I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

Delayed tab close on snap since version 140

Hello.

I use Firefox on an computer with Ubuntu, (installed as snap) and have noticed that since the update to version 140 (specifically, version 140.0 canonical-002-1.0), closing a tab causes a noticeable delay : that is, upon any action that would close a tab (clicking on the cross, pressing CTRL+w, or middle clicking), there is a delay of about 200 to 300 ms before the tab is actually closed.

However, during this delay, the window still responds to inputs, leading to rather annoying situations. For example, during regular usage, I usually open a great number of tabs. When I am done with browsing, I close them, by repeatedly clicking the cross button on the tabs. It used to be that the tab under the cursor would immediately close, then the next tab would slide under the cursor, and I would click again to close that one, etc.

But now, when clicking the cross button, the tab is not closed, and when I click again after a small delay (because of muscle memory), the tab is still there. This cause the two single clicks to be treated as a single double-click, which for some reason puts the window in full-screen mode (but only with the snap version; I'm not sure what's going on here).

When using CTRL+w when closing tabs, the delay is still there, but the inputs are correctly handled. If I press CTRL+w three times at the usual rate, I can see the three key presses, then nothing happens for a few instants, then the three tabs close at the same time (i.e. the delay is from input to tab close, not from tab close to other tab close).

This behaviour is completely absent on Firefox (also version 140) on my windows computer.

This delay does not appear when creating tabs, and it does not occur either when closing the window or when closing the last tab in the window (leading to an amusing situation where shutting down Firefox is actually faster then closing a tab). These operation keep going at their previous speed, immeasurably fast to the human eye.

Navigation does not appear to be meaningfully slower than before the update, and the CPU/memory usage is very reasonable.

Curiously, this appears to be a fixed delay. Closing an empty tab takes the same time as closing a very busy one. Closing a tab when there are five takes the same time as closing a tab when there are thirty.

This issue makes browsing feel incredibly sluggish.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

Edit 1 : I have tried to run Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but there was no difference in behaviour. Edit 2 : Fixed typo. Edit 3 : Added exact version. I also tried to refresh Firefox, but the issue remained. Edit 4 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.1 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 5 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.2 canonical-002-1.0.

After recent update, I can not browse any addons. The site https://addons.mozilla.org does not open, shows the connection timed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox deleteting all firefox related files. The problem still persists. Other than this all the using browsing I do are all working fine. Just this extensions I cannot browse. When I click the extension icon by default it shows some extensions, I can Install them. The problem is I can not browse them. Even the recomendation tab is also empty.

Hi everyone,

We’re testing scroll-linked animations on a landing page built with Tailwind and custom JS for our client project hosted at https://noveltyads.com. Specifically, we’re exploring the ViewTimeline API and CSS animation-timeline for a horizontal scroll section.

While everything works smoothly in Chromium-based browsers, we’ve noticed Firefox behaves inconsistently in the following ways:

The animation-timeline: view() property doesn’t always trigger on scroll as expected.

Debugging with Firefox DevTools, the animations don’t appear in the Animation panel at all.

We confirmed that no polyfills or fallbacks are interfering.

This is happening on a custom-built section on this live test page: https://noveltyads.com (it’s a mock client version for internal QA — nothing behind a paywall or login).

Has anyone experienced similar behavior with Firefox’s scroll-driven animations or ViewTimeline implementation?

We’d love to know:

Whether Firefox fully supports ViewTimeline (or still considers it experimental)

Any DevTools flags or settings needed to see scroll animations properly

If there's a better way to ensure cross-browser consistency using native APIs

Thanks a lot for your help and insights!

Hi community,

Since the last Firefox update, I’ve noticed that many websites load as a blank white page on the first attempt. The only way to get the content to appear is by refreshing the page manually (Ctrl+R).

This happens randomly on both static and dynamic websites — sometimes even on Firefox’s own support pages. I’ve already tried:

Clearing cache and cookies

Disabling all extensions

Running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode

But the issue still occurs. No errors in the console either.

Is this a known issue with a recent update? Or could it be related to hardware acceleration, DNS, or caching settings?

Would appreciate any advice or similar experiences!

Second, I just uninstalled Firefox for the second time because of problems with connectivity and installing bookmarks

The first time was a problem with the bookmarks and again I had a problem, not with installing them but installing too many -- each imported bookmark installed seven times!

Also, I was having problems loading pages.

You really think people want to spend days rummaging through FAQs to find an answer? You need to provide some good support if you want to survive.

Hello Firefox Support,

I’m encountering a strange issue with Firefox. While playing YouTube videos at very low quality (144p) just to listen to music, my GPU usage spikes to 100%. This happens even when the video is not fullscreen and there’s minimal visual content.

System Info:

   Firefox Version: 140.0.2 (64-bit)
   Operating System: Windows 11 
   CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (no integrated GPU)
   GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
   GPU Driver Version: AMD Adrenalin 25.6.1 

The issue goes away when I disable hardware acceleration in Firefox settings, but I’d prefer to leave it enabled for better performance elsewhere.

Is this a known issue with AMD GPUs or is there something else I can try to reduce GPU usage during playback?

Thank you for your help.
