Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing performance issues while using Mozilla Firefox, especially when working with browser-based tools that handle file processing.

When I try to upload or process larger files (like PDFs), I notice the following:

• Firefox becomes slow or laggy • The tab sometimes freezes temporarily • File processing either takes too long or doesn’t complete • Occasionally I get a “page unresponsive” message

For testing, I used an online tool: [ONLINE EDITOR]

The issue seems more noticeable with larger files or when multiple tabs are open.

What I’ve tried:

• Restarting Firefox • Clearing cache and cookies • Disabling extensions • Testing in Troubleshoot Mode • Updating Firefox to the latest version

The same tasks seem to work slightly better in other browsers, so I’m wondering if this is related to Firefox performance or settings.

Question:

Is there any way to improve Firefox performance for heavy browser-based tasks like file processing? Are there specific settings I should adjust?

Thanks in advance!

is there a way to revert the changes that have been made on ver 149 regarding the scrolling? I'm trying to scroll some really long sites and when I just touch either my magic mouse or my macbook trackpad scrolling jumps to the end. Up to version 148.02 there was no problem. I've check it on 2 machines with macos sequoia and the problem is valid.

I upgraded to a new Surface Pro 12 and now when I launch Firefox it won't open my previous tabs and windows even though I've checked the box "open the previous windows and tabs" under the General/Start Setup. On my previous Surface Pro 3, I never had an issue with this. Am I doing something wrong..? Also when I click on the time in the lower right task bar, it would open the time plus a calendar. Now with the Pro 12 I get the time and a notifications window and no calendar. Is there a way to change Firefox to the way it was on my old Pro 3..?

I just got a new laptop and installed Firefox 149 on it, but I can't get it looking and working like I want it to. It syncs with my desktop Firefox for my bookmarks and history, but the Bookmark Toolbar is in the wrong place, above the address and menu bar.

Most annoying is that I can't see my tabs......I can scroll through them with Ctl-Tab, but I can't see them laid out at the top of the screen, and I can't manually choose or close any tab. My bookmark toolbar looks like where I expect the tabs to be.......I thought that Firefox was automatically opening all the bookmarks in my toolbar into tabs, but if that were the case I would scroll through them with Ctl-Tab, which I cannot. That appears to be the toolbar, not open tabs.

So......the toolbar is above the menu bar, not below it, and my tabs aren't visible. My bookmark toolbar setting is set to "always show",

Man hatte mir eine neue FAssung von firefox eingespielt - firefox VPN. Danach waren meine Passwörter, die Chronik und verschwunden und eine veraltete Lesezeichen-Datei noch vorhanden. Wie komme ich an meine ursprünglichen Daten? Wo liegen diese?

I tried unchecking and rechecking all start settings. When I close Firefox, it asks if I want to close all tabs - the only option is to cancel, leaving Firefox open, or Yes, which would close all my tabs and not reopen the tabs on startup.

My recent history is also missing.

My URLs safeeenergyanalyst.org and safeeenergyanalyst.com do not redirect to https://russlowes.wordpress.com/blog/ on Firefox, but do on Chrome and Edge. I cannot figure this out, and have contacted GoDaddy and they say it is a Firefox issue.

When I click a Google search result link and that link is for lets say a home Depot product, firefox android opens a tab then opens the app. This causes a ton of useless redirect tabs to be left open. I want the apps to open when clicking search results if there is a app to do so. But I don't want the tabs to be left open in Firefox. I've switch to Samsung browser and this doesn't happen. I click the link, the browser makes a tab, then the app opens, then the tab closes. Which is ideal. I've searched and searched and can't seem to figure this out.

Ich habe die Firefox-Einstellungen von einem alten Windows10 Rechner auf den neuen Windows11 PC mit den Profildateien übertragen, hat gut geklappt.. Jetzt hatte ich die Meldung erhalten " der Treiber cpuz419_x64.sys konnte nicht installiert werden wegen möglicher Virus-Gefährdung", als Abhilfe wurde angeboten die Ker-Sicherung auszuschlaten. Das habe ich mir nicht getraut. Als weitere Info erschien eine Seite, auf der "Windows10" unterstrichen war. Könnte das alte Profil dem Rechner vorgaukeln, dass ich Windows 10 nutze?bold text
