I have seen no problem with the latest version (118.0) so far on Linux.
Maybe you should add the OS you are using.
Have you tried a new profile to see if maybe one of your extensions might be involved?
https://profiler.firefox.com/ might be useful. about:profiling too. Maybe also about:logging about:processes and potentially others in about:about
Good thing it's just my end at least. But, It's at a point where i can barely troubleshoot as it is just too unresponsive atm. I'll check out what you mentioned though!
it is definitely just 'your end'. corrupt profile, binaries, or addon. possibly a hardware issue. firefox gets abused here daily without issue.
run memtest and a smart diag on storage, too. if those are ok, export your bookmarks and saved passwords, zip up your profile directory as a backup, uninstall firefox. delete all remnants including cache/temp and profile directories. reinstall. don't add anything back right away and try it.
