Firefox Community Forum

Greetings...

I have noticed in my Windows 10 Task Manager that Firefox has an excessive number of processes active when Firefox is started with only one empty tab. By excessive, I found eleven (11) Firefox processes today, and I have yet to even start using Firefox.

I have only a simple Theme enabled and no Extensions enabled in my Firefox. I have tried deselection of the "Use recommended performance settings" but this does not appear to help. Disablement of my Theme increased the number of Firefox processes.

Any idea how I can significantly reduce the number of Firefox processes that appear in my Task Manager when I use Firefox? I really prefer to use Firefox as my go-to web browser, but lately it has become troublesome at times.

Thank you in advance for your help with the above problem. Take care...

When I search for something, the location bar no longer shows the address and the star to add bookmarks unless I click on a little globe. I installed a Firefox update not long ago but this has only just happened. I'd like to be able to just bookmark searches like I used to.

I have a folder with many bookmarks in it, and when I want to open multiple links in the folder but not ALL of them, I have to keep opening the bookmarks folder after middle clicking each link 1 at a time. I can't open the entire folder - there are 100+ and say I want to open 10.

Is there a way to keep the bookmark folder open while I open each link in new tabs?

Thanks!

Hi, Google, is my search engine of choice on Mozilla Firefox, and the Os on my computer is Windows 10. Google search is no longer active from any scroll down or top tab bar. Have a nice day.

I currently use an extension to fill passwords, so I have passwords in firefox turned off. However, one of my logins shows an 'eye' which I believe is firefox wanting to provide the password. I don't know how the eye got there, as all my other logins work with the extension. I have to go to the extension and physically copy the password to paste it in the password box. If I go to firefox settings, I have no passwords set. How do I get rid of the 'eye' for that login?

Can’t login to EFTPS.gov using Firefox and Login.gov. I receive an SSL error message.

I run FF on a Windows desktop. I have 5 pinned tabs and one tab group. Today when I opened FF all of these had disappeared. This has happened before, so I have a screenshot of the 5 tabs and can restore those, but I didn't make one of the tab group (given that the whole point of it was to SAVE the tabs), and unfortunately those were the result of a lot of time spent researching.

Is there something I can to do make sure these tabs all actually get saved from one session to the next? This unreliability of FF wastes a lot of time and starts me thinking about going back to Chrome which at least has the virtue of more stability. What is the point of all these features (I was really happy when you created the tab groups) if I can't rely on them?

Xfinity streaming works on Chrome and Safari but it stopped working on Firefox a few days ago. Why? I am using the latest Firefox version 140.0.4 (64 bit) and I can only receive my emails. The connection to the streaming service does not open. The Xfinity logo just sits there spinning and no connection. Please fix this. I much prefer Firefox to other browsers BUT....

Support Firefox to be able to use different tab view modes on different windows! For example, two Firefox windows on different monitors, in my situation below:

- One on a 1920*1080 hori screen, with vertical tab sidebar disabled - One on a 1080*1920 vert screen, with vertical tab sidebar enabled for this window only in this case.

It brings much more convenience, at least for situations just like mine :)

I am having issues with sites, where I can access main page but then when i try to move onto another area of the site I just get spinning. I have had this on different sites, from Amazon, Disney. I have tried clearing cache, i have made sure Firefox up to date but can be very sporadic.

When i mouse wheel click the bookmark folder, it always switches to the first tab when doing so. This notably doesn't happen when i click the non-folder bookmark. Is there a way not to have this behavior ?
