No icon/display panel anywhere (not showing in Customization of toolbar option either) to see usage, turn on/off, etc.??

Today Firefox has suddenly started using ~20% of my CPU capacity, causing my cooling fan to run high most of the time. Since I had been running Firefox v.149.latest, I tried updating to v.150.0, but that made no difference.
It's not Firefox by itself (only Task Manager open) but whenever I open another tab with almost any website (including this one) that CPU usage spikes. What gives?!
Details: Running under Windows 10 Pro (yes, I have installed the ESU package, good until thi8s fall) on a Lenovo P1 Gen 2. Currently running Firefox inside a Sandboxie Pro v1.17.4 sandbox.

I've just opened one simple Web site (in addition to Mozilla), and already CPU usage sits at about 20%! Please refer to my recent posts here at "Why is Firefox Suddenly Taking Over my CPU?" for the problem description. I'm re-posting simply in hopes that I can "send data" on this one from outside my sandbox. Regards -- jclarkw

For quite some time now, I am unable to sign in to my account at CanadianTire.Ca I get an error. The signon process goes to CustomerAuth.Triangle.Ca for the email and password input. When I click "Sign In" the return message is a yellow triangle followed by the word "undefined" (see attached).
All other browsers I have (Brave, Chrome and Edge) can sign in without issue.
I noticed that other users have the exact same issue. I have tried all solutions I could find. The browser is up to date as of today (150.0.2 64 bit). I tried troubleshoot mode, clearing the cache, deleting cookies, history .... On the web site I turned off ETP for CanadianTire.Ca and CustomerAuth.Triangle.Com.
I have used Firefox since it was v0.93.

I am not a native English speaker, so I used translation. Please excuse any awkward phrasing. I previously updated my Firefox to version 150, but my tabs kept crashing roughly every 5 minutes. To solve this, I tried installing the Firefox ESR version. However, my profile had already been upgraded to the new version format, so ESR could not read my data. I then reinstalled version 150, but now I'm having profile issues again. I can access and launch my old profile through about:profiles, but I can't seem to save it directly as the default profile. I don't want to have to repeat this process every time I restart the browser. Is there a way to transfer all my data (bookmarks, saved passwords, add-ons, settings, etc.) to a new profile that works with the current version? Or, can I downgrade my profile so that ESR can read it? I have tried copying the files from %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles, but it didn't work after many attempts. Please help me. I really don't want to set everything up from scratch again. Thank you!

