This code in mozilla.cfg used to overwrite new tab, but as of latest firefox 136.0b1 no longer works. Any way to fix this? There error in Browser Console.

// mozilla.cfg needs to start with a comment line var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

/* set new tab page */ try {

 Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm");

For the past few weeks Firefox has been crashing and freezing often. Crashes are worst when trying to access Protonmail, which almost always crashes the tab instantly. Freezes happen most often when browsing Reddit, and also when watching Youtube, but crashes and freezes can happen on almost any website.

I have tried changing profiles, refreshing and uninstalling/reinstalling, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse over time.

Here are some recent crash reports:

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?

On some sites, some Chinese characters will display as completely blank. It's only some characters, and it's only on some sites. I know one would be inclined to say the site just doesn't have correct settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case because this issue only appears on Firefox (Chrome doesn't have this issue for the same sites). (Sometimes even on the same site it will be inconsistent whether it displays... Like the Google search results will display Chinese fine, but the text typed into search bar itself will display incorrectly.) The font it displays in also appears to be inconsistent, but I don't mind that as much.

I've tried changing the default font to both Microsoft YaHei and SimSun - neither changed anything regarding my problem.

I've seen other people with similar problems be recommended to figure out what fonts are being used via inspect element, but I haven't found any example providing what exactly you're to do after you've found that information out. However, if it helps, I did that and found out the fonts being used were MS Gothic, SimSun, and Yu Gothic, though I don't know which one is causing which issue, or what I'd do about it even if I did know.

Here's an image as an example - as you can see, some characters are fine, some display in a different font than the others, and some don't display at all. I would very much appreciate advice on what to do from here.

https://www.pge.com/ https://my.dmv.ca.gov/

Websites such as the Sites above are not working in Firefox or other Open Source Browsers. I am being forced to use Chromium in this case to complete payments and add items to the DMV Cart and complete a payment for example. I do not want to have to do this. I do not want to be forced to use a Closed Source Browser such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Or, Even the Open Source version of Google Chrome Chromium. Companies like PGE are deciding to drop support for Firefox as the State not enough users use Firefox. They are forcing the market to use a Non Open Source Browser. This is a Problem. This is not good for Competition and the Internet as a whole. Not good for me as I am a Linux User. The PG&E website does not even load when using Firefox. The DMV site loads but does not allow one to complete any Payments for Example. At this time one can only view Information on the DMV website.
