I get random crashes while streaming video (for example youtube). I am using a laptop with 2 GPUs (integrated AMD and dedicated Nvidia) and a secondary monitor. If the Firefox windows is on the laptop display I never get crashes but on the secondary display I get around 1-2/hour. Also, this only happens with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox settings, if I deactivate it then the issue is gone. I think it runs on the AMD integrated graphics, based on what I see in task manager. I also have uBlock origin, haven't tried deactivating it yet. The crashses consist in a black screen from which I can only recorver by doing a hard reset.

Any suggestions on what to try?

I followed your very helpful article and my bookmarks reappeared, but the error message is now showing up every couple of days.

Update: Several days later, this is still happening. I wish someone would please help.

I started recently using Directv, I created an account with success. Now I can't get into my account. I get error that "something went wrong". I can get on account using Edge. Please advise. thanks

I thought it was an issue with my pc, but chrome does not have this issue and neither do other applications. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies as well as ensuring mozilla was using my computer performance settings as opposed to hardware acceleration. The attached images are a very small example of the issue. Typically, after clicking on the screen or pressing a button the text is corrected but often replaced with new text being "corrupted". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

~4/14/25 with very 137.0.1 & .2 Duolingo is unable to complete loading after sign-in. DUO owl just keeps marching - states Loading. Continues same for hour w/ o any progress. Clearing cache, reloading page or browser with same result. Sign-In then Owl marching saying loading. Works fine with Chrome. Worked fine w FF very prior to 137.0.1 64bit. Reported to Duolingo.

I use Yahoo as my homepage and access it through Mozilla. Normally it loads in mere seconds. Last night and today it is taking extremely long to load and in some cases it has timed out. When it does load, all the pictures and other features are not included and either don't load or load much later.

I tried to load Yahoo from MIcrosoft Edge and it loaded perfectly. I am assuming there is an issue with Mozilla?

Thanks for looking into this matter and letting me know.

Even though CPU and GPU utilization is very low during 8K60fps Youtube playback in the Firefox browser on my base M4 Mac mini, the struggles heavily to play this, drops tons of frames, and the video almost stops playing.

8K 30 fps is not problem, and since utilization is pretty low, that doesn't explain the poor performance.

So please optimize 8K60fps Youtube playback on all platforms in the safari browser, but especially on Apple SIlicon Macs.

Firefox uses too much memory, with 1 tab 1GB+, and with 4 tabs all 3GB+, this is not normal, the forum topic did not help, reinstalled and did not help, there are no more than 6 extensions, and they consume only 160mb.

I am trying to run Firefox on a MacBook Air from 2015 (MacOS Monterey 12.7.6) and it has not worked since I updated Firefox a few days ago. I have tried deleting it and downloading it again - same problem. Can not pull up any website. Eventually I get a dialog box "Firefox Crash Reporter".

When printing a web page as a pdf file and trying to import the data with Power Query, it is not able to recognize all of the data. It picks up the headers and some of the body but ignores other parts.
