I have around 20 tabs in my firefox browser about tarding they all keep refreshing at the background when i am using firefox,its causing my Laptop battery drainage

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.youtube.com to https://accounts.google.com.

Suspicious data:

Error: Timeout! DOS attack attempt?,(URL) https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=youtube&uilel=3&passive=true&continue=https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_handle_signin=true&app=desktop&hl=en&next=%2Fsignin_passive&feature=passive&hl=en

after my laptop crashed (again did so over 100 times) but this time all history is gone, could not restore last session/s - can't log into my accounts (any) - can't set it to an earlier date (e.g. yesterday) to eliminate whatever the problem is (am not an IT expert, so I don't know how - just know that it is possible) - I have tried for 4 hours - no avail - I really need the status of 4-5 hours ago so I don't lose so much

After being able to view Netflix content on Firefox for, well, a long time, today I encountered audio with no video. Only a black screen. I contacted Netflix and they're telling me that Firefox needs updating - we tested Safari and it was able to play the entire content, video and audio. I checked Firefox and the info states the browser is up to date. I should add I'm on a Macbook Pro. The quality on Safari was not as good as Firefox has been so I would prefer not to have to use a second browser for one task. Can anyone provide some information on this situation?

When I wake up Firefox from sleep overnight, it is unresponsive until I force quit. I am on v147.0.4 on my M4 Mac Mini. It doesn't happen in shorter sleep periods. I can click something in it and then when I switch to another app, it responds. But the browser on normal interactions won't respond at all.

I manually clear all youtube cookies. I have these youtube exceptions. After going to youtube, then checking "Manage Cookies and Site Data" I still see Firefox saved a youtube cookie.

Thank you

When Firefox updated I only created a default profile and could not or did not import bookmarks. They seem lost now. I was offered to import from other browsers like Edge but did not see any way to import from my previous Firefox version. I am unable to find any automatic backups in bookmarkbackups folder.

Scroll bar issue on some websites When accessing certain websites, the scroll bar disappears (for me, it's on the right side of the screen), and it's no longer possible to view the page content, even using the keyboard's scroll keys.

DETAILS Only affects certain websites Firefox is up to date No blocking extensions are installed Access is possible with another browser Thank you for your feedback, Sincerely, F. Vernoux

barre de défilement pour certains sites Lors de l'accès à certains sites la barre de défilement disparaît (pour moi à droite sur l'écran) et il n'est plus possible de consulter le contenu de la page même avec l'utilisation des touches de défilement du clavier; PRECISIONS Concerne seulement certains sites Firefox version à jour Pas d'extensions bloquantes Accès possible avec un autre navigateur Merci de votre retour, Cordialement, F.

After the most recent upgrades (both MacOS to 26.4 beta and Firefox 147.0.4), Firefox is giving me this message: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. Any suggestions?

Almost every time I open up Firefox it has a little pop-up under the tool bar asking "Open Firefox every time you restart your computer?", and every time I select "Not now", which I guess is intended as only a temporary answer. How can I permanently say "No" and keep this from popping up constantly?

if I had 30 bookmarks, there was no problem to sort all by name, if I´ve had 40 bookmarks I must sort it 3 times but then it works. But now I have more than 50 bookmarks and I testet it every update but it dosen´t work, why ?

I have my browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in about:config set to 60 – it's been like this and working fine for several months.

It's set to this high number because I use an assistive technology which creates a fresh pop-up every time I deploy it, and Firefox treats it as a browser window closure when I close the pop-up. Consequently, I can easily rattle through well over 25 window closures in a day.

It's not necessarily that each window contains dozens of tabs and copious data, but nevertheless Firefox still treats it as a window 'within the meaning of the act'!

I just went to reopen one closed window from a couple days ago which did contain many tabs (partly why I closed it in the first place), only to find that the 'recently-closed windows' context menu is now only showing 20 windows (18 of which are the aforementioned pop-up assistive technology windows)

The really vital window that I want to reopen is not showing.

I've double checked in about: config and the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo is still set to 60 windows; nothing has been altered or reset.

I updated Firefox to 147.0.4 yesterday evening, but the problem existed before I updated Firefox, and is still in evidence since updating.

Two questions:

1) Why is the Recently Closed Windows context menu not showing the full number of windows it has been successfully doing with no problem now for months? I used to have to scroll down to access the full extent of the 60, but they were always there.

2) Why has it arbitrarily changed to 25 windows?

3) [I lied – Our chief weapons etc...] Is there a way that – given about:config still implies that the most recent 60 windows are retrievable – that I can access beyond the 25 windows limit that are currently showing as reopenable?

Thanks very much

(And yes, I already have things like OneTab and Tab Session Manager add-ons, but disabled those just before closing the important window, because I was trying to locate which add-on was draining the CPU. I assumed my 'recently-closed windows' buffer of 60 would suffice while I disabled the add-ons.)

As long as my computer doesn't go to sleep Im fine. If it does, when i open firefox, i must refresh to be able to find my bookmarks and passwords. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Micha

While transferring data from the old profile manager system to the new one, I accidentally created one more profile than I needed. I have tried to delete the extra profile on multiple occasions, it won't go away. I have attempted to delete it through the profile management ui, and I went into the files and delete the associated data. On both occasions, the profile remained in the UI. I am unable to edit anything about the profile either. Is there anything I can do to resolve this annoyance?
