Strange errors suddenly? Error message "could not be compacted because writing to folder failed." (bug1959858)

I have no idea why, but TB is wonking out lately with strange errors?

The folder '[Gmail]/Sent Mail on me@mydomain.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I have a ton of space and have not changed anything on the PC?

Any ideas?

I was not sure which "topic" to select. I use Yahoo mail for email. Up until a month ago or so, I was able to type the first few letters of a person's name and the email address for that person automatically filled in. This no longer works. The only article on Yahoo's "help" that I could find said it was probably a browser issue.

Any ideas on how I can get my cache back? Or at least start over?

The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

How do I change the time out to a longer time?

I put music on my profile page on FUBAR.Com. I change the music each week. I have used FIREFOX there for two years or so with no problems.

Today I changed the HTML (supplied by YouTube) for the music but when I look at my profile page I get an error message that says I need to be signed in to insure I'm not a bot (a post from YouTube). After a lot of discussion it was found out that when other users view my page they see and hear the music video just fine!!??

What's the problem> FUBAR support says it's FireFox???

PLEASE HELP ME I don't want to go to a microfrost browser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm running WIN 10 and will stay there! Thanks Donnie

I’ve noticed that Firefox consumes a lot of memory, especially when I have multiple tabs open. Sometimes, it slows down my entire system, and Task Manager shows Firefox using over 1GB of RAM even with just a few tabs. Other browsers like Chrome or Edge seem to handle memory better with the same number of tabs.

I’ve tried restarting Firefox, closing unused tabs, and disabling a few extensions, but the problem keeps coming back. I even checked techsquest.com for tips, but I’m still struggling. Are there specific settings, hidden features, or optimizations I can apply to reduce Firefox’s memory usage without sacrificing performance?

Here’s what I’ve already checked:

Firefox is updated to the latest version.

No unusual extensions running (just uBlock Origin and Dark Reader).

Hardware acceleration is enabled.

Any help would be appreciated—thanks in advance!

My doctor's office sent me a list of pharmacies and I had to check one, but my computer won't let me type anything in the circle. This happens on any site where I have to fill in a box or circle with my choice of answer. For example, I can't type in the box below which says "email me when someone answers the thread".

I'm using Windows 10 and have just completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

PROBLEM: Using MS Office 2021, OUTLOOK, when I select "EMAIL LINK" I get two windows, the expected one with the email link in the body, and one much smaller that is blank.

The second smaller window is an extra and serves no purpose; except that I have to close it. After an hour with a senior Microsoft tech this morning, he said the problem with with Mozilla; that everything works normally (only one window opens!) - leaving Firefox/Mozilla as the source of the problem

I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, clearing the cache, etc., etc. so I have nothing to attach. ALSO, when I tried to "Share Date," there was an error and I 've had to retype the above again. So, if you need more that the info I've given, please let me know.

I thought it was an issue with my pc, but chrome does not have this issue and neither do other applications. I have tried clearing my cache and cookies as well as ensuring mozilla was using my computer performance settings as opposed to hardware acceleration. The attached images are a very small example of the issue. Typically, after clicking on the screen or pressing a button the text is corrected but often replaced with new text being "corrupted". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
