FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.

google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

Are there plans to reintroduce the gaps/islands part of the Nova redesign, perhaps as an option?

To be clear, I am talking about the gaps between UI elements that were present in early mockups as well as in initial versions of Nova before it was enabled by default in 157. I understand they were a controversial design element with many users disliking them for a variety of reasons (preferences, space utilization, ...) but in my view they were really one of the things that made Nova click and I was disappointed when they were axed before the final release.

My question is whether the Firefox team has made a final decision to remove them permanently and completely, or if there is ongoing discussion/work around reintroducing them, perhaps as something that can be enabled or disabled depending on each individual user's preference?

This is more two minor requests than a question.

  1. 1 When you have 2-3 Widgets, it should centre them for better visualisation.
  2. 2 It would be nice to add multiple widgets for separate lists
  3. 3 Would also be good to sync lists

I wasn't sure if there is a better place to post these suggestions. Happy to repost if someone lets me know the right place.

Thanks, Mike

Whenever I watch videos using Firefox going to Youtube sometimes bugs out like the loading takes forever. Like the video is playing and yet the surrounding of it is just pitched black, and once it load properly the video will stop and the whole site will finally be done loading and goes back playing the video.

I have been on Windows 11 for years. While trying to fix a password issue, I learned that Firefox thinks I am on Windows 10 whose support is going away. How can I tell Firefox that I am on Windows 11?

Related issue: Firefox no longer likes my password. It has 8 characters, but only letters and numbers. Things got messed up while trying to fix it, so I am not sure of my password anymore. Apparently Firefox and Mozilla have separate accounts. I don't know which system's password is broken.

It was suggested that I clear cookies and cache. I cannot find the menu to do that. Trying to fix each problem just creates more problems! I need some support to straighten things out.

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

Hello,

You may notice Firefox Settings looks a little different. As part of the refreshed Firefox design, the Settings menu has been reorganized to make it easier to find and understand your options, including how you manage your data.


Your bookmarks, passwords, settings, and browsing data remain unchanged, and no action is needed on your part.


If you don’t see the updated Settings, go to Settings → About Firefox to check that you’re using the latest version of Firefox.

i  hate  the fact that   apps and companies just  make changes and do not ask  their customers   i like it   when  it first began .  i do realo ize you need to  change but   ask first tas ke a poll to see who wants and who does not

How to fix PDF page numbers and remove parentheses

I use Firefox to read a lot of PDFs. Some of the documents have their own internal sections embedded into them. Because of this, Firefox PDF organizes the page numbers in a strange way. Instead of just page 1 through page 112, each section will have its own numbers starting over from 1. Thus, when I try to skip to page 3, it doesn't actually bring me to page 3 of the entire document, it brings me to page 3 of whatever section I'm in.

A large part of my job is digging through documents, and I don't have time to try and figure out which section of the document I'm in. I need page 3 to be the actual page 3. And I refuse to go back to Edge or Adobe.

I know there's a way to fix this in about:config because I've done it before on a previous computer, but I recently got a new computer and all my settings are gone. How to I turn on just regular page numbers in about:config?

Ich weiss nicht, wo ich jetzt noch die Einstellungen ändern kann, damit sich eine PDF Datei nur in Firefox öffnet und nicht automatisch nochmal Acrobat.
