Do we have any stats for browser that is mostly used on Bitcointalk forum?
We are probably following global trend with chrome browser.
I didn't noticed the some unresponsiveness happening in Tor browser, but I guess they are not following Firefox updates strictly and they made changes on their own.
In last few months I have been testing Firefox fork called Librewolf, that is focused more on better privacy, telemetry is removed, uBlock Origin is added by default, and cookies are deleted on shutdown.

I haven't had any problems with the forum even though I use Firefox. It is possible that the thing is in the FF version, and for me, the last update was to 96.0 1-2 days ago.
You may have been lucky. If you have the patience, you can read at least 2 Bugzilla pages:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749910
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749908
They tell from alternate solutions (I didn't know about) from the issue being fixed in the last release (I don't think that most of the affected browsers will get that update automatically, since the users don't know what to do).
Clearly sooner or later this http3 setting will need re-enabled. Maybe not today, but still... (I will wait until I am 100% sure I have a new version running.)

Fortunately HTTP/3 is still on draft, so disabling it won't affect your experience since most website don't bother support protocol which is in draft state.
It is still a draft, though the Wikipedia page for it states:
Quote from: http3
..
As of January 2022, the HTTP/3 protocol is still officially an Internet Draft, but is already supported by 73% of running web browsers,[3] and according to W3Techs 24% of the top 10 million websites

I checked the source (https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-http3) and looks like HTTP/3 adoption rise quickly in last 11 months. Last time i heard news about HTTP/3, the adoption was lower than 1%. But since i never have problem accessing website which use HTTP/3 protocol, looks like they offer backward compatibility so i never noticed it.
Thanks a lot for the information, had a hanging Firefox after it was updated in my Debian Linux. Your trick fixed it.

P.S. If you use Tor Browser (which based on Firefox), you don't need to do anything since it's disabled by default.

To the mods: I don't know where to put this. I feel it's somehow forum related, since one has to use a browser to get here.
I don't know if people having troubles will get here, still, it worth a try.
I've noticed today the Firefox has become unresponsive while browsing the forum. The problem was Firefox (and not the extensions or anything).
And the fix is easy, I've found it on twitter: https://twitter.com/jbaiter_/status/1481543050438619139
So:
about:config
Set network.http.http3.enabled to false.
Restart Firefox (may need to do it with task manager).
Update: this fix is obsolete now. New Firefox version was released (96.0.1), it has the proper fix, you better update to that one (and revert the http3 setting to default)

If you're having trouble with #firefox, try disabling HTTP3 in about:config with the 'network.http.http3.enabled' key. After setting this and restarting Firefox everything worked again.
So:
about:config
Set network.http.http3.enabled to false.
Restart Firefox (may need to do it with task manager).
