Popup GUI elements if pulled up twice in quick succession spike my CPU usage and crash the program

some examples: -menu bar menus -the menu button -context menus (websites with their own context menus do not do this) -preview tooltips

I've tried disabling extensions, turning hardware acceleration off and on and disabling AI to no avail. Disabling the preview tooltips 'worked' but I'd prefer not to disable everything here. Are there any other settings that might help?

Again Firefox? Again? Third time the charm or something? Stop this ridiculous handoff from Search bar in page to URL bar for searches. It's not safe, helpful, or anything other than confusing. Give us the Option. Seriously, it is why we use FF in the first place, Despite tons of companies not supporting it well for website access. I am mad and literally after decades of use am making my first formal complaint. Fix This Please. Add a bunch of appropriate curse words here please. Thanks and keep up all the other great work.

Is there a way to disable tab groups without going through about:config? Because I can't find it and there really should be...I have no idea how that feature works, I don't want it, but I keep ending up with groups unintentionally. I still don't know how I'm doing it. It's incredibly annoying and apparently incredibly easy to accidentally trigger and I'm sick of losing tab space to these random colored boxes for no apparent reason!

I am using version 143 for Linux and it is suppose to have improved fingerprinting protection. But when I go to https://coveryourtracks.eff.org i still see a result that says "your browser has a unique fingerprint"

Is there a parameter I should be enabling ?

I'm reading https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozillacrashreporter#w_when-firefox-crashes

Firefox crashes but I have never seen the crash reporter on my 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 Fedora 43 system with budgie-desktop 10.9.3

Is the crash reporter discontinued?

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

I am switching from firefox to firefox-esr. Version 147.0.3 to 140.7.0esr, start firefox with --allow-downgrade which mostly works. What does not is the "Home default" page, it is blank and can not even be configured to what it was because the settings page is also blank, nothing below "choose what content ...".

I have done this on 4 machines now with same failure for the home page. settings. My previous workaround was new profile and import data so the setting page is therein ESR. This is a far harder than it should be there being no single export-import. I had to export import history with a third party plugin and cookies the only method [I found] was to copy the sqlite file. Others like password export-import are fragmented.
