Firefox Community Forum

When Firefox ver. 143.0.4 (64bit) is opened, I see many tiny groups of black dots withing the whole of the desktop display of this Firefox. From these black dots I see coloured lines traveling across the desktop within the Firefox desktop display. As I move the mouse these coloured lined move, disappear, and move around. Can you offer any suggestions. I am using Ubuntu UALinux Gamepack 22.04, The version of Firefox is an upgrade provided by Firefox updates. I have tried to uninstall this version of Firefox, same effect occuring. I have manually deleted every referance to Firefox, as this worked in UALinux Gamepack 20.04. I have used sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt --fix-broken install, and sudo dpkg --configure -a. None of these can fix this problem. I restarted my Firefox today with the same problem, and found in the Help dropdown menu, and found troubleshoot mode. When I opened in troubleshoot mode, all these problems are not there any more.

Can you offer any help ??????

P.S. I tryed to take a screenshot of this problem, but the screenshot doesn't show this problem ?

Each time I click on Firefox from the Windows 11 Task Bar, multiple versions of Firefox appear in the task manager (see photo). Some have an icon next to them that says "efficiency mode".

The attached screenshot is what I got from loading Firefox to ask this question. Multiple scans of my computer using Norton 360 -- including the Startup Scan -- have found nothing awry.

The operating system is Windows 11 Pro Edition Version 24H2 (OS Build 26,100.6584.) Firefox says it is fully up to date.

I have used Firefox as my browser for many years. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 10,PRO installed. I have installed some new software and now need to "reset" my computer in order to use the new software. My question concerns how, if there is a way, to save TABS and other items BEFORE doing the "reset". I have found several "suggestions" on how to do this, but here is one I would like your response. I found this on Chrome;

If you use Chrome browser, you can also go to Chrome's settings > On startup, and choose the "continue where you left off" option. This way when you relaunch the browser, it will carry on.

My question: Does Firefox have similar solution? I did a Firefox search and was unable to find any similar comments, although it is possible I was not searching in the right place. That's why I am asking this question. Please respond if Firefox has an answer or someone has posted an answer.

Thanks, krazykat1

For example when using Google translate there is an input delay, but it's only for Google Translate as other websites -- including other Google products -- don't have.

Last update trashed my book marks, did you sell out to Microsoft? Toll bar gone try to fix but when I logoff it resets to trash. Not happy!!!! Oh I ready did the so called trouble shooting!

Hi,

I am at my wits end with unmanageable updates.

I do a lot of research online and have tabs open and forms partially filled in a lot. This last week has seen two unavoidable updates that caused me to lose data I'd been working on in forms that did not re-populate. I first had updates set to install only when FireFox was not running, but it forced a restart anyway - and I lost an entire page of data I'd been working on.

So I changed it to let me choose when to install, but it forced a restart anyway. This is with no notice whatsoever. I open a new tab, and it says I need to restart to keep using FireFox - at that point, every tab I go to will not let me use it. I didn't even know an update had downloaded in the background.

This is a new behavior; I used to have a choice when to download (but not when to install). I'm sure I'm missing something - but what?? Can anyone help with any ideas? Thanks in advance!
