On the above MBA with 4 GB RAM, I have High Sierra installed, a Catalina Dosdude version, and recently put Monterey on it with OCLP.
I thought everything went OK, but whenever I download a file with Firefox or Librewolf, the computer becomes (almost) unresponsive.
It won't freeze completely, the cursor still moves, but I can't click on other programs anymore to put them in the foreground (command + tab won't work either), the Dock won't change shape, the clock stays where it is even if I let the process take some minutes (i. e. the taskbar won't change), the fans go up high. I have to shut the MacBook down by holding the power button.
It's no use waiting for the file to download. Whether large or small files, the computer won't become responsive again after that file should have been downloaded.
This does NOT happen when I download the same file with Safari or Chrome Canary. So I thought it was a thing that affects all Firefox-based browsers. However, no problem downloading with Mullvad browser.
I did of course install all root patches after installing with OCLP. I even did it again just not to make sure. Nothing changed.
What could the problem be? This has never happened on any other OCLP install on other machines and I couldn't find this problem in forums.
