I always have multiple tabs open in my browser. Previously, I could easily open (and switch between) 20+ tabs (I have 16GB of RAM). Recently, after opening five tabs, the Task Manager shows 10-11GB of RAM (88-90%) in use! How can this be? I cleared the cache and history, but it didn't help. I installed several RAM cleaners, but none freed up the required amount. None of the five programs worked. Where does that 15GB of RAM go when I open Firefox? When will you finally implement something like Google Chrome—they free up RAM for active pages when inactive ones are opened. Maybe it's because I have so many inactive tabs that the RAM is disappearing? But I had just as many tabs before, some of them inactive, and fewer than 20 active ones, so I could easily open another 20. And now I can't even open five new ones. What's happening to the browser?! SOS!

The New Line (Enter) key always double spaces, which is intended for paragraph text. But for tabular text, this makes unnecessary white space. What key combination generates only a SINGLE new line character rather than TWO of them?

Example: Donor: xxxxx Email: xxxxx Phone: xxxxx Billing Address: xxxxx Bank: xxxxx; Account ending in xxxx

This screen defaults to single spacing; why doesn't Thunderbird allow it?

In one folder, one message received on 20th Feb keeps altering its date/time so that it appears AFTER replies I've sent in response. This has occurred following a problem with the same folder where several emails went missing, which I managed to restore with the Repair Folder function. Thought I might try looking in the file (not the MSF, the other one), but it's far too big for any text editor to open.

I am living in China and I used to be able to use a VPN with firefox without any problems.

Several months ago, I was suddenly only able to browse if I switched the VPN on (previously, it worked with or without (depending on whether the website was accessible from China).

I have recently changed VPN providers and now firefox doesn't browse at all.

Is there anything I should change in the settings?

Thanks

While watching netflix, I randomly get error code F7361-1253 which prevents the video from playing. Can happen at any random time while watching. I have had firefox for years and have only got this issue in the past few months. It does not happen on other browsers like chrome.

I have tried disabling all extensions and troubleshoot mode, doesn't fix it. I didn't change any firefox settings since this started happening. DRM is enabled, widevine is the latest version, so is firefox, fully updated. I am using Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22631 Build 22631

These are the warnings I got in the console as soon as the netflix error pops up:


Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats: audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.42" 81036307

A fair number of folders in my primary email address's inbox have been out of sorted order for at least several months.

Most of them are folders I access quite often; they now appear AFTER what used to be the last folder ("Zoom").

If this is a "feature," I suggest moving the highest activity folders to the FRONT of the inbox rather than to the BACK.

HOW DO I RE-SORT MY INBOX FOLDERS?

Thank you.
