Firefox 131.0.3 (64 bit) Ubuntu Linux CPU % drop dramatically when opening Firefox Task Manger.

While listening to an audio steaming service in tab1 that utilises ~ 58% CPU, opened up Firefox Task Manager in tab2. CPU load drops dramatically to ~ 8% without doing anything to existing processes and all the while audio is still steaming while in tab2. When switching back to tab1 CPU load increases again to ~ 58%. CPU load measured with Linux HTOP app.

Questions: 1. What is the reason for this? Can it have something to do with display card that is maybe used intensively in tab1 and not in tab2? 2. If the above in 1) is true then surely Firefox Task Manager does not measure active CPU loads correctly? 3. Is there any learnings from this to improve overall Firefox performance as standard?

Legacy Hardware: Intel dual core 2.8 Ghz CPU with 4GB Ram. OS: Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS 64 bit Display card: Nvidia 9500GT Connectivity: WIFI

Hi,

I am using a combination of the Firefox Desktop app on Windows 11 and the Firefox Android app on Android 15 (fully up to date) on a Google Pixel 8a.

Tabs on the phone app are not automatically syncing with the Desktop app. If tabs are open on the app, they are not reflected in the Firefox View tab or within my Desktop Browser History. If I press the Share option within the app, and choose my Desktop device, there is no change on the Desktop app. The only way I have made this work is to click on the Desktop - Account options and click Synchronise Now and then the expected behaviour occurs. I have signed out and logged back in using my Mozilla account and the same issue is occuring.

Is there a way to set it up so that I do not have to manually sync to get shared tabs across 2 devices?

Thanks.

I tried looking for the answer but I keep finding questions about whether to open links in new tabs or new windows, and questions regarding whether to open a specific home page or blank page in a new window.

I would like Firefox not to open any window at all when I open it. I might go to Recent websites, or open my History to find a page I've visited last week. Of course if I press cmd-T or cmd-N, that's when I want a new window to open.

When I activate Firefox from another application and I have no windows open, I wouldn't like any new windows to open either.

Is this an option? I'm on Mac OS, Firefox 131.0.3.

How can I remove Firefox from my Mac? I can't send it to the Trash. The software continually asks to be updated but this won't work. It reports a failure. So I tried to move it to the trash but that won't work. It appears to be locked to the operating system somehow.

Could you please advise a solution?

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to seek assistance with a compatibility issue I'm experiencing while attempting to run Python scripts that interact with Firefox via Geckodriver.

Here are the details of my setup:

Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit) Firefox Version: 131.0.3 (64-bit) Geckodriver Version: geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64 When I attempt to initialize Geckodriver in my Python script, it fails to launch Firefox, giving the following error message:

"Machine Type Mismatch: The image file Z:\My Drive\python\python Assets\geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64\geckodriver.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."

I downloaded the latest version of Geckodriver (v0.35.0) for Windows (aarch64) assuming compatibility with my setup. However, it seems there might be a mismatch between the architecture of my machine and the Geckodriver executable. I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue or recommendations on an appropriate Geckodriver version that would be compatible with my 64-bit Windows 11 system.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Before the latest update, when we needed to bookmark a website, we were able to simply click on the star icon on the right of the URL field and choose location and tags for the new bookmark. Now instead there is no even an option to choose the tags. But instead if we want to add tags, we have through the "bookmark manager" which is much more convoluted as an option and time consuming. Is this change going to be permanent?

Okay, so imagine this: - You want to go do something on a website, say Bacefook (as a demonstration). So you go search up "Bacefook", and enter. - You use the Google search engine, as it does the job. However, you notice it has been taking a few seconds longer than anticipated. - Your internet times out and returns an unknown host error. - You refresh, and suddenly the website perfectly loads.

Sometimes it even takes more than one refresh to get it to load normally! And this is not limited to the google search engine. It happens on all sorts of websites. There is near ZERO pattern to when it happens to not, and if I recall, it happens on other Wi-Fi networks as well, so this is a client-side issue.

And lastly, I use Firefox 131.0.3, the latest version of Firefox.

Clearing browser cache and/or flushing the DNS does nothing.

Hello, When i get during the login process the "Authorize this sign-in Check your email for the authorization code sent to ⁨...." sign, it always result that afterward the account button shows "Account disconnected" sign, the browser not being able to sync my data.

I had that problem through every version of Firefox (Nightly, Beta, ...) on Debian, using the APT-Repo of Mozilla.

If i try to reconnect my account it results in a new request of "Authorize this sign-in Check your email for the authorization code sent to ⁨....".

Also this request feels like a joke to me, if i am asked for my TOTP-Code oder my YubiKey after the "Authorize this sign-in"-request.

I have been through all the available help pages on how to change language from English(US) to English(GB). I've gone into the settings, added it as a language,moved it to the top of the list so it shows as the default language. I even tested by adding Spanish, then moved that to the top and sure enough everything turned to Spanish.

However, when set to English(GB), in ChatGPT text box, if I right click and go down to languages, I am only presented with English(US) (which is ticked as default). Interestingly now, doing the same now offers me English(US) and Spanish(ES) but NO English(GB).

Why, when I am clearly doing this correctly, is it not showing the option for English(GB)? Please advise as I don't want to go back to Chrome, but this is really irritating, especially in ChatGPT where it is constantly marking my spelling as incorrect.
