Your current build of firefox runs substantially worse for me than previous versions. I use Firefox because it is non-chromium, which typically offers more user freedom and control, but these new performance settings which cannot be edited individually, but are controlled automatically, are overstepping. Please advise how I can change the settings on a deeper level than simply switching off hardware acceleration. I'd like to limit multiprocessing primarily, but I would also like to have access to other performance settings. Further, I would like to have more control over how Firefox can access my devices. Please advise how I can access and edit the full list of permissions available to Firefox. I ask for this in the interest of transparency and personal data protection.

I added Firefox to my new laptop and needed to reset my password to login. I recognize a few of my old bookmarks at the top but all of my passwords and login information is gone and none of my old devices are showing up. I have never encountered this issue before, please help.

Can you just please stop to force user to restart when there's an update? its annoying really, i've been using firefox for years, and this thing makes me want to leave firefox. At least make this message optional, let user continue browser at will and apply the update when the user finished using firefox. ps. my setting: Automatically install update ON -> When Firefox is not running (ticked/ON).

The subject line of replies to email messages are preceded with Aw: instead of Re:. Aw: appears to be the German language version of Re:, but my language is set to English as best as I can determine. Forwarded email are preceded with Fw: as normal. My other email (Yahoo mail) does not have this problem. I do not see anything other than the Subject line Aw: that looks like it is in another language. If I use a different browser (I usually use Firefox,) the same problem occurs so I do not think it is a browser setting. It only happens in my mail.com account so I do not think it is a global Windows setting. This problem started several months ago -- I have been using mail.com for many years without this problem so it appears to be caused by a mail.com update. Thanks.

FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.

google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

I’m working on my website Srishti Gupta , and I noticed that some design elements appear differently in Firefox compared with other browsers. What Firefox Developer Tools should I use to identify CSS or responsive-design compatibility problems?

Facebook doesn't recognize me from visit to visit so I can't update my password, which possibly was included in a data breach. I've tried allowing cookies from Facebook. Didn't work. Thoughts?

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but I could not find it. After a recent update Firefox (Windows 11) started each website file download (mostly pdfs) at the Downloads folder. Previously, it would start at the most recent folder to which I downloaded a file. Since nearly all of my downloads are in a few neighboring folders way down the folder tree, I now have a ton of navigating to do for every single download. This is not sustainable. I have done a lot of Googling and investigated several suggested changes to about:config. I changed browser.download.folderList from 1 to 2. I made sure that browser.download.useDownloadDir is false. No effect. Any other suggestions? I am considering abandoning Firefox altogether. It has issues with some parts of the Medicare website. And an earlier update seemingly eliminated my ability to set a particular web page (Google) for new tabs, due to which I often wait a while for the page to appear, then realize I must click on Home. I like Firefox , but too many issues are accumulating and I can't seem to find solutions. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I have a shortcut which comes up with a blank icon. I've tried Google help to use a custom picture, but nothing worked. The complication is that my shortcut does not go to Xerox, it goes to their pension provider who has a different name. The shortcut works fine but it would be nice if I didn't have a blank icon.

My VPN used to work perfectly with my South African sites. Since I've downloaded the new Beta version of Firefox, things have become unstable, and the South African sites - mainly my dictionaries (which I use daily because I'm a translator) - don't work any more.

South Africa is one of the countries on the list, but when I open the VPN now, it says South Africa is unavailable, which had never been the case before.

Please help me sort it out. I can't take screenshots of the problem. When I go to the country list from the VPN, the dialogue box disappears.

Cześć społeczności!

Od kilku dni próbuję uzyskać dostęp do pewnej strony internetowej za pomocą przeglądarki Firefox na systemie Windows 7, ale niestety nie działa. Czy ktoś z Was korzysta z Windows 7 i ma zainstalowaną przeglądarkę Firefox?

Czy mógłbyś spróbować otworzyć tę stronę: https://konwerteryt.pl, aby sprawdzić, czy działa ona poprawnie, czy też pojawia się ten sam problem (np. „uszkodzony link" lub „nie można nawiązać połączenia z witryną")?

Będę bardzo wdzięczny za każdą informację zwrotną lub ewentualne rozwiązanie tego problemu. Z góry dziękuję za pomoc!

I am currently having a challenge browsing my offline videos downloaded on YouTube, and I noticed this since I recently updated my Mozilla browser. Formerly, even when my internet is down, I could open YouTube, and it would take me to my offline downloaded video, but now, when I am offline, it just shows Check your internet connection.
