In the past weeks, suddenly my Firefox started behaving really weird - a few times a day the currently opened tab becomes unresponsive (you can't click or hover anything) but you can still scroll through them (at least a bit - after that point, it's just plain white). At these times, the cursor is the hand one, during the whole unresponsiveness episode, as if everything was clickable (though obviously clicking does nothing). You also can't close the tab during this tab - the only way is either to wait a good 30 seconds for it to unfreeze or to change to a different tab and close the unresponsive one. When you do change tabs, though, the newly opened tab sometimes disappears completely, with a radial loading circle appearing in the middle of the screen for a few seconds before it magically reappears (it does _not_ reload, though!). From what I've been able to observe, this tends to appear on content-heavy websites like Reddit, Facebook and YouTube most often.
What is happening? I haven't changed my browsing habits in the past weeks, nor have I installed any new add-ons. I've tried disabling the ones I have but it's still happening with them turned off. What else may I try?
using a proxy to browse google.com, it will popup a big window

Hello! (FF 65.0.1) I recently tried to access the preferences page but I get an error of "Unresponsive Script" on "resource://gre/modules/Localization.jsm:444"
Starting in Safe Mode solved the issue so I opened FF again and disabled all extensions but not luck. So I tried disabling Hebrew (using Hebrew on my FF) on the languages tab and it solved the issue.
What can I do to keep using Hebrew and to be able to access the preferences?
Thanks!

I'm having problems with my dropdown notification and profile menus at this particular site:
The problem only started after the patch for v.66. The problem is that when I navigate to the site, the dropdown menus - which you get by clicking on the numbered icon or profile icon in the top right of your page after you log in - work sometimes and other times you can't. I makes the site mostly unusuable since you can't see your notifications. It's kind of a crap-shoot. I thought messing around with and toggling on and off "Performance" standards might work, and it appears that it does change things for a minute or two, but then it ceases to matter.
Do I need to downgrade? Where is the downgrade page?

I purchase a Microsoft surface pro 4 and I used firefox . somehow the tablet overheated to the point of melting the glue tape and releasing the lcd panel from the box and cooking the lcd panel to the shape of a turtle shell. now I have a surface pro 6 and when I use firefox even with minimal tabs the tablet overheats severely. this is ridiculous why does firefox cause the cpu to overclock and overheat and WORSE OF ALL THIS IS NON STOP
there is no doubt that firefox is the cause. I am using edge and chrome and the tablet is colder than my fridge.
why this cpu abuse.

Hi Firefox keeps on suspending when switching between different tabs (already opened or new tabs). When the FF is hang I can do nothing in the FF, but I can operate on the Windows (8.1) without issues.
I have already tried: - Put new Firefox portable - the same issue - Close other tabs - Disable EMET for Firefox - Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser set to True - Security.sandbox.content.level set to 2 - Disable add-ons plugins and start in safe mode
Nothing of above helps. I would appreciate If you could provide the solution. I attached Troubleshooting information.

With Firefox version 63, I have the problem on YouTube and Netflix, if I snap Firefox in a corner (with mouse or WIN + arrow keys) and switch a video to full screen, left and right is still a few pixels square. In addition, the taskbar is in the foreground (can not be fixed). [IMAGE 1]
If not left, right (top or bottom) snapped then it works, if Firefox is maximized too. The error occurs only in Firefox. Exit Explorer.exe and reboot PC does not work. Error exists since update on the first day of release (early October) - version has been withdrawn by MS,
I also installed the version on my laptop and have been updating ever since.
Apparently the error also occurs with some others: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/9lwzmm/fullscreen_broken_in_october_update/ but it has probably not changed.
Useful data: Windows version 1809 build 17763.134 Graphics driver up to date Firefox completely reinstalled (profile, cache & cookies deleted) even without add-ons started. 2 monitors On the laptop (also tested with 2 monitors) no problems.
I am thankful for every help. Error is really annoying.

In Firefox 60 when I go to delete individual cookies I can no longer use the "delete" key on the keyboard. This was always useful for quickly deleting any unwanted cookies, scroll using the arrow then delete. Now I have to ctrl+click, scroll and click remove. One mis-click and they all get unselected and you have to start again. How to re-enable the delete key?

On my Lenovo laptop, the left shift key doesn't work within Firefox.
Both shift keys work in other browsers, other programs, etc. The right shift key works within Firefox. When I try to use the left shift key together with another key, nothing happens. For example, a capital H just won't appear and if I type "Hi" it appears as just "i". When I plug in an external keyboard, both the right and left shift keys DO work
What I've tried so far: - Uninstalled and reinstalled FF - Tried FF in safe mode - Uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard from Device Manager in Windows - Restarted laptop
None of this works! Would appreciate suggestions.
Is there a good way to report a safety or accessibility bug?

