Firefox.exe task is suspended. I cannot end it with task manager, and I cannot kill it with taskkill. The message i get is as follows:

C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /f /pid 4196 ERROR: The process with PID 4196 could not be terminated. Reason: Access is denied.

Due to this, i cannot completely clean the cache. Please help

Hello,

I am using the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origin ad blocker. About six months ago, I was able to open multiple windows simultaneously without any memory issues. However, recently I’ve noticed that even when I open just a single window, over time, my RAM usage climbs to nearly 98% of my 16GB memory.

I’ve tried restarting my entire computer, but it didn’t help. I also attempted enabling hardware acceleration, but that didn’t resolve the issue either. I’m not sure what else to do and would greatly appreciate your help.

Your browser is incredibly convenient to use, but it’s consuming too many resources, and I’m worried I may have to switch browsers, which I’d hate to do. I moved over from Chrome and was really happy with Firefox.

I often use YouTube videos in multiple tabs, but this was never a problem before. I also tried the trick of adding a new system variable and setting it to 1 (to reduce multi-process operations), but that didn’t make a difference either.

I’d be grateful for any advice you can provide.

Best regards, Dan

Hi, On a particular website that I frequent the grid of a graph being displayed are "fuzzy". When I view the site with Edge, it looks fine. I recently upgraded from v127 to v133 and am now experiencing the issue. I am running on Windows 10 Pro.

Bonsoir,

J'ai plus les onglets internets qui s ouvrent au dessus de ma page mais sur mon onglet épinglé. Comment faire pour y remedier?

Cordialement,

I really like Firefox - I just have to say that up front. I don't want to have to change to another browser, but...

I see articles going back to at least 2020 about CPU usage running up to 100% and multiple processes open that at least double or triple the number of tabs that are open. My recent experience is that this phenomenon is getting worse and I'm wondering if it will ever be resolved, or if I have to look elsewhere.

Thanks

On computer restart or program restart, firefox moves all previous windows from primary monitor to secondary monitor.

Before restart, I usually have 10+ windows open on primary monitor and 1-3 windows open on secondary monitor. After restart, all windows are opened on secondary monitor and I manually move them each to the primary monitor. It seems like they open on primary monitor, but immediately move to the secondary monitor.

If I make each individual window a small window on its corresponding monitor and shut down firefox, the windows will open on the correct monitor on the next restart...but if those windows are minimized, they will open on the wrong monitor on restart.

Is there any way to fix this or automate the window moving process?

Thanks

When I downloaded Firefox again, it gave me a nice option called “VerticalTabs”. I could also see this option in FirefoxLabs, but when I had to delete Firefox due to a bug on my computer, I could no longer see it in FirefoxLabs. Also, FirefoxLabs used to have an artificial intelligence add-on called ChatBot, but now it is gone. What is the reason?

My zip code changes constantly when I sign into accounts such as Costco, Sams, Home Depot. I correct the zip and when I sign out and back in, it's changed again. I had Geek Squad run a diagnostic and they said it's a Firefox issue. When I use MS Edge, the zip code does not change. Can I get help with this issue?

Why are we limited to 12 stock photos to pick from? I understand when this feature just rolled out it was limited, but it's been a while now. When are we going to be able to upload our own images? Also, it'd really be nice incorporate themes like Chrome does where you could pick from something like nature backgrounds that rotate automatically on your new tabs page.

For around a week, I've had issues with Discord Voice Chat on Firefox that I don't believe I've had before the latest update. Whenever I try to connect to Voice Chat, I can see Discord picking up my audio, but I can't hear anything from other people in voice chat nor can they hear me. I can hear sounds and music from Discord itself outside of voice chat.

I believe this is a Firefox issue since I can still access Discord Voice Chat through other browsers like Opera.

I've tried downgrading and it still has the same issue, and also going into troubleshooting mode. Nothing has worked, except for deleting Discord's cache, but that stopped working too.

If anyone needs other details let me know and I can provide it to the best of my abilities, thank you

help me find why I can't open my emails: reagan.com and gmail.com. For awhile I couldn't open anything, but now I'm able to open most sites, but my emails have an hourglass sign next to the title at the top of the tab. What does that mean? I've tried turning off my VPN but that didn't help.

I'm using Firefox on Mac (version 133.0).

When I use cmd+f to search for text on a webpage, if I don't find the term I'm looking for and then switch to another tab and press cmd+f again to look for the same term, Firefox will usually have truncated my search term and now I get a bunch of hits that I don't want and will have to modify the search term back to what I originally entered. Here is an example: say I cmd+f for "apple" and don't get a hit. I then switch to another tab, press cmd+f again and now the search term is no longer "apple" but "appl".

Can I stop this autocorrect type behavior?

Thanks

I have Zen browser all set up on my Mac Studio with two workspaces, nice colors, etc. I also installed it on my Macbook Pro, and I am signed into Mozilla on both computers. When I synced the Macbook Pro, it did seem to sync the bookmarks but that's about it. My workspaces do not show up, and many of the other settings (default font, etc) don't sync either. In the "Zen Browser->Settings" page I checked that all of the different sync categories are checked, including Settings and Workspaces and all the others. I'm unable to figure out how to get everything to sync and I haven't found answers in support or elsewhere on the internet.

This is Zen Browser 1.0.1-a.22 (Firefox 132.0.1) (aarch64) on the alpha update channel, and is the same on both devices. Operating system is Sequoia 15.1.1 on both devices also.

Been using Firefox since the 90s, on macbookAir since 2010s, Firefox is my only preferred browser.

But this glitch has been happening for many years, and I just don't understand why Firefox don't fix it.

I frequently reboot my Firefox (generally by Force Quit, sometimes by quit/X-ing out.

Inevitably, when I reopen Firefox, the previous tabs don't open... that is, until I hit the "trouble resorting pages" button, followed by full restoration of tabs.

Can we just skip the "didn't work" button, and just get it to work?

Hi,

I switched Windows from 10 to 11, reinstalled Firefox and logged in into my Sync account. But none of the bookmarks are importing - I've tried other mail that might be used, but it prompts me to create a new password, so I'm pretty sure I got the right e-mail. How can I check what is stored for my account and how to restore the bookmarks? I forgot to export them to HTML before formatting my C: drive...

For about 2 weeks now, the audio volume on youtube videos fluctuates up and down. The volume starts off low when a person starts to talk. For example, when the person in the video starts to talk, their voice volume is very low then within a second or two, the volume rises to normal as they talk. When they finish a sentence and start a new one (when there is a short pause in the audio) their voice is again at a very low volume, rising to normal in a second or two. This repeats as they speak throughout the entire video. This is not specific to any youtube video or youtube channel, it happens on all youtube videos. I have tried updating all audio drivers in Windows 11 - no improvement. I have tried rebooting the computer - no improvement Firefox is up to date, version 133.0 I have tried watching the same videos using Chrome and I do not have this problem. Any help correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brad
