Hello. I have a problem with firefox lagging on high end pc, these are my specs for context: cpu - ryzen 7 9800x3d gpu - rtx 5070 ram 32 gb ddr5 6000mhz motherboard - msi b850 wifi 6e

i have a folder of bookmarks called "social media". When i want to check every website there (for example: telegram, discord, whatsapp), i start manually opening them up, so i hit the folder, click the needed icon, open new tab, repeat everything. And the moment i turn on 2 tabs like that, everything starts lagging. I don't think that my pc is the problem, because it is not even half a year old + it has good specs. Maybe there is a setting that i accidentally turned off/need to turn on to remove this problem? I love firefox, and i am using it for a while now, but now i am thinking about switching browsers because of this constant lag that happens. With all due respect, Emin.

P.S. i know that you can open all of the bookmarks right clicking the bookmark folder and then pressing "open all bookmarks", but most of the times i don't need to open all of the bookmarks, that's why i open everything as i said earlier.

For quite some time now, I am unable to sign in to my account at CanadianTire.Ca I get an error. The signon process goes to CustomerAuth.Triangle.Ca for the email and password input. When I click "Sign In" the return message is a yellow triangle followed by the word "undefined" (see attached).

All other browsers I have (Brave, Chrome and Edge) can sign in without issue.

I noticed that other users have the exact same issue. I have tried all solutions I could find. The browser is up to date as of today (150.0.2 64 bit). I tried troubleshoot mode, clearing the cache, deleting cookies, history .... On the web site I turned off ETP for CanadianTire.Ca and CustomerAuth.Triangle.Com.

I have used Firefox since it was v0.93.

Currently when I click a link in and email, it always opens in Microsoft Edge even though my computer has Firefox as default browser. Is there another setting I'm missing?

General Default browser

Firefox is your default browser. Good choice.

I've pretty much exhausted my simple little mind about this problem. At some point around the beginning of the year, Firefox changed the fonts on all my toolbars to some ridiculously miniscule font. I've queried Google's AI several times, tried every solution I've received, all to no avail. Is there a way to do this? I just want to enlarge the font in all the toolbars, not the web site contents, and lock it in. Thanks to whoever can help me achieve this.

Hi,

I shared a lot of important tabs to my laptop (using the firefox built-in share/send to other device button), upon starting it, they seemed to arrive just fine and opened on my laptop, however I accidentally clicked to "history"->"restore last session", which made this firefox window go away and all my sent tabs seem lost.

Is there any way to get them back? Any type of log?

I tried the following already: - Looking through History (they do not appear there at all) - Looking at recently closed tabs (there aren't any listed) - checking synced tabs window (did not contain the ones I sent from my phone to my laptop) - checked session recovery files ( none of my synced tabs seem to have gotten stored into that session recovery file)

So is there any other log or place I can look at? I refuse to believe that this is not saved anywhere? Or on mozilla servers at least? Can support help me?

Thanks for any ideas!

EDIT: I found this, may is something similar: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/send-tabs-log/idi-p/15640

This issue just started today.

I was attempting to watch a video on patreon, and normally I pop out the video so it is larger. This normally has no issues.

But today when I hit the button to pop it out, Firefox crashed.

Firefox then updated, so I thought maybe it was just because it needed to update.

I attempted this two more times with the same result. 

The first like I normally do where I start the video and then click the "pop out" button. Then the second time with the video paused. The minute I click the pop out option Firefox just crashes closed either way.

When I click on option/link for "Print using the system dialog box", the print preview no longer works. Instead I see message "This app doesn't support print preview" in preview pane.

Hey there since a week when I brows with Firefox on Windows desktop the RAM uses jumped from around 60% spiked to 92-95% RAM and that changed just come a long a week ago. If change brows like Chrome different story, back down at 65. So you can also see a massive number on Firefox system running.

Question: Whats the reason for the change? What happend?

Best, Janosch

I was trying to do something with my bookmarks yesterday and I must have pushed the wrong icon. Firefox then became unavailable. I'm 88 years old and not fully at home with computer language. I tried Chrome, but it's not available like Firefox.

Using Firefox on Windows 10 Pro & 11.

Beginning in v 150.0, when a media playback occurs, the audio volume in the player gets set to its maximum level. This is true for X.com media and for YouTube videos.

For YouTube it only happens for the first video played in a new tab; subsequent videos in the same tab 'remember' the volume setting from the prior video. In X.com, every media player invoked reverts to the maximum audio level.

In v 149.x and earlier, the media player maintained the audio level from its prior invocation.

Is there a way to have the media player 'remember' its previous audio setting when it gets invoked?

Steps that remove my pinned tabs from Firefox:

Open pinned web app from taskbar. Open regular Firefox browser.

Any pinned tabs that were in the browser before opening the web app are lost.

Is this already reported? I can't imagine this is intended behavior.

Went to VRBO website to look at a reservation and the website, which showed me as signed in, showed nothing of the reservation. Said I had no reservation,, no history of saved searches. When I used Microsoft Edge, all my previous reservations, searches etc. were accessible. I cleared my Firefox cookies, etc. still had the same problem

When I press F12 to use the developer tools and try to change the width of the panes by click and drag the divider there now seems to be a limit to the panes width that was not there before. I'm not sure with what version I stated to notice this. I use to be able to drag the right hand panel fairly far over to the left and could take up about 75-80% of the width of the developers window. Now I'm guessing that I'm able to drag the right panel to a max width of 35-40% for some reason. I have not changed anything in the about:config page. I'm not sure why I can't drag the right panel to cover the 75-80% of the window that I had been able to do.

Is there a setting in the developer tools or on the about:config page that sets the max width that the right hand panel can be dragged to the left?

ie every time I closed it it would reopen- 14 times when I am trying to read my emails yesterday and 6 today. but I thought it was my internet security causing the problem. I kept getting notification that a certain site was attempting to use my system,. The worst thing was it kept flashing on my screen and wouldn't go away, There was no clue who öwned it, my security or Mozilla's. It was finally resolved by contacting my computer guy, but we never identified the source. the site that was being blocked started with pssst.........com, or something similar but it was driving me mad trying to get it off the screen. If this happens again, how do I get rid or stop the continual notifications? Of course I have nothing to show you as I have since deleted it, sorry. as I was just relieved to see it gone.

Thank you Angela Johnson

Moderator note: This question has been edited to correct the formatting.

I have my credit card info correctly saved in the FF settings on my PC desktop, but it doesn't work correctly on some online forms.

When it fails to work I click on the truncated information for the saved credit card I wish to use, but it fills in later numbers in the sequence incorrectly with the wrong digits and too few numbers to even be a legitimate credit card number

I have double checked in the settings, "privacy and security", and the credit card numbers are entered correctly there and enabled.

The form I have most recently had issues with were for a local "big day of giving" site, and it is powered by something called "mighty cause."

I can't include a screenshot of the issue itself occurring or my settings, for obvious reasons.

My PC is windows 11 home edition, and the version of Firefox is 150.0.1 (I think).
