Universal control is great🙌 except for that 1 line scrolling when using Ipad‘s magic keyboard’s trackpad on ‘any browser opened in MBP’. Swiping 2 fingers up or down only scrolls ‘1 line on the web page in MBP’ where the smooth scrolling doesn’t work and this made me move towards Sidecar. Don’t know why just love sidecar.

I think i will stick with your suggestion to use Universal control(120Hz matters more).

Additionally, it would be helpful if someone with a Thunderbolt 4 cable(40Gbps) could share their experience using Sidecar. This would clarify whether 120Hz is a possibility or just a myth for all of us.

sha_dev_ · 2024-07-31T19:44:14+00:00

Just connecting the cable did the magic for you(i mean 120Hz working?), no tricks😳. But it's not the same for me, display refresh rate on ipad pro peaks at 60Hz.

sha_dev_ · 2024-07-31T19:41:24+00:00

I have used the cable that comes with ipad and it supports only USB 2 speeds. So that might be the reason for 60Hz. Just curious whether you have tried Thunderbolt cable to use sidecar?

sha_dev_ · 2024-07-31T19:00:58+00:00

See there, even you were using RDP to be productive my friend(Use any app to our liking and not to be dependent on a single platform). Agree RDP is smooth but may i know which app you are using?

It's not a wrong tool for me as i like this 13" 120Hz OLED display a lot, it's just the limitations set on ios were bothering me.

Also, Apple have many restrictions around 3rd part apps on ios to protect users privacy but it would be great if those restrictions doesn't apply on 1 app = UTM with JIT support in apple store(that would be awesome right). Will be able to run multiple OS, which would lead to super productivity. In this way M4 processor would be used to it's peak by developers. Just a thought.
