My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

I often keep many tabs open for research, and Firefox memory usage grows significantly over time. Are there practical settings or habits that help manage memory without sacrificing usability?

I have been dealing with an issue in Firefox on Windows 11 for several weeks now hoping for a fix soon but it has not come yet. When I am browsing on eBay, it will lock up and I have to identify the thread in Task Manger and kill it (just the runaway thread, not the entire program). I can then continue of eBay for a short time before it happens again. This only happens on eBay while just browsing, not bidding/buying. Is anyone else having this issue?

Ever since this month's Windows 10 update I've been having problems with Firefox. I start it, the menu bar and tab comes up, but then nothing. I can't access any web sites. I tried removing the Windows update, then tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, and then messing with the settings. In each case Firefox would work for a couple of days, then I'd have to start it three or four times to get it to work, then it wouldn't work at all. I've been using it for 10 or more years now (four on this computer) and have never had any problems before. I'm loathe to switch to another browser, but if this can't be fixed I won't have any choice. This is what happens when I start the program.

I used to play World of Tank and look at YouTube on my second screen. Everything went smooth untill this week. YouTube on Firefox on my second screen is lagging or freezing. I tried Opera, I tried Edge it worked fine, but with Firefox, it is no more possible to play YouTube on my second screen while playing. It is not a matter of graphic hardware as this issue only happen with Firefox. I tried to deactivate every module and to reinstall Firefox (either the Beta version) but still got the same lagging and freeze on YouTube. Do you need anything that can help you to investigate this issue, this is really terribly frustrating and boring.

Hi everyone,

I run a construction estimating construction estimating website where we share project-based cost estimates and detailed breakdown for contractors, architects

I’ve noticed a weird issue in Firefox lately.

Some of the heavier pages (especially ones with large tables, detailed breakdowns, and embedded content) start getting really slow or sometimes even become unresponsive in Firefox. The same pages load completely fine and smooth in Chrome, so I’m trying to understand what Firefox might be struggling with specifically.

I already tried the basic stuff like clearing cache, testing in private mode, and disabling extensions, but the issue still keeps coming back.

It seems more noticeable on pages with a lot of structured data and embedded elements, so I’m wondering if it could be a rendering, memory, or layout issue on Firefox’s side.

Has anyone dealt with similar performance issues on Firefox with data-heavy or content-heavy web pages?

What should I look into next — layout structure, CSS rendering, JS execution, or something Firefox-specific I might be missing?

Any guidance or debugging tips would be really appreciated.

I have a two monitor setup. Since I installed the new AMD driver (26.1.1), sometimes when I play a game on my main monitor, and watch stream on Twitch in Firefox on my second monitor, it can cause the PC to freeze completely. I hear the sound, but the image is stuck.

I tried to disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox, and it seemed like a good solution. But because of that (which is its function), sites became laggy.

Is this a Firefox, or an AMD issue? Or Windows (I'm on Windows 11 25H2)? I will try to install an older AMD driver, but honestly streams had became laggy before the driver update for me.

We are getting this Random Error while Scrolling. Before Version 141 it was working fine. Even after getting connected and getting response that update to 141.0.2 but same issue still exist.

После включения ПК бывает, что я не могу ввести текст в браузере.(как буд-то включается режим только для чтения, что не позволяет текст ввести). горячие клавиши работают, но текст не вводиться только в браузере. Оно само по себе проходит. Как это исправить?

After latest update Firefox Developer Edition 151.0 Beta 4 I noticed much slower website loading while using few containers at the same time and overall more lag. Before the update everything was great and smooth I hope it's gonna get fixed soon.

Hi I always use Firefox on my Apple I-Mac and it has always been excellent but in the last couple of weeks a window pops up to say that Dashlane is slowing down Firefox when I am trying to type in E-Bay. Not yet seen it in any other situation but it it virtually preventing me listing items for sale on E-Bay. Always have Dashlane open on Firefox whenever I am using Firefox/the internet. Today I reinstalled Firefox but it is still doing it. Help please! Kind regards Jeff Worth

I have used Firefox for years, but now it seems to be having problems with connectivity with both team meetings and zoom. Awful problems with meetings freezing or loss of connectivity.

Sporadically over the past year, a virus warning, purportedly from Apple, has locked my FireFox screen. I must Force Quit to unlock FoxFire. See images. Is this a scam?

I have a new desktop i7 computer with 16 GB of RAM. Why are my Firefox browser screens locking up? I'm running Windows 11 Pro. I don't have this problem with Chrome.

I love Firefox and have used it forever. But its memory usage is killing me lately and I'm seriously reconsidering.... PC, Win11, Intel7, 16GB memory. (I'm typing this from Chrome)

I've updated, restarted, but it keeps maxing out and slowing my computer to a crawl. Somebody please tell me there's a fix pending?
