Good afternoon. For the last day or so my Firefox has been running slower than normal. It takes longer to load my home page than normal, for one example. Actually it takes a little longer than it had to load most web pages. I tried opening the same pages on Edge to make sure it is not just an internet issue and Edge works fine.

I am also having an issue with settings. When I open settings, privacy, and navigate to saved logins before when the list would automatically populate it now takes almost 12 seconds to load all my logins.

I did try to run the browser in troubleshoot mode and the behavior did not change.

I am running Firefox 118.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

how to download and install an older version of Firefox

I currently am running FF vers. 109.0.1 64 bit on Win 10 pro. I don't like what I've been reading about the latest update, my machines are old and I'm not ready to upgrade so I don't want an even more overloaded/uses up more CPU, etc., version of Firefox. I don't have complex needs in a browser, so some of the "upgrades" haven't been useful for me or have made using FF more difficult.

  I found a list of what I guess are older versions but no information was provided on how to choose a version of say v. 110, to make sure it's the right one for my laptop and/desktop (or the one that will work w/the fewest problems) that it's in English, etc.   
  My impression is that FF is mostly worked on by people who have a variety of needs & interests so increasing sophistication is what they want and that's fine, I'd like to keep using FF w/my current machines, w/as simple a version ,ie., useful for an unsophisticated user.    Is that possible?    If so, I'd like to upgrade to 110 64 bit or perhaps 111 64 bit unless either or both had huge security holes, etc and many users found they weren't very functional.   I do have security software.

Copy paste formatting between seperate windows

When copying text from a website in one Firefox window, and pasting in a separate Fire Fox window, formatting issues occur

  • Running on Windows 10
  • Firefox, windows/tabs not in container
  • Pasting text from Coursera to Notion.so fails to start text on current line and properly format.
  • Works on Microsoft Edge with no issue, so problem is isolated to Firefox

Attaching images for clarification and comparison. (sorry for quality, quick MS.paint job)

  • after further testing, it appears that copying from Coursera in Firefox to Microsoft Edge also has the same formatting issue, so it seems to be a compatibility situation between Firefox copying from Coursera specifically, and not an issue with pasting to Notion.so
  • appreciate the fact that there are multiple third party factors at play, but the issue is killing my productivity so any help is appreciated!

After several attempts, my Firefox shows "up to date" but the version still shows 101.0.0 after several attempts of closing Firefox and after waiting about an hour...it shows downloading update, but still shows version 101.0.1 (64 bit). I have it set to auto update, and this morning it said to click to update; it closed and never reopened until I clicked the icon in my task bar.

.tabbrowser-tab[pinned="true"] { display: none !important;}

All of a sudden, it reverted back

That first image, with the hidden tabs, is actually from Librewolf, with has the identical setting.

Hello:

I must use the magnifier that came with Windows or I cannot read the screen. All was fine until Firefox updated. Now, when I try to use the magnifier, Firefox and all the sites I am using freeze. The entire screen fades out, and an hour glass shows up. But nothing happens after that. I have to go to the task manager and close Firefox, then start it up again.

I checked for Windows updates and everything is current. I am using Windows 10.

How can I fix this?

I have manually installed FF 115.2.1 and know 115.3.0 is available. Using Win10 and FireFox is on a portable USB stick

Attached are a screen shot and the Enterprise Policies.

What am I missing?
