Firefox-Hilfeforum

I have the same issue as stated in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1390122?page=3

How does it come that it is still present in 117? Why is there no official guide or warning about this issue? I am forced to use Portable 101 where there are no such bugs. The solution in the thread is unclear and points to Microsoft, which is ridiculous. The question is how to solve that Mozilla's bug?

System:

Windows 10 pro 22h2 19045.3516

Intel i5-10200h with UHD 620

Driver 31.0.101.2125

Firefox ESR 115.3.0

When watching streams in firefox, I noticed that overall iGPU load is very high, up to 70%, a lot higher than watching 1080p movie with dedicated player.

I found that the firefox actually only shares 10~20 iGPU load, the rest are from DWM, which load is up to 40% sometimes.

Also found if I switch from the tab with streaming page to another normal webpage, DWM immediately drops its usage to about 2%, firefox still uses some load as it's still decoding. DWM usage rises if I switch back.

I tried force firefox to use nvidia dGPU, firefox does use nvidia card to decode, but the DWM problem said above still apply.

See attatched image as prove.

Since 117(Beta)I have an issue with Firefox refusing to apply the update it downloaded. I've tried searching left and right on the internet for a solution and one does work which is installing the newer version of the browser each time myself. But this is ofcourse not a solution in the long run.

It tries now to apply the update 118b9 to stable version 118 and it did downloaded just fine and asked me if I wanted to close the program to let it update which always worked. I've tried different DNS to see if that could be the problem, tried a clean default profile to see if that helped, I haven't tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, due to me losing my passwords and what not.

I also tried to run the stable version to see if the issue was still there and it is still there, so me using the beta channel isn't the issue here.

Version 118.0 Seit heute Morgen kann ich Firefox nicht mehr normal starten. Nur als Admin, es werden aber keine Webseiten mehr angezeigt und wenn ich in die Adresszeile etwas eingebe passiert nichts. Ich habe den Browser deinstalliert und neu installiert, ohne Erfolg. Dann habe ich die Unser Datei gelöscht, ohne Erfolg. Die Firewall blockiert nicht und den Virenschutz habe ich deaktiviert, ohne Erfolg. Beides ist das original Win10 Werkzeug. Wenn ich about:support eingebe passiert nichts, kann das Menu aber über den Link öffnen

115.3.1 esr automatically downloaded and installed and it disfigured 102.5.0 to the point that there was not an address bar, menu bar and only part of the tabs because I am using userChrome.css that I have used for years - is there a fix?

Dear all, we have lot of cases reported from Firefox users around the world. Users reported that the menu of the Firefox changing to default ---- installed version.

This feature https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-another-language simply not working on current stable and beta Firefox.

When the window with languages is closed it immediately forget every languages except default.

Workaround is install language version that user would use, but this is not easy way id we need to create all language package version in our global company.

affected versions 119.0b1 (64-bit)

Thanks for fix.

This morning, I brought up Firefox and found my bookmarks (including the toolbar) had vanished. I tried restoring my profile folder, but that didn't help. I also tried restoring the bookmarks from Firefox's own backups, but I got some "Unable to process backup file." messages. What do I do now?

This has happened to me too many times and haven't found a solution to it. When I open Firefox after I have booted up my PC, my browser would either function as normal and everything is kept the same, or would act as if I am new to Firefox and reset my settings and add-ons. I tried re-installing the browser and creating new browser profile, yet those solutions that I've found hasn't worked. Any solutions would be helpful, thanks

(In the image provided, this is what happens at times when opening the browser after turning on my PC)

Firefox stopped computer from working in the middle of important file upload to force an update. Now it will not attach any file to email at all, not even a link. Have shut down computer twice to restart and still nothing will attach.

I Closed the browser and forgot that I had a private one open too. When I went to open the main Firefox window up, my previous session was wiped! I already tried the right clicking plus sign method to no avail. It just brings up the one I had after searching how to bring back the session and then accidentally closed the browser after. Any tips on how to get it back? Why does this happen just because you have a private window open??? Change that ASAP!

This has happened a few times before after a Firefox update, but the most recent occurrence was after the update to version 117.0.1. My mouse wheel will not scroll in the bookmarks drop down menu, I have to use the up and down arrows in the drop down menu which is very slow. When the scroll wheel did work in the past, I could be scrolling and then move the cursor to the up or down arrows and scroll even faster still using the scroll wheel and get to the folder I want a lot quicker. The scroll wheel works normally while scrolling through webpages, the only place it doesn't scroll is the bookmarks drop down menu. I'm running Firefox version 117.0.1 (64 bit) on a Windows 10 notebook PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

hello. I have a reproducable issue with Firefox. If I use the touch keyboard on Firefox and then exit Firefox without without closing the touch keyboard, when I next start Firefox it only opens with a half view. if I close the touch keyboard first and then exit Firefox it opens as normal in a full screen view. it has nothing to do with either an extension or a theme. is there any way of ensuring that FF opens in full screen view if I forget to close the touch keyboard before exiting the browser? thanks in advance. PS: device is a Surface Pro 7 running Windows 11.

Watching videos on Twitter/X doesn't seem to work too well on Firefox. I don't have an account, but I sometimes have to watch a clip on the site. The problem is that you cannot skip the video i.e. you cannot move the dot that shows where you are on the video; you have to watch it from the start, till the end. You cannot also change the volume, apart from clicking on the "mute", so technically here you have the options of full sound and no sound. Twitter has always worked perfectly on the Microsoft Edge that came with the Windows on this desktop PC (bought in fall 2020).

The right pane on google drive is not loading on firefox. It says "Couldn't load, Try again". Dev tools show the error "NS_ERROR_INTERCEPTION_FAILED".

If i clean the data and cookies for the website it starts working but not for long. Last time i did it i lasted like 5 minutes. Turning off all the extensions doesn't help.

I'm logged in on several google accounts, don't know if that matters.

Hey there, I did some random fiddling around with my Lenovo Ideapad 320/Windows 10 and now I have the following msg when I use Firefox browser..... "XUL runner: The profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile". I am able to use my browser ordinarily but this msg comes up when I open the browser. I am at not at all knowledgeable about this kind of thing, so should I just ignore and carry on browsing or what would you suggest I do? If the problem needs to be resolved by me, I would definitely a point by point explanation to rectify this. Look forward to hearing from you and hope you're having a good day so far

I run several of my Firefox windows in compact sizes, and there are just so many little icons taking up space in the address typing field (what do you call it? It isn't the address bar).

I do not use the Tracker shield. I do not use Padlock "Verified". I do not use "You have granted this website blah blah permissions". I do not use Open in Picture-in-Picture, or the bookmark buttons.

These features, when I need them, I would rather access from somewhere else, like from a menu or with a shortcut key combo.

See the image of how cramped it is with the imo superfluous buttons that for some reason decided they have to live in the text box, preventing me from seeing what I type.
