Firefox Community Forum

I used to be able to have all sorts of tabs open for an entire month. Now, I can't keep them open even for a day. It seems to be a problem selective to Youtube (other tabs like Yahoo Mail still work), leaving my Alienware 15R4 laptop fans running really loudly for a few days now, since updates ran (not sure if that's related), and leaving me having to shut down and reboot the browser, daily, instead of once or twice a month. Is there anyone working on getting us back the old Youtube, or replacing Youtube with something like what it used to be? I am running adblock plus and uBlock Origin, should probably turn them off to see if they're related to the problem, huh? I'd hate to start having to use a different browser.

Windows 10 Home V 22H2 Alienware 15R4 Firefox 147.0.3

I have three laptops which are synced. One function I do not want to sync is my individual selection of themes. Every time I change the theme on one, the other two go blank. In my sync settings I sync Settings and Add-ons. Do I need to disable one of these to correct the ongoing problem?

I am switching from firefox to firefox-esr. Version 147.0.3 to 140.7.0esr, start firefox with --allow-downgrade which mostly works. What does not is the "Home default" page, it is blank and can not even be configured to what it was because the settings page is also blank, nothing below "choose what content ...".

I have done this on 4 machines now with same failure for the home page. settings. My previous workaround was new profile and import data so the setting page is therein ESR. This is a far harder than it should be there being no single export-import. I had to export import history with a third party plugin and cookies the only method [I found] was to copy the sqlite file. Others like password export-import are fragmented.

Hi!

I don't understand. Firefox is eating up memory again in the latest versions, and on top of that, it's the GPU on my PC.

4GB for the app and up to 8GB.

Are you mining Bitcoin on my machine?

What are you doing?

Firefox: When printing out - or saving onto PDF - a website, its URL is placed in the footer or the header, depending of the settings. Unfortunately, when the URL is longer than half of the width of the printed page, it is truncated. How to avoid this truncation?

I have a profile that I had copied from my main profile, which is connected to an email and synced. This second profile is unsynced, and it won't let me sign into my account because that account is connected to the main profile. It says I need a separate account for a separate profile. Fair enough. I try to make an account. It says I cannot sign in to the new account because the profile is synced to the old one. Very annoying to be given instructions that don't work. So, I make a new profile and sign in to my new account on it. It works. But now I don't have my bookmarks and passwords. So I find instructions on backing up my account and copy my secondary profile into the new profile with the new account. It logs me out and is now giving me the same error! (the backup was successful though) I don't want to have to copy and paste all of my passwords and things into a new account. Is there any way to make my secondary profile syncable?

Some videos work perfectly fine, however for some videos audio lags behind the video. The same video file perfectly works in Chromium as a control test. Example file is MP4, inside was initially h264 video with AAC audio, for test I re-encoded video to be svt-AV1 with AAC / flac as well - no difference, audio still lags behind. Local players (mpv) and Chromium works perfectly. No plugins which can affect it - for testing disabled them all. I really try hard to like Firefox but this thing is a real bummer. Any ideas what can be causing? P.S. I tested both firefox compiled from source and binary package provided by my distro. Linux system if that matters.

It displays fine in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. My main browser is Firefox. Is there something wrong with my Firefox settings? firefox 147.0.3 64Bit

When I turn off my computer at night I have my bookmarks. But, when I turn it back on in the morningm on the top left I know longer have the option to click on bookmarks because that word isn't showing, anymore. Can I have a phone number at Mozilla to call to get this resolved?

Thank you

When Facebook creates passkey Firefox asks for an USB to be inserted. I have tried to disable USB in the settings ("security.webauth.webauthn_enable_usbtoken","false"). But then Facebook just gets into a retry loop and I can't create the passkey. I use Windows 10, and USB is NOT enabled as an authentication option. I need to fix this as Facebook nags me (in e-mail) to create a passkey.

Why is firefox blocking the paypal popup??? I've tried all the solutions to get it to work, but it still does not work.

Went into Settings/Privacy & Security/Permissions, Block pop-ups and third-party redirects is selected, but I've added http://paypal.com and https://paypal.com to the exceptions

Version 147.0.3 (64-bit) Windows 11, current version No adblocks installed in firefox

Firefox desktop (147) keeps deleting all Bookmarks, passwords and cookies. I sign in and it's fine till I restart windows 11, then all is gone except the titles of the Bookmarks minus ANY data they may have held. Importing B.M.'s works till the process starts again. Cookies are just gone and same with any passwords I may have saved. just seems to happen in Firefox, was never a problem before the end of last DEC.

Why doesn;t Firefox autofill my saved sites and passwords. I cannot find a setting for that. I don't want to go through all my sites to change passwords and don't know if I did would they then work to autofill. bold text

I'm hosting a server locally on my desktop, and created an etc/hosts entry to assign it a URL so that I could use TLS certificates. The URL is `docs.user.localhost` and firefox will not load the page. However, as soon as I change the etc/hosts entry to `docs.user.localsite` or just `docs.user`, everything loads correctly. Is there a setting I need to toggle to allow for loading sites with reserved local TLD's? I've been going through a couple suggested by various sites, but there either already set correctly or don't fix the issue.

When the Global Privacy Control request is checked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) a persistent bubble appears at the bottom of the page indicating the request has been accepted. The bubble is annoying. Is there a way to continue to use this feature without the bubble appearing?

Hi,

Hi All,

I would like to remove the first item from the Tab Context Menu, which is "Add Tab to New Group", and simply have "Reload Tab" as the first menu item.

I was using this code, which worked in FF 145, until the latest update (FF 147)...

#context_openANewTab,
#context_moveTabToNewGroup,
#context_moveTabToGroup,
#context_ungroupTab + menuseparator {
   display: none !important;
}

However, now there is an extra separator line at the top of the menu (see attached images).

This code also removes the top menu item, but still leaves the separator line on top:

#tabContextMenu #context_moveTabToNewGroup {
  display: none !important;
}

Is there a way to remove the first menu item without adding the separator line?

Thanks!
