FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.

google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

Does FF have a maximum number of windows / tabs that can be open at one time? I use 12 workspaces each with multiple windows / tabs in them, roughly guessing ~100 windows and ~8-50 tabs per window

FF randomly hangs / crashes 1-3 times a day for me and has been for some time (over multiple revisions of FF; currently 157.0.1) requiring restarting FF

System: Large workstation, 128G memory, i9-7920x (12c / 24T) Linux, OpenSuSE Leap 15.6 FF source from FF repos, not OpenSuSE

Any settings I need to change to prevent the crashes?

Hi Mozilla Support,

I have a question about Firefox VPN and its 50 GB monthly allowance.

I recently came across an unofficial open-source Android client called FoxyVPN (https://github.com/Vauth/FoxyVPN/releases). It appears to use a Mozilla/Firefox account to access the same VPN service, but instead of routing only Firefox traffic, it provides a system-wide VPN tunnel for the Android device.

Could you please clarify whether Mozilla allows users to access the 50 GB monthly Firefox VPN allowance through third-party clients like this, or whether this allowance is intended to be used exclusively through the official Firefox browser?

I’m asking because I want to make sure that using such a client does not violate Mozilla’s terms or the intended use of the service.

Thank you!

To be clear, I am talking about the gaps between UI elements that were present in early mockups as well as in initial versions of Nova before it was enabled by default in 157. I understand they were a controversial design element with many users disliking them for a variety of reasons (preferences, space utilization, ...) but in my view they were really one of the things that made Nova click and I was disappointed when they were axed before the final release.

My question is whether the Firefox team has made a final decision to remove them permanently and completely, or if there is ongoing discussion/work around reintroducing them, perhaps as something that can be enabled or disabled depending on each individual user's preference?

After close and reopen Firefox on Win 11, Dowload Folder displayed on file Save As changes to a different folder, not the one in settings. Repeatedly changed setting back and forth with the same resultl

This is more two minor requests than a question.

1. 1 When you have 2-3 Widgets, it should centre them for better visualisation.
2. 2 It would be nice to add multiple widgets for separate lists
3. 3 Would also be good to sync lists

I wasn't sure if there is a better place to post these suggestions. Happy to repost if someone lets me know the right place.

Thanks, Mike

Whenever I watch videos using Firefox going to Youtube sometimes bugs out like the loading takes forever. Like the video is playing and yet the surrounding of it is just pitched black, and once it load properly the video will stop and the whole site will finally be done loading and goes back playing the video.

I've tried other browser it doesnt seem to be affecting only Firefox can someone looked into this. Cause it definitely not my internet.

I changed my computer's name, so I want it to reflect in all the browsers. Without deleting and setting up the whole thing again, How can this be done economically?

What has happened to Firefox over the past few days? Mine has become almost unusable!

Facebook fails to load (it's a pain having to constantly clear the cache in order to re-sign in). Websites that I use to make hotel bookings fail to proceed past the login stage, online forms fail to show the required information to complete transactions.

All works well on Chrome - but I like the Firefox interface and have been using for many years.

Help!

I have been on Windows 11 for years. While trying to fix a password issue, I learned that Firefox thinks I am on Windows 10 whose support is going away. How can I tell Firefox that I am on Windows 11?

Related issue: Firefox no longer likes my password. It has 8 characters, but only letters and numbers. Things got messed up while trying to fix it, so I am not sure of my password anymore. Apparently Firefox and Mozilla have separate accounts. I don't know which system's password is broken.

It was suggested that I clear cookies and cache. I cannot find the menu to do that. Trying to fix each problem just creates more problems! I need some support to straighten things out.

After a recent update my bookmarks toolbar appears blank. It is shown, but empty. When I go to the bookmarks menu I find all of the bookmarks shown as being on my bookmarks toolbar. How do I get them back where they belong?

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

Regarding FF v157:

- Mozilla have changed the Graphical user interface of Firefox without asking for consent or providing a clear way to revert back to the old interface, yet again. - They have made changes to the settings, so pre-installed search engines can only be toggled off and NOT removed... - There are a bunch of themes now pre-installed that can't be removed.

I think pushing a change without over way to revert, is why I a lot of people don't donate to the Mozilla foundation

up until yesterday I had no issues downloaded data from https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/xamin/ now nothing happens at all
