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

Cordialement,

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.

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

My computer died about three days ago, and firefox had three windows open. When I rebooted the computer again, firefox automatically started up, and the flyout panel thing that shows up when you right click on an app claimed that all three windows returned. However, only two of them were actually accessible, and clicking on the app to move between them and the F3 window confirmed this. Clicking on the third window accomplishes nothing, reveals nothing, and just moves the little checkmark around in that flyout panel. Closing the other two windows before restarting firefox does not open a new window because it thinks one is already there, but I cannot in any way see or access it outside of its label in the flyout panel. Even hitting "Show All Windows" just shows the window I am typing this in. What am I supposed to do here?

I have a typical search bar at the top of the browser window. Recently, as soon as I begin to type a search, the bar expands to cover the whole top of the browser window. How do I stop this from happening? It's unnecessary and irritating. Firefox 133.0, Win 11

Hello, After a combined Windows and Firefox update, my sidebar panel that I use to access my tabs and other extensions primarily sits behind the webpage itself. I can still see my tab icons, and when I hover over it to expand I can see that it does in fact expand, but the information is displayed behind the current webpage. I've attached a couple images to show what I mean. In the first image it shows how it normally would look, just the tab icons. In the second it shows how it is behind the webpage. You can see the start of the tab names and at the top you can see that it's expanded, as it's covering the previous, next, refresh buttons.

The sidebar extension for the tabs is called Sidebery.

Can anyone help me fix this behavior?

Thanks.

Hello Mozilla Team,

I am encountering an issue in my React project where an <input> tag is used as a child of an SVG element. The input cursor visibility is inconsistent: it shows properly on some screen ratios but disappears on others. This issue appears to be related to how the input and SVG elements are rendered in different viewport sizes and resolutions.

Steps to reproduce:

Create an SVG element and embed an <input> tag within it. Test the behavior on screens with varying resolutions and aspect ratios. Expected Behavior: The input cursor should be consistently visible across all screen ratios and resolutions.

Actual Behavior: The cursor visibility is inconsistent. On certain screen ratios, the cursor either doesn’t show or is misaligned.

This behavior greatly affects the usability of such components, especially in responsive designs. I would appreciate any guidance or a potential fix in future updates to address this rendering inconsistency.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if you need further details or a code example to reproduce the issue.

Best regards, Gyanendra Kumar Dubey

Hi, there are bugs with text selection when using touch. The video below explains. But simply selecting text is really buggy and the bugs happen randomly, long pressing on text sometimes selects text sometimes not, sometimes opens context menus sometimes not. The preferred behavior is to select text and open the context menu at the same time.

Hello, earlier in the day I pressed a keyboard shortcut on accident when picking up my keyboard and has changed google results quite dramatically. I grabbed my keyboard and had a menu pop up on the left side and after i closed it noticed my google results had a scroll bar now. The results page only presents itself on the left half of the screen and a scroll bar has appeared on both the right side, cutting off text, and bottom of the page. These scroll bars only move a tiny bit and are quite unnecessary, but makes scrolling a pain as I have to be sure I am outside the new scroll bar area as they take precedent from the main scroll bar. I have googled Firefox's keyboard shortcuts and haven't found the one i need to fix this. Before I'm asked, no I do not have crazy zoom on and no zooming in does not fix this problem.

When I click submit on a form and switch tabs before it completes processing and return to the tab after the page is not refreshed with the new page returned from the server. However, the action has completed on the server. This only started happening in the last couple of weeks. Note: if I stay on the tab without switching it is fine.

I want to use Firefox on Debian 12, I already use it on Windows 10, but the browser don't redirect from a web page to an application. For example for the authentification: I click to login with google, the app send this to firefox but after that it don't remind to the app.

I would like to take a screenshot of my expanded emails on protonmail.com - but it is not working when when I click "full page" option. Is this possible? I don't want to take screenshots manually by scrolling down the window...

I'm on Developer Edition of Firefox. In previous versions of Firefox (Probably 132), I could share the window just fine, but since an update to either Teams or Firefox, it just results in a blank screen for viewers.

Having a problem with Firefox the last few weeks. I'm on 64-bit version 133. When I go to a web site I get the this message:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.mozilla.org. If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

If I reload the page from the 'Try Again' button or the reload icon in the top menu bar it will start to display. I usually have to reload multiple times for the page to start to load. Sometimes the page loads completely the first time, Sometimes it only loads partially (i.e. only text) or only part of the page loads correctly. I reload a few more times and the page finally loads completely. This makes it very difficult to browse almost any web page. I have Firefox on 3 computers (Windows 7 & 10) and have this problem on all three. I've visited web pages in Edge without problems. Any ideas? Thanks
