Is there a foolproof way to ensure that cookies from critical websites are never deleted? Designating a website as allowed only seems to work by laboriously removing other sites under "Manage Data". Other cookie clearing methods, including via Firefox History, do not allow for exceptions.

when using a Fido2 security key Firefox browser requests a "security pin" to continue logging on to other website. I don't recall setting a pin. How to change or delete the pin issue?

Semaphore.social is a mastodon/fediverse web client. I've been using it without issue up to now and it has not updated recently.

After a few hours running the CPU usage of Firefox becomes very high (25-50%) and the about:performance shows that it is due to this tab, which shows at values from 110 to 160% or thereabouts.

I haven't noticed this before updating to Firefox 134.0 so I suspect it may be a Firefox regression.

However I cannot work out what the cause is, how to fix it, or if I should file a bug on it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

I am using the most current version of Firefox with Windows 10. At this web site: https://tenthousandpots.com/ , I am unable to browse the majority of the site i.e., no products appear when selected. I also tried DuckDuckGo and had the same issue. However, when I downloaded and accessed the site via Google Chrome, the site worked as it should. I reached out to the TenThousandPots site and advised them of this and they said they've had no similar reports. Can anyone advise?

For about a year I have, several times, tried to use a link or a pop up that doesn't work in Firefox but can be accomplished in Safari. Today, I used a credit card to pay for something on the UFT.org website. It worked. I needed to make another purchase on the same website and page but I got a message that there was an error with my credit card info. I tried again. I tried another credit card. I signed out and back in and repeated everything and still got the same message. I copied the url, went to Safari, pasted the url, entered my info and was successful in making the payment. I am using Firefox 133.0.3. What might be happening to cause these problems?

outrageous, i moved from windows to debian for the purpose of exceling my ram capacity on this low spec netbook with 4GB 3.7GB usable with emmc chip and a celeron n4000 cpu turns out ff eats just like in windows.

I am not an expert just savy, remember the time when upgrading from 32MB to 64MB was a big leap? well where the hell did 4GB of ram became obsolete? so there's no windows conspiracy just exponential ram usage?

Is there a different version of FF i could use for this 4GB machine? non-upgradable I could always try vivaldi or look else where but i trust FF for base security. I am using ublock origin on the machine too and 1 custom theme but i doubt that fixes the root cause. Is all the internet in the 2020s this ram voracious beast?

upon loading a empty tab FF uses 500MB for itself forget about the 64MB system ram from the 90s is FF 2025 really so complex or is this a conspiracy? then i load startpage.com and it uses 200MB!! of ram just on that search form man.

Hi: Recently Firefox, latest release now, won't show the Taskbar when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen. I have no addons or themes installed, ie, plain vanilla Firefox. If I start Firefox in troubleshoot mode it works properly. Any help please? Thanks Donald

I clicked on a link in an email and FF began opening it. It then stopped and gave a message that the site was causing FF to run slow. That was an understatement, as FF never continued and didn't fully open the site. I copied the URL to Chrome and it had no problem quickly opening the site. What do I need to fix in FF to make it happy again? This is the link if you want to try it. https://www.mypoints.com/jumppage?trkid=p16498665&h=1645af8f93c2559daa84038a922f4a04&merchant=10659&page=110&finalUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbestbuy.7tiv.net%2Fc%2F49764%2F687081%2F10014%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Ftop-deals&brand=BestBuy&deo=16498665,5,0,0,0,0,0&utm_source=BONUSMAIL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1196390

I'm trying to run Firefox in a vm and expose it for remote connections to access from puppeteer.

"firefox --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --remote-debugging-host=0.0.0.0 --remote-allow-hosts=x.x.x.x " - This is the command I'm using to launch the browser but the Firefox is listening on 127.0.0.1 only. And accepts only calls from the local machine. Despite many efforts I'm not able to make Firefox listens to my public ip or 0.0.0.0. This is the output I'm getting while launching

"*** You are running in headless mode. [GFX1-]: glxtest: Unable to open a connection to the X server WebDriver BiDi listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9222 [GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt"

With chrome I'm able to achieve the above use case. Chrome listens on 0.0.0.0 when adding the --remote-debugging-address "google-chrome --no-sandbox --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0".

I have limited control over the vm so I can't use ssh tunnel as well. Are there any solutions available to make Firefox listens to the public IP like chrome?

Whenever I restart Firefox, it uses about 30% of my RAM, however this increases over time and after a week it can be over 60%. No new extensions, tabs, windows opened, nothing changed from usage of day 1 to day 7. I have attempted everything in the support post for Firefox taking up too much RAM, and nothing has led to longterm solutions. This issue originally started about 2 months ago so it hasn't been consistent, but I haven't changed anything either in my browsing habits or the hardware of my computer to causes this change. Hardware acceleration is off, and using the same extensions (and more) on other browsers doesn't result in the same problem on those browsers. The problem is worst by far when I'm using YouTube.

Why is my browser stating that it is managed by my organisation.

I have never used it fr work and it is my personal laptop. Please kindly provide steps to remove this

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with high CPU usage by Firefox when using Mozilla VPN - VPN ON.. Problem occurs when starting in Safe Mode, and still occurs after performing Refresh. Problem can also occur just by changing to a new tab. Problem does not occur if Mozilla VPN is turned OFF. Problem does not occur with Microsoft Edge. Mozilla VPN Support said it is a Firefox issue, and recommended contacting Firefox if safe start or refresh did not help.

Below is a link to a startup session. https://share.firefox.dev/3DEft5k

Hoping that someone can help me solve this issue. Thanks!
