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.

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?

Hello,

This is a weird issue that's been plaguing me for years. Only recently have I spotted the common factor.

On two Windows 10 computers, sometimes when I copy/paste a link in Firefox, my keyboard input language switches from Canadian Multilingual Standard to US English. On my desktop, I don't even have US English installed as an input method, yet it still switches to it. I've even made registry changes to specifically remove it, to no avail. Disabling the option to switch languages via keyboard shortcut also makes no difference.

This seems to happen completely randomly. I'll ctrl+c/ctrl+v a link and the language will change. Putting it back to CMD and ctrl+c/ctrl+v again and it won't change. The change only happens when I copy/paste a link from Firefox. Maybe one out of every 15-20 times on the large scale, but sometimes it will happen twice in a row, or not at all for a week.

Does anyone have any insight on this issue, or how I can fix it permanently? It's such a weird issue and it's infrequent enough, but every time it happens it feels like tripping in a full sprint. Very unpleasant.

Currently running 113.0.1 (64-bit), but again, this has been plaguing me for years. I first thought it was a Windows install issue, but it's happening on two different systems. Thanks in advance

I cannot connect to Facebook using Firefox, but can connect fine using other browsers like Chrome. It used to connect automatically but now requires a password and although I enter the correct password Facebook does not accept it. When I try to change the password Facebook does not seem to receive or allow any changes. I assume it is a Firefox browser problem since I can connect using other browsers on both my desktop and cell phone.

HI Firefox Team,

I recorded a webcam video from the Firefox browser and that video played in Safari browser. but the video is not supported in Safari browser which is recorded from Firefox.

For years this has been working GREAT! Then suddenly after a recent FireFox update, Pinterest broke again.

Used to Function:

• Logged into Pinterest.
• The browser stayed logged in.

Current Function:

• When I load Pinterest.com into a browser page in firefox, it looks like I'm signed in.
• When I attempt to "pin" something to pin (any of the methods available to do so--all 3 have the same result) a pop up from Pinterest appears, says "welcome back" and tells me to log in.
• At first this worked but annoyingly it asked me for every pin I wanted to do. It isn't h olding the session, apparently. Now, after a few moments of pinning recipes and other articles from my email newsletters I want to save for later, it says I've had "too many log in attempts" and am apparently blocked from Pinterest because of it for 30 minutes or longer.

I was logging in with Google. So its blocked everywhere (any browser, any device)

The game opens and appears to load sometimes with a welcome screen and then it does nothing and stays frozen or other times it tries to help the loading which does not work at all Then it sometimes appears to load and says "LOGGED IN" but the screen is blank. I have reported this repeadly to Facebook Farmville and Zygna to no avail. I did load Mozilla on another computer and managed to get the game to come up after an hour trying everything. I does not work on Chrome either. I got a message once that said it was s protocall problem that was being worked on. PLEASE HELP

For Windows version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 If using Firefox Version 113.0.1 (64-bit) in Windows 10 and in the following state:

 Firefox is open and window is maximized.
 Firefox Full Screen is toggled OFF.
 Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled ON.

Then the Windows taskbar will not display when the cursor is place at the bottom of the monitor screen. If the Windows taskbar setting "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is toggled OFF. Then the Windows taskbar will also not display. Changing the ON/OFF state of any other Windows taskbar display setting in any combination does not fix the failure.

How do I disable Ctr + End keyboard shortcut when editing text inside a text box?

Every time I use Ctr + End when editing text, page scrolls down. It gets old and is really frustrating. Is it a bug in Firefox or crappy code of webpage?

When I open the Google "Choose an account" page, my account name doesn't show up above my email address. The problem ceases only temporarily when I clear the cache and the Google cookies. Any suggestions?

Dears, our automation robotic accounts has issue with accessing web pages:

Affected sites: https://optimiz.protrans.com/ https://ecomm.one-line.com/one-ecom https://www.odfl.com/ https://data.oecd.org/ https://www.eia.gov/

Simple clear cache or recreate profile don't helps Chrome haven't issue like this.

Can you help? We have also HAR.

I tried to change the download folder for Firefox inside "settings", and Firefox showed that the change did take, even after opening and closing the program again, but trying to download a file leaves me in the old folder again, as if Firefox didn't take what it showed it took. Also, Firefox keeps crashing when I try to download to the downloads folder. Not sure why. Clearing a few items lets me download again, but then, it will crash if I dare keep going. Is there a limit to how much can be in the downloads folder aside from the C drive itself? My C drive is showing 84GB free, in the blue, not red, so what gives?

I have Yahoo Mail+ and Gmail open in tabs (as well as MyYahoo, Yahoo Financial and Google Calendar) and both email systems intermittently declare they lose internet access. Sometimes they will continue to show current emails and sometimes not. I also have a second instance of Firefox running with MyYahoo and Start.me. All other apps on Windows 10 retain internet access as well as other non email tabs within Firefox. This does NOT happen with Chrome and the instances have increased in frequency so that I may have to switch back to using the Chrome browser. I test websites and need immediate access to email responses. I am willing to provide debug information, but don't know what or how I should report this condition. Until I get feedback I will be forced to utilize Chrome or (gasp - Edge) as my browser. I am using a Windows 10 system on an Device name Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 GX550 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz 3.10 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

Please help me.

Starting a couple of months ago, images do not load in emails sent by Constant Contact despite the domain of the sender being in Outlook safe sender list. This does not happen in Edge or Chrome or Safari. Interestingly, adding a new domain to the safe sender list will result in Firefox very briefly displaying images then refreshing with them removed.

Firefox stopped opening Amazon, Youtube and others. This started after the last update of windows and Firefox. I have spent the last 2 days trying to find answers on the help page but nothing seems to work.

This is the error message.

             Secure Connection Failed
            An error occurred during a connection to www.amazon.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
            Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
            The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data                       could not be verified.
            Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I can open these websites in edge.

Also, I am not very knowledgeable in computer programing so please make any questions or suggestion as basic as possible. Thank you.

Up to 10 minutes ago I was able to access my own website and my own blog. Now all of a sudden I get told that there is a problem and it is a security issue blah. This is obviously nonsense as I have three other browser and they can all reach my own website and my website sever (dashboard) which is with a reputable company that scans my website regularly and has all the correct certificates etc. It is very annoying because up to 10 minutes ago I was using it no problem. I cleared the cache and reloaded. Same problem.

The problem is YOUR BROWSER. I had this once before with a bank and with a govt website. Suddenly they stopped loading. I had to switch to different browsers for particular sites. Months later after your updates they work again.

Please fix your problems. You should do better. Firefox is starting to fall behind. Too many errors.
