Recently (a week ago? Could be longer and i didnt notice it) the whole system lags and with it comes a bandwith collapse in regular patterns (roughly every 5 seconds) while firefox is open. As the picture are showing, its only while using Firefox. Neither Edge nor Opera has this.
First picture is Nperf speedtest using Firefox. Second one is same test using MS Edge. Last is CMD ping to my router while FF was open.
I already started FF without addons, refreshed it, and also fully uninstalled (including the appdata folders) and reinstalled it, but its still happening.

When does FF Sync actually sync? It's not push for sure

I'm curious what does actually trigger a sync with Firefox Sync? It's not push, I can tell that and it's not time set as well (I waited, and waited, and waited...)... it does sync only when I push 'sync now' and sometimes even then it only acts as if synced but it's not.
A little background: I'm using FF 69.0.1, Build ID: 20190917135527 on a Mac and FF 69.0.2, Build ID: 20191001234643 on a Win machine, both signed in with the same login. I make a bookmark and it doesn't show up on the other machine, not on addition, not after a day, not until I manually hit Sync now on BOTH machines. I don't think it's working as designed...
So my question is, how does sync actually work, if it's neither a scheduled nor a push sync?
Thanks.
PS: it's quite useless the way it works now.

Hello, due to mediocre internet connection, I always liked the option to buffer all the video (pausing it until it ends) to avoid interruption during the view. Initially, Firefox was set to allow this. Around june 2017, one update changed that option, but I was able to set some parameters to still allow the full buffering, following the explanations on that thread: https://support.mozilla.org/tr/questions/1168957
Now, it's not working again, and I presume something has changed in a recent update. Is that one a known issue? Someone has the same problem? Is there another way to allowing the buffering by changing some of the parameters?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Community,
Quite often (more and more these days) I'm receiving MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_INVALID_INTEGER_ENCODING message. Full text message is "An error occurred during a connection to XYZ. The server presented a certificate that contains an invalid encoding of an integer. Common causes include negative serial numbers, negative RSA moduli, and encodings that are longer than necessary."
I've tried searching for this error, but I was unable to figure out what exactly does it means (except that Firefox finds this certificate invalid for some reason), and how to fix/disable this (except for replacing a certificate).
I know this certificate is a self-signed one, but I don't care as it is used in my lab. More important, Chrome or IE or Edge do not report this issue and are allowing me to choose to trust it.
Thanks
Session restore no longer works in 69.0.2

Updated to latest FF. Now session restore no longer works. I have checked, the sessionstore-backups folder for changes. When launching FF the folder is created and recovery.jasonlz4 is created. As tabs are added a recovery.baklz4 is created. When FF is closed, the sessionstore-backups folder disappears and is gone. When FF starts again, the above repeats. So as such when it starts it sees no session restore so it just continues to the default homepage.
How do I get session restore to work properly again?

Release 69.0.2 allows video and audio when I open a new web page even tho the Content Blocking Autoplay setting default is set to block Audio. Previously, audio was blocked as expected. Now I need to block Audio individually for each web page after opening to a blast of sound.
Here is an example of a web page with blocked autoplay with sound which plays with sound when the player is clicked on instead of playing silently as expected with the browser default set to block audio.
This page also has sound, and there is no icon to block it. https://e-edition.dailyherald.com/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=8c4a14e8-f80c-4219-9bf4-89c86e35c8d2

Hello ! I'm using Firefox Developer (70.0b13, but happens on normal version too), and the Twitch streams lags when using resolution above 360p. When using the automatic quality, the stream starts at maximum quality. Then keeps dropping until 360p. Then the lag stops, but won't change back to max bandwidth possible quality. If I manually set the quality to 720 or 1080, the lag continues. Of course, I checked the internet and on another browsers (Brave and Edge Chromium). I can watch at 1080p without problems. I only have uBlock as extension installed. And this is happening for some time (more one week).
Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking whether editing and altering already cached earlier input strings could be possible. I know that the entire cache could just be deleted using "Clear Recent History". But that is not a well-planned option. Some input strings could have as well been simple typos or ill-formed strings. They could in fact be distractions or eyesores. So why not be allowed an option to edit the cached strings? I always do this for my .bash-history file to keep it compact and useful. So I figure there could be a file in firefox to do just that. Well, for a personal computer dedicated to a single user, this could be a good option.

We have an internal company website on Port 1443. Firefox shows an error message that the certificate is not valid for server.domain:1443. It would be only valid for server.domain But the certificate is valid and the issuer is installed as certificate authority. Other browsers like Edge and Internet Explorer trust this website and show no warning. Has someone an idea, what's wrong with the certificate?

Ubuntu 18.04, CUPS2.2.7, Firefox 69.0.2 I use a custom web application that (among other functions) allows the print of labels. The labels are configured to the size of the label printers (3 printers, two label sizes). When I print the labels to a pdf file (print dialogue, "Print to file"), output with correct orientation, size and content is produced. When I print the these labels from a pdf-viewer to the label printers, output is correct. However, when I print directly from Firefox to the label printers, the output is rotated by 90°. Labels from label printing software (glabels) are also printed correctly. On Windows, this is not an issue and printing works directly from Firefox. Apparently, the problem is caused by Firefox, but restricted to Linux (several computers). Any ideas on how to find the problem are appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
