I rarely turn my laptop off, when I'm not using it I put it into sleep mode. Firefox absolutely hates this though, and after a few days it will slow to a torturous crawl. Everything becomes horribly irresponsive, feels like nails on a chalkboard. It can even get to the point where it will randomly delay my cursor in Windows 10 itself by 10 SECONDS along with some bleed into other programs while switching between them. Fully closing Firefox then re-opening it will reset the issue, starting the timer again, but I hate doing this because I have doing that set to log me out of various sites which I then have to re login to, letting the torture boil until I give in. This has been my Firefox experience on laptop for at least 5 years now. Other forks of Firefox have this same issue.

I am leaving Firefox in the torture state currently to troubleshoot here. Currently the memory usage on Firefox is 6GB at 54% of my total ram, which is being used at 84% total. Total CPU usage is 23%. Wrote this on my desktop for my sanity so that's why there's no troubleshooting information.

I cannot play games plus will now lose my 7M for each daily login and the four spins I can do every four hours

After moving to a new laptop my Mozilla appearance changed drastically such that often the text is invisible (sometimes clicking on "select all" is a sub-optimal workaround".) Some images are blank spaces. I've tried working with "Website Appearance" in the settings to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Good morning, We are using ver. 150. We have noticed that the landing page for Microsoft 365 does not have the apps tab on the left side of the page. Microsoft has redirected the Office apps landing page to a Copilot centric web page. There is a small Apps tab on bottom left which does not display on Firefox. Anyone have an idea why ?. Thank you,

I see a youtube video ready to play when I open my wifi icon on the taskbar. Only happens when Firefox has Youtube open in a tab and I've watched at least one video in preview mode or on the video page. I really wish to turn it off if I can.

I have very often issues with Firefox/Captcha. Captcha is not recognized by GFirefox, and the communication with the website using Captcha is blocked. It is very irritating. When it won't be fixed I need to move to another browser

Hi,

I’ve just setup my Mac (Tahoe 26.3.1) again as it was compromised.. Now, I was very vary of which applications, apps, logs, certificates, …. etc are installed // running.

Unfortunately, I’ve crashed my Firefox browser as I’ve seen weird names on the settings section -> certificates. I’ve just deleted them…. Once I was done, I couldn’t load any website anymore. Now, I’ve opened up a new profile (Main Profile), migrated passwords, bookmarks and checked the main settings (not touching the certificates…). The Original Profile & Profile 2 are obsolete.

Result: I can load websites again, have my bookmarks and access everything needed but now, I can’t sign back in into my Mozilla Firefox account to keep syncing everything between my Iphone, Mac and my account (just in case I’m crashing it again..).

Issue Remaining: When I’m trying to sign in entering my email address the ERROR: “Unexpected error” comes up… That wasn’t the case beforehand.

Anybody with a potential solution or steps and settings for an idiot to check if they’re correct?

Much appreciated!!!

PS: Screenshot attached from the “Original” crashed account when I’m trying to load ANY websites….

I don't know which topic describes my question. I want to put the New York Times as a short cut on my firefox home page and it won't do it. For a bit of history, I USED to have the short cut and one day it was removed by Firefox when it re-arranged things.

My problem may not be from the same cause, but I'm experiencing the same issue. Ever since my MacBook M3 Max updated to Tahoe, Firefox has been draining my battery incredibly fast. Before Tahoe, I could count on 8-9 hours of constant work with mixed use of higher processing work. Now, I'm lucky to get 4 hours of light browsing. Before I totally blame Apple, has anyone else experienced a recent shift?

Running Firefox in Kinoite - whenever I set a page to Reader view it is blank.

I have restarted in troubleshooting mode and it works, so I followed all the steps to try to identify what the problem is but nothing has worked.

I tried:

- Troubleshooting mode - worked - Disabling hardware acceleration - did not work - Disabled all extensions - did not work - Switched to default theme - did not work

Anyone any ideas?

TIA
