Firefox supportforum

Speed test on a freshly booted machine is 100/100Mbps ... very often after viewing a youtube video in Firefox, this Speed test can slow down to below 20Mbps which results in a poor streaming experience ... I have a 150/150 fiber connection and the modem speed test doesn't change ... nothing to do with anything downstream ... not running anything else except FF ... always running with the latest up to date version(s) ... things of note: the process count goes up when this occurs ... even if FF is restarted it doesn't resolve this issue ... only a reboot resolves the issue ... when rebooting there is always some UNKNOWN process that needs to be manually terminated before the reboot process runs.

I suspect one of the multilayered (FF appears to open multiple sessions with streaming) processes may be getting widowed and left running and not releasing resources which causes less and less bw to be available ... this appears to occur mostly if I either Fast Forward or try to click forward or backward on a stream timeline suggesting to me that the current timeline may not be closing properly ... process manager doesn't reveal any processes linked to firefox but there are numerous svchost processes which I expect may be involved

Are there other ways/tools to narrow down this issue so the Mozilla team might be able to fix this ... I use FF exclusively but this has become more and more of an annoyance.

My i7 2TB 2.6GHz 8GB laptop is unable to move beyond W7 64b pro but I have had the same experience on a W10 64b Pro machine so very skeptical that this is an OS related issue.

Ultimately if FF kept track of the PIDs it opens it should be able to force them to close if they refuse to close on their own. Kill Process tree ... or ... perhaps provide a log that is user accessible identifying opened PIDs so that a user could manually kill widow processes without having to reboot.

I would like to do an update of Firefox Browser. I've been unable to log in to websites, such as my bank, for which I have been able to access. Strange but I could log in, then for about a week I couldn't log in to bank site via my Icon shortcut. Then it began working again under the original icon. I was forced to use google during this time, which has worked. I prefer Firefox, because of more privacy. Again today, I was unable to access aaa.com, I was able to sign on via my iphone 8. Then I tried Google sign on, again it worked. This problem is intermittent. I thought I'd make sure Firefox Browser was updated. I have windows 7 on this computer. The browser update seemed to start then just hang.

Just installed Firefox and it turned all my .webm videos and .PDF files into Firefox HTML Documents. This is totally unacceptable, how can this browser be released to the public this way. I need access to the videos for editing for work. Our software will not recognize HTML documents as videos.....gee, there's a surprise. Now, my manager is giving me a hard time for installing Firefox, since the preferred browser that we're suppose to use is Google Chrome. He's telling me I need to get this resolved because they're not going to pay for our IT guy to come in and fix it. I've always used Firefox in the past and never had this problem until I reinstalled the Windows operating system and reinstalled Firefox. How do YOU fix this, I need the videos back in their true format.

How do I get the previous version of Firefox back? I woke up this morning to a completely different website than when I went to bed last night. Whoever thinks this upgrade is an improvement is nuts. It took me 2 hours just to TRY to set it up as I had it including getting past the initial instructions for "refreshing" Firefox (no explanation provided for why it was even necessary), finding my bookmarked sites, setting up my preferences. Even though I have turned the popup blocker on, I lose the top quarter of my screen to an unwanted Walmart ad that I can't turn off. It follows me down the page, popping up in different places. There are also smaller ads that are unwanted, annoying, and impossible to block. And as for your "educated guesses", you guessed wrong. I'm a user not a techie. Right now the best solution seems to be deleting Mozilla products and moving to Chrome or Edge.

Howdy!, I'm running Firefox 94.0.1 64bit on a Windows 7 PC, and there isn't anything going wrong, but I would like to be able to sort the list of files being downloaded at the top of the list from files that have completed downloaded automatically, and I can't seem to find any help topics about this already.

For example if I am downloading 20 files, I understand that only the last 5 files I started to download will appear and will show in the list unless I click on the "show all downloads" button at the bottom... that's ok, and is as expected, that's not my problem...

BUT... And here's my problem, if lets say the first file of those twenty files is a huge 10 GB file and is going to take 50+ minutes to download, but the 2nd thru 20th files are just some dinky 2 meg JPG files and they download practically instantly... whenever I open my "ongoing download list", it will STILL only show the last 5 files downloaded, even though they are completed and yet that first file which ISN'T finished doesn't show at all until I click the "show all" button to even see it, and even then I may still have to scroll down the list of finished files in order to actually see it's progress...

Is there a command I can put into my profile / or is there a preexisting add-on/extension (or whatever) that i can download/install that will constantly sort the output of the downloads list so that the ACTUAL active downloads are the top of the list showing up as those first five lines on the short list, and if I have more than five the rest are hidden until I click the show all button (preferably sorted in the order of most percentage completed to least percentage completed), and then, as a file completes its download, it gets moved to the top of the completed/history section... IE after all the files are completely downloaded, the list will be sorted by the file COMPLETION time NOT the time I STARTED to download it. I seem to recall that a prior version of Firefox acted this way, but I don't remember if I had to modify something to get it to do that, or if it was a standard/stock feature that I somehow turned off in this build and forgot how i did it... or, if I'm actually misremembering it that way at all and it's just wishful thinking on my part!!!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any info you can help figure out for me...

My up-to-date version of Firefox ESR (94.3), running under up-to-date Windows 7 Professional (I always install the latest Windows Security updates), has recently (I am not sure whether this was after the latest update on Nov. 2, or after an update of some other software, such as IOBit's Advanced System Care) started crashing repeatedly. This almost never happened before. And when I allow the Mozilla Crash Report to send in a report, it never manages to do so, but hangs while showing the status symbol for sending a report.

I got a trouble with UserChrome-Tweaks

Any of the tweaks are good for me except of one trouble. While playing a video on Youtube I can see the bug picture. Something causes this bug on playing video. How to fix it in my Firefox 95.0.2 version? (I turned the updates off for good by now)

What am I supposed to do? o_O

May anyone give me right answer?

Refresh Firefox or trouble Mode doesn't help me to fix the error I used Firefox for computer, someday happen with short cut as I properties the result like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://xemvn.vn http://about.xemvn.vn/p/1.html http://about.xemvn.vn/p/2.html http://about.xemvn.vn/p/3.html http://about.xemvn.vn/p/4.html http://about.xemvn.vn/p/5.html can you help me result the problem, because every time open Firefox from desktop short cut it is coming out 5 page

There are times when my browser doesn't let me close tabs. Whenever that happens, clicking on the X button does nothing and I've noticed that, when I try that, another layer of buttons appears briefly just over the Firefox window resizing and closing buttons; as if a new screen layer of unknown origins is blocking my actions. Closing the window, however, works normally.

This problem happens randomly and I have no idea what's causing, but it's getting annoying. How can I fix that?

I don't have sound on this website after update:

Please help, what can I do? This site is the only reason I use Mozilla

Thank you Best regards Ivana Plavsic

I need the search box in the middle of the page. This change is very hard for older computer users. Is there a way to change this search box back to mid page?

Dzień dobry jak mogę wyczyścić historię przeglądania z pozimu wiersza poleceń (CMD) dla przegladarki Firefox? chciałbym politykę utworzyć by uruchomić zadanie dla wszystkich komputerów czy jest taka możliwość?

Hello,

Every time I use google search I get this empty white space at the bottom of the page (look at the pic). It started happening today. I tried many things to fix it but nothing worked. Can you help me?

PS: This happens only if I'm logged in to google with my google account. If I'm not then I don't have this problem.

Thanks in advance.