Hi,
I am photosensitive, and encounter a lot of safety and accessibility problems online. I have configured Firefox to try to block as many strobes and other dangers as possible, but I am not an expert, I haven't found enough solutions, and USERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE EXPERTS TO USE THE WEB WITHOUT MIGRAINES AND/OR SEIZURES.
I have posted a bug about one of these problems. It was "resolved invalid" because I should report an "accessibility bug," instead of reporting an accessibility bug.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1472345\
I know there'sa an underlying refusal to make it possible to use the web without injury, because:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227886 is still WONTFIX
If there were a safe browser, I'd use it, but there isn't.
Firefox frequently stutters, lags, and results in severe input delay
This has only been happening for about a week or so, but it seems to be getting gradually worse and worse to the point where I'm considering just using another browser. B… (read more)
This has only been happening for about a week or so, but it seems to be getting gradually worse and worse to the point where I'm considering just using another browser. Basically what is happening is that whenever I'm using Firefox, it will very frequently stutter/lag. And by "frequently" I mean once every 2-4 seconds. This stutter hangs for about another 1-2 seconds before any inputs I attempted will suddenly and quickly catch up.
For instance, if I'm typing (like I'm doing with this description) it will regularly hang as I type for about a second or two. I can still type while it is hanging, but nothing will appear on the screen until it finishes its stutter, then it will suddenly just display everything that I typed.
-Important note: When I say "hangs" I don't mean in the tradition sense where the browser goes unresponsive. The browser does not freeze. In the case of me typing in a text box, the cursor still blinks as if it is waiting for input. If I'm watching a video, the video will continue to play, etc. What is "hanging" is literally my ability to input anything.
Another example: Scrolling. I'll attempt to scroll, then it will hang for a moment, then quickly jump to the location it 'should' have scrolled to.
This goes for literally any input. And Like I said before, it seems to be getting worse and worse gradually over time. It started as a negligible little hiccup that happened randomly. Then it got more frequent and more pronounced. Now I can't even type a full word without it lagging out. Just earlier I was watching a youtube video and tried to click my mouse to pause the video... but the video didn't pause for a full 3 seconds until after I clicked my mouse.
Things I have done so far:
- I made sure I was using the most recent version of Firefox (69.0)
- I downloaded chrome to test if that gave me the same issues. It did not. Everything worked super smoothly.
- I looked at the resources Firefox was using in task manager and Firefox uses about 530mb of memory, and hovers between 4-11% of CPU usage.
- I have already attempted a restore for Firefox, which did nothing to fix the issue.
- I've made sure my graphics drivers where up to date.
- I've disabled hardware acceleration in the settings.
I've been using Firefox for over 12 years now and I really don't want to switch browsers... but I don't know what else I can do.

Hi, I'm an eng trying to do cross-browser debugging. Firefox is giving me a weird bug. To start:
- No plugins installed - No ad blockers installed - Cleared cache, cookies, history, everything - version 58.0.2 (64-bit) on Mac OS 10.12.6
Having trouble repro'ing this bug but here's my best shot.
Navigate to https://www.joinhonor.com/care-network
Shrink the browser width to about 500px.
Scroll a bit, wait a bit. Maybe do something else for a few seconds.
Page goes blank except for header, footer and maybe a few other components.
Doesn't happen in Chrome or Safari.
I've been able to repro on a few pages but not consistently.
Any ideas? Thanks!

We use an internal email server which is accessed via Firefox (MDaemon) and when pasting a screen capture (either via printscreen or GreenShot) in to an email, the image pastes twice.
This is only the case within Firefox, not an issue when using Edge.
It is occurring company wide so I doubt that it is a profile issue. I have tried running Firefox with hardware acceleration disabled but it didn't have any effect. I have also tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode but again, no difference.
Example shown below; paint window which was captured using alt+printscreen
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next?

Yesterday all files and folders on my (win10) desktop suddenly got two blue arrows on them. I googled the problem and it turned out that the desktop folder had gotten the setting for compressing all its content turned on. I changed it back to no compression and the arrows disappeared. Today it happened again, and I changed it back again. However, I noticed that all newly downloaded files are still getting compressed. I made a new folder for the downloads (previously the went straight to the desktop), and the files I copied in to it are fine but all new downloads from FF still get compressed. When I download from Chrome it's fine.
Is this a Firefox problem? I looked through the settings but can't find anything relating to compression.

hello. i am trying to open a new window by right clicking on the pinned taskbar item and using "Open new window".
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."
the problem is is that i want to open a new window while already having one open. the already opened window is responding just fine. and i don't want to close it or save the session or bookmark all tabs.
only thing i have been able to work around for this is... while in the already opened Firefox window, create a new tab, right-click and move that tab to a new window. i can also right-click a URL and open in new window.
i am on Windows 10 Home. and this issue only started happening after updating Firefox to 66.0.3 (64-bit).
on a side note... the same thing occurs when trying to use the following from the context menu on pinned taskbar item... "Open new tab" "New private window"
and also when directly clicking "Firefox" in the context menu of the pinned taskbar item.
any help is appreciated! thank you!
