I am having a significant issue with firefox draining my battery. I used chrome up until the new year and then switched over to firefox from chrome. Overall I love firefox so much more. The format is way more pleasing. I love how it easily signs me back into everything, BUT IT DRAINS MY COMPUTER SO MUCH. Like i used to have an 8hour + battery span my laptop neverrr died. Now I get through MAX 2 hours of full use before needing to charge, and maybe 4 hours just having it at school but not using it.

I thought my dell suddenly started crashing, ran all these tests, and then I realized the only change was that I had started using Firefox... So sad I think I am going to have to leave it.

I read a lot of articles and did everything suggested. my graphics is webreader , i turned on all the suggested features, i have 2 extensions , the only thing I could maybe think of was that I use an animated theme so maybe that was killing the battery, but like if I can't use my theme than whats the point.

I am having an issue where youtube videos played at higher quality stutter when put to fullscreen. Up till about 720p60 works fine, at 1080p60 and above the framerate becomes unstable.

Things I have tried: - I have tried going into media.media-capabilities.enabled and changing it from false to true - I have set network.buffer.cache.size to 262144 - I have disabled all my plugins - I have tried changing my user agent to windows/chrome

My current setup: Firefox 122.0, Macbook pro Sonoma 14.1, Apple M1 Pro chip

Curiously, if I make a new firefox profile and play a video there, there is no stutter. Does anyone have ideas on how I can fix my current profile?

Upon initial setup, Thunderbird says the ISP is recognized and auto-populates all the settings. Well of course these settings don't work and I'm unable to log in and receive some sort of message saying it didn't work. If I login using a browser via cellphone, I'm provided with the list of settings to use with email clients which is as follows:

Domain: @hot.rr.com SSL: On for SMTP and IMAP Protocol: IMAP Incoming Server: mail.twc.com Incoming Server Port: 993 Outgoing Server: mail.twc.com Outgoing Server Port: 587 Requires Authentication: Yes, or checked

Using these settings in manual configuration results in receiving the "Thunderbird Failed To Find the Settings For Your Email Account" message. The only difference between the settings that were auto-populated and the settings provided by logging in via web browser on a cellphone are the incoming/outgoing servers. Auto-population had them as mobile.charter.net, and they're listed as mail.twc.com by the email provider to use with email clients.

I'm trying to solve this problem for someone else and they happen to have the same email domain as me so I can fiddle with it without having to be at their computer with their passwords, etc. Presumably if I'm able to find the solution it will work for both of us. I don't normally use Thunderbird or any other email client, I just use web based email but they prefer to use a client. However, I'm doubtful that it will work considering the fact that settings provided by the email provider don't work.

Any input is appreciated.

I sent a message a while back about slowness with 115, which I had to download because I had a crash.

There were various suggestions, but no solutions to the excessive slowness with 115. This culminated to day in a long 'no reply' mail which suggested the issue might be the virus checker.....

I checked again the various messages about 115 - most were archived, only one month since they were posted!!

Is there an issue with 115?? I saw a thread which asked was I having issues with it, my answer is yes, is there nobody out there with a suggestion??

I have a very good PC (5800X3D, 7900XT, 32GB DDR4 3600), but Firefox (either the normal, canary and nightly version) can't play smoothly any 4K video (like the Borderlands trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_NKNZljoQ ). 1440 and lower resolutions are fine, as are 4K videos on Chrome and Edge. FWIW, my CPU during 4K playback is barely used (1-2%), and my GPU's video codec (VCE) is used by around a third. Disabling HW accel makes things better, as it still stutters but it's (barely) passable. I already tried creating a new profile, but still it's the same.

I use dark mode (Windows 10 Pro, Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64-bit)). Fresh installation, fresh profile. When I reply to some emails, the reply text is not visible. The examples I saw were with a light (white?) background, but I'm not sure if it also happens with other backgrounds. But it's not all white backgrounds either, some emails with a light background I can reply to just fine.

The reply area can be dark with a dark grey font (slightly different color), or it can be white with a white font. In both cases, obviously the text I type is not readable.

Any idea how to fix this?

Since a couple days ago I cannot Copy anything in Firefox. Be it with CTRL+C or RightClick>copy. I can paste juste fine, and it works on any other app and browser I own. I tried to restart in safe mode (no add-on) but the issue persists. I ended up resetting firefox and it solved the issue... For a couple hours.. then it came back and I can't copy anymore. I did check that I was using the latest version of Firefox windows. I only have two add-ons, but since in safe mode it still doesn't work I'm not sure it's related to that. I also checked that Firefox was allowed in the firewall (I don't know why that would help but a forum said to check that).

Thank you for your assistance:)

It is more and more sites I can not access with Firefox and have to use Edge instead.

Last example, just now

See screens attached

This is just one example, many other sites simply do not open, or open properly, in Firefox

I like to split windows so I can have running YouTube videos on the left half of the screen and browsing the web on the right. If I open another site on the right side of the screen that has multimedia (ESPN, CNN, IMDB), the video freezes on the YouTube window but audio continues to play without issue.

I have done the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Hardware acceleration turned off/on
  • cleared cookies/cache
  • A few About:config fixes

Videos don't have a problem running if I open YouTube with Chrome and continue to use Firefox for surfing.

"Enter Password" box no longer comes up when I start up Thunderbird. One account has password saved but the other doesn't so I cannot access emails on this account now as they won't download without either a saved password or (as I usually do) entering a password. This affects my husband also so not just something on my account. This happened around the 20th December. I've searched through Thunderbird settings but I can't find any way of adding a password directly into Password Manager - only edit or delete. So I can't fix the problem we now both have with accessing new emails. So - any suggestions please or is there a fix coming?, kind regards
