Firefox Community Forum

Hello I am having major problems with Firefox at the moment and have done for a while. I curently have four pages open but as you can see from the attached screen shot of my Task Manager, there are 14 Firefox processes. The usage is OTT on memory and everything else. Could you tell me why this is happening? Currently it is running in Troubleshooting mode but that is not doing anything to improve the problem. It has been known to shut my computer down, as it gets too hot. I run on Windows 10 and Bitdefender is my security. All help is gratefully received. Thanks Lisa

Websites like Medicare.gov give message like "We can't process your request at this time." This happens with increasing frequency on pages I know are valid and secure. MS Edge opens them with no problem.

Another example - my bank web site. Firefox triggers a whole series of confirmation tests from them but Edge gets in with just ID and password.

I am using a VPN from Malwarebytes. Windows 11 is the OS. Latest version of Firefox is installed (144.0.2 (64-bit))

I have been a long time Firefox user, but am starting to drift away to Edge because it connects to more web sites with less hassle.

What are my options?

I recently noticed that my Microsoft account remains active after I sign out if I press the back button. All my personal and account information is still displayed, indicating that the account is still signed in. I even tried clearing all browsing data and history, but that didn't resolve the issue. This doesn't happen with my Gmail account, nor when I access my Microsoft account using Edge or Chrome.

I understand that closing the browser likely signs me out, but I have no way to confirm that unless I check for active devices in my account settings. Can you explain why this timeout issue occurs? It seems odd, especially since Mozilla prioritizes security and privacy.

Hi everyone, I’m managing an online bill information website, and some users reported an issue when they try to download or print a PDF bill using Firefox. Sometimes the print preview doesn’t load, or the layout breaks, while it works normally on other browsers.

Is there any recommended Firefox setting, extension, or workaround to prevent this issue? Also, is there a specific print CSS or PDF format Firefox prefers to handle better?

If testing is required, this is an example page where users reported the problem: https://fescoebillcheck.pk/

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

So I'm just idly doing cleanup / maintenance work on my saved passwords and have encountered the most ridiculous error message:

• Vulnerable Password
• Learn more\
• This password has been used on another account that was likely in a data breach. Reusing credentials puts all your accounts at risk. Change this password.

Except I know the password is unique.

I have a strict username / password usage where every site gets a unique password, period.

Someone broke something in when it calls ABC = DEF

A bit over a month ago, I was away from home for several weeks. When I came back, a browser that worked perfectly before became near unusable with constant and random crashes. Sometimes they occur even with no user input. I have tried troubleshooting mode, I have removed all extensions, I have tried all the fixes I found on Google, I have reinstalled the browser, I have updated all the drivers, I have done MemTest86 which was passed with flying colours and I have even installed a firefox fork (waterfox) to try and fix this all to no avail. I have no clue where to go from here, as it feels very bizarre. All help is much appreciated.

whenever I do a Firefox update, there sometimes is a new extension included that I personally feel no use or need for..most of the time I can disable them w/programs like Ccleaner (see image), but some are persistent, and return the next time I open Firefox. Firefox always consumed a significant portion of my 8gigs of RAM, and my latest update to 144.02, it is approaching 15%. Any way I can stop this short of reverting back to previous version?

Comment faire svp ? je souhaite conserver toute mes informations et pouvoir basculer sur une autre adresse qui fonctionne en direct

Merci

description in German:

Ich habe vor langer Zeit ein Addon installiert. Jetzt wollte ich Firefox neu dekorieren. Deshalb habe ich das Addon in die Sidebar geschoben. Unten links in der Sidebar war dann der kleine Knopf für das Addon. Dadurch konnte das Addon aber nicht auf den aktuellen Offenen Tab zugreifen, jedenfalls hat es nicht funktioniert wie vorher. Also hab ich auf das add on Rechtsklick gemacht und es aus dem Sidebar gelöscht. Es ist jetzt nicht mehr in der Sidebar.

Leider schaffe ich es jetzt nicht mehr, das Addon wieder als Knopf in der oberen Leiste also über den Lesezeichen zu platzieren. Es taucht noch auf wenn ich den Knopf für Addons drücke, und es aus der Liste auswähle.

Kontext: Firefox on Windows Addon, was ich verschoben habe: Addy.io

Problem: Ich will das Addon wieder schnell öffnen können. Es ist nicht weg, es ist nur woanders.

Wie füge ich es wieder der Symbolleiste (oder dem Overflow Menu) hinzu?

this is a request. i have maybe 100 tabs open at any one time to support my research projects. i've recently used the group tab function--thank you Mozilla--but now i find a need to go to a group directly. firefox view does not currently support a "sort by group" function. it has sort by recent activity and sort by order, and a general search function. but it would be great if it could also sort by group in firefox view, too. can do? thank you, C Baron

I recently downloaded some Microsoft updates. When these were completed, and after restarting my computer, my Bookmarks & History were missing. I've attached a screen shot showing the error message. I've tried multiple links to recommended steps for correcting this, but nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions?

When doing a search I receive a message " Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to af.xdock.co. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG"

How do I fix this issue?
