Browser / Version: Firefox 129.0 Operating System: Windows 10 Tested Another Browser: Yes Edge

Problem type: Something else Description: I have used older versions of Firefox on Ancestry for about 10 years. Now the screen freezes when searching for people and the whole computer freezes, requiring a re-start. Steps to Reproduce: I have used Firefox successfully for many years. About 18 months ago, I could not move around the family tree diagram on screen—the image and the computer froze, requiring a restart. I discussed this with Ancestry support, which could not help. I tried all the usual suspects—deleting cookies and cache. I tried Edge, and all functions were restored. The Firefox problem persists with newer versions

Browser Configuration

We appreciate your report but I was not able to reproduce this issue. I was able to search for people without any issues.

  3. Press "Enter"
  4. Click on "Create a New Profile"
  5. Click "Next"
