I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

Hello, I use Windows 10, I downloaded Firefox using Microsoft Edge. Once it is installed, it creates an Icon then when you double click it, it does not open, even when I try to open as administrator and it opens, it does not look like a Firefox page because it is a blank page. My browser is Opera, but I opened Firefox from Microsoft Edge. Email me at chemist12@yahoo.com please.

in Austria I used to sign documents with the mobil phone and TAN-code. The system changed (now ID-Austria) where it is possible to sign documents using fingerprint, eye-scan or a FIDO2-key like Idem-key or YubiKey. It seems that this should be possible for Mac-users using google chrome. I don´t want to install google chrome only to sign documents! Is there a possibility to define a code for using FIDO2 keys with firefox. Keys are already defined in Mac settings but I can not use them to sign. thank you Robert

Less than a week ago, all of a sudden I couldn't access my website anymore. I can access my website on my ipad and iphone but not my computer. It isn't the ISP. I don't even know if it is the browser as I downloaded a new browser and it did it there but I have cleared every cache, reissued an SSL, cleared local DNS cache. Talked to a developer. I am at a loss. I can neither see mywebsite on my computer, nor can I log in and edit it. I have also checked with the server side and every test they could run says that it is all working just fine!

I appear to have two Firefoxes running at the same time. A notice saying I have another Firefox running appears when I turn on my computer in the morning and boot up. It then asks how I want to proceed and gives me two choices. When I click “Close Firefox” the notice disappears and my Firefox windows start running.

How do I find the Firefox running in the background and get rid of it?

My page loads very slowly and awkwardly with the wrong fonts. Only several seconds later it manage to change to the correct fonts. This creates a really bad user experience.

How can I fix this? I have already cleared cache, but the issue seems to be present still. When I tried to make the page builder company test it on their end, they also see the issue still, and they told me to reach out here to Mozilla for a solution, as it loads properly on other browers like Chrome, Safari, Edge and Opera.

Thank you.

Website won't open using Firefox; it may be due to NoScript Add-on but not able to set NoScript to less secure setting

I'm not able to reach a webpage melsa.overdrive.com using Firefox, but I can reach it OK using Chrome. I get a message that says "Error loading page". This may be due to my NoScript add-on, but usually I can overcome that sort of problem by right-clicking on the page and then setting NoScript to a less secure setting. However, in this case, when I right-clicked on the page and then tried to left-click on NoScript in the drop-down menu, nothing happened (see attached screenshot). So the only way I can overcome the problem in this case is to disable NoScript entirely. Why am I not able to access NoScript to set it to a less secure setting, rather than disable it entirely? And is there a way to overcome that?

I'm on a Mac running OS 10.14.6. I have consistently updated, and currently have Firefox 115.20.0esr. Yesterday a tax website said my Firefox was out of date, and wanted me to update. From within Firefox I clicked to update, and it downloaded an installer. But when I installed this new update, it's the same version: 115.20.0esr.

Can you shed any light on this? Is there any reason to keep this "new" version of Firefox?

Thank you for your help!

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.
