How can I stop websites creating/updating cache files when I'm not interacting with the web page? Firefox constantly has a cpu/disk usage.

I keeps lots of pages open (almost 100) but they are continually adding/updating cache in the background. More than 1gb of cache is created withing a couple of days.

Thanks

My workflow is such that organize my tabs into separate windows for distincty different subjects. Generally this work fine; when I shut down, they typically re-open as before.

Recently this function has stopped working. Now when I launch Firefox after a shutdown, the "Window" menu shows that the separate windows still exist, but some of them stubbornly refuse to re-open. Clicking the individual titles in the window menu has no effect, they remain unopened.

When this happened to me a few years ago, I was advised to re-start my laptop in safe mode. At that time this procedure solved the problem, but now it does nothing. Does anyone hve an alternate suggestion?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

Frequent crashes on Windows 10

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

The firefox container tabs no longer have the container name just the color. I've looked at the setting, but nothing is there. Hovering over tab does not help. It used to work up until a few months ago.

This is difficult when different containers only show color and not what type they are ex. Personal, Banking...etc

Thanks,

Tab bar and Toolbar in one single bar

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping to achieve a streamlined interface in Firefox without the clutter of two separate bars.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I want the tab bar and toolbar combined into a single bar, similar to Safari on Mac. Specifically:

   The forward and backward arrows should be positioned to the left of the tabs.
   The search bar should be smaller and also located to the left of the tabs.
   The application menu button and extensions button should be moved to the top right corner (on the same bar as the tabs).
   I want to completely remove the separate toolbar, as it takes up unnecessary space.

I’ve attached an image for clarity.

I'm currently using Firefox 132 64-bit on an Intel Mac running macOS Catalina.

I’ve already tried the Neptune theme from this link: Neptune Firefox. The creator is amazing, and the theme is exactly what I need to keep me using Firefox exclusively. However, despite following the instructions carefully, I still only see the layout shown in my attached image. I can't seem to get everything into one bar.

I don’t have experience with coding CSS, and I currently lack the time to learn it. I’m unsure if the Neptune theme should be selectable in the themes menu, but it doesn’t appear there. However, I know this design is possible. I’ve searched various forums and read many threads, but none have provided a solution to my problem.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in achieving the design shown in the attached image. Whether it’s through a theme, custom CSS code, a plugin, or any other method, I’m open to suggestions as long as it works. Thank you!

I have used Firefox for years and been 100% satisfied. Then I discovered Reddit and my inability to "reply" to any of the thousand posts there. I also have seen ALL the fixes people have done to make that work - and the resulting 100% lack of success. More recently, I have discovered X, and was able to "do all the things" on that platform....until now. Now it won't even OPEN X!!!! WTH? It says it was a failure. No kidding. Then I heard that I should remove enhanced tracking. Did that. Still failure.

Why are we going backwards with this browser? I am stunned that it won't even open a major, major internet platform. What can I do?????

I guess it's back to Safari. Yes, I'm on a Mac. But that shouldn't matter because until this last update, at least X worked.

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }

}

Il y a 2 semaines je travaillais comme d'habitude sous Firefox et faisais appel à des services Google, tels Photos et GMail et d'autres . SANS PROBLEME J'ai renouvelé mon abonnement a AVAST et en ai profité pour exécuter certaines options de nettoyage qu'Avast me proposait. J'ai été surpris quelques jours plus tard de ne pas pouvoir accéder à Google Photos : j'avais les emplacements et commentaires mais pas les photos !

Puis j'ai remarqué que Gmail n'acceptait pas des screenshots

En cherchant l'aide, j'ai supprimé tous les Cookies de Firefox

Depuis lors, que ce soit pour n'importe quel service de Google, autre que RECHERCHE, MAPS, Youtube et Chrome j'obtiens un écran de rejet de GOOGLE quand il est demandé par Firefox. Toujours la même réponse , comme dans le fichier joint

Si je n'arrive plus a travailler avec Firefox que j'ai toujours utilisé, il faudra que je passe à un autre navigateur C'est dommage et contrariant

When I am using certain apps as webpages and I input information firefox keeps asking to update password even though the password has not been changed nor am I even in the place where passwords would be entered. Is there a way to turn this off at least for certain webpages ? Even manually and individually would be fine, maybe an option on the "update password" box to "not on this site" or something like that. Thanks,
