Ever since upgrading to FF 140 yesterday, there is a new icon labeled "Manage use of DRM Software" in the browser just left of the URL, which violently shakes every time I open a website that requires approval to play DRM content.

Now, I do not play any DRM content and have deactivated anything related in the settings, yet every time I open e.g. discord.com where users might embed music or videos in chat rooms (that are optional and ignored by me) that silly icon starts shaking again, which is super annoying.

Is there a way to remove it altogether, or AT LEAST disable the shaking?

After my last Windows 10 update this week, suddenly, Microsoft Family safety settings STOP Firefox from starting up! Can't start Firefox. DRASTIC! DEVASTATING So I HAD to import everything from Firefox to Edge browser, just to send this message. But I left Firefox as my default browser. I am the head my Family group in Family Safety settings.

After clicking on Firefox I get the following message from Family Safety: "You can't use Firefox because of your family safety settings, but it doesn't hurt to ask" Then there's a place to click on: ASK TO USE(Firefox)

  Before clicking on this I removed internet access to my machine. ASK TO USE is a permission FROM Microsoft that never comes if clicked on. These people have HIJACKED my ability to use Firefox.

They should be sued.

Hello.

I use Firefox on an computer with Ubuntu, (installed as snap) and have noticed that since the update to version 140 (specifically, version 140.0 canonical-002-1.0), closing a tab causes a noticeable delay : that is, upon any action that would close a tab (clicking on the cross, pressing CTRL+w, or middle clicking), there is a delay of about 200 to 300 ms before the tab is actually closed.

However, during this delay, the window still responds to inputs, leading to rather annoying situations. For example, during regular usage, I usually open a great number of tabs. When I am done with browsing, I close them, by repeatedly clicking the cross button on the tabs. It used to be that the tab under the cursor would immediately close, then the next tab would slide under the cursor, and I would click again to close that one, etc.

But now, when clicking the cross button, the tab is not closed, and when I click again after a small delay (because of muscle memory), the tab is still there. This cause the two single clicks to be treated as a single double-click, which for some reason puts the window in full-screen mode (but only with the snap version; I'm not sure what's going on here).

When using CTRL+w when closing tabs, the delay is still there, but the inputs are correctly handled. If I press CTRL+w three times at the usual rate, I can see the three key presses, then nothing happens for a few instants, then the three tabs close at the same time (i.e. the delay is from input to tab close, not from tab close to other tab close).

This behaviour is completely absent on Firefox (also version 140) on my windows computer.

This delay does not appear when creating tabs, and it does not occur either when closing the window or when closing the last tab in the window (leading to an amusing situation where shutting down Firefox is actually faster then closing a tab). These operation keep going at their previous speed, immeasurably fast to the human eye.

Navigation does not appear to be meaningfully slower than before the update, and the CPU/memory usage is very reasonable.

Curiously, this appears to be a fixed delay. Closing an empty tab takes the same time as closing a very busy one. Closing a tab when there are five takes the same time as closing a tab when there are thirty.

This issue makes browsing feel incredibly sluggish.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

Edit 1 : I have tried to run Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but there was no difference in behaviour. Edit 2 : Fixed typo. Edit 3 : Added exact version. I also tried to refresh Firefox, but the issue remained. Edit 4 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.1 canonical-002-1.0.

Why can't I login into my paypal account in Firefox?????,but if I use Google Chrome,it is not a problem Also On Prime Video,each time I log in(through Firefox) I keep receiving a message about the Browser Is not able to receive HD Videos

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

It seems there is no process in place for checking if recommended add-ons are still worthy of being recommended.

Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express is a prime example. It hasn't worked for a long time, was last updated in April 2024, and the developer no long responds to any form of communication. And yet it still one of your recommended add-ons. How can this be? Not only should it not be recommended, it should be removed.

Hi there, My bookmarks have disappeared. I cannot recall any bookmarks. How do I retrieve them? Also, when I drag a tab to the menu bar, it will not be accepted and open another page. regards Alan

Hello,

I am trying to download a few JPG images from Meetup.com. Here is an example URL:

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/0/a/highres_528673578.jpeg

This is CLEARLY a JPG image from the URL. However, when I right click on the image to Save As the only choice given is AVIF! I cannot open or use AVIF files. As you know the conversion process is LOSSY so trying to convert BACK to a JPG format is not recommended.

It is fine if Firefox and other browsers want to use AVIF format internally but you should, at least, give users the OPTION of downloading the native format.

So how do I fix/configure Firefox to provide the native JPG file download?

Thanks, Steve

Hi,

I work in a technical profession where we have large amounts of GUI-configurable equipment. Firefox was my go-to browser to configure and maintain this equipment. Up until today, when version 140 installed unexpectedly.

There is no https in this equipment, no certificates, no certificate server, no DNS. Just a LAN cable, peer to peer, to use the browser as a GUI to manage the equipment. There is no need for high level security either, since there is no internet.

Now how do I do this? In previous versions of Firefox it was possible to override the security warning and proceed anyway, which is what we did. Now we don't get the option to override, and it does not appear there is any way to change this behavior in the settings. This heavy handed nanny stuff does not sit well with me and it has made Firefox 140 essentially useless for my purposes. I've rolled back to a previous version of Firefox for now.

Hi, The browser suddenly closed, and I can't open it since then. I searched for what to do but couldn't find anything helpful. I tried reinstalling Firefox, but it still doesn't work. I don't know it is a helpful information, but the other browsers (like Chrome and Opera) also don't open.

I have just spent a long time looking for PDFs I really need and when I closed Firefox it deleted every single PDF in my downloads folder (including ones that weren't downloaded during this session)

The PDFs weren't just opened as a website in Firefox, I've downloaded all of them as permanent files and just opened them in Firefox to confirm they work.

I have set my browser to automatically delete download history so I can't redownload them that way (and I would prefer to keep this setting on), however I have never set Firefox to automatically delete any kind of downloaded file (I don't know if this is even available in settings).

I have also checked my antivirus quarantine just in case, but it is empty so I doubt anything was deleted due to possibility of malware.

Is there any way to prevent Firefox from doing this and is there any way I could restore the files. At this point, I can't even begin to remember everything that I may have lost due to this bug and searching and downloading everything manually again may take me days.

Suddenly NY Times links think I am a bot, or there is a java problem, or I am clicking too fast (huh?), and I am being blocked. This started around the same time as the last update. Help! Thanks.....

Firefox 140 I use Tree Style Tabs for my tabs, and have for a long time. I updated to 140 and now, at the top of the sidebar is "Tree Style Tab X". Clicking X closes Tree Style Tab and the sidebar. My question. Is there a way to not have Tree Style Tabs and the top of the sidebar, but return to "BookmarksHome" which was at the top previously? Appreciate any help or ideas.
