Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

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?

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?

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'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?
