Firefox Community Forum

I have windows 10. Last 3 or 4 months I have been getting notices from firefox for updates. Dismiss or install. When I install the update and at the some point log off the internet. The next time I log onto the internet the computer takes 5-10 minutes to load my home page. I assume this is because it is installing the update? Any way to speed this up? I'm thinking of disabling updates because of this problem. Thanks. Brian

I often keep firefox running for several days at a time, usually with 2 tabs open. This current tab generates 15 processes in Windows Task Manager, and uses 1.2MB memory.

Opening two more tabs (news sites) took it up to 57 processes (3.9MB, or 88% of memory)

The problem is that over time, even when I close unused tabs, many of the extra processes don't stop running.

What can I do about that? Is there a setting I need to adjust for this?

Adding extra memory is not an option on this machine.

Thanks.

This problem, annoynace, has become overwhelming of late. It appears everytime a have a FF version download, this problem increases. Any help advice would be appreciated. Dan

After discovering my Firefox somehow uninstalled, I re-installed it and have taken hours to restore all that was lost. I now want to reinstall the wallpaper I had.

Just as the title explains. Firefox isn't updating any of my extensions. I hit detect updates, it says it didn't find any, but several blue icons on the extension page show up stating that the extension can be updated. When I select it I am able to click "update", but, as those quotation marks suggest, it does absolutely nothing. Restarting the browser also does not update the extensions. The only way I can get them to update is if I remove and read the extension.

The "never translate x" button is greyed out. Why?

Can´t add the language to the "never translate" languages in the settings either.

Thank you for your time and effort kind strangers! :)

Hi guys, Had Firefox as network default browser for decades. Now I have a problem with my DNS pihole filter, firefox just goes around it. I've read countless articles on how to stop this, I've tried DoH 0 and DoH 5, I've placed a file policies.json in a distribution folder. I've tied everything I can find on the net. Nothing and I do mean nothing, had the slightest effect. Firefox goes around whatever I try.

I've spent many, many hours on this please tell me how to kill this, I'm forced to use another browser at the moment, which is painful.

version 142.0.1 64bit W11.

Thank you Bob.

Basically, i need my tabs restored. I tried lurking around. I lurked moar. I chatGPT it. I even tried to find tech support. Nothing helpful ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I have a lot of tabs that i need and they accumulated over months of my chrome usage. I successfully restored history and other things, but not open tabs. Well, how do i restore them or do i have to manually open all of them?

Note: i deleted chrome already

The release notes for 142.0 say:

  Keep an active tab visible in a collapsed tab group
  Focus on just one tab in a group without the clutter. Your active tab stays in view, keeping
  things tidy even with the group collapsed.

But it does not define what an "active tab" is. I usually have a group which never collapses, it always has one or more tabs visible no matter what I do. Is this a bug? Or is there some way to stop tabs from being 'active'?

i took my laptop into ubreakifix for inactive keyboard issue, after 3 updates one being Microsoft bios update. the ubreakifix got the keyboard recognizing fingers again yet had deactivated my wifi network abilities to get online. i went through several restores until i have both working now.

My biggest concern is my Mozilla PIN on security & passwords has been deactivated, along with Microsoft syncs of pin requirements. Im still finding personal settings that have been changed without my permission. how do i get my security back up to par with Nightly and Mozilla protections all activated?

I also keep getting this bit defender popup on all reboots.

When I expand the Firefox page to fill my screen the top section of the application is completely blocked (see picture) I can only see about .125 or less in of the bookmark section. Everything else is blocked. No other application is having this problem, only Firefox. Until this evening Firefox has worked just fine.

When the application is not set to fill the screen I can see everything fine. (see picture).

I have uninstalled program and reinstalled... no luck. I've cleared out all history, cookies, etc... no luck.

Please advise.
