Search bars are stuttering and videos audio is running twice at the same time, sometimes three times over top one another so garbled up you can't understand the audio. When I type in duckduckgo search or any web page search bar, it happened on Chewy, & Walmart, search bars also. Example: (Search: MetallicaMetallica JamesJames Hetfield ) Everytime I hit space bar it adds the same word again.

Hello,
After updating to,
150.0 (Build #2016155439), 1a6c5c6f11fca486436075d92fd82d51f706c775 GV: 150.0-20260415192539 AS: 150.0.1 OS: Android 15
I have been having issues with the address on top of my phone (Motorola Edge 50 Neo).
As you can see, as soon as I switch from Private Browsing to Normal Browsing, the address bar on the top shifts and never goes back to its original position.
It only resets back to its position when I close the App and open Firefox again but the issue persists whenever I try to switch from Private browsing to Normal browsing (vice-versa).

Everything is gone from the browser today. There is no content in the menu at the top right, except for keyboard shortcuts. When I type in the search bar, nothing happens, and clicking the + to open a new tab does nothing either. My account is still showing at the top, I am signed in and the profile looks fine. I can't "refresh" the browser from the menu, as that is not an option.
UPDATE: FIXED - Today, April 13 - everything is back - I guess Firefox fixed itself.

I have a problem with 'efficiency mode' in Windows 11. Windows 11 forcefully puts many of Firefox's tasks into efficiency mode marked by green leaves within task manager in processes tab. It doesn't seem to do this to anything else except Steam Client WebHelper. My Laptop is always in max performance mode in all possible settings as it is always plugged in (this does not influence efficiency mode). It slows down performance making things take longer to load and might even break them. If you try to enable efficiency mode on a task it even warns you of this: 'Efficiency mode will lower process priority and improve power efficiency but may cause instability for certain processes. Do you want to continue?' There is no way to permanently disable it. Currently out of 19 tasks 8 are in efficiency after I woke up my laptop from sleep (I have 5 tabs open). Only way to stop it is to manually disable each one by one (right click on each task and disable efficiency mode). But Windows 11 will turn them back on automatically usually within a few seconds (it seems to depend on opening new tabs, reloading them or waking up the PC from sleep mode). From looking it up online there seems to be a way to disable it in browser on Edge and Chrome but that might be something else (I do not use the so I'm not sure). There was a solution for Chrome but it doesn't work on Firefox.
Is there any way this can be disabled permanently through Firefox or Windows 11?

I've just now noticed that whenever I open the website hxxps://www.hex-rays.com it will hang without finishing loading for a couple of seconds, then the entire browser will freeze. I've already tried on a new profile, verified that no addons or plugins are installed there, and no DLLs hooked into the process. This happens on my physical PC and in an (almost unused) VM, with an ancient version 134.0 and the latest 149.0.
Can anyone else replicate this? Should I create a bug report?

Hi, I use a website called Slickdeals which has a lot of thumbnail photos showing the product on the homepage.
Firefox seems to have a problem with it where Chrome does not.
Scrolling fast throws it off...the screen turns white and I have to wait for the images to load. Also, the scrolling tends to get choppy while using my touchpad scroll.
I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, disabling smooth scrolling, and clearing cache/history.
Sometimes the cursor lags about a second from the arrow to the hand pointer on links to click.
I have fast FIOS internet and a laptop with 16 GB RAM.
Thanks!

In 2024-25 Microsoft Edge gained the ability to limit the usage of physical RAM that the processes uses. Once that limit is reached tabs are put to sleep or are unloaded. So a user of Microsoft Edge could restrict the memory usage to say 1GB or 2GB or 3GB and so on till the maximum available physical RAM.
Does Firefox have such an ability? Is there some flag or settings in about:config that can be enabled for a similar feature to be used? Does Firefox have ability to put tabs to sleep once SWAP is started to be used? Is there some flag or settings in about:config that can be enabled for a similar feature to be used?
If none of one of the above is not available with Firefox then will Firefox add this feature as part of the browser in the future?

