Hi, I am writing from a fresh Nobara 42 install, using Gnome 48 and the default Wayland session. Firefox version is 144.0.2. I'm not sure this is the proper channel to report a bug, I expected a more standard form. Please redirect me if you know of a better place.

Essentially : click+drag using the tablet doesn't work, be it on web content or on the GUI. When I click+drag to move a tab, the rab is ripped off into a new window as soon as the drag event begins. This happens with both regular & vertical tabs. Simply clicking tabs -without moving the pen enough to trigger a drag event- activates them normally. Click+drag on a bookmark or history item does not work either. When doing so on a bookmark folder, it seems to be always registered as a click, and it consistently triggers the opening/closing of the folder, regardless of the distance traveled by the pointer between the press event and the release event.

Exception : click+drag to select text works fine. However, click+drag to move that text into the address bar to look it up does not work. The text stays selected, the pointer icon doesn't change to indicate that something is being dragged.

Note : I am using the terms "press event", "drag event" and "release event" liberally here. I don't actually know how this all works, it's magic to me. But I felt like this was the most straightforward way of communicating what's happening.

I have a mouse to the side, that I use only for this. But it would be nice to be rid of this necessity. Any help is welcome! Thank you.

Hi, after latest update just now, the browsers uses up to 45gb of ram within a few minutes! Not sure what it is, I am on MACOS Sequia Version 15.6.1 (24G90) macbook pro M1

I'm running Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit) on a Mac using Sequoia 15.4.1 OS.

At the most recent Firefox update, I added VPN.

Since then, I've had a problem with Firefox hanging. Not immediately but after varying amounts of time, 20-60 minutes. I get an "Out of Application Memory" pop-up but the usage for both Firefox and other elements are well within normal range, not high. It's completely frozen and the only way out is to do a Force Quit.

There are times when doing a shut down I notice that VPN has somehow been turned Off and once I saw a message of Background Service Error attached to it.

Having to constantly re-start Firefox is a major pain. Oh-- I did turn off the background AI thing under Tabs. I hate AI and try to turn it off everywhere I find it. A resource suck and bad for the planet.

Any help appreciated.

Windows updates from Oct 14 have messed up both firefox and an extension (Ironvest). Can't access mozilla account from icon on toolbar (just a revolving blue buffering circle), nor will the extension work. Have uninstalled extension, turned off/on computer, reinstalled, no luck. Discovered the mozilla account won't work after this, so resigned in a couple times, still the same issue. Even uninstalled one of the window updates (performance, not security) and still not luck. I hate windows when they update and upset all my settings.
