Hi, i'm running a ryzen 5 desktop on Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 with no ssd so it's a little slow to load firefox 152.0.1 (64-bit) after boot. I find that occasionally the tab i am loading timesout, and if i refresh i lose the page. I have a keyboard macro to work around the issue. I lost the code for it, but iirc it works by entering this combo alt-d, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, enter that is to say if I copy the url to the buffer and re-enter it, the page will load, but will not load from the current page.

Firefox ver 152.01 64 bit on win 11 recently very slow to load tabs, and if on you tube very slow to show pictures of the video's, also in Task manager with two tabs open shows 1,154 MB and in the App's section show 14 Firefox open. If I use Edge they open very fast, and & have now stopped using Firefox for this reason. I have been using Firefox for many years without any problems but now not really usable any more, unless this can be fixed. John

Hi! I have been using Firefox for quite some time, and as of yesterday I have encountered a problem. Any site I try to watch video on, be it Twitch, Youtube, etc., the videos now pause every 1-2 seconds to buffer for 4-5 seconds. The progress bar at the bottom of the Youtube videos will say they are loaded well passed the point its stopping to "buffer" at, and this is only occurring on Firefox, I have tested other browsers and am not encountering this issue. Troubleshoot mode also doesn't change anything, and neither does private browsing.

Hello, Seems that after the last update when I go to some websites at times the tab thinks its still loading until I stop it. This is happening on both of my Macbook Pros which are about 6 yrs apart age wise. I kept thinking it would stop doing this but that hasn't happened. Secondary browsers work fine. Open to suggestions. Also some AI usage trackers slowly stopped working but I can't image that's related. Thanks

Firefox 150.0.2 (64-bit)

After rebooting my computer, Firefox hangs for a very long time trying to access common websites such as cnn.com, facebook.com, mozilla.org and apnews.com. A google search will work, but the links (including the google control links at the top such "AI Mode All ... More Tools" are not active. Often there is a message at the botton of the screen indicating some external site is being accessed. During this time, other sites that do not have external references will quickly open in other tabs (bwi.com is a good example). After about 20 minutes, everything magically starts working correctly. Disabling "secure DNS" does not correct this problem.

I use Yahoo as my homepage and access it through Mozilla. Normally it loads in mere seconds. Last night and today it is taking extremely long to load and in some cases it has timed out. When it does load, all the pictures and other features are not included and either don't load or load much later.

I tried to load Yahoo from MIcrosoft Edge and it loaded perfectly. I am assuming there is an issue with Mozilla?

Thanks for looking into this matter and letting me know.

There is a gap between firefox and the frame of the window. There is also a inconsistency at the bottom of the browser where it meets the window. Issue persists in safe-mode and all other firefox channels. Albeit, there is no gap or issue with firefox ESR.
