Recently when I try to download a file Firefox seems to give it a random amount of time before it attempts to open the file. For small files this isn't a problem, as it always seems to give at least a few seconds, but larger files get cut off. This leaves the file corrupted/incomplete.

I have no idea why is started doing this. Just one day it started opening everything I downloaded, be it PDF, image etc when complete. I turned this off and it has stopped for things that download properly, but it's still doing this 'cut off' attempt to open.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

Hello,

I am experiencing discoloration on the top left corner of my firefox browser theme when I am in "full screen view". The discoloration disappears when I exit from full screen mode to "window view". This discoloration is happening on every theme I enable. I have attached two pictures to show what I am seeing between the full screen view and window view.

I am running Windows 11 and have a 32" curved monitor. I searched for solutions such as disabling hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to be working.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you!

Firefox consumes 3 gdi handles per open tab, at 10000 it does not work right anymore

By using Process Explorer or Process Hacker or maybe task manager, I hope you can also verify that Firefox consumes a few GDI handles per open tab. Windows has a global limit and a per process limit of 10000. GDI objects are used for windows, for the file save dialog and also for user interface elements like buttons or lists. However many applications like Firefox draw everything themself like XUL etc. But still, Firefox consumes 3 handles for me (verified on another computer) per open tab.

If you have a lot of tabs open (for reasons not to be discussed in this topic) this can be problematic. If it reaches 10000 windows will not create more. Sometimes firefox hangs, but often Fullscreen (e.g. youtube videos) will not work and the gui will disappear. Also the context menu will not open and the save dialog cannot work and is hidden.

Am I the first to report this? I did not find anything. Can this be fixed? Can I post this to bugzilla?

Can anyone confirm this? The latest version does not fix it.

Websim Plugins Continually Ask to Login, then Fail Saying Google Won't Allow it

This has been working for days, but now it gives me this (see attached pictures)

This happened once another day but then it auto resolved. What should happen is the plugin would load and be playable in the tab. The plugin is coming from the same site, just a different url. Other plugins work, just not these. It doesn't make any sense because the page doesn't use google at all; that's just the login mechanism for the main page, websim. If I am logged into websim and to google this message should never popup, but it does and it blocks me and other users from using the tabs as intended.

I tried clearing cache, cookies, rebooting, etc. I logged into google, etc.

Any of the GRAST tabs do this: https://websim.ai/@Or9

This uri is the tab that tries to auto load: https://websim.ai/@Or9/m-grast You can find the others in pinned projects. I can access the uri just fine, it doesn't ask for login.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It doesn't seem right that Google can block my use of the plugin because I'm not logged in, even when I am actually logged in. Seems like a bug, probably browser side. Can someone figure this out for us?

outrageous, i moved from windows to debian for the purpose of exceling my ram capacity on this low spec netbook with 4GB 3.7GB usable with emmc chip and a celeron n4000 cpu turns out ff eats just like in windows.

I am not an expert just savy, remember the time when upgrading from 32MB to 64MB was a big leap? well where the hell did 4GB of ram became obsolete? so there's no windows conspiracy just exponential ram usage?

Is there a different version of FF i could use for this 4GB machine? non-upgradable I could always try vivaldi or look else where but i trust FF for base security. I am using ublock origin on the machine too and 1 custom theme but i doubt that fixes the root cause. Is all the internet in the 2020s this ram voracious beast?

upon loading a empty tab FF uses 500MB for itself forget about the 64MB system ram from the 90s is FF 2025 really so complex or is this a conspiracy? then i load startpage.com and it uses 200MB!! of ram just on that search form man.
