The Firefox browser does not work correctly
Hello, recently the browser has started to use a lot of RAM ( up to 3Gb ), and opening multiple tabs sometimes leads to a complete freeze of the computer. From the extensions you have installed only AdBlock and a VPN.That it may be a virus ( although the antivirus and anti-spyware find nothing), or with a browser that is not so?
PS And another question, those who use Opera GX, how do you like it in General,and how to return to the home page ( where the button( house))?

I have no problems, close the browser, remove the folder Mozilla.
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\
C:\ProgramData\

It depends on how many tabs open and that page on each tab is one thing, the sites with the text, and the other where a lot of pictures, videos, etc.
...Of the extensions are installed only AdBlock and a VPN...
Depends on what kind of extensions: if some of the most popular - most likely more-less normal, but when they are used for example a few dozen / hundred people - there is reason to think.
...the data will remain, bookmarks, passwords, etc.?
Profile data is stored in the folder
C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles

you can also try to go to the settings section of the privacy & security, where to find the cookies and site data and history, then delete all that is on all ticks.
the same can be done with add-ons and plug-ins by going to settings Supplement (ctrl+shift+a)
and delete all add-ons with plugins or try to upgrade them.
you can also try to transfer the current firefox profile in viewstony browser that you uninstall the old version. me in due time helped to solve the problem with a random upload for 30-40 seconds.

in short, look at the profile that is used, driving into the browser address bar about:profiles
displays all profiles and that you use it and are interested. see line root directory, then go on your way C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and copy from there the required folder, then you can demolish the current browser completely.
after put on clean firefox. can run or not to run – does not matter, do not go nothing to configure and change.
open the run using the keys Win+r or in the menu start, where you enter a command firefox-p
opens the profile Manager. create a new call as necessary, remind next until, until you see the window to choose folders profile content. it's the point you previously copied from the old profile. remind OK and next to the end and you're done. open your browser and see what all you like in your profile with all your data and ANYTHING anywhere does not disappear (saved everything). the same procedure on svejesobranna browser can be done through recipe about:profiles in the browser address bar. if the profile is not picked up, through the above mentioned tools you can just select it as active and all. the link above procedure is also described.
still can just see what your browser settings were changed with respect to default and restore everything as it was through a recipe about:config in the address bar.
you go to help-for problem or just in the address bar write about:support
and looking for partition Important modified settings. take a look, and then drive in a new tab about:config and change as it was default in the search setting, click it, and then: put true instead of false and Vice versa, and settings with precise values or text fields, just Google or rolled from new browser.
the above-described solyusheny relevant only in case if the problem is clearly in browser. if you have zasrat system, instead of the normal Windows castrated ownesboro from Vasya-down or drive in a washed condition, it does not help, most likely.
