Firefox Support Forum

Dears, I searched google and youtube, and I changed as many setting on Firefox and Google as I could find, including you own advice:

" Firefox To enable or disable translation in Firefox:

   Open the Firefox menu in the top right of the browser window.
   Click Preferences.
   Click Choose in the Language and Appearance section.
   Select a language to add.
   Click OK."

It does not help! I STILL receive stupid translations from the languages that I have chosen and added. It is extremely annoying...

Looking forward to your urgent help. Thank you in advance, Daiva

Hi, to be honest since many years when Firefox get launched i started to use it, until come Chrome but i wasnt too much happy, but to be honest and even when now i have a bran new pc Chrome take lots of resources that firefox doest. Even this way i wish to keep using firefox but i suggest for the next update in firefox add a new feature like the last added in Edge (sleeping tabs) this just put to sleep the unnused tabs to save resources, save ram.

Thanks.

For the last few weeks, Firefox freezes up occasionally. Sometimes, I have to Force Quit to get out of it as Quit Firefox won't close the program. Using Ventura 13.0 on a M1 MacBook Air. It was happening before Ventura as well. Fairly recent issue.

First, this post is basically Congratulations for Firefox upon working almost flowlessly under this extreme heavy load without crashing. Saving/loading sessions works well. (which is unexpected but makes me _very_ happy :-)) Firefox exits properly without any exceptions, no matter how long it runs, or how many times the PC is sent to STR mode meanwhile.

Second, everything is fine, except RAM usage. No matter how many RAM is installed, Firefox takes up all of it after a few days of normal operation. I have recently upgraded my PC from 16 to 24 GB of RAM only for this sole reason to see if anything changes, but it did not produce any noticable change, except that it takes 5-7 days for Firefox to fill up all the RAM instead of the 3-4 days before. Disk space on C: drive was nullified by Firefox as the paging file went up to 50 GB.

I want to hunt down this thing. I have approx. 300 tabs, 2 addons, and Hardware Acceleration is disabled since otherwise Fox hangs several times a day (have to be killed from outside). Pics are attached. https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/ https://gitlab.com/kroppy/TreeTabs

I'd like to get suggestions where to start.

1. Disabling or replacing the adblocker ?
2. Inspecting memory usage on Process Manager (about:processes) and Task Manager (about:performance) pages ?
3. Installing some external tools like Firemin ?

Please don't suggest neither safe mode nor disabling all addons, since that makes it impossible to reproduce this amount of load, which is the primary reason behind the symptom.

I PrtScr'ed Process Manager and Task Manager, see that RAM sizes per page are normal in Task Manager, but not in Process Manager (10 times more).

CPU usage is totally normal for this load, even when memory is in the heaven. See the TaskMan pic. (I suppose that's because of ad blocking)

Thanks for any ideas,

-- Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit Firefox 106.0.5 (latest autoupdated) no firewall nor any antivirus - since 20 years with no infection ... AMD FX-6350 Six-core ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 24 GB DDR3 1600 MHz Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 1GB (AMD Catalyst 15.11.1, Nov 18, 2015)

Firefox loads only the top line of Facebook, with the Facebook logo, and nothing else. Troubleshoot mode does, after several minutes, load Facebook properly, but only for one session and then it's back to square one for any further sessions. Firefox has no problem, apparently, with any other website I use. Edge browser has no problem with Facebook at all. There is no error message. This problem exists in Windows 10, identically on both my HP desktop and my Lenovo laptop, and started at the same time on both, a couple of days ago.

Ever since your last two updates - Nov 4 and 5 - Gmail won't open in Standard View - only in HTML

I'm running Window 10 Pro (64) on a four year old PC

I can get Gmail to load in Standard view if I use Chrome (which I don't like) and in FireFox's Private window but it is inconvenient to have to which back and forth between windows.

I have tried all the fixes everyone a Google has given me but it come to a page that say Do you really want to view in HTML - why not click this button to be taken to Standard View" . I click on that link a page flashes for a millisecond and goes back to the " Do you really want to view in HTML"

I"m at my wits end.

