I used to be able to paste text which contains a link, without formatting, when I use the Ctrl-V option, and the link is not pasted. Now when I paste text which contains a link, the link is pasted as well. How do I set the Ctrl-V option as paste without formatting by default?

When I'm downloading game updates or other files over maybe 300Mb and minimalise Firefox while reading or working on other files, Firefly shuts down and so losing the downloads. How do I stop this from happening?

Is it possible to sync and open all tabs in the same order as on the machine the sync is performed with?

Now the synced tabs are in a sidebar and in an order that is probably based on usage. Last clicked tab on top and so on. I would prefer the same order; this makes it easier to find and use a tab when having a lot of tabs opened. And also preferably all tabs opened on top of the browser, instead of in the sidebar.

Kind Regards, Kees

I've got a problem switching from chrome, when I try to mark text of several pages and drag to the bottom of the page it's incredibly slow and laggy. Is there any way to solve this?

Like if you try to copy 3 pages of text you drag the cursor whilst holding left click to the bottom of the screen to reach the last page. It's faster if you actively pull down to go fast but I have to do that a lot for like hours and it's very tedious.

I've got a problem about rendering `video` with `requestAnimationFrame`. It seems right and quick on Chrome ,but unresponsive and flashing at FF.

 My code looks like this (minified):

``` $video.src = "/test.mp4"; $video.play(); var context = $canvas.getContext("2d"); function render() {

 context.drawImage(video, 0, 0);
 requestAnimationFrame(render);

} render(); ```

 I think this might be the most classical way to render videos to canvas2d, and it runs well on Chrome. 
 After that, I've justified `gfx.canvas.accelerated` to `true` but nothing changed.
 Is there any way for FF to be better on this way?

Amazon Seller website cannot be viewed correctly with Firefox, but works correctly with Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I like to use Firefox. Please help.

I cannot access certain features of Amazon Seller on Firefox. This problem started several weeks ago. Amazon seller works fine on Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

It seems to be an issue with Amazon Seller website only.

Please see attachments. Please advise. Thank you.

When I am on a Teams calls the Firefox window goes white - I can still see the outline of the window but that is all. Sometimes it is just for a few seconds, othertimes it lasts for 20 minutes or more. The Teams audio contiues to work. Is this issue related to internet speed ?

As of today the Washington Post crossword puzzle page will not load on my PC using Firefox and Win 11. It still loads on my tablet using Firefox for Android and it still loads on my PC using MS Edge. did you make some change in Firefox for PC overnight?

Hi,

I'm on an 8 core, i7 Intel system - 3.6ghz - with 32gb RAM. For some reason, Firefox is being weird. I'm not sure when it got this bad, but its been a bit odd for a while (hearing the computer fan coming on more, and looking at task manager it shows FF as the culprit running at high RAM and CPU)

See an example attached. It has almost 10gb of the RAM going to it, with over 6gb on one process (I think it even got up to 7.5gb at one point, before going back down).

So what could be causing it? I've got a few extensions:

Dashlane No-Cache: No store for selected hosts Web Developer

I have 6 pinned tabs - nothing fancy, just my Amazon seller page, couple of webmail portals (Roundcube) and a few others. Then currently a couple of extra non-pinned tabs

As I'm writing this, the whole browser keeps locking up as I type - and then catches up. Something is not right :/

Any suggestions on where to look? I'm not too keep on starting a "new profile", as it'll lose all my history that I use on a daily basis for my work :(

Thanks

Andy

I have a love, hate relationship with Firefox. Since it arrived on the scene, it's been my favorite browser. But every few years, it stops working as smoothly and I flirt with switching, and eventually switch, to another browser. So it is again recently.

I've been having significant problems using sites that have sign-up forms (the seem to endlessly "save" without completing the action) and a postage-printing site I use (where the "print postage" is not visible). The specific sites and incidents are irrelevant. The problem is that I'm having this problem with greater frequency (e.g., once per day) on a variety of sites that I visit. The interruption to my workflow -- switching to another browser (Chrome, Edge) to complete my actions is intolerable.

So once again, I'm flirting with leaving Firefox altogether. In my experience, at some point, Firefox will address these types of systemic issues and, when that occurs, I return. But, in the meantime, it's frustrating and time-consuming.

On some webpages, some elements don't display and I have to open another browser to see things I"m looking for. On this page under the "Chat" section is a button that opens the chat window. That button doesn't show for me in FF and I open Explorer to see it.

I find issues on many pages that I visit.bold text Is it just me ? Any suggestions ? Thanks for any help.

I recently had to reinstall windows, and then reinstalled firefox. When I synced firefox settings, and transferred all of my passwords. On the computer I transferred the passwords to (new firefox download on new installation), it states (in firefox security section) that all of my passwords were used on the date I did the sync. I am wondering if the sync made it look like I used the passwords on that date, or if the party that did the reinstall (a local computer store) tried to hack my accounts and passwords. I am changing the most sensitive account passwords, but there are so many passwords it would take me many hours to do so. If someone can confirm that the sync made it look like the passwords were used to access the accounts, but the accounts were not actually accessed, I do not have to worry. However, if the sync process does not make it look like all of my passwords were used, then I need to be concerned about my accounts being hacked. If someone can help me with this I would appreciate it.

I built this computer about a month ago and was having zero issues until today. Beginning today I started to experience hang ups every few minutes. For instance, while typing this out my text will take 4-5 seconds to appear. It is not constant but every few minutes it will do this. While this is happening I cant do things like select a word and perform a spell check. Websites are also having issues were I sit there waiting for the browser to know that I just clicked my password for dashlane. Ill click the pop up and nothing happens for a bit and then it loads a bit later. I installed chrome and was not experiencing any hang ups. Even scrolling Ill just get a random hang up.

Since this morning (07-Jul-2023) some pages have been acting up. Text gets duplicated to the point where i can no longer read the content.

Problem is that after several searches within a website or searching several different websites Firefox freezes. The address appears is the address line with a dot bounces from side to side. If I open a new window and close it then return to the original window I can then access the frozen website. Had this problem a while ago, then it seem to have been solved but has started up again in last several updates.
