I have no problem accessing other sites, so what can I do to get the resolved?

Some sites have scrambled text. I've attached two images of what I see when I visit this link: https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/The_Calamity

When I inspect the HTML, the text shows up as it should (unscrambled English). I checked my default language settings and they are set to en-US. I tried disabling extensions one by one but nothing seemed to have an effect. However, a private browsing window didn't have that issue.

Firefox browser does not open when I click on the short cup. Instead it opens 2 small windows, one is a website I visited previously and the other is Firefox settings. Why is this happening? I have Windows 10 on my computer but that should not have anything to do with the Firefox browser or search engine not opening. When it opened the small screen that only showed Firefox settings I clicked it to open in full screen and now there is no option to make the screen smaller or exit the Mozilla support page. And, now with this full screen I can't even do a screen shot to show you what I am talking about. Does anybody know what is going on with this?

Hallo,

ich habe regelmäßig das Problem, dass Firefox quasi meinen gesamten Rechner ausser gefecht setzt indem nahezu die gesamte CPU Leistung und der Arbeitsspeicher in Beschlag genommen werden. Ich surfe in der Regel mit sehr vielen Tabs. Ab ca. 100-150 Tabs benötigt Firefox bei mir zwischenzeitlich 10 GB Arbeitsspeicher und mehr und benutzt die CPU zu 80-90% sodass der Rechner teilweise kurzzeitig nicht mehr reagiert und einfriert. Besonders, wenn ich 100 Tabs und mehr auf einmal als Lesezeichen speichere (Tabs auch nur schließen, da der CPU Lüfter schon dauerhaft auf 100% läuft), friert der Rechner danach erstmal für 3-4 Minuten ein. Ich verstehe nicht, was Firefox die ganze Zeit im Hintergrund anstellt, während z.B. 250 Tabs geöffnet sind. Tabs vorzuladen macht bei der Anzahl keinen Sinn und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass man richtig voraussehen könnte, welchen Tab ich als nächste wieder aufrufe und dieser dann schon vorgeladen ist, ist eher gering. Gibt es Möglichkeiten z.B.: - den zur Zeit verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher sofort zu leeren, ohne einen Tab zu verlieren oder dass Firefox geschlossen wird? - dass es dann längert dauert, wenn ich einen Tab anklicke, da dieser ja nicht mehr im Cache ist, und erst wieder in den Arbeitsspeicher geladen werden muss, ist selbstverständlich und vollkommen in Ordnung. - Kann man irgendwo einstellen, wie viele Tabs z.B. im Hintergrund aktiv sein dürfen? - Kann man den zu verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher begrenzen? - und was passiert, wenn die Grenze erreicht wird? - Kann man irgendwo an den Zeiten oder ähnlichem schrauben, wonach Tabs automatisch entladen werden? Chrome friert Tabs scheinbar automatisch ein, zu mindest ist die performance dort besser.

Es bringt ja nichts, wenn alles versuche wird im RAM vorzuhalten, damit es sofort da ist, wenn der ganze Rechner damit in die Knie gezwungen wird und am Ende das gesamte System nicht mehr zu bedienen ist. Vor einigen Jahren ist Firefox bei zu vielen Tabs oft abgestürzt, dann hat sich schon gebessert.

Es fehlt mir an Einstellungen zur Anpassung, was Firefox im Hintergrund vorhalt und was Tabs machen dürfen, wenn sie nicht aktiv bedient bzw. benutzt werden. Manuelles "entladen" kommt für mich nicht in Frage, da es zu aufwändig ist, bei extremen "Multitabbing".

Ich bin seit meiner Kindeheit begeisterter Mozilla Fan (seit Gründung von Mozilla) und verteidige und empfehle Firefox wo ich nur kann. Aber dieses Performanceproblem besteht schon sehr lange, ist zwar über die letzten Jahre besser geworden, dennoch zwingt es mich schon fast, nach einer Alternative zu suchen.

Generell fehlen viele Funktionen für Extrem-Multi-Tab-Benutzer wie z.B., dass man Tabs in der Leiste markieren oder sortieren kann. Ein großer Segen wäre eine Funktion, dass Tabs, die man bereits als Lesezeichen gespeichert hat oder doppelt geöffnete Tab, direkt zu erkennen sind, ohne dass man den Tab aufruft. Aber andere Thema. Ich benutze auch keine vertikale Tableiste, nur die horizontale klassische Leiste oben am Bildschirmrand.

Ich wäre sehr Dankbar über Tips zur Lösung des Problem mit dem Arbeitsspeicher.

Grüße

Technical Problem With Firefox Browser & MarketSurge Stock Data Retrieval

I subscribe to MarketSurge, a stock data platform. It has run reliably on Firefox until last week. When I enter a stock symbol it brings up this error, and does not give the requested stock data from the MarketSurge live data platform. "[Autosuggest API Error] Failed to load info for symbol 'TTMI' ".

Has anyone seen that error before? Does it suggest a conflict within Firefox?

I have tried many things to troubleshoot and find the cause within Firefox, its settings and variations, and with Win 10. Nothing resolved. However, executing the Marketsurge platform in Chrome does not have a problem.

Background & Details: 1) Win 10 pc. with current updates. Firefox browser with current updates. 2)Firefox cache, history, and browsing deleted. Standard protection setting off. 3)Vpn off.

I would be deeply grateful for any insights re:Firefox that might be causing this problem, which did not exist prior to last week.

Thank you very much.

Hi, it looks like Firefox can copy links from selected tabs, using right-click menu. It doesn't work for non HTTP(S) addresses though, such as "file:///C:/Users/USER/etc."

Is it possible for non HTTP(S) addresses?

The add on Export Tabs URLs by AL is very good, has the option for non HTTP(S) addresses, but I couldn't get it to work for selected tabs, is it possible for selected tabs?

Dear Firefox.

I've now got 2 VPNs. One's called Proxy VeePN (that's how it spells it!) and the other one's your new one.

Proxy VeePN lets me use Pandora Music. Your one doesn't. Pandora can tell I'm in England on your one, it can't with Proxy VeePN (it thinks I'm in Switzerland, pretty sure.)

Why doesn't your one work with Pandora? I haven't tried it with anything else yet but then I really only use a VPN for Pandora Music anyway. Sometimes there's a couple of American games I play, but mainly Pandora. Why is it Proxy VeePN works with Pandora and yours doesn't?

Yours respectfully,

Chris, Windows 10 user cos I can't afford to buy a new computer that works with Windows 11 (I know there's a registry hack but I don't think this one's fast enough anyway, was designed for XP and tends to die a death with 10, let alone 11! Too slow. The computer, not its owner!)

Yours puzzledly,

Chris.

So every few days now if the free VPN is on I get my tabs locked into an error. I get that warning screen and sites stop loading or partly load, before the VPN update I never had to close Firefox this often, if left idle with the VPN on this seems to happen faster, I have left the VPN on overnight and I tend to nearly 90% of the time wake up to this error, if I disable the VPN fully I can pick up where I was but cutting it back on I have high odds that it will break, Firefox is idle while I do other stuff and the VPN is on, I get that error and I get to watch the weather app give me it's error. I have never had Firefox fight my antivirus It worked fine for ages, and only now do I need to reset Firefox by force now every 1 to 3 days. I use to be able to leave tabs open, but now they always error out in a few days. It could be other things, I just never had problems like this until now, it's so common and in the same time tables.
