Firefox Community Forum

Greetings everyone,

I have 8gb of RAM installed on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro.

However, I'm always running out of RAM because Firefox is using almost all of it.

I'm unable to open any other App while I have Firefox running because there just isn't any RAM available. :( :( :( :( :(

I'm constantly trying to close tabs and windows, but I just wanted to know if there was another solution?

I've used other web browsers that have a "sleep tab" feature where the tab will use very little RAM if the user hasn't accessed it for about 15 seconds to 1minute.

What else can I do?

Thank you for any help!

Hey every time i go to Facebook it keeps going super slow and continues to display the prompt bar where it says this page is slowing your browser down. to speed up your browser stop this page.... well its every single page. and this is happening to me on a couple of computers. I have cleared cache and cookies. I've turned off enhanced tracking. I've also tried opening in a private window and still the same thing.

It's been a while, but I've seen this before. What causes this? Can i prevent it? The blank icons also appear next to the most of the affected addons in about:addons.

I was able to restore normality, at least for the moment, by disabling those addons, re-enabling, then restarting.

Firefox seems to crash repeatedly and generates no crash reports, just freezes up my pc. It works in troubleshooting mode but even after refreshing, the problem persists. Surprisingly, it will consistently crash if I go to `about:support` (except in troubleshooting mode). Any help would be appreciated!

Running Firefox 124.0.1 (64bit) on my Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045. Every time I open Firefox, it closes within a couple of seconds and then reopens by itself and keeps working. How can I fix this glitch?

I use WhatsApp in a Firefox web window so that I can copy, paste, and type using my keyboard. Suddenly beginning last week Firefox will not let me paste in the WhatsApp web window.

dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled is TRUE I still have the same issue in safe mode Ctrl-V, Shift insert, Right click & Paste, Right click & paste without formatting are all disabled.

It is only Firefox that has a problem (I can use WhatsApp in Chrome without issue). So far, it is only in WhatsApp (where paste is most important to me) that I have a problem.

I have Firefox 116.0.3 64 bit, the latest version, running in Windows 11, which is up to date.

Any ideas?

I've encountered a very weird behavior: when selecting where to save a file or selecting a file to upload, the browser hangs 100% of the time.

Even when I go to about:memory, click Load, the path selection window appears - regardless of whether I select a file or close the window, the browser hangs and the window stops responding. I tried waiting for several hours - to no avail. Only restarting helps. Same with the upload selection window - regardless of whether I selected a file to upload or closed the selection window, the browser hangs. Before freezing permanently, the mouse cursor stops moving, then lags around a bit before recovering.

I tried cleaning download history, cache, recreated profile, restarted without extensions, in safe mode, disabled antivirus - always the same result.

Please advise me, maybe someone has encountered something like this - I really don't want to start using Chrome. My OS is Windows 11. Thanks in advance.

The satellite imagery on google maps is mirrored diagonally, while the road map displays correctly over it. Win7, Firefox 108.0.2. started happening with Firefox 107.x.x and tried resetting Firefox, but no luck. Satellite imagery displays correctly in troubleshoot mode and private browsing. Cleaned out my cookies and cache, but no dice in regular browser.

Anyone have experience with that?

Firefox has been crashing multiple times per day for several weeks now. It used to be fine, hardly ever crashing. I can't think of anything I'm doing differently since before the crashes started. I can only assume that it started after a specific Firefox update. I do have a lot of windows/tabs open at once, but that was never an issue in the past. Occasionally individual pages will crash, usually several at once. The entire software crashes all at once regularly as well. Sometimes the crash seems to cause other issues, such as my computer hanging up for a bit, or my monitors going blank and the graphics system seeming to reset, before Firefox actually crashes. I don't always get a crash report dialogue when the whole thing crashes.

I keep my Windows and Firefox up to date. I tried turning off hardware acceleration, but I think that might have made it worse so I turned it back on. I cleared the caches (which took well over five minutes), and ran speedyfox a few times. I exit Firefox through File > Exit whenever I need to restart or run other heavy software.

Every time I run browser it messages me that downloaded file contains a virus or malware, even I deleted the file long time ago. I tried Ctrl+J "Remove from history", "Clear downloads" and Organize/Delete that entry - Nothing helps. Its deleting, but when I run Firefox its appears again and again. This bug is terrible annoying, please fix it.

I've used Google Maps 3d on this machine before. I don't use it all the time. Not sure at what point it stopped working, but sometime in the last 3-6 months.

Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 Firefox version 124.0 (64-bit) Hardware Acceleration is turned ON webgl.enable-renderer-query=TRUE webgl.enable-webgl2=TRUE webGL.disable=FALSE WebGL 2 Driver Renderer=Google Inc. (Intel) -- ANGLE (Intel, Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0, D3D11-10.18.10.5059)

Google Maps shows the Global View as greyed out so I'm unable to use 3D. Did a test on https://get.webgl.org/. I see the spinning cube.

Any suggestions?

Where is it? I had multiple failed downloads. It keeps failing over and over again right at the end of the download. I don't understand why? It's not a space issue, plenty of that. So how can I check what is the reason for failed download?

I got saved the .part file, which is 5.13 gigs (full download should be 5.3). If I try to retry the download it just immediately fails and deletes the .part file. Why?

I am having an issue in browser like most of the times when try to open sites even sometimes my own cavity back irons site the browser giving error "wait or close page" like this & sometimes browser crash suddenly and reopen. Why it's happens? kindly let me know the solution. Thanks.

In FF 107.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11, I'm finding that FF is suddenly not honoring my color profile, so everything looks over-saturated. I've tried using gfx.color_management.mode 1 (my typical setting) and 2 (the default), and neither seems to fix the issue. The same issue exists in a fresh profile. I'd roll back to test an earlier version of FF, but it seems that's no longer easily possible. Edge is displaying colors properly.

Any ideas or known bugs?

When loading a page from a domain I haven't recently visited, it will almost always return the "Server Not Found - Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site," error message. If I reload the page, however, it will load. Sometimes I have to reload 2-6 times before it works, but it always eventually succeeds. When it does work, it often times fails to load certain elements like fonts, images, embedded videos, and occasionally whole stylesheets--things that often require calls to third party domain. Again, reloading the page (sometimes multiple times) will cause the page to load properly.

I have already tried:

• Different browsers on same computer (issue does not occur)
• Firefox on different computers with different OS on same network (issue does not occur)
• Cleared cache (issue persists)
• Troubleshooting/safe mode (issue persists)
• Deleted prefs file (issue persists)
• Disabled DNS prefetching (issue persists)

Dear Firefox Your browser is generally excelent. But you MUST immediately fix your problem with the danish Mitid access. Every dane uses Mitid acessing banks, public websites, healtcare etc etc.
