Since the task limit option seems to have been obliterated? I believe the many more "programs" and the events they create for windows to handle is causing all sorts of virtual memory problems. Changing win10 advanced system settings from performance for programs to background services seems to have restored Firefox performance in my case, see: 10 advanced system settings win10 advanced system settings performance programs vs background services Is there an about:config option that would allow one to achieve the same "programs" limiting option as before? This laptop has 16 gig of memory and I used to successfully have even better Firefox performance with windows virtual memory turned off, but eventually I would get crashes. I can understand why Firefox was modified in a way to better localize the source of crashes, but in my case it has degraded performance. Thanks Mozilla for a great product I have valued for years!!!!

After updating firefox to 112 it now starts with ugly white ui dummy before actually loading proper UI. Screenshot attached. It was not happening on firefox 111.0.1. It happens every time I launch firefox 112. Of course nothing in changelog is said about changing performance or UI so I have no idea what is causing this.

The built-in screenshot feature in Firefox is great in many ways, but for some reason when selecting "Copy" (Copy screenshot to clipboard) instead of "Download", and then pasted into the Apple Mail app the receiver will get a file attachement named "PasteGraphic-1.TIFF".

It would be a lot more practical to have it saved in the PNG format which makes the file smaller and more compatible. I haven't been able to find any option for this though, but is it perhaps hidden somewhere like in "about:config", or is this something the developers can look into?

Hi I use Firefox on 2 mac and 1 IoS device. The passwords or saved logins don't seem to sync across devices, even though they are all logged in via my account. Kindly advise.

Hi,

I'm trying to configure equipment on my local network. Some of the equipment does NOT support https. Firefox continuously changes the address http://192.168.xxx.xxx to https://192.168.xxx.xxx, and the connection fails!

I have tried the various options in HTTP Only Mode, including entering Exceptions. I have also temporarily changed network.trr.mode from 5 to 1 (and 0), but nothing is working!

What can I do?

Thanking you Pedro

I used to use Firefox about 19 years or more The last two years..... FireFox was enable the auto-translate of Youtube videos in Arabic language automatically ........ Then it stopped working since four months

I thought that the "Improve Youtube extension" was the reason. I contacted the developer and said:

Its misunderstanding of the feature :( afaik as is today Improve Youtube will use the subtitle language to switch on CC if its provided in this language by video author, it doesnt switch auto-translate. Ill look into making it enable auto-translate if requested CC is missing.

Today I noticed that all videos have Arabic CC ..... Mmm, the feature has returned to work again! without any interference from me In order... to make sure the reason...... I disable all my FireFox extensions, and it is surprising that the automatic translation is still working and I recorded a video to see for yourself how to work directly once you enter the video

In your opinion, what is the explanation for that?

I know that YouTube has options for displaying / enable auto-translate always ... but it is only for the English language .... I am talking about the translation of the Arabic language in all videos Sooooo A feature from YouTube itself or what? And if it was, why did it stop in the past four months, and now it has returned to work?

When I go to Google.com, the cursor is in the Firefox browser's address field. And I have to click in the Google search field to start my search - if I remember to do so. Why can't the cursor just be in the Google search field?

I could search in the address field, but I'd have to highlight/delete the address. So it's easier to just click in the Google search field. But I rather just have the cursor be in the search field automatically. Is there a way to get that done? Or is that asking too much?

While trying to upload files larger than 4MB on my website, I get an error on the apache server: "[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 1699] (70008)Partial results are valid but processing is incomplete: [client 10.0.3.91:44950] AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (reading input brigade)".

It's an EC2 server behind a load balancer on AWS using Apache/2.4.56 and PHP-FPM 8.0.28.

I checked the access logs User Agent and it only happens with the Mozilla Firefox browser, which is a small fraction of our visitors, thankfully. Even testing with Postman works.

Could you please help me investigate and fix this?

I've been searching for a way to hide the tab bar and reclaim that space. Some sources on the web set to change some settings in about:config and edit userChrome.css, but this did not work. This question links to an add-on to do it, but the link is broken:

Im experiencing the same issue issue as in this Archived Question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1349572

When I try to print specifically in black and white, Firefox starts the printing and send the pages to the printer for printing. But this process does not get beyond 2 pages. After 30-60 seconds of loading, the 2 pages print and firefox just shows a generic error "That an error has occurred".

My testing: - Remove and re-add printer -> Same issue - Try in Acrobat -> Same issue - Try in Chrome -> No issue - Try with other Printer -> Works when not B/W, same issue with B/W - Try with same printer not B/W -> Works - Reset printer settings manually -> Same issue - Tried to delete Firefox Caches/Cookies etc. -> Same issue - Reset Firefox Print settings -> Same issue - Firefox already up to date - Printed to Microsoft Print to PDF, then Printed that -> Works - Opened the file in Word: > Noticed that there are black pages when looking at the print preview > Noticed in Adobe Acrobat, that some pages are wider and some slimmer. > After more testing: The printer prints the first page and the 1st page after a wider page, then stops. > So if the 1st Page is a wider page -> Prints 2 pages > If the 1st page is slimmer -> Only prints the first page. (Filetype is already PDF/A)

Currently the workaround is to set Acrobat as default option when opening Acrobat and this should solve the issue. But this seems like some form of bug when Firefox has different PDF Formats/Page width/? (not sure what is is either).

