NO Options in menu.
Over and over, when trying to get help from firefox, I am told to go to Options in the three bar menu. There is NO options on the menu. Using Windows 10 pro All programs updated. NEVER had "Options" on the Firefox menu - NEVER!!! Told to go to General and turn off Hardware acceleration. NO SUCH choice exists in the General heading under the Settings.
What Universe am I in?????

Hi
If you select Settings and then under the General tab, scroll down to Performance. If you de-select "Use recommended performance settings" you will see the hardware acceleration option.
I hope that this helps.

What kind of problems do you have that you think can be fixed by disabling hardware acceleration?
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver.

It used to be Options on Windows and Preferences on macOS and Linux up till some time ago. It is currently Settings whether on Windows, macOS or Linux now. This old mozillaZIne KB article shows what it used to be http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac
Whatever source you you used that said to go to Options in Firefox menu was rather outdated. AI chat bots have been unfortunately mentioning the outdated Options/Preferences instead of Settings as they should as this was not a recent change.