Hallo,
ich habe regelmäßig das Problem, dass Firefox quasi meinen gesamten Rechner ausser gefecht setzt indem nahezu die gesamte CPU Leistung und der Arbeitsspeicher in Beschlag genommen werden. Ich surfe in der Regel mit sehr vielen Tabs. Ab ca. 100-150 Tabs benötigt Firefox bei mir zwischenzeitlich 10 GB Arbeitsspeicher und mehr und benutzt die CPU zu 80-90% sodass der Rechner teilweise kurzzeitig nicht mehr reagiert und einfriert. Besonders, wenn ich 100 Tabs und mehr auf einmal als Lesezeichen speichere (Tabs auch nur schließen, da der CPU Lüfter schon dauerhaft auf 100% läuft), friert der Rechner danach erstmal für 3-4 Minuten ein. Ich verstehe nicht, was Firefox die ganze Zeit im Hintergrund anstellt, während z.B. 250 Tabs geöffnet sind. Tabs vorzuladen macht bei der Anzahl keinen Sinn und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass man richtig voraussehen könnte, welchen Tab ich als nächste wieder aufrufe und dieser dann schon vorgeladen ist, ist eher gering. Gibt es Möglichkeiten z.B.: - den zur Zeit verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher sofort zu leeren, ohne einen Tab zu verlieren oder dass Firefox geschlossen wird? - dass es dann längert dauert, wenn ich einen Tab anklicke, da dieser ja nicht mehr im Cache ist, und erst wieder in den Arbeitsspeicher geladen werden muss, ist selbstverständlich und vollkommen in Ordnung. - Kann man irgendwo einstellen, wie viele Tabs z.B. im Hintergrund aktiv sein dürfen? - Kann man den zu verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher begrenzen? - und was passiert, wenn die Grenze erreicht wird? - Kann man irgendwo an den Zeiten oder ähnlichem schrauben, wonach Tabs automatisch entladen werden? Chrome friert Tabs scheinbar automatisch ein, zu mindest ist die performance dort besser.
Es bringt ja nichts, wenn alles versuche wird im RAM vorzuhalten, damit es sofort da ist, wenn der ganze Rechner damit in die Knie gezwungen wird und am Ende das gesamte System nicht mehr zu bedienen ist. Vor einigen Jahren ist Firefox bei zu vielen Tabs oft abgestürzt, dann hat sich schon gebessert.
Es fehlt mir an Einstellungen zur Anpassung, was Firefox im Hintergrund vorhalt und was Tabs machen dürfen, wenn sie nicht aktiv bedient bzw. benutzt werden. Manuelles "entladen" kommt für mich nicht in Frage, da es zu aufwändig ist, bei extremen "Multitabbing".
Ich bin seit meiner Kindeheit begeisterter Mozilla Fan (seit Gründung von Mozilla) und verteidige und empfehle Firefox wo ich nur kann. Aber dieses Performanceproblem besteht schon sehr lange, ist zwar über die letzten Jahre besser geworden, dennoch zwingt es mich schon fast, nach einer Alternative zu suchen.
Generell fehlen viele Funktionen für Extrem-Multi-Tab-Benutzer wie z.B., dass man Tabs in der Leiste markieren oder sortieren kann. Ein großer Segen wäre eine Funktion, dass Tabs, die man bereits als Lesezeichen gespeichert hat oder doppelt geöffnete Tab, direkt zu erkennen sind, ohne dass man den Tab aufruft. Aber andere Thema. Ich benutze auch keine vertikale Tableiste, nur die horizontale klassische Leiste oben am Bildschirmrand.
Ich wäre sehr Dankbar über Tips zur Lösung des Problem mit dem Arbeitsspeicher.
Grüße

Since the last update, I am gettin constant pop ups. I have the blocker turned on. I do have some websites exempted, but I did not make any changes. I get the pop ups all the time now. I used to be able to change the pop up settings on the search bar, but I don't see that anymore.
I have been using Firefox for years, but may have to switch back to Safari if this cannont be resolved.

Hi:
I am so tired of all these videos and ads popping up on edge and Opera. I also added an ad blocker. Will that work on Firefox?

Dear Firefox friends, I am rather computer illiterate and use the internet only for emails and purchasing from Amazon. I have avoided installing Firefox updates, as they disable my sound and change language to Albanian, where I live, but don’t speak Albanian. Can you solve this, or will I have to just avoid installing updates? I have no concern for security; anyone can hack into anything they want, but it will do them no good; I don’t have anything that is sensitive, and my bank has everything well secured (and minimal funds anyway). Do you have a permanent solution – I don’t want to fix every update? I know you hate non-nerds like me, but I'm 80, and have neither the time nor inclination to be one!!!! Thanks, and have a great day,

When I launch Firefox, several recent bookmarks that had been at the bottom of a folder have moved to the top of the folder.

I'd like to try the new Firefox VPN, but I can't find the icon to turn it on, not even when I customise the toolbar. I searched several times. I know the VPN is available in my region (the Firefox browsers at work all have the VPN icon), but once I enter my email and password for my Mozilla Firefox account, the icon disappears. What should I do?
Thank you in advance!

I am trying to listen to programs on pbsfm.org.au, a radio station. The livestream works but I am unable to listen to the saved programs. The Pbsfm website tells me to enable location sharing. However, pbsfm.org.au is not listed in my Firefox settings in the list of websites that have asked for my location, so I am unable to allow it through this list. I am attaching a screenshot of the program I am trying to listen to.
