Hello, I have 3 PCs. One is Windows 10, Firefox 131.0.3 One is Windows 10 firefox 131.0 One is windows 11 firefox 131.0.3

All 3 PCs are running BOINC, using the remaining CPU power up to 100%

On PC W10 + FF 131.0 and PC W11 + FF131.0.3 BOINC and FF share the processor time up to 100% On the PC W10 + FF 131.0.3 when FF is dispatched, no processor time is assigned to BOINC and CPU busy is no more 100%. This situation occurs frequently and can last several minutes.

For the past couple months or so, I've had constant issues with screen tearing when scrolling or with 60FPS YouTube videos. Nothing I've tried has seemed to work, and it's seriously bugging me. The issue does not seem to be present when the video display is small, but it's apparent as ever when fullscreened.

Things I've tried that I can remember, and that haven't worked: - Enabling hardware acceleration - Forcing VSync through NVIDIA Control Panel - Setting layers.acceleration.force-enabled in about:config to true

Weird Youtube artifacting when seeking or skipping forward/backward

Hello, I’ve been having this weird artifacting happen on YouTube when skipping ahead or backwards with the arrow keys, or when scrubbing/clicking on another point on the time bar. It’s this garbled mess of the last screen that stays there until a new shot or enough of the current image changes. It is really annoying as I am someone who tends to skip around a lot in videos and I tend to have to replay parts because of this or just deal with this mess. It only happens on YouTube and only on Firefox for some reason. If anyone knows what could be causing this, I’d really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to find a similar issue online, maybe I am searching the wrong thing. Tried to get some screenshots of it with something that would really show it. This has been happening for a while. I use a Mac Studio with an M1 Max since it released in 2022. I've tried reinstalling Firefox as well and that did not fix it.

This happens on any video regardless of what quality settings it is at. I've tried adjusting hardware acceleration to no avail. I dont really know what else to try at this point.

All I got when trying to drag photos and URLs to my desktop was a red circle-slash. Turns out Firefox is the only browser that insists on UAC being turned on, apparently a -no-deelevate problem — whatever that is. Despite three calls for help here, not a single person read my post. Of course, there's o Mozilla support.

A bigger revelation was that users are not allowed to uninstall Firefox. Requesting uninstall in Control Panel is not an option. Firefox only allows you to initiate a repair. Takes combing through every Mozilla and Firefox entry in App Data and RegEdit to get rid of this pest.

Enough. I've gone from Mozilla to Nozilla.

I woke up this morning to find every single one of my passwords missing. It was so sudden that I could still go to a page and the usernames would still pop up for the log in, but the entire password database is empty.

I am just in a complete panic and shock, I had so much info in there.

I have a bunch of logins.json and a couple logins.json corrupt from around 2:26 this morning which I guess is when the system restarted.

is there anything I can do at all?
