Mozilla lags a lot when it's started, it takes ten thousand hours to open a tab when it's started. YouTube lags a lot and specially when 60fps videos are watched and shorts are being watched. Otherwise everything works well with other browsers, but Mozilla.

Previous Tabs Not Being Restored

There are a number of threads/articles on this, such as: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1341031

They don't include that if "Clear History when Firefox is Closed" is checked, that even though settings are set to open previous tabs, everything is lost. There are options for that setting but it has wiped out my previous sessions a few times with no recovery available. I have always forgotten which setting does that even when it happens, so am hoping the threads/articles will be updated to include it for fixing the problem. It seems these settings are in conflict though and not clear. If Open Previous Windows and Tabs is set to on, I think it should override wiping people's tabs out in other settings that are buried or not as intuitive.

I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and installed the newest Firefox 111.0. I'm familiar with about:config and all general settings in programs involved.

I used to have any link open in a new tab, but stay focused on the current one. DuckDuckGo search results opened new tabs but stayed on the search results page. I can no longer do that and can't figure out what changed or how to return it to this behavior.

Hello,

When I post threads in Twitter, the thread/tweet scroll bar does not work in Firefox. When I click on the scroll bar it asks if i want to discard thread. I don't have this problem in Chrome. I've played around in settings and have the most recent version of Firefox and the issue is still there. Thanks.

I keep getting this message for just one site The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to www.paperbackswap.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I have all 3 versions of the address for this site as allowed for cookies I have several sites open in tabs - all others open fine except this. Sometimes this happens at startup and sometimes just with a page refresh Sometimes I have to wait hours & keep retrying, sometimes shutting the system and restarting multiple times will bring it up. This is definitely a firefox problem because I can go to chrome and it opens fine Can you help figure out why this doesn't work?

I have been using Firefox for well over a decade. Recently, I had to reformat my boot drive, the hard drive C drive.

I lost programs, but not files, as I had done a simple copy of the entire file structure, directories, files, everything, to an external drive. However, I stupidly forgot to export the firefox bookmarks first. So i have a brand new firefox install, but no bookmarks.

Can someone please direct me to where I would go on the external drive to get all my old firefox bookmarks, and the best way to import them into my new installation?

Thank you.

I dragged two Folders to my desktop and a bookmarked link from each appeared as a shortcut that I am now unable to remove. Dragging it to my recycle bin or pressing delete does not work and I am unsure as to what I can change in their Properties to fix the issue; changing the names does not work either. Thank you for any assistance.

Leading Zero Suppressed in Firefox PDF v109.0.1 64 bit on Windows 10

Was filling out pdf version of 2022 IRS tax forms and discovered leading zero is suppressed in Firefox PDF v109.0.1 64 bit on Windows 10. "Before" image is after typing leading zero but before 'enter' or moving to next field. "After" image is after typing leading zero and after 'enter' or moving to next field. The leading zero disappears.

Saving pdf does not change leading zero suppression.

To see if the pdf document was configured by the IRS to suppress leading zero, I opened the same form in Microsoft Edge v109.0.1518.78 64 bit on Windows 10. It retained the leading zero after typing then 'enter' or moving to next field.

While using MS Edge to complete pdf forms fixes my immediate issues, there still seems to be a defect in Firefox pdf.

There exists a problem, or at least I think it is, that I have with the New Tab page. If I have a website I visit on a daily basis like Discord and Twitch, and want to get rid of it from my New Tab page by clicking on the "Delete from History" button, I expect it to disappear within a single click although it doesn't happen in that way. Instead, I need to repeat the process by many tens of times just for it to be gone, and it frustrates me. Looking for alternatives that I don't fundamentally understand, mainly found in the settings, also don't do any good.

So what's the issue? My best solution is just to keep on what I was doing until it's gone.
