Been having an issue since around April 2025 with tabs crashing on certain websites (Not All) when browsing. Does not appear to have any pattern as to how long i have been on a site before it crashes.

All it says in the crash info is  : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

Noticed that in the crash info it says my computer has 140 terrabytes of virtual memory (LOL)

I am using Firefox v140.0.1 Snap on Kubuntu 25.04, Kernel 6.14. Since the Firefox update in the past couple days, the mouse cursor has started appearing huge and slightly blurry (as though the image is scaled up) in Firefox and nowhere else. The size is visually annoying, and occasionally difficult to know exactly where I'm clicking (trying to move the caret in a text box for example). It also appears to be a different style from the main desktop cursor, the shape and color are ever so slightly different, but this may already have been the case and I simply didn't notice because of the previously small size. Firefox doesn't have its own built in cursor settings that I can find, nor obey the system cursor settings. I have a high DPI display so perhaps it is being over-compensated for? e.g. both the system and Firefox are scaling the cursor up, assuming the other hasn't done it already, resulting in a cursor that's too big.

On any video player that has a gradient, it breaks when I full-screen the video, showing as solid semi-opaque bars instead of the intended gradients.

This happens on any video player I've used that has a gradient, and is most noticeable on YouTube due to the double gradient.

It displays normally when I use snipping tool, so apologies for the bad quality on the second image.

I use Ublock Origin and Dark Reader, but this behaviour doesn't change when either is disabled.

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?

браузер не открывает один сайт. остальные сайты открываются. удалял кеш и куки. отключал антивирус. добавлял сайт в файл hosts. А в приватном режиме фаерфокс открывает этот сайт. помоги, что можно сделать? the browser doesn't open one site. the rest of the sites open. deleted cache and cookies. disabled antivirus. added the site to the hosts file. And in private mode, firefox opens this site. help, what can I do?

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.

Certain colours have changed after an update to version 140.0. Most noticeable (and barely readable for me) is the unvisited textlink colour: it was light grey but is now suddenly light blue/cyan? See screenshot with Google Search as example. How can I change this back? The only place in FF settings for colours is under Contrast settings but that's unusable: it overrides settings of sites, altering their layout. Strangely enough there are no General settings to alter colours?

I recently noticed that some of my add-ons are not doing their jobs. I looked in about:addons and sure enough, they're disabled. I can flip the toggle to enable them, but if I refresh the page, their state is reverted. I have not found a way to actually enable them.

I pressed the restart button after a pending update then tried everything again without change.

I'm aware that some add-ons can be marked as potentially unsafe or incompatible with the current browser version. That's not the case here. Nothing in the UI indicates there's a problem. Many of the add-ons have the recommended trophy icon. I removed and reinstalled uBlock Origin and Dark Reader. That seemed to fix it for now.

Hello,

 I have Firefox 140.0 on Windows 11 23H2.  I just noticed that the Favorites Sidebar text and background are both dark.  The History Sidebar does not have this problem.  Changing either Firefox or Windows color scheme has no effect.  I'm pretty sure this happened with the latest update. 

Thanks

allow audio and video is preset as the default, however, it is still muted. when you got to mute audio it won't play the video, and no audio/video seems to be working fine, I've followed all the guides, tried everywhere I'm aware of in firefox and nothing seems to work

Hello there!

Trying out Firefox in Windows 11 after not having used it in several years, and right away I am faced with a major problem that I cannot figure out: I am not receiving Gmail notifications!

I keep Gmail open as my first tab, at all times, as seen in the first screenshot I've attached. In Gmail itself, in said tab, I have gone to the SETTINGS wheel -> See All Settings and scrolled down to the Notifications area, and clicked the link that says Enable Desktop Notifications. Firefox prompted me about the notifications, and I of course chose "Allow". As seen in the second screenshot I've attached, the offer to enable desktop notifications isn't even there anymore because it has been allowed. And notifications are set to ALL emails in the main tab, with a loud sound to play as well just so I don't miss it.

And lo and behold, the only notification I am getting is a blue dot under the pinned tab under the Gmail logo

There is no sound played that I've heard, but more importantly, no popups on my desktop and nothing waiting in my system notification center

I am using Windows 11 Enterprise

Thanks in advance for any assistance
