Guys, I seriously need help right now. Chrome has stopped working altogether for me, it just won't start when I click on it so I uninstalled it. And Youtube in Firefox is worse now; I can't even visit the main page without getting the lag and the yellow bar saying it slows down my browser. My computer works fine otherwise, both with gaming and visiting other pages.

Also; when opening the task manager it shows five firefox related activities despite I only have one window open.

Edit: If you scroll down here, the poster details exactly my issue but I can't seem to find an actual solution. Further down he talks about other stuff using firefox, hence the multiple activities in the task manager, but I'm still unsure of what to do.

I don't know that Firefox showing five activities is, in and of itself, necessarily out of the norm. At the moment I've six tabs open. Task Manager shows 10 activities, plus more FF stuff in its "background task" display. For what it's worth, Firefox has been sluggish here for around an hour or two. Slow to open new tabs and fill graphics-heavy tabs. Don't own Chrome, so can't check that. I did some research and see that Google is abandoning Windows 7 Chrome support next year, 2023, April if memory serves. But you've some months before worrying about that, if there is even anything to worry about.

Have you some way to run a virus/malware check, just in case?

Does the computer continue to run games and other stuff "normally" and at speed?

Yes, everything works fine.


Edit: Using Chrome again and it seems to work for now. Questions: Is there a click sound addon for Chrome? and how do I get rid of the spell checking? Fixed that!
