I am running Firefox ver. 131. The program constantly increases the amount of memory it uses. Task manager shows 14 processes running under Firefox, it also shows a green leaf Efficiency icon next to it. I am using an HP Victus laptop with a Ryzen 5 cpu and 8 Gb of ram. The program will continue to use more memory until it locks up the system and I have to use Task Manager to restart . I don't know how to solve this. It is a new development which may be associated with the 131 update. Please help.

Hello,

I have discovered a reproducible issue pertaining to audio and video desyncing that I have tested on youtube, prime video, and netflix.

I am utilizing Windows 11 Home on an HP Envy Laptop. The bluetooth audio device I am using are the Galaxy Buds FE.

Audio desyncs from video playback when pausing a video (either by clicking pause, using the keyboard to press pause, or by pausing using the earbud touchpad). I noticed that with my desktop computer and my Samsung S22 Ultra phone, when pausing and unpausing a video, the video player has a brief buffering period to auto-sync the audio to the video; however, this is not occurring with the laptop and it causes the audio and video to desync.

Any help you could provide with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I cannot upload files to any website. For example if I hit add attachment to an email which is open on Mozilla nothing happens. It's the same if I try to upload a resume or a photo for example. I can drag and drop files to upload but some websites don't have that option. I have disabled the pop up blocker and nothing changed. It was the same when I was using chrome and I transferred the data and settings over. Could someone please advise?

I just updated Firefox on my Mac. Subsequently when I tried to restart Firefox the OS thinks a copy is already running in a display and closes startup request down. I am unable to use Firefox at all at the moment. Can this be fixed? Cheers John Spitzer

Is it normal that Firefox is trying to load the dll related to the Windows Credential Manager (vaultcli.dll)

"firefox.exe loaded module vaultcli.dll"

If so, what's the purpose of this interaction?

From the looks of it, Firefox is trying to access locally stored credentials using the Credentials Management API.

Hi - after a Firefox update today, I no longer seem to be able to access a sign-in page for any of my Google accounts. When I try to log into Google, I'm just brought to a page that says "clear cache and cookies." I've cleared my cache multiple times, restarted Firefox, run troubleshoot mode, restarted my computer - none of this has helped. Every time I try to go to a page to sign into any Google app - Drive, Gmail, etc. - I get taken to the same "Google Help Center" page telling me to clear cache and cookies. When I click on the "sign in" button in the corner of this page, it just brings me back to the same help page.

My Google accounts aren't the problem because I can access them from Chrome or Safari. But I don't want to use Chrome or Safari!

I've never encountered anything like this before. Help?

Firefox keeps rerouting any attempt to be brought to the google sign-in page, sending me to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en . Even on the page itself, where the sign-in button is evident, it reroutes to itself on click.

This is only occurring on Firefox, and very specifically in the normal browser. The private browser works perfectly fine, Edge works fine, etc. This issue persists in Troubleshoot mode.

For the past month or so, when I'm on google.com, using the search bar on the page does not work with Firefox. If I use the URL area on the browser, it does work. I don't have any ad blockers.

fellas my Firefox extensions wont show the drop down menu anymore it just opens a new page/tab. but on my laptop i can select the extensions for example i can open a new container with the container extension on my laptop but not on my PC

I worked for a lot of time of some splendid webgl animation on a laptop gbl file in threejs that renders a video on screen texture and it worked fine untill firefox did some updates and videos in laptop screen is glitchy, if i disable hardware acceleration it works, BUT firefox comes with it enabled by default and when clients come into my page see that ugly effect of the video, AND no there is not video drivers problem, my drivers are the latest and i tryed on different devices same thing, i thought that there are some problems with my domain checked and triple checked and no, with an older version of firefox it works perfectly, i tryed looking on other people webgl with video on it to see maybe i have a problem on my code and its same thing, no cors problems, drivers, or how video is coded, i loved firefox im using it for years but now i hate it so much cause it ruined months of work

How come when you add some features in firefox updates, they are not removable for me?!? I am talking about the "extensions" tab and the "list all tabs". Some people might want them for their use but I dont. I should have the option to remove them at my leisure. I dont like this at all that I cant make that decision. Please fix. Thank you.

Dear All,

I need to uninstall Firefox silently from several computers, due to company restrictions. Uninstall must be silent (automatic), because I push the uninstall from Microsoft InTune.

At this stage, using "-ms" or "/S", I can bypass the normal uninstaller prompt, but I still get a Windows warning (from User Access Control), asking autorisation to perform changes on the device.

Can I bypass this prompt as well, so that the uninstall is indeed automatic and silent?

Alternatively do you know of means to modify this at Windows level?

Many thanks!

I want to be able to view inline PDFs in the browser, and download PDFs sent as attachments, without opening them in Firefox. I've searched the forum, tried different combinations of download settings and toggling `browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline` but no dice, either Firefox downloads every file (inline or attached), or it opens the local file in the browser.

I respect that the PDF viewer in Firefox is great, and I want to keep using it when I choose. Right now, I have a download progress that pops up, then the browser becomes unresponsive and switches to the new tab, which is disrupting.

Seems simple but how can I have the following behaviour? - Inline PDF -> view in browser - Attachment -> download without opening in browser

I try to sync FF between a laptop and a desktop. Everytime I login and approve via email code I get the question to sync my mobile and the account icon gets a yellow triangle.

How do I sync between a laptop and a desktop properly?

I followed 5x the instructions that came with "please sign in to reconnect " but it just offers mobile sync and throws the browser out of the account again..

I can't use Google sign-in on any platform with Firefox. When the pop-up opens on the browser, it automatically redirects to this help article. Video games, websites, anything that I usually sign in with Google is having this problem, Chrome works fine. I have cleared my cache, browsing data, and reinstalled Firefox.