Recently, my Samsung A23 5G started freezing when closing tabs. I only started having this issue since Firefox updated to a new version with a new UI. I am currently on 147.0.3 on both devices. I load one tab, close it, load another, and then it usually freezes on the next close. Clearing the cache often allows me to go a couple more tabs without freezing, while simply closing Firefox still usually has the limit of two tabs before freezing. I usually just press "close app" when the "Firefox isn't responding" system box comes up. I've restarted my Samsung phone but the issue persists. My new Moto G Stylus 2025 doesn't freeze, but Firefox still feels noticably slower, especially when closing tabs.
I've uploaded three screenshots. The first one shows how it freezes while I close a tab, while the second shows how Android's "not responding" message comes up. The third one shows the current version on both of my phones.

I have a two monitor setup. Since I installed the new AMD driver (26.1.1), sometimes when I play a game on my main monitor, and watch stream on Twitch in Firefox on my second monitor, it can cause the PC to freeze completely. I hear the sound, but the image is stuck.
I tried to disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox, and it seemed like a good solution. But because of that (which is its function), sites became laggy.
Is this a Firefox, or an AMD issue? Or Windows (I'm on Windows 11 25H2)? I will try to install an older AMD driver, but honestly streams had became laggy before the driver update for me.

Hi, I'm on Firefox 147.0.3 and windows 11 business 25H2 (26200.7623), with two displays. For the past few weeks: - firefox stays on top - alt-tab to other window on that screen doesn't work, other app is not displayed over firefox - clicking on other app icon in task bar doesn't bring it to foreground/top - even other firefox window (like new private window) is opened in background - the only way around is to minimize firefox - without firefox opened, everything works normally It is really disturbing my flow / ways of interacting with apps / habit of using keyboard to move between apps.
Is it a bug, or is it a matter of some settings? I've seen similar quesiton from 9 years ago https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1140245 but there is no setting of the same name now?

Since a while, I think it is since I created an extra testprofile with "firefox-esr -P", but I've set my main profile as default again
When opening a link in another program than firefox I get always: a popup "Close Firefox" "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile."
I do have both firefox and firefox esr, I usually use regular firefox the second came with the debian 13 repository.
I keep the esr to test display issues for reproducibility on my personal desktop, because I manage debian 13 kiosk-style desktops with firefox-esr.
(I noticed also that the regular firefox profiles can not be opened in firefox esr, so I use an extra profile for esr)

Since installing 'pcscd' to support the Belgian eID, FF takes up to 5 minutes to start. This used to work flawless.

I've been using Fire Fox for decades, but lately it is so slow, I thought there was something wrong with my Windows 7 ultimate. I've done full Windows reboot, to no avail. Then I see the internet t hat FireFox is starting to implement AI. I thought that may be the issue, but after looking into it, looks like that isn't an option with my old Win 7 OS. So if that isn't the problem, how can I find out what is bogging Fire Fox down? I keep a watch on my CPU usage, and the usage is going nearly to 100%, when it used to barely go over 10%. When I check the actual CPU usage, it shows as many as 15 or more items tied to Fire Fox.
Is this all a result of continued use of Win 7? I'm planning to move to Linux, but that will take me some serious time and effort. Gerald

I am using Firefox on my MacOS Tahoe. There is a persistent annoying issue where whenever I close (physically fold) my laptop screen and reopen it, Firefox will be frozen. It will be frozen in the sense that I am unable to interact with any tabs or anything until I manually quit Firefox and reopen it (which automatically reopens all my tabs), making it usable again. This doesn't happen every time I close and reopen my Mac, but it definitely happens the majority of the time and makes the browser hard to use.
I've attached a screenshot of what a new window looks like when Firefox is frozen. It looks just like a Firefox window when unfocused.
Notes:
Things I've tried that haven't fixed it:
Let me know if there's any more information I can provide or fixes I can try. Also let me know if I should go ahead and file a Firefox bug report for this. Thank you.
