Hi, If I open Lightroom Classic simultaneously with Firefox, my computer grinds to a halt. I am not the only one. One of my fellow writers at Fstoppers is experiencing the same issue.

When raising this with Mozilla support, the reply came back:

"Sounds like both Firefox and LightRoom is using the same memory locations an could be slowing down the process. This would be something you need to ask Adobe support since it seems to occur when Firefox and LightRoom process are both used."

I'm using Windows 10, with an AMD A10 processor and 32 GB RAM.

Correct answer GoldingD

In the meantime, an inquiry:

Where do you keep your CAMERA RAW CACHE? /preferences/performance/Camera RAW CACHE/. What hard drive.
If C drive, do you have another drive?
How large do you allow it to get? What limit?

I'll help you figure this out. I'll need more info.

What version of Lightroom & the operating system are you working on? I am currently using the same apps together & I am unable to reproduce this on Windows 10 & 11.

Try disabling any plugins in Firefox & in Lightroom if you're using Lightroom Classic.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Hi Sameer, 12.1 Release and Camera Raw 15.1. This has been happening since before the latest update though. I'll try disabling the plugins and see what happens, Thank you.
