   Upgraded from Firefox 140 to 141 on the Pi Zero 2 and it's working   
   much better. Loads old-fashioned sites fine (though very slowly)   
   and some modern ones if their Javascript is blocked. With JS or   
   just big webpages it often gets stuck though.   
      
   Weirdly the User-Agent header it sends out says x86_64 though it   
   says AARCH64 within the browser. Seems it's unwise to be honest   
   about using ARM when talking to some web servers:
