My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

Firefox has been running incredibly slow. I currently only have this window open, but if I open my task manger it shows 10 Firefox windows running. If I right click and end task, it will end the task, but shortly there after a new one will pop up. 1 of the is running in efficiency mode. I assume this is what is slowing down performance, but I do not know how to fix.

Hi I’ve been a dedicated Firefox user since as long as I can remember across all my devices. Since buying an iPad Pro and setting up with Firefox, as I have on all my devices, on the iPad Firefox performance is really poor. Websites often freeze and downloading pdfs from websites or from SharePoint etc. often does not work. An empty file will be saved. When switching to another browser I don’t experience these problems and I have no other software problems on the iPad. Running Firefox 139.1 on iPadOS 18.5 on a 13” iPad Pro M4 (MVX33HC/A)

Can you please let me know what your proposed fixes are for this? Thank you and kind regards Ewald

Several weeks ago Firefox worked normally for me. I left for most of the day and when I got home Firefox no longer worked at all. Everything on my home page was gone and when I typed in websites - such as my e-mail program or Facebook, nothing ever came up. I'm not super browser savvy, but I opened the menu and under help was "trouble shooting mode". I didn't know what that was but figured nothing much more could go wrong with Firefox, so I chose that. I had to rebuild the websites I had in a row on the middle of the page. I didn't lose bookmarks, but everything else was different. So I left it that way.

Earlier today, Firefox wanted me to do another update. I thought maybe by agreeing to that, things might return to normal. Noooooooo. It's no better whatever. Now I don't know how to get out of troubleshooting mode to know if anything will work normally again.

I am seriously considering switching browsers, but I have a LOT of stuff bookmarked and that would be very intensive to build all those book marks in another browser.

I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo on Ubuntu 24.04, Gnome desktop. My Firefox browser window regularly freezes but can be unfrozen by simply repositioning the window. This is really annoying.

I also use Chromium on the same system and there are no issues.

Any ideas?

im using firefox on ubuntu, version 139.0.4. when i browse the internet using firefox, every some time the toolbar and the search bar "freeze" - i am unable to click anything, from the url, to any of the buttons. it takes up to like 1/2 minutes for the search bar and the toolbar to work again. i never had this issue before, neither on ubuntu (and other linux distributions), nor on windows...

I just updated my iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 18.5, to the latest version of Firefox mobile (140.3). The app keeps freezing in such a way that I am unable to press the “open tabs” button to view my tabs. Restarting the phone fixes this issue for a while, but it’s been happening again and again in the last couple of days. This issue is impeding my internet browsing so much that I am considering switching to a different browser for my phone.

I have a new desktop i7 computer with 16 GB of RAM. Why are my Firefox browser screens locking up? I'm running Windows 11 Pro. I don't have this problem with Chrome.

i dont know if anyone else is having this problem but when using firefox on android the back button gets greyed out and i cant go back it happens randomly and it gets annoying. I hope they find the cause of it and fix it.

What's wrong with the new release?

Today i decided try the new firefox(140) since it's going to be ESR, but i'm getting hot-fan from a couple of tabs (particularly video streams). Second it's slower and seems to have 4second delay for shutdown..

The laptop is running linux mint with intel i5 (11th), tigerlake (iris xe) gpu. It might not be newest, but it shouldn't have a problem with regular web browsing.

Is it a bug? like it's not maxing my ram or cpu during use.

I updated firefox just yesterday or earlier today idk and the right click menu is so long with multiples of the same and they DO NoThInG! Linux Mint 22 Cin. 6.8.0-55 Generic Kernel

Do I need Firefox 78.0.2 (x64) and Firefox ESR (x64)? Also I noticed I have noticed a very slow startup. I have an old Dell Vostro 460 PC. I also did a Task Manager and noticed five Firefox process. Can I shut some of these down?

Thanks, Irv

Full Blank screen when opening new tab or webpage Does this intermittently, at least once per day. Recovery is to clear all active apps from memory, then reopen Firefox; previouse tabs are present.

No relation to number of tabs open or number of other apps open.
This problem has persisted for at least 2 FF build updates.
 It is NOT A MEMORY ISSUE, I checked last failure

3.8gb in use out of 8gb!

Using Android 13. Firefox: 139.0.4 (Build #2016095887), hg-3825afc77e5b+ GV: 139.0.4-20250609112858 AS: 139

I have duck duck go set as my search engine on my galaxy S10+. At some point my Firefox browser updated and now every time I search something, or load any page within the search engine I get a forced web page refresh when trying to scroll down the results page or any page. If I hold my thumb down on the screen and slowly slide it upwards it backs off the refresh gesture and then everything works fine. I have switched search engines, so I know it's not the search page itself, and it only happens in Firefox. I do have 100 tabs backed up but I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and starting new but it doesn't matter. Firefox still forces a refresh when I try to scroll down. I've become so frustrated with this that I installed brave browser today to see if that browser did the same thing and it does not, so until I can get some help fixing this I will be switching to brave browser from here on out. Attached is an example after I searched the term "searching the web" it did not have an issue scrolling on the results page, but then I clicked on images and tried to scroll and as you can see it is trying to refresh the page.
