On startup of Catalina Firefox 86.01pauses on startup. Is there a method to identify the reason of the pause? The console shows what appears normal.

Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012 with macOS Catalina slow start up I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012 with MACOS Catalina, after entering desktop password it takes up to 10 minutes for the system to boot up and settle down before responding. Then when it does repond there is a delay when pressing keys or using the mouse pointer. Looking for help to sort this out. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Firefox crashing in Catalina Ever since I upgraded to Catalina on Friday the 18th October I cannot open Firefox. I get a box telling me that there is another copy of Firefox open and to close it. It then just hangs indefinitely. Judging by the fact there is no great outcry to be found when googling this I presume it is just something individual to my iMac, which is a late 2012 model, the last to be able to upgrade to Catalina. Anyone else having this problem?

recent Firefox browser problems Firefox says it's version 91.3 is up to date -- recently downloaded. Either before then, but definitely after, Firefox continually crashes using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Who is responsible for this? Mac? Firefox? I suspect Mac because Mac's Pages program also crashes regularly. Nobody wants to hear from a user, and I wouldn't know how to do that if they did. Sometimes, Mac will notice and say 'Report Problem to Mac' which I do. Nothing changes. This happens now every day. It never used to. Does anyone have any solutions? The only thing I do is click "shut down" -- then force it to manually, since it never shuts down all the way, then manually restart. Then it works fine --- until it doesn't again. Thanks.

I have found the problem is that on Catilina there are alot of process running that have nothing to do with the applications or systems I use. I have disabled those process and this issue doesn't occur anymore. I disabled about 20 processes.

The question - do you what Firefox 86.01 to start loading at the same times as the OS? If Not - remove it from Startup Items
