Firefox supportforum

Hello! Since my last update (yesterday, I think?), the predictions that pop up in the Firefox Google homepage search (center of the page, not the toolbar one) are in unreadable very light colors on white. I use a dark theme, and I have some vision problems. I can't find anywhere to change that particular color setting. Aaaand searching for a fix is hard since I can't see any of the search predictions.

I'd love any info on either how to change that, and if not, perhaps to report a bug.

Cheers, Regina

I have logged on and opened only five tabs. I now have 13 Firefox instances. Firefox has gotten unusable. I've tried everything that Mozilla and others recommend. Don't bother to tell me to uncheck "Use recommended performance settings." Who hasn't don't that already. I also don't need to read that this is normal. I HATE Chrome but will have to switch to it if I cannot improve my very slow functionality. People need real solutions, not the same answer pasted into every complaint about this. Perhaps the answer is that you have no solution.

I even tried to set the autostart option to "false" as some suggest to disable multi-processes. I think that's made it worse.

I have fought this for several years but now, the situation is very much worse. I've been exiting Firefox and getting back in to stop so many processes (sure, sure, instances) but now I see 13 instances with only 5 tabs opened. Within 10 minutes, I have 13 processes running. Call them instances if you like, but they are 13 separate .exe files that are slowing me almost to a stop.

Hi,

My wife & I have used Firefox for some considerable time now and like it a lot.

However, we have been having trouble with Firefox recently and wonder if you are aware of this. It manifests itself in a very subtle way with only some FEATURES of a particular website not operating, (but no ‘warning’ messages whatsoever).

To begin with, I was at a loss to understand why something didn’t work but, now that this has happened to me on THREE different websites (with features that work perfectly well under MS Edge!), I have come to the conclusion that Firefox is the only “common denominator”.

The first problem was with https://www.parcel2go.com. They have a “Live Help” (Chat) feature. It no longer works with Firefox!

The second was with https://account.patientaccess.com. Try to order “repeat prescriptions” and all is well – until you hit “send”. It no longer works with Firefox!

Today, I have discovered that with https://www.bt.com I am now longer able to access my BT email accounts. Furthermore, they also have a “chat” facility – except that is now also ‘invisible’ to Firefox!

I have seen mention that DuckDuckGo (which I also use) might be involved here?

What’s happened?!!

task manager has 9 operations running, trying to eliminate possiblities before last alternative turn to microsoftopoly, set to firefox recommendations everytime i need the speed or 100% of wide band frequency something is running in background, hard drive wont shutdown. I used to be able to gain some by restart. Doesn't seem to have same effect as used to, then I wud have to disconnect internet just to shutdown or it wud take a very long time, so that was my go to; disconnect internet, I feel that i shud not have to go to such extremes to use MY computer, now even that doesn't solve problem for very long, way back when , hard drive wud shut down after i stopped type idle minute or so, now i'm not sure it ever stops unless i disconnect internet then it will, this tells me something in background is running , wont shut off, when i start typing, so i just want to eliminate microjunk telling me its firefox' operation and i shud uninstall it and use EDGE. wud a VPN possibly eliminate if a program was using internet to communicate to whoever? if possible, does firefox have like 30 day trial period for access to VPN? Wud that even stop activity it's a microsoft product running? sending screenshots of task managers operations running at this point 3 sceens open, SmartNews; *Settings; Get Support / Mozilla Support...acting up just now, moment i stop clicking for few seconds, response is delayed couple seconds, I use onscreen keyboard to converse, clicking single letter at a time, also use HDMI into large screen monitor, thanx for all firefox' help you do make a difference . i greatly appreciate speed and knowledge you & firefox has done for accessibility to internet . taking to long to upload second page , i will cancel second pg, and other nine. i'm unable to stop or cancel upload image, started upload at 12:25pm , i do NOT want to reclick this whole message again, this is part of frustration i feel when tech ppl get something wrong, since i have no education in writing code, i'm basically helpless, how long to wait now.. .... .......... .....................try to send/submit, hope that works.

I have a home desktop running OpenBSD -current (snapshots), and FIreFox is obtained from the OpenBSD package system.

When I update to a new snapshot and updated packages, the preferred display setting (dim) is lost. I don't have to log in again, but I have to reset the display.

I don't know where that selection is stored, but I'd like to make it persistent.

It's about Mozilla Firefox contributors and, well, stubbornness.

As one who truly liked the very easy to use previous Print Preview, I'm concerned that jscher2000 (Top 10 Contributor) may be "protecting his 'turf'" rather than listening to people requesting a return to the well-liked drop-down option...which was faster, easier to use and, also, easier to see (size-wise).

After, re-explaining himself (herself?) to questions/requester persons, responses offered, to be generous, were less than helpful. The were simply repetitions, with no apparent understanding of the frequently made statements, that the old version was easier to use and read, i.e., no gain was made by changing, it was just a change. And, in my opinion, which was probably made by someone seeking credit for a "change." A change that wasn't, and isn't, for the better.

My but clue, with that regard, was Mr/Ms's dissatisfaction with someone "shouting," i.e., using all capital letters. Frankly, I was ready to scream after all of jscher2000's repetitious defenses.

Please, guys, you certainly have the code. Just put it back. (I'd have used an exclamation point at the end of the last sentence, but I decided not to risk offending a Mozilla contributor.)

I am trying to run Firefox 98.0.2 for linux running xubuntu it constantly hangs I turned off hardware acceleration did no good just now I was surfing and as usual it hung about half way through the site it froze the mouse still moves as usual so I clicked the three line menue bar after about a minute it stated working again for about 15 seconds has been froze now for at least 2 minutes. Firefox just restarted after mouse pointer disappeared so far fine but won't last. I use opera mostly no issues at all

My Firefox tabs usually restore when I open my browser. Now they have all gone after I clicked on a pop up inviting me to update my browser. How do I get them back? .......or stop this happening in future?

For the past three days I have been unable to see https://candobetter.net on the firefox browser. One of my friends has the same problem. It shows up normally on other browsers - Opera, Edge. It is important for me that people can see my site. Can anyone there help, please.

So why can't Firefox make their bookmark system more simple? I can spend 10 minutes looking for a bookmark that I KNOW I have & end up just googling for the site.

Go back to a working version of Firefox, raht than giving us an 'update' poorly written Firefox that constantly causes problems. I don't expect this missive to be recognized by anybody but it frees me to go to another browser (that works.)

cmd+numbers on alphanumeric keys should switch to respective tab (cmd+1 to 1st tab, cmd+5 to fifth...). With CZ keyboard layout on MacOS, cmd+1 does NOT switch to first tab, it Zooms In instead. No other browser (Edge, Safari, Opera, Orion) exhibits this behaviour. Other numbers work as expected.

FF 98.0.2 on Monterey 12.2.1.

How do I fix this? Thanks.
