Initial performance is good, but over time especially when tabs are opened and closed frequently responsiveness to user input (e.g. tab switching, opening/closing tabs, response to hyperlinks) becomes very slow. After force quitting and restarting, performance is good again for some time. I exclusively use private tabs.

A couple days ago, some weird issues have started:

  • All my bookmarks are gone
  • Any of the buttons in the UI that open a smaller UI do not work (such as the 3 bar menu)
  • Similarly, right clicking to open a menu (such as "Save Image") also does not work
  • Any dropdown menus in websites seem to also not work. For example, in this very support page, I could not select an option in the "Which topic best describes your question?".

I can't restart and troubleshoot Firefox since I can't access the 3 bar menu.

Default to open links in a new Tab Does Not Work

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

Hello, I think I must be getting confused because when I clock on a link, my Pixel automatically opens in Chrome, which is not my default browser (Firefox is). How do I tell my phone to open links etc. in Firefox instead of defaulting to Chrome, even though I already have Firefox set as my default browser?

Thanks! Nancy Yuen

Dear Sir/Madam,

      Have been using Thunderbird since it's inception . I have appreciated the "add-ons" which shrink picture file size in the desktop version. Having used Thunderbird for android for a year now I am most frustrated at the inability to utilise this sort of function on android. An email photograph is so helpful in many situations. Am I missing something or do you intend to implement such a function.
   Kind regards Ian

Edge Suddenly Taking Over (My Beloved Firefox) - MS Edge? BLECH!

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)
