Hello, I love using firefox but I tend to open many tabs. I close them often but I noticed in taskmanager that closed tabs were continuing to use RAM. How can I disable this from happening. (I read a few articles mentioning about:memory about:performance ??? I'm not an expert but I don't mind doing it manually) Thanks

Is there an option to restore not just the previous session, but the session before that?

It seems it wipes everything on each close, I figure that might be a security feature, but it would be really helpful if there was a plugin/add-on or better yet an option to keep session up to X amount. Since firefox is my default broswer sometimes I will open a link thru an app and close it, forgetting that it will delete my previous session. Then it is impossible to open up those tabs again as I keep them open for a while.

Please let me know if there is an easy solution to this.

Sincerely, Dylan I

While there are a lot of benefits of having the subtitles in the PiP mode/windows, it also brings a lot of issues too since it block the contents of the video. ( Yes. we can turn off the subtitle as needed). Wonder Firefox offer a solution where the subtitle is played in the original tab and the pop-out pip window can choose to show subtitle or not ? Thank you.

Since April 2022 intermittent failure to log in to Spectrum.net on Firefox. Last week intermittent went to full time. So far Spectrum unhelpful. Spectrum tells me they know there is a problem with many users having difficulty logging in on Firefox and that their technicians have been working on it since April.

Error message: "We’re sorry, we’re unable to sign you in. Please try again later. IDID-3210."

Several times I have also received IDID-3104 - I think that's right.

Spectrum provided an email only access which also fails on Firefox but works on Edge. Can now access full Spectrum website through Edge.

What I have already tried on Spectrum. DELETED: cookies loggins old bookmarks Spectrum passwords

Spectrum appears to forcing me to use any browser other than Firefox. I want to use Firefox. Hate Edge. Please help.

After the last Firefox update, i am trying to open youtube.com in my Firefox browser but it's not letting me to do it. Every time i open it shows an error and says that the error is from YOUTUBE and FIREFOX or I can do nothing about it. But the funny part is its working on other browsers like chrome.

Much (but not all) of the time, when I click on a link that opens in a new tab, that tab never loads the content. It sits there with the little dot on the left oscillating back and forth.

BUT if I close Firefox and reopen it, it comes back with all the tabs I had when I closed it -- and the problem tab loads and displays the content without trouble.

What can I do to not have to close and reopen Firefox so often?

I'm running the latest version of Firefox on Windows 11 Home. 64-bit.en

After being updated to FireFox release 102.1, any zipped or setup (execution) files show as 'file' extension and will not open or execute.

Can you please advise me on how to fix? I tried using a different browser for same download, and it works fine (leaves the extension as application or exe or zip). FireFox is defined as the default browser - Windows 10.

Thanks!

Windows 8.1 Firefox 102.0.1 Clean install with a brand new profile

Noodling around about:config I discovered that the boolean value browser.sessionstore.enabled does not exist.

Interestingly though, it's numerical partner browser.sessionstore.interval does exist and was set to 15000. (15000 miliseconds = 15 seconds)

I was planning to increase this interval significantly. However...

It is my understanding that browser.sessionstore.enabled must be set to true for browser.sessionstore.interval to have any effect.

So what gives? Why is there a browser.sessionstore.interval set to 15000 when the prerequisite browser.sessionstore.enabled does not even exist?
