Firefox memorizes userIDs and I do not see an option to stop it from doing so. Is there an option?

Keep in mind that passwords are not limited to the password entry. Every entry in a sign-in process is an opportunity for a password. For example, the answer to "What street did you grow up on?" could be "Beatlejoice". Similarly, the answer to "What was your mother's middle name?" could be "Aardvark". Nonsensical answers to security questions are more secure than truthful answers.

Again, in the interest of security, is there an option to stop firefox from remembering so much?

v148, Win 10

The site froze while playing a video. It happened multiple times. Is anyone else reporting this kind of behavior on Instagram. I closed the tab, but cpu stress-like side effects remained for a while.

I like to use picture-in-picture mode to watch a YouTube video in the corner of my screen while editing an image or playing an online game (since I like having something to keep my brain active while I'm doing something). Recently, however, this has resulted in my computer locking up. I don't really know how to describe it succinctly, but audio becomes super stuttery and it takes a second or more to render a single frame. Last night this resulted in the loss of an in-progress image (don't worry, I took photos of my screen so I could recreate the image), so I want to figure out how to stop this.

Just to cover my bases, here's my specs:

Device name LAPTOP-AI6N0TEJ Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1215U (1.20 GHz) Installed RAM 40.0 GB (39.7 GB usable) Device ID BDD80B46-B5E1-4B25-9FA0-3F833BD30C05 Product ID 00356-07436-33870-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Edition Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 Installed on 11/7/2025 OS build 26200.7840 Serial number PF4RQKQJ Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.291.0 Manufacturer Lenovo

I use Stockhouse.com as a homepage and when I opened my computer this a.m. the site came up and it asked me to sign in which it normally does these days and I click on sign in and it shows my email and password and I click again and I'm signed in. This morning it asked me to provide my email address and password i.e. fill in the blanks. It has not done that for at least 15 - 20 years. Not remembering offhand what my password was I clicked on the 3 line application tab in the top right hand of my screen and brought up the list which includes "Passwords". I clicked on the password file and it is blank. It has never been blank before -- did Mozilla/Firefox make a change that would make my password file disappear?

All of the sudden can't use Hotmail through Firefox I have tried clearing cache, making sure clocks are correct etc.

This is the error page that I get. How can I fix?

Why am I getting the message "this website is slowing your computer." Windows OS. Firefox is my Browser. One specific website that creates this problem is

wordfm.com

a local radio station that I listen to on terrestrial radio and go to if I want to follow up on particular story or program. I usually need to turn my computer off because I cannot navigate the site or open or close it.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Please email to [edited email from community support forum].

After i installed firefox net jitter somehow appeared in my cs2. every time i play jitter is jumping randomly. Can yall somehow fix this i really enjoy using this browser but i just cant play with it running in the background((((

i had multiple tabs set up in multiple groups and i used yo restore these every day when i rebooted every morning and all that is lost to me now. i can see that the groups are there but can no longer use them. how can i uninstall mozilla firefox

This is a new laptop. I have it established to open previous windows when I turn the laptop on. Firefox is also supposed to automatically start. Neither thing is happening. Why?

these shortcuts appear on my firefox home page are so annoying here is my setting , i toggle off all shortcuts related to history or sponsored shortcuts but they still pop up each time , i want to disable this feature i need only my selected shortcuts appear on home page what can i do ?

Initually I was having issues where I couldn't get the print menu to load up (forever stuck trying to load the preview), however since then it has progressed to downloads refusing to download and the hamburger menu in the menu bar doesn't react when left clicked at all.

When I play a video in fullscreen and type something, when I typed something in the IME and will press Esc to quit the IME, the whole fullscreen will be quitted. The expected behavior is to quit the IME only, and the fullscreen should be quitted only when there is no IMEs.

The issue has been existing for years.

I am just an average end user and want to alert you to my problems and would love a solution. I am sorry that I don't have the kind of specificity in the details which might help (I am too busy doing other things and when firefox becomes too much of a pain, I generally close it and switch to another browser). I am providing my general observations. On my updated windows 10 64 bit system, firefox v148 seems to have made the browser unusable for me. Other browsers do not suffer similarly (Chrome, Edge, Opera, duckduckgo). I have had these types of issues with Firefox in the past, but they resolved with prior updates. I am at the point of switching to another browser - I hate the thought of it, but Chrome seems to be the most stable and functional. Symptoms:

• Firefox browser and the computer gradually become slower as firefox starts hogging cpu and memory and starts using a lot of power
• extensions stop working - eg, Keeper extension stops filling fields or fills incorrectly, Malwarebytes extension seems less responsive, running background sounds makes things even worse (https://www.mynoise.net/) and web pages with continuous updates (eg, map.purpleair.com) stop working altogether
• other pages stop loading, load with errors ('bad connection') or load very slowly, especially, but not always, those with more security, eg, my bank or retirement funds sites.
• after i close Firefox and start fresh, symptoms resolve, then rinse and repeat.

The previous version worked great and seemed to solve similar issues I have had with earlier releases. I assume the last stable release for me was one of the 147 versions. but when things are going well (which is most of the time), I'm not watching closely, or at all.
