Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

Hello,

I'm facing an issue where my microphone does not work in Google Meet when using Firefox, even though I’ve granted all necessary permissions. This problem is specific to Firefox, as the microphone works perfectly fine in Google Chrome.

I prefer using Firefox because of its convenient screenshot features, but this microphone issue has caused major inconvenience during important meetings.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Thank you.

I used to have a Pocket icon. Yes, I know it's going away.

I'd like to use the TenTabs icon. Where is it?

And if you tell me it's on the "Customize Toolbar", I can tell you that, no, it is not.

Help?

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

Hi! I recently lost my old laptop and I'm trying to setup my new laptop without a backup. I was logged into my mozilla account on my old browser before I lost it, but I'm not seeing any of my old tabs, bookmarks, and extensions from my old browser syncing to my new browser. Is there anything I can do to retrieve this data without having access to my old laptop? Thank to anyone who can help!

I'm absolutely dying for this feature, it is a lifesaver in Vivaldi and Opera and other browsers, the extension options simply don't work the same as they only work when the website has finished loading and in case I've clicked on the wrong link I have to wait for it to load to go back or lose my train of thought whenever I am using this browser after a while because I'm used to the Rocker Gestures to go back and forward. Please implement this feature into the base browser, thank you very much

Address bar in Firefox 140 doesn't let me select search engines using up and down arrows

Before upgrading to Firefox 140, I would always quickly switch between my default DuckDuckGo and alternative search options, like Wikipedia, using the up and down arrows. I would just type the search term in the address bar and then tap the down key a couple of times before pressing enter if I wanted to use a different search engine.

The new address bar no longer seems to offer this option. I see I can still select alternative search engines using the mouse, but pressing the down key no longer lets me select them.

Is it possible to re-enable this way of quickly switching between search engines using the keyboard?
