I can't find anything on how to make the tabs on FireFox look similar to Sublime Text's tabs with userChrome.css. I suck at CSS and can't find anything other than rounded or curvy tabs.

This seems to have happened over several updates, so I can't pin point a particular update, and the problem has gotten worse (or at least affected more things) as time has gone on. I thought it might be related to uploading tabs when memory utilization has gotten high, but I have this problem on my system with 96GB of RAM, and I've happens even when I'm using under 48GB of memory and I've tried disabling tab unloading with no change.

The problem I've been seeing first started with Skype web. I'd walk away from my PC, and when I get back to it (monitor is asleep, but PC still running) after I wake up the monitor Skype would start playing messages it appeared to have cached while I was away. It would load up this messages one at a time, complete with notifications, one every couple of seconds. If I'd been away for a while and had gotten several messages it could take several minutes to catch up with where Skype is "current" and usually take so long I end up just reloading the page and so I get the current state without waiting for FF to play through all the messages.

I then started noticing the problem with OctoPrint, similar thing I'll have it up monitoring a print and I'll walk away from the PC and then come back, and same thing, it has to "play" through all the updates that happened while I was way from the PC, again sometimes taking several minutes for it to catch up with the current state for OctoPrint (this is usually visible by watching the temperature graph try and draw updates to catch up with where the printer actually is. During this time OctoPrint is completely unresponsive, so I'm unable to do things like cancel and print or change tabs to look at say the web cam. Again I'm usually forced to just reload the page to get the current state of OctoPrint instead of waiting minutes for it to catch up.

Then recently it's started doing the same thing with Pushbullet, instead of sending notifications as they come if I'm away from the PC, it just caches them when I wake the screen back up. And again, it sits there and plays them, one at a time, every couple seconds, every, last, message, that, came, while, I, was, away, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I'm no longer getting multiple notifications at a time, they come through individually and it drives me insane (at sometimes delays notifications as even when I'm using the PC it no longer delivers notifications if I'm not actively using FF).

I assume it's some change to help make FF less memory intensive (which is why I first started looking at Tab Unloading) but I haven't had any luck finding out what's causing the issue, so trying to Google for a solution hasn't yielded any results (cause I'm not really sure what I'm looking for).

It's making using FireFox for "live" pages like message apps and OctoPrint, and notification syncing via Pushbullet unsustainable.

Thanks.

Hi, I dont recall setting up 2fa on my main account however this is active as such I am unable to get to my main account - this is generally not an issue as I could use this one however I am the developer of the boomi platform extension to which I need access so that I can provide updates etc.

Could I please get some assistance as to how to resolve this? Ta Mitch

Hi all -

Lately as part of organizing my life I have had two Firefox windows open, a work one and a personal one.

If I switch back and forth fairly frequently, things seem to function alright. But if I spend too many days only in the "work" window, I lose the ability to use the "personal" window (or vice versa). I can see it and click on it in the "Window" menu, but then nothing happens.

I tried Bookmarking All Tabs to see if I could close Firefox and then re-open the window using the bookmarks, but no functionality appears to be accessible for that window. If I restart Firefox once it will dutifully reopen the ghost window (ie. I can see it in the Windows menu but not access it). Restarting windows again loses the window completely.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is the only solution just to keep "checking in" on the other window, even if I'm only using one of them for a few days?

Thanks in advance, K

I've been trying to log into booksy.com with Firefox 112.0.2 and it gets stuck at the email entry screen (see screenshot). I've tried creating a clean browser profile and logging in, which appeared to work the first time but not after closing and re-opening that browser profile. So it doesn't seem related to any addons or other browser configuration changes I've made. I've also tried logging in on my other laptop running Firefox 112.0.1 and sometimes I can reproduce and sometimes I can't, it's highly unusual and very confusing.

I work for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and we are responsible for keeping track of our work hours. I have always been able to log into the government website to enter my work hours until recently. Now, when I try to log into the site to enter my work hours, I get this message, "custom javascript error ell is null". When I click the OK button the site wont load. What happened?
