Moving to the performance component. Does this happen in TroubleShoot mode (accessible from the Help menu), and/or a clean profile? If so, it would be helpful to get a profile using https://profiler.firefox.com/ as well. Set as a severity of 4 until we have some sense of what group of users this is likely to effect...

Dear Sirs ... and Mr. Bot
I need not to increase performance of FireFox at all. I need FireFox stop use components concured with WAD (WinAppDriver).
I cant work in QA of windows desktop apps when FireFox (my favared browser) is working. What fetures you use, I don't know. But befor running of my WAD tests I forced to close FireFox.

I'm not sure what we can do about performance issues in another application entirely — especially not one that's unmaintained and allegedly no longer even runs on supported versions of .NET.

As a shot in the dark: try going to about:config and setting accessibility.force_disabled to false.

If that doesn't help, I'd suggest going ahead and doing what BugBot suggested earlier — if something Firefox is doing is causing WinAppDriver to be slow, then perhaps it will also be slow in Firefox and therefore show up in a Firefox profile.
