Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

Firefox show's my location when 'Googling'

In 'about:config' I have my geo set to disable, I tried it enabled and turning it back, also in 'Settings' Location shows empty and I can not get it to see Google nor can I manually insert it.

Any idea what is going on please??

Hello,

My previous Firefox account under the email m**********i@*****ail.com has been locked. The message says it was locked due to a returned confirmation email, but the email is working fine now — I’m currently receiving emails from Firefox.

I’m unable to log into the old account to resolve the issue or change the email. I have since created a new account (this one), but I would like to recover access to the original account if possible.

Could you please help me unlock it or advise on the next steps?

Thank you.

Hi, I want to make a simple extension for Firefox that auto toggles vertical tab based on the aspect ratio of the Firefox window. I found `sidebar.verticalTabs` in about:config that toggles vertical tabs, but a simple googling tells me that it is not possible for web extension to modify about:config values. Is there any other API that toggle vertical tabs? Thanks!

When I select Dark Theme, I DON'T wanr to see this. I just noticed this on my Linux Mint desktop machine tonight when I logged in. I also have Dark Reader installed and it isn't affecting ioit eitherit either. Make this go away. It burnsssssss!

Windows 10; Firefox 141.0

According to the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" command:

"Window 2 is current" and there is "Window 1" (which contains recent work)

My question(s):

How can I switch from window 2 (current) to window 1 (recent work)? and/or How can I combine both windows?

Thank you. (For your information, I have had a partial stroke, and I am 79 years old.)

I'm using the vertical tabs feature. I also tried enabling the "Expand sidebar on hover" option, which minimizes the side bar, and only expands it when you hover on it.

Issue: I have a lot of open tabs, and I'm usually working with the ones at the bottom of the list. When the bar minimizes the scroll position resets back to the beginning. So, every time I want to select a tab, I have to scroll back down, which makes this feature very hard to use.

Expected behavior: After the vertical bar minimizes, and I hover again, it should keep the scroll position.

Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

when i login my google account on firefox they say this browser is not try another browser. and if you already use supportive browser then try again and if click on try again and try it they still show me same statement.

Hello, I'm reporting this issue for the 2nd time in as many days because it appeared to have corrected itself late yesterday, but is back again today.

In a nutshell, installing the new Firefox 141.0 update conflicts with the Reddit login procedure making it impossible to do so. Here is the issue as reported yesterday for more detail:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1524793

I followed the suggestions I was given, i.e. to try logging in at the Old Reddit site (https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/) and to disable my Adblock Plus extension, neither of which worked.

BTW, I tried logging into Reddit using another browser and it works fine.

So I performed another System Restore to eliminate the Firefox 141.0 update, then went into Firefox Settings and disabled "Automatically install updates", and can log into Reddit again with no problem.

Firefox is my preferred browser and Reddit is my preferred social media site, so I'll have to stop updating Firefox from this point on unless and until the developers correct the issue, or someone can provide insight into what's causing this and what to do about it.

Below are screen shots of the Reddit notices I get when trying to login with the Firefox 141.0 update installed:
