Firefox Community Forum

My firefox broswer is starting super slow since the last update. I am on a windows 10 lap top running McAfee anti virus software.

In my task manager there are multiple firefox icons running. See the attached screen shots.

I copied one of the crash report into the note section below.

If any one know show to correct this slow start up pleas let me know.

Thank you Dale

Every time I open more than a couple of tabs, a Firefox pop-up asks if I'm overwhelmed; I'm not. How can I make it stop? (I have already unticked Recommend features in Settings and set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.userprefs.cfr.features to False.) Equally annoying is the constant 'Summarise page' feature reminder. I have certainly Got It! by now.

I want youtube to go back to the list of websites on the url drop down menu. I'm annoyed that Heroforge replaced it after only two visits to the website and I don't know why it even did that.

Whenever I try to full screen a Youtube video a large solid white bar will appear on the bottom of my screen. It doesn't block the actual video or even the controls but it seems to push the entire video upwards. It only does this on firefox and only on youtube. It seems to be a solid empty space as I can't click on it and right clicking just gives me video playing options. I've tried restarting my computer and firefox a few times and that didn't work. It does however change size and with the browser zoom and color mode respectively. please help.

how do you disable or unreaveal when the mouse hovers over the task bar (search bar) at the top while in full screen mode (f-11) to me this annoying when the mouse enters that section of the screen. chrome does not do this. Is there a way to toggle off a switch in a setting? if not, can one be added.

When Firefox updated to 147.0.3, it shredded Quick Dial and I am using the latest version.. Less than half of my tabs still exist, and many of the "everyday" tabs - banking, utilities, online purchasing, etc, - are simply gone. Unless there is a solution, and I have contacted the developer with no success, I will no longer be a Firefox user. Beyond this issue, Firefox has been increasing difficult to use for purchases (big examples, Rock Auto, PayPal) and have had to switch browsers too many times to complete purchases DESPITE making exceptions for these websites in Settings. This situation is the proverbial "last straw". Solution or I'm out. Screenshot attached would have originally shown A FULL PAGE OF TABS.

Technical issues After update. I have two computers both of which some problems since the latest Update in February. The microphone won't work on certain apps. One of my extensions are operating as expected and Firefox is not closing all the way or so it's reported. When I go to open up again a new session, it says it's already open but not responding. I have the option close it and then starts right up.

I have been running version 147.0.2 on Windows 10 Pro. I manually downloaded the version 147.0.3 updater and ran it without any apparent problem. However, when doing the required restart, the update process did not complete. Multiple restarts and cold boots have not remedied this. When I start Firefox using my desktop icon, version 147.0.2 is started.

My "Programs and Features" window shows both versions are installed. When trying to uninstall either version, in either order, I receive a message saying that the system should be restarted to complete the update process. As stated, this does not work.

Following a restart, the Performance Monitor does not show any recognizable "ghost" processes that would need to be stopped.

Inspection of the System event log showed the following Warning:

 *  Name resolution for the name push.services.mozilla.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

There may be other warnings / errors that are pertinent to this situation, but that was the only one that mentioned "mozilla" or "firefox" by name.

Starting about a week or two ago, I noticed the text of Firefox is grainy. But when the cursor moved, it would get grainy in a different way. So, some letters which were previously unreadable became readable, but other letters became unreadable.

Going to the same web pages with other browsers renders the page readable. So, the problem seems to be Firefox specific.

Even while typing this, portions of the characters on my screen blink in and out.

If there is no solution, I will have to utilize some other browser.

Thank you,

i do use ad blockers "experiencing problems find out why "well,of course lol. I know this ,but when i shut down the browser & re launch the browser it won't initiate/execute. not matter what I do. I then run the DISM script and she (firefox) fires back up again. Any insight or work around to fix this this nagging problem would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, windows 11, 32 gig of ram, 60 mps down 75 up.

I appear to have my bookmarks duplicated. Bookmark Menu list of bookmarks, bookmark 1

                                                           bookmark 2
                                                           bookmark 3 etc
                                                           ........
                                                           bookmark 1
                                                           bookmark 2
                                                           bookmark 3 etc

At a glance, the repeated bookmarks are the same, but I could have filed a new bookmark in either set. What can I do to stop these duplicates?

I on MacOS and I'm facing this issue last half of the year. As usual mac book user, I have many WIP items on my laptop, so I don't reload my laptop every day, even months it can leave without reloading.

So, after a workday I just closing it and come back tomorrow. When I back to the work and want to open new tab: Jira, Gmail, LinkedIn any other tabs - FireFox just keeping in loading state. In comparison, the Google Chrome that opened as well all the time but with fewer tabs, open the same links in seconds.

I though the FireFox is not latest version, and updating or re-starting of it, sometimes helped me to fix the issue. But now it seems stopped work either.

So, after a 5 years on FireFox I'm seriously started about my migration back to Google Chrome. I'm not sure that you can help me in this forum, but at least I would like to hear you option. Maybe anyone else have seen such behavior also and FireFox could find the issue

It seems that the bookmarks function and history files are possibly "in use by another app". I do not understand much of this. I think it happened after an update. I tried a restore point. I deleted the Icons file as it seemed that might be an issue and they would automatically update on restart. I called Dell support, they could not fix it, neither could my smart, younger friends. So after hours of frustration, I had to install chrome, which I hate. What I want is for someone to just fix it. Its 2:30am and I need to get some sleep, I will check this tomorrow afternoon and see if I can get anywhere. Good night all!

i re-installed my windows, installed firefox, and it automatically re-synced everything, a few days later, windows had an issue so i had to install windows again, but this time, when i installed firefox, i logged in, and after finishing syncing nothing was there, everything is gone, that being said, it's only form the desktop browser, i still have all my bookmarks and passwords on my phone's firefox, but they wont sync into the desktop one i cant find an option to export the phone ones into a file to import in the desktop app, i need help

Hi, my PC had some hardware problem and al its data was wiped as procedure, so i had to install everything from zero, this includes Firefox, and when i did so i did the same as usual, download it, open it and log in to sync my data, but there seems to be a problem, all my data is gone, it says its synced and i try to sync it many times, no bookmarks, no extensions, no passwords, nothing, this is my only account too. tried to look up solutions online and saw people talk about 'old Firefox data' folder that can appear on the desktop but nothing for me, tried to go to about:profiles and see what profiles i had and switch to see if its in any or if the folder appears but still nothing, i don't seem to find a solution, i only got the PC back at the end of December last year, and its as far as i can see my Firefox activity here, but I've always used this account and I've synced in multiple PC's with no problem i don't understand what is happening now. thank you