Please help Wendy

I have my default yahoo mail font set as Modern - Small, but after I updated Firefox, the font displays as if it were Modern Narrow. It displays correctly in other browsers, but not in Firefox. I tried changing the default font in Yahoo Mail Settings. Other fonts work fine, but when I switch back to Modern - Small, it looks very squished.

Dialing a phone number with Google Voice worked before, but now fails. It prompts me to Register for that feature https://voice.google.com/calls?forceBanner=tel-registration but when I click on that link, nothing happens. [See first picture]

Settings | General | Applications seems to show 'tel' is assigned to Google Voice [see second picture] so as per a Google Voice help dialog, I changed it it 'always ask' [third picture]. This did no solve the problem.

When I try to access a login I have used in the past I can no longer access it. Instead the tab just gives a (($root.title)) message.

When I access the site via Chrome I can login without problems.

The site is not special, as far as I can tell. https://www.aarproadside.com/aarp/

Something has changed in a recent Firefox update because, as I said, I used to be able to access this site with Firefox.

Help please I don't want to use a different browser for some sites.

My tab bar is gone..I do not need to open previous tabs, but the tab bar is gone all together, I need to use it. I have tried settings and history and full page vs not full page view. I have bookmarks, info bar, address bar but no matter what I have tried I can not get my tab bar back. I almost always have 3-5 tabs open for work and switch back and forth now they are not showing. Please help...

Thank you

I have issues with background and text colors clashing making text hard or impossible to read. I have tried changing themes, clearing cache and disabling add-ons. It doesn't do it on every website but its doing it on enough of them to be frustrating.

As of two days ago Facebook/Meta will not load in Firefox. It's always worked fine but now won't open. I get a white page with greyed out frames but no text or graphics or colours It works ok on other browsers, so if this is not fixed, I will ditch firefox for good.

Since Firefox moved to Snap updates, two things have happened almost every day: Snap pops up to say Firefox has an update pending, and it wants to be closed and restarted; and tabs crash, and the only way to make them stop crashing is to restart Firefox or restart the OS.

I suspect the two problems are linked, and I really have to ask: do we have to have an update every 36 hours? Microsoft mostly gets by with one update cycle per week. I like to use software, not update it. I know it has to get updated regularly, but regularly shouldn't be the same as constantly.

Environment is: Firefox 106.0.5 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0 Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (64-bit) GNOME version 42.5 Wayland windowing system

I accidentally downloaded Japanese version of Firefox and I've changed to English as the primary language. But for some reason, all of the windows for "open file" "attachments" is in Japanese. I have both languages in my mac but I have my primary language as English. I made sure by going over the settings, removing Japanese, restarting and going back to Firefox to see if it fixed the issue. I also removed Japanese as an alternative language on Firefox as well but nothing seems to fix the problem.

The attachment is what I see every time whenever I open a window in Firefox. No other program has this problem. I can still use the window in Japanese but it bothers me not knowing what is causing this issue.

Google earth, not working!

Well, on my win 7 google earth was great. Hard drive went so had to upgrade to 10. Google earth will not work in firefox. It will only open in ms edge. Is this a giant con, where ms take control of your goods? Shame on google and sham on firefox.

I'm trying restrict usage of fingerprinting for my browser. I've already checked some articles and resources, for example this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting

Currently my setup is like this: - I set "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to "strict" - I set "privacy.resistFingerprinting" to "true" - I'm using uBlock Origin

But still when I visit https://amiunique.org/fp I'm getting the information that I'm unique. The worst performance is amongst: Headers attributes:

• Content language: <0.01%

Javascript attributes:

• User agent - 0.49%
• Content language - 0.04%
• Canvas - Unique (this is weird because I'm even getting a notification about blocked canvas, maybe it is a quirk of this website)
• Screen height - 0.05%
• Screen available Height - 0.07%
• Media devices - Unique

Is it expected for Firefox to fail that test? By Firefox own marketing I expected that I'm protected from fingerprinting but in fact I'm not. And worst yet it isn't even turned on by default.

What can I do more to actually block fingerprinting? I tried Ghostery and Privacy Badger extensions but they didn't seem to help so I removed them.
