Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

been having issues with files lately. i can dl a file and open the folder. if i try to open the file from the browser or the folder directly, the browser window will freeze. additional browser windows are still functional. how do i fix this? no files will open even in safe mode.

I've recently swapped to Firefox from Chrome and I've noticed a huge hindrance.

I use a chatroom website and when I swap to the tab and begin to type, the first letter is randomly eaten/won't be entered into the text field.

For instance I was typing the word "What" and the text field only displayed "hat". Or when typing "Either" only "ither" appeared.

I thought this may have been related to a hardware acceleration issue but both settings did not work. So I started to look at Hotkeys but none of them should be interfering.

Some others have stated they have this issue too and I've been unable to find any solution. Any help?

help me to use the browser!

I just simply need it to maximize.

I'm not too tech savvy. The only thing I tried was to reinstall Firefox which did not help.

For some reason my Firefox has started to become much slower when I view / watch anything in full screen, it doesn't matter from where. A Twitch stream in full screen? The Video Player becomes slow, even using the escape key to leave fullscreen takes a bit. Youtube video in fullscreen? Same thing happens. No matter what site is being used, if I go full screen on any video player, everything becomes suuuper laggy. I've tested other browsers and they don't seem to have that issue so it's not a hardware or connection issue.
