I use Brave, Firefox, Firefox Developer Edition and Thunderbird. Brave: 600mb Firefox Dev: 600mb Thunderbird: 200mb Firefox: 800mb Why is Firefox using too much memory? Especially as I am running Firefox Dev as a direct comparison. I don't have any plugins on Firefox. Firefox Dev has uBlock Origin alone. Brave has a few plugins.

Home Internet speed via cable 500 Mbps. When checking the Internet speed through the Firefox browser (version 133.0.3), incoming and outgoing about 250 Mbps. That is, the browser cuts the speed twice. When checking the speed through Google Chrome (version 145.0.7632.160), the Internet speed is about the declared 500 Mbps. Please help solve the problem with Internet speed through the Firefox browser.

Duck duck search via Firefox has become painfully slow, although if Google search is used the speed is OK. I have cleared caches, cookies etc without any improvement. Firefox 148.0.2, Windows10. Is this a recognised current problem?

You might be wondering why we lumped fractions and greatest common fractions together.
The fraction

The first time the inline table creates a new line second time inserts in fraction where it is (which is how I want it) How do I prevent it from forcing a new line?

There used to be a much more useful interface for clearing specific browsing data (the landscape-oriented one). The new interface is far less detailed to the point of strictly limiting its functionality. There used to be a config setting ("privacy.sanitize.useOldClearHistoryDialog") that could toggle which interface to use, but as of an update in the last week (I've been away without a computer for a while), that toggle does nothing. Is there any other setting that can make this feature actually useful again?

As of yesterday my Firefox browser no longer displays some screens within Amazon Prime correctly. It displays what should be images as text, which is difficult to read, unlike Microsoft Edge, which displays the Amazon webpage correctly. I am running Windows 10 with a support extension through October 2026, so could it be an update from Microsoft Windows or Mozilla Firefox that has caused the problem. Thanks for your help.

Firefox will only start if I sign in as an administrator. It doesn't connect to the internet, and I can't get to the help screen. I did a refresh but that hasn't help. If I uninstall and then reinstall a new copy correct the problem? How do I save and reinstall my bookmarks and settings? I love Firefox and prefer it over other browsers. But I need to fix it and any help you provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

I’m Harmandeep Singh Kandhari from India, A Health and Wellness Motivator and Now, Recently, my Mozilla Firefox browser has started using much more memory than usual, and multiple tabs cause noticeable slowdowns. I haven’t installed many new extensions. What steps can I take to identify the cause and optimize Firefox performance without resetting my entire browser profile? 🦊💻

Thanks, Harmandeep Singh Kandhari

I have purchased the windows 10 OS with extended updates and am running version 22H2 os build 19045.6937 do you have any suggestions on fixing this problem? When I am in my gmail account and using Firefox and I need to do a password reset that is when I receive the above error message.

When I'm on my phone and signed into my Firefox I want to be able to send tabs to my desktop. I'll click the three dots on my Samsung 20fe, click share, and click send to device.

I've tried logging out and logging back in. on both devises
