whenever I launch Firefox, my Steam downloads plummet to 0. Just sitting on the home screen (blank) is enough to do that, or navigating around at all. I've tried a new download of FF, private browsing, no extensions enabled, and nothing seems to make a difference. Which drive I write to doesn't make a difference, either.

Specs: 22H2 Windows 10 i5-12600k AMD 5600XT graphics card FF 123.0.1

Whenever I have 2 tabs open, Firefox always takes up 2gb of ram. I already turned on minimum memory usage in about:memory and turned off hardware acceleration.

For context, my specs: 8gb ram i5 1240p (integrated graphics)

I know you're meant to use up all of your ram, but I typically have other apps pen to multitask.

Thank you

the last url in moz_places in places.sqlite are not the same as in my history tab I posted here

Here is my `last-url.sh`

   #!/bin/bash
   
   rm  -rf /tmp/db.sqlite 
   cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr/places.sqlite /tmp/db.sqlite ;
   LAST_URL=`sqlite3 /tmp/db.sqlite "select url from moz_places order by last_visit_date desc limit 1;"`;
   echo $LAST_URL


My script keeps giving me wrong answer. For exemple, a stackoverflow.com url instead of the youtube.com one even if i reload the page.

I have only one `xxxxxx.default-esr` profile.

Screenshot examples: the "google test" is a brand new visited url, and the others were refreshed pages

We have the latest Firefox standard installed on a Windows server. i can access and use the browser normally in one account but not the other. i have submitted the reports and would like to know if there is something I can do. the report id is 5c59acb1-daa7-4eb2-a173-7690394841d3.

Everything is working fine in the troubleshooting mode and I have also deleted and changed profiles but getting the same error.

We also don't have extensions and no plugins too. i did a refresh and this did not solve the issue.

Your help will be welcome.

Facebook works fine on iPhone and iPad, and on Chrome on PC. Crashes ("Gah, your tab just crashed") when opening Facebook tab have been happening for a few days now. Also, when closing Facebook tab from Firefox, PC crashes (black screen) and reboots. Many other Firefox / Facebook crash complaints already made to Firefox, but not fixed. Pls fix urgently or I will be forced to cancel account, uninstall Firefox app and use MS Edge or Chrome as my default browser.

Hi, I watch specific streaming live show on YouTube every week. Unfortunately, I always have to play it in non-Firefox browser, because the video freezes every couple minutes, while audio track is still playing in the background. Based on the comments from the stream chat, other people have this issue too. Why? How to fix it? It is annoying. Internet connection is ok. Other browsers no issue. OS Linux Mint 20 Ulyana 64-bit Kernel Linux 5.4.0-172-generic x86_64 MATE 1.24.0 Mozilla Firefox 123.0 (64-bit)

Hey!

So since yesterday I can't use my hotmail/outlook anymore!

I can still use it on other browsers & I can just surf the web just fine. But outlook? Nope. Reading messages work, but they still appear as unread when I go back to my inbox. I can't send an email, cant save drafts or do anything.

Pretty frustrating. What can I do? I updated the browser again, rebooted pc & I also tried deleting cookies

Highlighting with the mouse is full of glitches. It never works right. It either stops highlighting or highlights opposite the direction I'm moving the mouse.

I need to summarize a recent medical encounter; the hospital's 234 pages are out of temporal order and have many repeats. I want to put it in time order and delete the repeats. It's a PDF, and since I can't use Acrobat anymore, I read PDFs in Firefox.

Not once have I been able to mark a section of text properly. There seem to be some forbidden areas: I highlight what I can, transfer it, then go back for the rest, but it won't highlight.

Ctl-A highlights it. I often do that and delete the excess, but that's inconvenient.

I can open the same file in xpdf and mark without trouble, but I don't like xpdf.

For this doc, I converted the PDF to text with pdf2text, but it's harder to read. I identify target text in Firefox, then find it in the text version, use emacs to copy from the original to my summary.

I've tried a fresh battery in the mouse. Every other app works.

Too often I will try to open multiple tabs from my bookmark tool bar and after opening 3 or 4 tabs no more will load. All I can do is reload Fire fox and start over. I have refreshed Firefox several times and it works for a while. If I use MS Edge it works fine every time. I really don't want to switch over to MS edge. Please help.

Starting recently the firefox popups for website notifications are stealing focus and disturbing my workflow. I'm using i3 window manager and normally popups would have some id or class that can be used to latch on and prevent the focus stealing but the windows created now do not have any such marker.
