How do I turn off the "split view" option... or move it somewhere else?

I get you are trying to add features... but this is one I dont need or want... and its in the place of a feature I ACTUALLY use "open link in new tab".

Very frustrating to try to open a new link only to loose HALF the screen I am currently using and NO WAY to move said tab off.

Unbelievably weird placement of this "feature".

I have my nonprofit's website through Weebly...but recently I cannot get it to come up when I type in the address...I get an error that says PR End of File Error. I am able to access the website through Edge...but I hate Edge!!!!

But it makes me think there is a setting through Weebly that is making Firefox not show the site.

Any help or advice would be great appreciated.

Hallo,

ich habe regelmäßig das Problem, dass Firefox quasi meinen gesamten Rechner ausser gefecht setzt indem nahezu die gesamte CPU Leistung und der Arbeitsspeicher in Beschlag genommen werden. Ich surfe in der Regel mit sehr vielen Tabs. Ab ca. 100-150 Tabs benötigt Firefox bei mir zwischenzeitlich 10 GB Arbeitsspeicher und mehr und benutzt die CPU zu 80-90% sodass der Rechner teilweise kurzzeitig nicht mehr reagiert und einfriert. Besonders, wenn ich 100 Tabs und mehr auf einmal als Lesezeichen speichere (Tabs auch nur schließen, da der CPU Lüfter schon dauerhaft auf 100% läuft), friert der Rechner danach erstmal für 3-4 Minuten ein. Ich verstehe nicht, was Firefox die ganze Zeit im Hintergrund anstellt, während z.B. 250 Tabs geöffnet sind. Tabs vorzuladen macht bei der Anzahl keinen Sinn und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass man richtig voraussehen könnte, welchen Tab ich als nächste wieder aufrufe und dieser dann schon vorgeladen ist, ist eher gering. Gibt es Möglichkeiten z.B.: - den zur Zeit verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher sofort zu leeren, ohne einen Tab zu verlieren oder dass Firefox geschlossen wird? - dass es dann längert dauert, wenn ich einen Tab anklicke, da dieser ja nicht mehr im Cache ist, und erst wieder in den Arbeitsspeicher geladen werden muss, ist selbstverständlich und vollkommen in Ordnung. - Kann man irgendwo einstellen, wie viele Tabs z.B. im Hintergrund aktiv sein dürfen? - Kann man den zu verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher begrenzen? - und was passiert, wenn die Grenze erreicht wird? - Kann man irgendwo an den Zeiten oder ähnlichem schrauben, wonach Tabs automatisch entladen werden? Chrome friert Tabs scheinbar automatisch ein, zu mindest ist die performance dort besser.

Es bringt ja nichts, wenn alles versuche wird im RAM vorzuhalten, damit es sofort da ist, wenn der ganze Rechner damit in die Knie gezwungen wird und am Ende das gesamte System nicht mehr zu bedienen ist. Vor einigen Jahren ist Firefox bei zu vielen Tabs oft abgestürzt, dann hat sich schon gebessert.

Es fehlt mir an Einstellungen zur Anpassung, was Firefox im Hintergrund vorhalt und was Tabs machen dürfen, wenn sie nicht aktiv bedient bzw. benutzt werden. Manuelles "entladen" kommt für mich nicht in Frage, da es zu aufwändig ist, bei extremen "Multitabbing".

Ich bin seit meiner Kindeheit begeisterter Mozilla Fan (seit Gründung von Mozilla) und verteidige und empfehle Firefox wo ich nur kann. Aber dieses Performanceproblem besteht schon sehr lange, ist zwar über die letzten Jahre besser geworden, dennoch zwingt es mich schon fast, nach einer Alternative zu suchen.

Generell fehlen viele Funktionen für Extrem-Multi-Tab-Benutzer wie z.B., dass man Tabs in der Leiste markieren oder sortieren kann. Ein großer Segen wäre eine Funktion, dass Tabs, die man bereits als Lesezeichen gespeichert hat oder doppelt geöffnete Tab, direkt zu erkennen sind, ohne dass man den Tab aufruft. Aber andere Thema. Ich benutze auch keine vertikale Tableiste, nur die horizontale klassische Leiste oben am Bildschirmrand.

Ich wäre sehr Dankbar über Tips zur Lösung des Problem mit dem Arbeitsspeicher.

Grüße

My Mozilla account has been disconnected. When I try to sign in, I enter my email and password, and am then prompted to enter a confirmation code that reportedly was emailed to me. The problem is that no such email arrives. Without that access code, I cannot log in, and syncing does not work. This is not a problem with my spam filter, because that filter is turned off, and I have no difficulty with receiving emails from other senders. How can I either get that access code sent to me, or get logged in without it?

My account was tagged/blocked by Mozilla. The account at issue has 2 factor enabled. I have a landline but now it will only text to authenticate. I had a school e-mail account but they changed and upgraded and dropped all accounts except for new/continuing students without notice (basically everyone until registration). Bottom line my phone was disabled by one vendor and my recovery e-mail by another. To access the microsoft store to correct an issue it required a new passkey. I submitted one. Now mozilla has blocked my password and microsoft requires me to login to contact the store or support but of course my issue is logging in. Around and around I go. I cannot correct a charge, microsoft is free to use my credit, and I have no way to notify anyone that something is amiss with the charge ( paying for a service already purchased, ie. double charged. I also noted a comment about that request being from outside the continental US, but have no ability to contact anyone nor to check/access my account. WTF

My browser was recently updated to 150.0.2, and on the new launch page after update describing new features, it prompted me that the new free mozilla vpn was available to try. When I clicked on the link to follow the steps to set it up, it said to click the vpn icon in the toolbar, but I don't see that icon there. When I go to more tools -> customize toolbar to try to find that icon to add it back, it doesn't appear among the toolbar options. Is this something I still don't have access to because it's in a limited beta, or is there some other way I should be accessing this?
