I came back to Firefox - which was my preferred browser for many years - because Chrome is a big fat memory hog, and would spend quite a while swapping pages into memory if it had been out of focus for a while. Opinions at the time varied widely, but suggested Firefox was more efficient.

Nope.. Firefox is at least as bad. And worse; it can't maintain a connection to Gmail which forces me to completely restart the browser every day. Mention this to Mozilla support and all you get from the devs is, "I don't experience this (on my high-end dev system) so it can't exist". Yeah, I'm running Firefox in the 2GB left over on my 8GB laptop - how hard can it be to write efficient code.. memory hog or slightly worse memory hog isn't much of a difference to me.

And of course I cant get the extensibility I used to have; and the constant pestering every-single-time the browser gets focus to do an upgrade. Going back to Chrome; though I expect things to get shaken up for the better soon enough (so over this old-skool grind with poorly functional, slow and unreliable software: bring on the AI)

I haven't used Firefox since they introduced the stupid new design back in 2021 and I came back because all the other browsers are worse than the old Firefox, so is this new one! Why is everything made for touch? I can't even set the density to compact anymore and everything is bigger than it was before... And now there's a bunch of garbage like firefox pocket, tab manager thing and import bookmarks button which wasn't there before and doesn't need to be

Firefox is the browser I use for my AT &T E-mails. I cannot sign in anymore using my password. It says too many attempts have been made to sign in, when it was the first time on that day I am trying to sign-in. I have tried to change my password and it works for a while, and then the same thing happens a few days later. Please help. AT & T tell me that it is the Firefox browser that is doing this. I have tried getting help with AT & T and they can't figure it out.

I'm using a Windows 7 machine. And yes I know, I should upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. :-) Hopefully you all can still help. With the latest Firefox update 112.0.1, Firefox will no longer open. I can click the icon again and again and nothing. It doesn't even try or give an error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but nothing. I did find on another test machine I had if I installed an older version, it will open but wants to create a new profile causing me to lose all my bookmarks. I don't want that on my actual machine. Can anyone help? Keep in mind that it will not open at all. So I can't clear cache or change settings or even backup my bookmarks.

Viewing messages on Ancestry, Facebook & AVG

Currently running Firefox 72.0.2 on Windows 7 Desktop PC. Believe these problems were caused by the ‘Enhanced Tracking Protection’ (ETP) feature, but no matter what remedy I follow on FF support, I cannot cure the problem. (1) Problem seem to be common to both Ancestry & Facebook websites & relates to viewing messages which use a (pop-up/fly-out?) window. Ancestry’s support solution was to install chrome & so far Facebook support has not responded. I can work around this by using my chrome laptop to read & reply to messages on both websites, but this is a real pain since all this worked fine on FF before.

(2) AVG has the same problem populating (pop-up/fly-out?) window for ‘performance issues’. Obviously I cannot use another PC or laptop to check this out, so I am stuck.

All suggestions welcomed, but note I am a novice at all this, so please be gentle!! Cheers, Mickey. P.S. I have more info, but this is all a bit overwhelming & so I won't add it at moment

I recently upgraded to 91.7.1esr and the shortcut icons that open when I open a new page have changed. They are now about a quarter the size they used to be and are located inside small white squares. The squares themselves are the size the icons used to be. This is a nightmare! Can I change them back to the way they were?

Why does firefox sometimes have spell check for me and sometimes not? Like right now I see it saying I need to capitalize "firefox" with a red line under it. However, in my email (outlook) it usually does not work. But sometimes does. I've turned if off/on multiple times and tried other things. Yesss I've downloaded the latest, etc.

Such an annoying problem. I want to support Mozilla and use their things, but man... This is big for me.

Thanks

With the latest version 112.0.2 NordPass stopped functioning properly. Will not autofill. This happens on all 3 of my computers 2 are windows 10 and a win 7). Other browsers (Edge. Brave etc) work fine. I have cloned backup of system disks. I booted from a backup drive, which has previous version of the browser. and NordPass works fine. I tried several troubleshooting steps: turned off all other extensions - complete uninstall of NordPass and did an install - lowered security protection - used CCleaner & Privazer to clean system after each step. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox is is my default browser.

Why am I getting this white line completely around Firefox? I did a reset last night and it seemed to have disappeared but it's back again today. I think it may have started with the last update. It seems like with each new update comes new problems. Some days Firefox doesn't work at all for me. Firefox has always been the browser that I have preferred to use but it's rapidly becoming unusable for me. The white line is just cosmetic but Firefox is also plagued with tons of functional problems that keep getting worse. Is there a paid version that actually works?

Problem is that it is two different sites, which makes connections to https://www.domain.tld imposible.

Setting browser.urlbar.trimURLS ti false does nor change this behavior.

Please advise