Id like to avoid downloading an extension, so do any of you know of a better solution?

Issue #1) If computer is left idle for more than 15 min. and the browser is left open with some tabs when resuming to use the browser, it does not load pages any more and eventually times out. This forces to have to restart the browser each time after some idle time.

Issue #2) images do not load or only first couple of images load and then rest of the page images do not load. This is not related to security setting and so on since I have done all the obvious trouble-shooting steps already.

These are very frustrating issues and I am very close to switching off of Firefox.

Suddenly Firefox causes my cursor to disappear and flicker at times when inside the window. When it is in the browser toolbar like addressbar and etc. the cursor simply flickers but when in the main browser window it disappears

I checked a various things such as reinstalling, making sure that caret mode is off, safe mode, but it still occurs.

Firefox is my main browser and it is so hard to use it if I can't see my cursor.

I don't know how to fix this issue. Thank you for your help.

Hello Community,

I have always found the "Save Image As..." menu command when right-clicking with the mouse in order to save an image. Recently the website where I download these images from has implemented an automatic zoom feature that changed this standard menu (now appearing with commands such as "Save Page As...", "Save Page to Pocket", "Select All", etc...). I cannot access any command that directly relates to the underlying image and so I am not able to save it. The website developers assured me that with their own browser (not Firefox, I presume) the "Save Image As..." option is still available, suggesting me to install a different one. I believe the reason of this change in behaviour is because the mouse does not find a direct link to the image any more (as if there was a layer in between running a script to enlarge the image).

My question: is there any other way to access the menu option I need? Why should other browsers be able to "see through" the image and have the standard menu?

Thank you for any suggestion.

You keep saying you fixed this problem and obviously you didn't. Firefox will not let me sign into starbucks.com. Keeps saying sign-in unsuccessful. Site works perfectly with safari.

When I try to upload a file through Google chat, Firefox crashes on the image preview of a file that is selected. When I restart Firefox, it uploads fine on the first attempt. If I continue to upload images, Firefox crashes again. This has been happening over the past few weeks. I'm using a mac desktop and Firefox version 113.0.1 - is there a way to disable the image preview when uploading files? Thanks in advance.

All of my other bookmarks are accessible as normal. Previously my links to www.legislation.gov.uk worked normally but two days ago the link (and sublinks to specific legislation, which give different line and column numbers) has received the following error message

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </link>. Location: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ Line Number 32, Column 128:

Videos on Firefox like YouTube videos and others look washed out like they've been put through a filter. When I play the page through safe mode it solves the problem. However disabling all my plugins, themes and extensions makes no difference at all! What other options do i have. I have deleted the app from my pc and reloaded twice and that hasn't changed anything.

The problem is that I am severely confused. It pertains to at least Firefox profiles, and sync.

A little background: I have been using Firefox, happily, over countless updates, on a single computer, for maybe 2 decades, logging in to "shopping" websites (travel-tickets, government websites, blah-blah, so password memory is very important). Now on 113.0, on a Mac, Catalina 10.15.7

Recently, I've a need to travel, using a laptop. Linux, Mint, Ubuntu, various. Should maybe think about "Sync". Just care about logins/passwords. So signed on to Mozilla "Sync" (password safe on a bit of paper). What could go wrong? Not yet tried to sync to anything else...

Wrong. Firefox wanted to update to 113.0.1. Why not? Go ahead. I've 2 previous versions in /Applications. What could go wrong? On 113.0.1, Firefox warned me (in capital letters IIRC) that my bookmarks, passwords and history might be corrupted unless I created a new profile.

Perhaps because I panicked, I now have 7 profiles. Obfuscating slightly: blahblah1.default-esr-1 blahblah2.default-esr-4 orig.default blahblah3.default-esr-3 blahblah4.default-esr blahblah5.default-esr-2 and blahblah6.default-release

I have parked the 113.0.1 update in a holding directory, and continue to use 113.0. I've had to change some passwords, but the new ones are written safely (AFAIK) on bits of paper, or memory sticks.

How to sort this out? My super-duper backups have been failing for lack of space.

I appreciate (see above) that "Sync" is not a backup strategy. I THINK I know what it is intended. However the mere word "Sync" does not really cut it as a dependable specification. I've not (AFAICR) tried to sync this computer's firefox profile to any other. But I was in an extreme panic.

I depend heavily on Thunderbird. I'm hopeful that any false steps I take won't extinguish any remaining ability I have to communicate with the outside world. If this wail appears on your support website, that would be reassuring.

Please help!

i posted this a few days ago. Have had no reply

I put in the membership number and password as normal, and click log in and then it goes straight to apage which says

This isn't normal. There is nowhere to click to enable cookies. I can log in using Microsoft Edge. Something has gone wrong in the last few days. I have used this site with Firefox for years without a problem.
