Looks as if Firefox was at least part of the problem.
Using the 'Brave' browser now, no hangups or slowdowns yet.

I installed on Windows first.
First search said BRAVE was not available for Linux Mint.
Found another site and am now installing Brave on other Linux machine.

Have you tried Ubuntu? IMHO, it is the best Linux OS out there. And there is no problem install Brave on it. In fact, there are hundreds, if not thousands of windows programs that have been modified to run on Ubuntu, as well as many other popular software written just for Ubuntu. I can even play the latest Battletech game on it.

Mint is a version of ubuntu.
Mint has a chrome like browser called Cinnamon but I have not tried it yet. May not need to brave-browser seems pretty good so far.

Hey. If you're into gaming, you should check out Battletech, by harebrained schemes. It available for Windows and Linux, has a great story line, and is also one of the most difficult games I've ever played. As a mercenary, it's not enough to win battles. You must win and make a profit. You must pay your mech warriors, repair damaged mechs, upgrade and buy new ones. If you run out of money, the game is over. Check it out. Read the reviews and look at gameplay videos. I think you'll like it.

Welll. Ok. But you have to have some fun. There's just something wrong with a person who doesn't play video games. No offense.😜

I forgot I also do sudoku.
And program micro controllers. Automated gardening.
Too many interests, reloading.
Problem I now face is getting at the battery in my Prius.
Battery is dead and won't take a charge, I think it is shorted.
Hatch must be opened to get at battery, but hatch is electric.
Just ranting sorry.

Why in the world did you a piece of crap Prius? Sell it and buy something sensible, like a 69 mustang.😉
