Running Linux Mint 22 and FF 138.0.3. Normal practice is to leave 2 or 3 FF windows open on shutdown so the same windows and tabs will re-open on future boot-ups when opening FF. In the last several versions of FF as well as of the OS, those tabs appear on boot but display random text within a random tab for a given window. Also, the highlighted icon in the tray does not match the window that has opened. If I click and re-click the tray icons, they eventually display as expected.

Just trying to watch youtube

Open a video, the little circle goes around for a second or two, and starts playing (but it's not synched with the audio - the video starts playing a second or two after the audio starts playing)

Close all other apps, clear cache, restart, same problem

But I do NOT have this problem in other browsers

Do I have to quit using firefox?

I absolutely love the new tab groups on Firefox. I am a lawyer and i keep a TON of tabs open at the same time. I might be working on a case, and I can create all the tabs related to that case together, come back to it a day or more later.

I also open up a zillion news articles every day. Some are fun (Fun Articles Group), some are about our declining society (Rule of Law Group), some are about AI (AI Articles To Save), some are Case Law I save for my internal library (Case Law to Save Group).

The problem I am having is that each of the Windows where these various tabs are kept is are not seen by the Tab Names. So, if I go to my pinned Taskbar icons across the bottom of my screen, and toggle across the Firefox icon, the many different labels that pop up are ONLY the tab names.

That is, there is nothing reflecting the Group name to which the tab belongs. I just spent all this time grouping my tabs together in separate windows, and when I want to go quickly to one of those Windows (each Window has a Separate Group Name in my personal system), I cannot tell which one is which.

So, my recommendation is that Mozilla designate in the taskbar prompted tab items which Group each tab belongs to (if it is assigned to a Group). It would make toggling between the tabs sooooooo much easier and efficient.

Additionally, I love that when I assign a new item/tab to a Group, it automatically groups them with the other members/tabs in the Group. However, after a certain point, it gets ridiculous. Perhaps there can be an option where you can separate the Groups into two or more Windows (eg Group named Case Law to Save, if I have 10 different ones open, put the 11th one in a new Window, instead of just adding another tab to the ever-burgeoning Window full of tabs).

Maybe I am the only idiot who has so many tabs open that these issues are a problem. But the mere fact that Mozilla created the organizational tool of Groups suggests to me that I am not the only one who keeps a lot of tabs open at the same time.

I have no idea how to suggest this improvement to them. I am not a coder. I cannot contribute in this way.

Thanks to those who contribute to the improvement of this product! Michelle

This 404 Not Found message only started happening about 4 weeks ago on my Imac. I can't search anything without getting this message. Very frustrating. and I have to go to Google and have no problems Any ideas? Mozilla/Firefox Program up to date

In the last few days, after some minutes of usage, parts of Firefox become unclickable:

- I can still click on tabs to change tabs. - When hovering over the cross button to close a tab, it changes appearance as it should. Clicking the button does nothing. Ctrl+w still closes the button. - Clicking on the address bar does nothing. - Cannot click on back, forward, refresh buttons. - Cannot click on any add-ons. - Cannot click on preferences. - Can click on the button to open a new tab. There, I can enter an address. Once the page has loaded, address bar becomes unclickable again. - Bookmarks toolbar is still working as expected. - Keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t, ctrl-w, ctrl-l) still work as expected.

I'm running ``` Mozilla Firefox 138.0 20250428130755 20250428130755 ```

on Manjaro 25.0.1 with GNOME 48

Tell me how to fix this. I don't go into registries etc.. So, if the fix is at that level, please tell me what it is on a form that I can copy from and give it to whatever tech I can find to hire to fix the problem. Love to add images, but your notice of the crash is set up to make it impossible to copy.

Using Google Voice became unusable. Firefox too slow. Had been running just fine up till maybe a month ago when I finally gave in and allowed Firefox to update. Not knowing if it was a Windows or other issue I stupidly did a Windows reset and lost all my installed programs (including Firefox). I did a fresh install of Firefox and manually reentered passwords and bookmarks.

Ran fine for a day or two and is now again unusable. Cleared cache and appears to work OK at the moment but still sluggish.

For quite some time whenever I try to look up an email or name on the Gmail page, (9 black dot array) Googlle Apps/contacts, it's taken me to a broken page with a few email addresses llning the left side of the page. If I use the seach at the top, it just freezes up.

I am able to start an email and type in a few letters of the address and usually it will present some options but the Contact page itself is useless.

Is there a way to reload/write over the contact portion of Gmail LEAVING the contact info intact?

Browser is Firefox.

Thanks. joe

My Mozilla firefox is not working kindly resolve this issue . tms.nha.gov.in this site is not working on Mozilla firefox .

In daily work tasks, I end up with a large number of windows and tabs open. I am wondering if this is not adding to my extremely slow recovery of frozen tabs and windows and MANY instances of "Non-Responsive" everyday. Firefox is set to allow multiple processes, naturally, but I'm looking for ways to ease the pain here. If I disable Multiple Processes in Firefox v138.0.1, will I have problems running, for example, 5 windows with a total of 30 tabs spread across those Windows? (God knows I don't wanna have to grow up and actually manage the things I open up for stuff.) In addition, I am running Canva, sometimes Paint 3D, and Office 2021 concurrently. An associated question........in this most recent Firefox, how do I run Multiple processes, but limit the number of them to 5, for example? There used to be a setting in Firefox to do that, but I can't find it. I'm working with Windows 11-v24H2 on a Dell Inspiron 17 with an Intel Core i7-8550U CPU (about 7 years old) and 16Gb of Ram.........and sometimes I fall asleep waiting for many tabs, windows, and instances of Office 2021 to come back to work (I'm thinking they signed a Union deal, and didn't tell me about it.).

This has been going on and getting progressively worse for about 3-4 months.

Advice? Suggestions? I'd be truly grateful for any ideas you got.

Hello. For a while now I have been using the picture-in-picture feature to play a video in the corner while using other applications. It has been a great help as I have a single monitor.

Unfortunately, I have recently been encountering a severe issue with the feature over the last week. When attempting to use picture-in-picture while my computer is running a videogame (through Steam) my entire system will freeze. The audio still plays as normal, but the image is frozen and the system is unresponsive until I force a shutdown and reboot.

Any help at all in with this issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
