Why does your Browser use up so much of my CPU & have all these unknown processes going without my knowledge??? It's slowing & unnecessarily overheating my gaming laptop! What can I do 2 kill all ths extra, unwarranted activity of your Browser?!? Plz help!?

I have Firefox open. When I click on a link in Thunderbird instead of opening the page in the open Firefox window, it opens a second Firefox window? This just started happening and I don't know what I might have done to cause it. Using Windows 8.1.

Video on https://www.abbeyroad.com/Crossing is suddenly unable to be played after to last Firefox update!! This has happened several times in the past but after 2 or 3 days it suddenly will start working again!!! It's been over a week this time and no resolution yet! Note following LARGE ROTATING X is: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." Same note as in the past but eventually disappears and video works just fine. The video is a live shot of the Abbey Studio's Crosswalk (ie, the one shown on the cover of a Beetles Album years ago).

I have Firefox set to ask me where to download files that I want to download. It works for normal download links, but when I'm using my credit card company site's PDF viewer to look at a statement and I click on the download icon or link in the upper-left, it simply downloads the PDF (to my chosen "Save files to" folder in Settings). Is there a current way to change this behavior? Is this something that the website's code determines, overriding my Firefox setting?

Honestly I don't have a clue as to where to look to resolve this sudden issue because I've never seen it before. While testing a simple single page static web site firefox keeps loading the same page into a new tab and a rate that I cannot keep up with. In a few short minutes there are hundreds of tabs open each with the same page. I've tried cancelling Firefox, rebooted my system, even removed and reinstalled firefox all to no avail (using Linux Mint). What's interesting is that all other browsers I try do NOT do this. They all work just fine. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions as to what might cause this and/or where to look to diagnose? Thanks in advance.

Reopening https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1412054

As you can see from https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/577 this issue is caused by Mozilla not caused by Linux Mint as accused in questions/1412054

Can you be honest and address this?

WILL YOU STOP THAT PATRONISING "HMM, WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THAT SITE" MESSAGE NOW

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT SHOULD SIMPLY SAY " NO INTERNET CONNECTION" IT IS INFURIATING.

DO IT NOW OR I WILL KILL MYSELF.

I am suddenly getting the following error message: "We recommend you use a different browser or disable the “EasyList Cookie” filter from your “Content Filtering” settings (found under “Settings” -> “Shields” in the Brave Browser)." Firefox is now unusable. I have searched "Settings" and can find nothing about "Content Filtering," "Shields," or "Brave Browser." Can you tell me what is going on here?

I have installed Mozilla Firefox 120.0.1 on Ubuntu 22.0.4 server as a root user and can launch but when I login into another user the browser gives me the error message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"

Please help me how enable Firefox browser for all Linux users

You somehow have old, outdated information in your system. Your new browser requires me to log into a facebook account I closed 10 years ago. My password for my current account named, "VangiePangie", now opens a closed account named "Evangeline Custis". I no longer have access to my VangiePangie account with any password. So, I no longer want this new upgraded Firefox account. I want to have my old Firefox account as a default on my desktop. Right now it's an icon at the bottom of the screen, and I can only use it to open one thing at a time. Please give me back my old Firefox browser. I'll struggle with Facebook to get my password to work on my VangiePangie account. I have access to the VangiePangie account right now, because it was never logged out in my old Firefox browser and is in my Bookmarks. But if I am forced to log out, or if Facebook does a security check, I won't have access ever again. Please help me with this. Below is my VangiePangie Profile pic.

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with CSS styling on Mozilla Firefox.

I have implemented the following CSS properties on my website to achieve a zoom effect: body {

    zoom: 70%;

} but it is not supported by Firefox.

I tried this approach: body{

 transform: scale(0.7);
 transform-origin: 0 0;

}

While this approach is supported by Firefox, I am experiencing an unexpected behavior. Instead of a smooth zoom effect, the entire website is zoomed out, and the content is shifted to the left, leaving the right side blank with a white space.

I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

I have tried various alternatives, including using the zoom property, but it seems that Firefox does not support it. I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue and ensuring a consistent and smooth zoom effect across different browsers, including Firefox.

Your guidance and support in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there are any workarounds or best practices to achieve a zoom effect without causing layout distortions, I would be eager to learn about them.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

I recently performed a system reset and upon re downloading Firefox I can't seem to find any of my 50+ tabs that I had open previously, all of them I need for one reason or another, history is empty, can anyone please help explain how to get them back in simple steps?

Recently I´ve encountered problems with (mostly) accessing nba.com. I don´t get the resultbar. Today klicking on one of the menue items (Schedule) Firefix refused to load the page claiming "Not safe". As you can see I´ve accessed the page a number of times. /Leif Arvidsson

I had set up my homepage on Firefox as "currently.att.yahoo.com". All of a sudden I can't get that site. When I try I get a message indicating the site isn't available in China. Why is this happening and how do I fix it. A step by step way to cure this would be appreciated. Please reply to aulonz2021@att.net my aulonz2019@att.net address is on Yahoo and I can't get there. I use the Yahoo homepage for most of my browsing and I am really upset that I can't get there!

When printing a page to PDF, with headers & footers, the default setup shows the date in right footer. However this date format is in (for me) awkward US format . Is there a way to show the date according to system regional short date & time ?

info: OS: windows 10 pro

 date format: YYYY-MM-DD
 time format: hh:mm (24-hr)

FF: 120.0.1 (latest to date) FF about:config -> print.print_footerright = &D FF &D format: MM/D/YYYY, h:mm PM (12-hr)
