Okay, I know this is a weird, super niche, and kind of ridiculous question, but who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it too? Basically, I want two browser windows open, when I open a tab, or switch a tab in one window, it does the exact same thing in the second window. Maybe someone knows if this is possible.

Since I'm sure you are scratching your head right now, I have a multi-monitor setup, two horizontal and one vertical. At any given time I have 6 to 10 windows open across the three of them, and another 10 to 15 windows minimized (and for what it is worth, currently 132 tabs, but that's about to go up after I finish this post). In some cases I work off of lists, and in all cases I have so many tabs open TreeStyleTabs is a must.

For working off a list, or for navigating between tabs, a longer vertical window is preferred; however, for working on an account or using portals a wider horizontal window is usually preferred, with some exceptions. I'd love it if I could get the best of both worlds, have the same window on two monitors, that way I can use the vertical aspect of it to reference my lists, and open/navigate between accounts, but actually work on the accounts on my horizontal window.

If this is impossible, I won't lose sleep over it, but if this is possible, omg is my productivity going to go up by like 1%, which is around 30 to 45 minutes a week, that's like over a free day of work a year.

this browser does nothing but eat and eat recourse. no matter what i do, no action ever stops it from hogging nearing 1/3rd of the resources of my machine all the damn time! And i dont want to hear virus or malware anything. i have swept, checked, and swept again. nothing is ever fucking found. And i do not trust the other browsers. so i guess i am just OFF THE INTERNET

While working in Firefox with AOL.com email, the color wheel frequently spins in several ways: when I scroll a window to read more, when I close a window, when I click on links, even when I just sweep the cursor to a different position. I've tried AOL.com on a different browser with no problem, and I've cleared cashe and history with no improvement.

Hi, I cleach my imac cache every time I start theiMAC and also install the latest firefox version. I constantly have problems opening pdf and not it has stopped opening.

How can I fix this or troubleshot? Can I speak to someone?

Thanks

For a few months I have been having sporadic issues with my cpu running at 100%. I believe Firefox is the culprit. When I open task manager Firefox is running 30 processes with power usage very high. Usually one of the top processes in the drop down is very high. To fix this I have been ending the task of the highest usage process running. In all cases that has brought the cpu down to like 10% and has fixed the issue temporarily. If I'm not at my computer for some time, it will not resolve on it's own. I'm not sure what info you need but will provide. Could this be a bug with the current version of ESR?

I have tried the fixes including: Disable/Enable Hardware Acceleration, Enable Strict Tracking Protection, Delete content-prefs.sqlite file, Check Firefox hardware acceleration, Disable resource consuming extensions and themes, etc.

I am using Firefox ESR 128.6.0 and have been for years (ESR)

As the title says, all Google accounts keep getting logged out after I close the browser. However, if I am logged in with another app associated with the Google account, it doesn’t get logged out. What’s the issue here?

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.

I have rebooted.

I have reset.

I have cleared the cache.

I checked my anti-virus.

Your browser moves like a drunk snail.

Slow.

Hanging.

not responding.

I do not expect a corporate or professional response.

but sometimes a human contact is helpful.

I downloaded a PDF and used Firefox to view the file. I'm trying to find key words in the PDF and I always get phrase not found. As a test I inputted a word I found in the document but find in page stated phrase not found. What am I doing wrong? I remember that I have used that feature in the past and it worked.

Hi Community,

I am writing as recently I noticed that extreme amount of data was written on my system SSD. Here we are talking about 100-200GB of data written daily. In resource monitor I found that Firefox is writing this amount of data in its Profiles folder, but only when Facebook's main page is open. I also noticed that when only the Messenger part is open the problem goes away. Currently I symlinked the Profiles folder onto one of my HDDs so the data is being written there, however I would like to know if anyone experienced the same issue and what could be the solution for this. I completely reinstalled Firefox, my installed extensions are Adblock Plus, Enhancer for youtube and Facebook Container.

I’m getting “'Gah. Your tab just crashed’” basically every other website I open (including this one). I don’t notice anything in common with the websites I’m visiting and it’s happening in the troubleshooting/safe mode as well. I’m using the most recent version of Firefox and am running MacOS 12.6.

When attempting to perform a google search, if I include the text "c++" in my search, the "++" is always chopped off. It doesn't matter where it is in the search text and also happens if it is the only thing in the search. This also happens if i choose a suggested search topic that has the ++ in the search topic. I do not experience this with Edge and i do not experience this with Firefox installed on another computer. I am signed into the same profile with both computers. I am running Windows 11.

I can repro this issue with +, #, and &. Other special characters seem fine.
