OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with all the latest Windows updates installed; running Windows version 23H2. Firefox release I'm having problems with: 137.0.2.

Just upgraded to release/version 137.0.2. The first time I open Firefox each day it takes about 2 to 3 minutes for ANY website to load. Sometimes when a web page does eventually load none of the images display.

I have tried same websites using Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge. Websites don't have problems loading using either of those 2 browsers unless I have Firefox open in another window. If they load slowly, as soon as I close Firefox, web page load quickly in Chrome or Msoft Edge.

Not a RAM problem because I typically have around 20% of my RAM being used.

Did not have any of these problems using Firefox version 137.0.1.

UPDATE: Thought maybe it was one of my add-on/extensions so I checked for updates. Four needed updating. Made the updates and website still no loading properly.

My bookmarks and favicons keep disappearing. Yesterday they disappeared, so I rebooted my computer and the bookmarks came back, but not the favicons. I had to click on each bookmark to get the favicon to load, but even that didn't work on each one (and no, I am not going to click on every single bookmark I have, that would be ridiculous!). This has happened several times this month. I was hoping the last update would fix it, but nope, still happening. Currently using 137.0.1

I used to be able to make my own settings in Bing, but since the last update my settings are no longer stored. Each time I change them, when I open a new tab the BIng defaults are used. How do I get Firefox to accept my Bing preferences?

Yesteday, 4/9/25, I did a Microsoft update on my system. As soon as I opened my browser afterward, all the fonts on the toolbars, tabs, menus, search bar,etc. were changed from the font point they were at, to some miniscule, barely seeable size. This is happening to everything above the work screen in Firefox, and my File Explorer. Everything below the search bar line is as it should be. How do I resize all the toolbars etc. to their previous size? Thank you for any relevant assistance.

The sidebar on Firefox seems to have updated with a sidebar that looks different and only allows history searching by date OR site. I regularly access websites quickly through the old sidebar style that allows sorting by date AND site. Is there a way to get this back?

I’m having trouble accessing my Firefox Account. I originally created the account by using “Sign in with Google.” Recently, Firefox started prompting me for a password to log in for sync but I don't remember what it was. When I try to reset the password it doesn’t work because my account is tied to Google sign-in. I’m now stuck and can’t access my account through the browser or sync my data I can simply log into forum or change settings that's it. How can I set a password if I used Google Sign-In to create the account?

Someone tell me is Mozilla trying to destroy Firefox?

Are they trying to get people to move to Edge, Chrome, Safari or Opera?

If they are they are going the right way about it!

I am getting sick to the back teeth of Mozilla forcing their crap down our throats.

I have lost count the number of times I have had to go into about:config to turn off the latest crap FX has forced down our throats over the years.

None of us asked for AI Chatbots which is one of the worst ideas ever invented.

I already had to delete Microsoft CoPilot from my PC last September now I had to do it with FX.

Everybody do this and it works:

Goto address bar and type in about:config, goto the search bar and type chat and where it says browser.ml.chat.enabled change from true to false and you will be rid of those garbage chatbots.

I have done that for every forced you you feature FX has added over the years like Pockets and Screengrab and all the other garbage they have added over the years.
