numerous problems with sonoma 14.4.1

I've been having lots of problems since downloading Sonoma: some apps (like Firefox) won't open at all or open very slowly (Reminders, Disk Utility); the wallpaper controls in System Settings are largely non-working (the random rotation on opening doesn't work at all, changing the background color rarely works and when it does it's jumpy); there's frequently a lag-time (esp. in Mail) between typing on the keyboard and how the letters appear on the screen.


Can any of this be fixed? Is Apple working on the problems? Should I uninstall Sonoma?
