When saving images from websites using the save image as feature, Firefox will freeze up and not register any mouse click or anything instead making a ding noise every time is register a mouse click. This will continue for like 30 seconds before it becomes normal then it will repeat this for every image. How can I solve this?

None of the above; I am a dynasaur at computers and printers. I just want to send the email I have typed on my p.c. then IF POSSIBLE I would like to print it off. Thank you.

Mozilla please make a browser that has the proton/photon like firefox 89 please i need it Btw you also ruined the firefox layout floating tab what we really need is a secure browser with no bloat and open-sorsorce

The Help is recommending clearing the startup cache, but I don't know what that is so I can't decide if it's something I want to do. Is it the same place that stores all my cookies and other saved material, or is it something different? If it's different, what does it store and why would clearing it be useful?

I get a message "We Encountered an Error" Please restart your application to try again. It continues to pop up (only when I'm in Firefox) and I click the button "close" and can continue until it pops up again. This just started today. Is there anyway to get this to stop?

Whenever I load Firefox, for the first minute or so, or the first X attempts at loading (any) website, I just get "Can't connect to server" errors. Eventually it does connect and then has no more issues, unless I close the browser and open a new one, then the process begins again.

New Alienware laptop with a fresh windows 11 install.

Other browsers are working fine, this is isolated to this browser, on this device only.

Things I have tried:

All the suggestions in the connectivity help section Uninstalling Firefox > Deleting my profile data from laptop > Cleaning registry > Deleting anything else that searching for "mozilla" turned up > Clean install without logging into any profile or enabling sync or importing anything (somehow still knows there was a previous install though, just doesn't import anything)

Still the same results.

I've used Firefox for probably a decade now and I am truly loathed to have to move to Chrome, but if I can't find a solution this is just untenable. Any help would be much appreciated!

I keep constantly crashing, multiple times. Here are my latest crash IDs:

I just purchased a year subscription for the Mozilla VPN. I want to be able to verify that the FireFox browser I'm using is accessing the web via the VPN. How do I verify that? I don't see any icon indicated that it's a VPN connection.

Have a new modem/router (Assis G34). Only getting 57.2 mps download and 9.6 mps upload. In trying to go to a website, it times out.

Tried Microsoft Edge. It worked OK when I wasn't using Firefox at the same time.

Planning to get a range extender. Is that the solution?

I have a question (speculation) about having several Firefox based browsers installed on my Windows 64 PC.

I have a Windows 10, 64 Bit PC with 64 Gigs of RAM. I've always had a habit of installing several versions of Firefox based browsers - all to no avail. However, as of recent, I'm finding that my browsers begin to slow down substantially after 15 minutes or so of browsing - please read on.

Right now, I have the following 64 Bit Firefox based browsers installed on my PC - they are:

Firefox Waterfox Floorp Librewolf

I have quite a large amount of bookmarks saved, and I make sure all browsers have the same bookmarks.

I have a half dozen or so of add-ons, and have tried - from time to time - to uninstall various add-ons to see if they were the cause of the slow downs, but none of that made a difference.

For example, let's say I'm browsing for 15-30 minutes or so, and have a half dozen different tabs brought up. After awhile, things begin to slow down substantially such as delays in clicking on links and having it respond, or right clicking, etc. Browsing speeds slow down substantially also.

Here is what I then usually do:

1. Create a new tab and type in "about:memory" and click on the save memory command.

2. Go into settings and delete cache.

This normally does nothing to speed up things, and I find I have to just close out the browser, wait a few seconds, and bring it back up to things to get back to normal.

This has me speculating - "Could" it be that having a variety of Firefox based browsers with similar data conflict with each other in some strange sort of way" Or is it something else? I know that having a bunch of tabs up can deplete memory usage, but as I mentioned above, I have 64 Gigs of RAM and never had this issue before.

My SSD drive has 500 Gigs of storage, and only half is being used.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be truly appreciated.
