Firefox Community Forum

Never really bothered asking. But now i think it's time. Why is it, that Firefox, never, ever, remembers it window size or position?

1. I use Firefox exclusively in fullscreen. Every time, after i've started my pc and launched Firefox, it never starts fullscreen.

2. I use Firefox in windowed mode, i resize and place it where i want it to be. Every time, after i've started my pc and launched Firefox, it never remembers it's size nor position on the desktop.

I do not understand why that's a thing.

Pc's: multiple win11 machines.

I am running the latest update for Firefox (143.0 (64 BIT) on a Windows 10 Dell laptop. Since the update on August 28th (prior update), my browser has been extremely slow, even with only one tab open. Task manager shows 95% memory usage after 15 minutes of browsing, and I have to end task on Firefox, then reopen the browser. I have run my Webroot antivirus and Malware Bytes, and my laptop is coming up clean.

I am not fond of Microsoft Edge, but I wanted to see how it performed. I have no issues with speed, so I can only guess that this is a Firefox issue.

Are there any known issues with the August 28th update?

"If there is a problem with how this image is displayed, view it in a browser" Always goes to Microsoft edge by default. How can I make Firefox the default for viewing email messages in my browser?

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 143.0b5 (64-bit), running on macOS Big Sur (11.7.10). My bookmarks for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads won't load on the first click. Most of the time I am presented with a blank white page. Sometimes I might get part of the page to show. I have to click on the bookmark a second time and then the page loads completely. This behavior doesn't happen with any other bookmarks I have.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Hello, the zoom returns for each tab at 120%. Does not take into account 80% changes. Parameter 80% by default for ZOOM. I reinstalled firefox completely without success. With each new Tab goes back to 120%. I have a 65-inch screen. IT'S HUGE.

THANKS

As in if not minimized just the once, the taskbar doesn't unhide when I move the cursor all the way to the bottom.

It happened earlier this year, an update fixed it, and it came back some updates ago.

Is there anything to configure in the about:config to alleviate this issue?

Many thanks!!

I don't think any of the above topics relate to my question.

When I am typing an email (AOL), I type for awhile and then all of a sudden, the cursor just disappears. I have to point my mouse again and click to get it back. Then I type again, and all of a sudden it again disappears. I have read articles, etc. but nothing seems to help it. What is the problem and how do I fix it? If I switch to a different browser there is no problem; only in Firefox.

Thanks, Kathy

Hi all. I'm experiencing a frustrating video playback issue in Firefox on my Mac. Whenever I move my cursor, the video becomes noticeably blurry until I stop moving it. Then it takes a second and returns to normal sharpness. This problem is exclusive to Firefox and doesn't happen in other browsers. One interesting quirk is that it seems like the lower the video resolution is, the more noticeable the blur appears.

This video on Reddit shows my issue perfectly: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/qbecrh/m1_has_problem_when_playing_video_and_moving/

I've already tried several common fixes, including disabling hardware acceleration and other graphics settings such as tinkering with gfx.webrender, but nothing has resolved it. I'm hoping someone on the forums might know if this is a known bug or if there's a solution I haven't found yet.

Specs: MacBook Pro w/ M1 Max (2021) macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Firefox 143.0 (aarch64) ... but the issue has been going on for years so I doubt that the macOS or Firefox version has anything to do with it.

I'm at a total loss here and would be immensely grateful for any help.

Since the newest wave of firefox updates my icons on startup are gone. When i click new tab they show up again or when restarting the page. I tried reinstalling firefox & changing icons with no help. The previous update before 141.0 had no issues. I tried searching around and didn't find anything helpful. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?

When i switch tab bar to vertical and then open another application with firefox-developer side by side with hyprland tile management system,, some button is not taking mouse click on exact location.

In the image below it is taking click on the list all tabs when i am trying to press menu

Hi, I set up the vertical tabs and I like them. However they're very unstable and so is the tab sidebar. The expand on hover feature only works for a short time. Then the x to close a tab disappears and the sidebar gets stuck open or closed. If it gets stuck open, it covers the settings and AI and history sidebars so I need to close it manually to use them. Yesterday I lost 3 of my 6 pinned tabs. After closing and opening FF, they were just gone.

Also my tab groups will suddenly disappear. This started in the previous version and still happens, and I lose the sites I had collected. Plus FF has been very slow to load.

So yesterday I gave up and reverted to horizontal tabs. Like magic FF suddenly worked perfectly and very fast. I'm not enough of a techie to have any idea of what is causing what and would really appreciate any advice.

bold text I thought I had messed up my Firefox home screen somehow, when I deleted cookies and data (I am 84 and not techy, and not keen on changes!), but now I see that an update has done it. I want my old home screen back, with the 'previous tabs' feature restored instead of the 8 bookmarks that now occupy that space, most of which I rarely use. How can this be done, please?

 I'm using Windows 11

Why in many articles the Reader View access button in not enabled in URL right hand side. For example

Hi! Firefox now has two profile managers. The old one can be used so that I can open two Firefox instances with different desktop files on Linux with the "-P and --no-remote" command line flags. Is this also possible with the new profile manager in Firefox that came with version 138, which is similar to Chrome's? With Chrome this can be done with the "--profile-directory" command line flag. Can't find information about this. /Regards
