In "manage profiles" I see where to delete the extra profile that was created and I don't want. Thanks to Cetaseus1. my question is does deleting a profile delete all the bookmarks? there is an info box that warns that bookmarks will be deleted including my 30,000+ bookmarks that were rolled over to this unwanted profile that just appeared. My intent is to have one remaining profile and all my bookmarks. I am hesitant to delete a profile and loose all those bookmarks. I won't delete until Mozilla assures me that I won't lose the bookmarks in the other profile. Thanks.

I despise ai in every use and way with a passion. Now, it gets spammed everywhere on this browser, with no apparent way to disable and/or remove that filth. I don't want to see it, ever! Why is it even on by default??? I don't want "chatbots", "Ai assistants" or any of that shit at all.

Even with just 1 tab open, Firefox is killing my laptop battery.

Win 11 PC laptop.

In background, it is using 40% to 50% of the laptop battery. I need much better performance from it. I have already turned off any settings I can find regarding Firefox's background functions. When I quit Firefox I want it completely off.

How can I do that?

I once signed up for a stock service, which included a daily popup. When I found I did not need/want it, I discontinued the service and deleted all of the related files. But the daily popup still remains and occurs. When I contacted the service they said it was something still attached to the browser but could not tell me how to find it or remove it. I have looked at everything I could think of but cannot find any reference to 'Weiss' (service name) or any name anywhere within Firefox. What am I missing? Many thanks Jim Bigger

Question about translation packages to translate websites

Hello,

support.mozilla.org/kb/website-translation says, when you do not have downloaded translation packs, parts of the packs will be downloaded when you first use the translation function.

My questions about this feature: - How does this work exactly? - Will the words from the website which i try to translate be collected and "downloaded"? - How are the translation language packs parted? - What information will be used and sent to servers/cloud to request these parts of the translation packs?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards

Bjoern

Slow loading on pages that have resourses that do not reply or are slow.

When loading some pages, after the latest update to Firefox, I noticed that many websites started, loading slowly or waiting for other content requested by scripts to time out before continuing to load the content of the page. Some taking 20-100 seconds to throw an http error/timeout in the network tab. I even tried it having all my extensions disabled, vanilla FireFox and I still have the above issue.

The only fix I have now is using uBlock or some other plugin to block the url's of resources that are not loading or have been timing out. One such website/url being cdn.cookielaw.org has been the worst making it seem like some websites were straight up broken and unable to load.

Anyway I have fixed this issue by doing the above and blocking the urls of content that doesn't load but I don't think this is intended behavior as I can't reproduce it on other browsers besides FireFox.
