Disable add-ons

Firefox add-ons allow you to download videos from sites, block ads, and so on. But, if you have a large number of add-ons, you will be faced with many Mozilla Firefox crashes. To disable the add-ons, follow these steps:

1. Open Mozilla Firefox, open the menu, click on “Add-ons” and choose the “Extensions” section.
2. Click Disable or Remove next to the appropriate add-on in the list.
3. Then, restart the browser with Restart now button.

Clear history

The browser keeps a history of pages that you visited, download history, passwords, images, and more. Many of these data are stored in the cache that allows the previously visited pages to load faster. But on the other hand, browsing database accumulates which is why the browser may slow down. To delete the history, just follow these steps:

1. Open Firefox browser, open the menu and click on “History”.
2. Click on “Clear recent history”.
3. In the opened window, from the drop-down menu select “Everything” and click on “Clear now”.
