Firefox Community Forum

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to request a feature enhancement for Mozilla Firefox that would greatly improve the user experience, especially on lower-end or older hardware.

Currently, whenever I open Firefox after closing it, it takes about 2–3 seconds to launch. In comparison, Microsoft Edge opens almost instantly due to features like Startup Boost and background mode, which allow it to keep essential processes running even when the main window is closed.

I would love to see similar functionality in Firefox — such as:

An optional "Startup Boost" feature to keep Firefox running in the background for faster launching.

A tray icon mode that allows Firefox to stay running in the system tray instead of closing completely.

A setting to allow background updates or session prep on startup/login.

These additions would make Firefox even more competitive in terms of performance and convenience.

Thank you for your continuous efforts in maintaining a privacy-respecting and open-source browser. I truly appreciate your work.

Best regards, RIYYAN AMIR

Some sites I use will not let me use them unless I stop using add blocking. I have not installed an add blocker so I am thinking it must be one in Firefox. Assuming this is true, how can I discontinue the add blocker at a specific site so I can access/read/use its contents. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Ken

Win11 Pro 23H2 up-to-date, just d'ld "Firefox Installer.exe" and tried to run. Box pops up: "Sorry, Firefox can't be installed. This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows IO or newer. Please click the 0K button for additional information." Exactly what does the Firefox installer query to determine the OS version?

Mein Firefox (137.0.2 (64-Bit) auf einem Windows 11-PC) lädt einige Webseiten sehr langsam. Davon betroffen sind Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Google. Andere Seiten wie z.B. youtube, spiegel.de, zdf.de etc. lädt er schnell und ohne Probleme. Cache löschen hilft nicht. Ebenso bringt ein neues Browserprofil nichts.

Whenever I try to resize the fonts using control - and control + keys, only the reading window gets resized leaving the toolbar ribbon and tabs the same size. The real problem is when you open any extension, it also shows in very big fonts which makes doing down to the bottom of the extension window nearly impossible.

Is there any solution to this issue? Please let me know.

A banner appears upper right of screen, stating firefox has 3 notifications (or 1 or 2 etc) but I don't know where to look for them. Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro from 2010 (when they knew how to make things that lasted) with firefox version 115.22.0esr on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (which is apparently the last version I can use as computing has vastly outraced my laptops capacity and we are expected to update everything to catch up with security glitches etc so tough sh*t if everything goes wrong. Welcome to capitalism folks.)

Ahem, but I was saying: where are these notifications and why isn't it obvious?

There is a person with a foreign name registered on my account. There should only be one account. honeybun.2006@yahoo.co.uk. This account was made in 2006 and I still the login for my yahoo account. Please can you remove this other address so I can log into my account. I have tried using my cell number bit no message cone to give me the the code message. I hope you can help. Anna Tice

I have tried to make Firefox my default browser on my Dell laptop dozens of times and it keeps switching back to other browsers. How can I set if so it does not keep changing my default browser from of being Firefox? I have set is as Firefox default and it keeps changing it from Firefox. Many thanks, Alan

I just tried creating a new profile in Nightly, and I received the "Approve sign-in to Firefox" email with a code, twice, but the profile page kept saying that my email bounced or something. Now it's saying it's locked.

Dzień dobry, Dlaczego po zalogowaniu się do swoje poczty nie są wyświetlane ilości wiadomości np w folderze Spam, Kosz itp. A w folderach są wiadomości. Wcześniej nie było takich problemów.

I found the tab groups more annoying than useful, so I went into about:studies and removed it, but doing so just makes a study entirely disappear with no way to bring it back if you misclicked, so that made me wonder, is removing studies permanent? Is it impossible to opt back in once you've opted out of a particular study?

I'm not particularly regretting my choice in this case, but it made me nervous how easy it would be to lose access to a feature just by accidentally clicking the wrong thing.

I'm using firefox in my company's intranet, it needn't to check whether the website is secure or not. So this warning is so annoying.

I want to turn it off, but how? The instructions I searched on the Internet are out of date.

The browser version is 137.0

Before Hackers stole my money out of Navy Federal Credit Union, my cellular phone number was (463) [personal info removed]. That number has been changed to (317) [personal info removed]. Please update my account to reflect my new number.

Thank you kindly.

Power consumption of Firefox is so high that it nearly killed the display of my iMac. My screen started flickering with horizontal lines across the display. When i touched the screen, it was so hot that I could boil water using it. I did not realize that it was Firefox that was killing my PC until I looked at the power consumption (see the attached screenshot). I hope there is a solution to this since I really love Firefox and have been using it for well over a decade.

I use Zen Browser and I feel very satisfied with its features and stability, although there are still shortcomings, but nothing compared to all the advantages. Here I want to ask about how to open zen browser with the same account but both on different laptops and display all both workspace and container tabs with the same settings? if not, then tell me to import from laptop 1 to laptop 2 for zen browser data?
