Firefox Community Forum

I would like to know whether this is a normal process that happens when using firefox browser or has my version of the app been compromised? Or should I allow this to be accessed?

just about every other website I request a website, says no can't connect now. (obviously good reason to find another browser)

browser gives couple lame fixes.

why don't you fix it

Is anyone else having problems after last update? UI too big for my laptop and most things not adjustable. Almost unusable any way to fix? Version 153.0.3 Everything is blocky like on Gmail left side too big and takes up 30% of screen. No way to adjust it.

Top of Screen where menu bar is , home screen options, Mobile Bookmarks and tabs is way to big and forces you to have to use the vertical tabs. I often work with multiple tabs and find it annoying to have to enlarge and shrink the vertical tabs when ever I want to switch tabs. Real Pain in the you know where.

I have been using firefox for many years and Love it. but if these issues persist, I might have to finally begin considering other options.

I would hate having to switch to Chrome. I dislike using that browser even thou most websites are being designed around it, which is inconvenient, but I have tried to tow the line and be loyal to my favorite opensource browser.

Please help. Any suggestions welcome.

I used to use the Google browser and within that I had a tool where I could put what looked like a sticky note on my emails and make notes like when I received the email, when I followed through on it, etc. I hear there is a tool like that for Firefox named Tags but cannot find it in my Settings. Has anyone found this and can you tell me how to access it if you have?

I have completely cleared relevant history. I am in the UK, so only use Amazon UK. Yet, even within a day of removing all trace of amazon.com, it shows up again in the list of top sites on a blank tab's address bar suggestions. (.com is not in bookmarks, shortcuts, or recent searches, which are the only other selections)

The only explanation I have for this is that amazon.co.uk is making back-end calls to amazon.com and polluting whatever mechanism is used for this list – even though the browsing history as I can see and manage it does not include any references to amazon.com whatsoever.

Please, either:

• tell me how to get the browsing history as shown in the new tab's suggestions to respect the browsing history as recorded and manageable, or
• tell me how I can have control to blacklist certain sites that contaminate the list despite there being no record of them within my browsing history

The only other detail that may play into this; the first time this appeared out of nowhere I suspect was also the point at which the Suggestions from sponsors magically appeared in settings, and was on by default. Ever since then, getting rid of amazon.com has been a Sisyphean struggle, as though unchecking the sponsors option were being ignored.

I'm running Windows 10 (from which I'm writing this), but I recently installed Firefox on my new Windows 11 laptop. Could this be the source of this (or other) problem(s)?

Not 100% sure if the topic is the right one, but here we go - I use a Macbook with Firefox 153.0.3, UK Keyboard (QWERTY) It's about the command + ` (the key in the left upper corner below the esc key, I made the ` bold so it's easier to see)

Sometimes, but only sometimes, the keyboard shortcut command + ` to cycle through open windows in Firefox does not work.

For example, I have two windows open (W1 and W2). If I'm in W1 I can use the command and it will cycle to W2. But using the same shortcut, I can't navigate back to W1. But if I use command+ SHIFT+ ` it works. This changes from day to day, sometimes it's command +` and sometimes it's command+ shift+`

This only affects Firefox, in all other programmes, the shortcut works as it should Can't find rhyme or reason- does anyone have an idea?

Immediately after restart and subsequently starting Firefox 153.0.3 my Windows 11, 16GB system shows that Firefox has started 11 processes, five of which account for most of the 1.2GB of RAM used. Why does Firefox run so many processes, and how can I make it use less RAM?
