Hello,

I am reporting a performance issue specifically related to Google Search's AI features (AI Overviews) in Firefox 149.0.2 on macOS.

The Issue: When an AI-generated summary appears in Google Search results, GPU usage spikes significantly, reaching up to 212%. This causes the laptop to overheat and triggers high fan speeds.

Critical Comparison:

Firefox 149.0.2: Extreme GPU load and performance degradation when rendering Google AI elements.

Google Chrome 147.0.7727.56: Works perfectly with normal GPU usage under the same conditions.

Tested on two different MacBooks: MacBook Pro (A1502), 16GB RAM, i7 (2015) — OS: macOS Monterey. MacBook Pro (MMQX3), 64GB RAM, M1 Max (2021) — OS: macOS Sequoia (15.x/Tahoe).

So far hate new Firefox that I have been forced to switch to - very annoying and such a waste of my time trying to sort out my bookmarks. May make me switch to Edge or something.

Followed the instructions - C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - found a backup but no information as to how to get the bookmarks into the new Firefox?????

Many of us are older users and perhaps not so savvy as to how to do this.

And so it would have been nice if Firefox could have been more "nice and be specific" with this forced change over.

Thank you

When Exporting Address Book saved email addresses exceeding two are not exported. Why?

Recently, I exported my Address Books, i.e., Personal and Collected as CSV files. Looking through those files I discovered that not all "Fields" from the Address Book had been included during export. Some of my contacts include three or four email addresses. The CSV Header added to the top of my exports only shows "Primary Email" and "Secondary Email" in the Header. There may also be other Fields of information that are not exported, but I haven't looked and, frankly, didn't expect to have to check my exported files. When editing a Contact if that contact has more than two email address I expected those to be part of the export file. I am running the current version of Thunderbird on my Windows 11 computer and an earlier version on a Windows 7 computer. Both versions of Thunderbird do not export all Field Data from the Address Books.

I have two different email accounts in Thunderbird. One is a Gmail account one is from Comcast.net. When I start Thunderbird it checks Gmail fine, but then I get a little pop up in the lower left-hand corner it says Comcast has blacklisted my IP. After a few more seconds a dialogue box pops up asking for my password. When I type in my password I get the same crap over and over.

I know my IP is not blacklisted because I can log on to my Comcast account in a browser no problem same IP. What's going on, do you think I picked up some sort of malware? I've scanned I can't find anything.

I've been using TB for years. Lately I can be browsing the Inbox when the contents will disappear and I get a message saying something like no messages found. After about 30 seconds the Inbox is displayed again.

TB never used to do this and it is similar to Firefox refreshing the screen which it also never used to do this.

Also how do I get from the Beta version to the standard version?

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

Since the most recent update installed on Firefox, my homepage no longer loads on opening the browser. Instead, a blank page loads, and I have to hit the home button in order to get to my home page. I've checked and none of my settings have changed, so don't see what else it can be other than some kind of bug?

Issue: Rapidly scrolling up or down often creates an unintended blank space (margin) at the top or bottom of the tab list.

Symptom: When this gap appears, the mouse cursor's focus becomes misaligned with the actual tab selection point by the height of that gap.

Behavior: Scrolling back toward the gap usually forces it to disappear, which also restores the correct alignment between the cursor and the selection point.

Reproducibility: The exact trigger is inconsistent. While it happens most often during fast scrolling, it sometimes occurs during slow scrolls as well. The frequency is unpredictable—sometimes occurring every time, and other times once in five attempts.

Whenever Firefox offers or I request a translation it always, without fail, offers Estonian as the destination language.

I deleted all the languages from the app (or whatever) and just downloaded the ones I require but that made no difference.
