Greetings...

I have noticed in my Windows 10 Task Manager that Firefox has an excessive number of processes active when Firefox is started with only one empty tab. By excessive, I found eleven (11) Firefox processes today, and I have yet to even start using Firefox.

I have only a simple Theme enabled and no Extensions enabled in my Firefox. I have tried deselection of the "Use recommended performance settings" but this does not appear to help. Disablement of my Theme increased the number of Firefox processes.

Any idea how I can significantly reduce the number of Firefox processes that appear in my Task Manager when I use Firefox? I really prefer to use Firefox as my go-to web browser, but lately it has become troublesome at times.

Thank you in advance for your help with the above problem. Take care...

It appears that I have a zombie Firefox browser running because when I close the browser using the top right 'X' button, the Firefox processes are still running when I check Task Manager.

If I end the Firefox task and reopen Firefox the first attempt seems to be stuck crashing because there's no crash log, but I can see in the task manager there's a crashhelper. A second attempt opens just fine, but the issue with that is my previously opened browsers are gone even with the setting to reopen them is enabled.

I've tried reinstalling, disabling my extensions, and updating Java, but none of these resolve the issue.

Why is my website page loading slowly in Firefox?

Hi Mozilla Community,

I run a food-focused website that showcases restaurant menus, and I’m currently having trouble with one specific page—https://olive-garden-menu-with-prices.us/—which loads significantly slower in Firefox compared to other browsers like Chrome or Edge.

The page is mainly text and optimized images, and I’ve minimized scripts as much as possible. Still, Firefox seems to hang while rendering or takes a long time to fully display content. Could this be due to any specific Firefox rendering behavior, caching issues, or something I may be overlooking?

Any tips on how to debug or optimize page performance specifically for Firefox would be really appreciated. Thank you!

When I search for something, the location bar no longer shows the address and the star to add bookmarks unless I click on a little globe. I installed a Firefox update not long ago but this has only just happened. I'd like to be able to just bookmark searches like I used to.

I don't want to change the way my browser is now working, especially by some unknown AI system. Tell me how to stop or delete the new unwanted option.

I left Win Edge last year because they do the same " I(MPROVEMENTS" that I did not want. Shame on Mozilla for doing the same thing!

Recently, after the newest Windows 11 update, Twitch hasn't been loading correctly, the tab looks as if it finished loading, but the page gets stuck in endless loading, no other site has this problem, and it happens even opening links to Twitch channels directly. I've added and screenshot of the problem.

I'd love some help or at least know if this is a problem on Twitches end or not. Thanks.

In the latest update, the search engine toggle needs me to use the mouse. First, I just had to press ↓ and then toggle between the search engines. Now, I have to do an Shift + Tab to scroll through the list, which is tedious!

Can the old functionality be brought back or maybe a shortcut added for the toggle?

When I Hover over the Firefox Icon in my Taskbar, it shows a Thumbnail of the Windows I have open. If I have a bunch of windows it dispenses with the Thumbnails in favor of a Text based Description. I'd prefer it did that all the Time. I don't care much for the Thumbnails. Is there a Setting someplace that I can make Text the Default view ?

For the past several months I'm unable to Login to Mozilla Foxfire from my Desktop. The URL I'm using is: http://www.my.yahoo.com - it then switches to https://signin.att.com and I get the following message: "AT&T - It's not you, it's us. We can't complete your request right now, please try again."

Regardless how often I attempt to Login, it's useless. I'm obligated to go to Google Chrome to access my Yahoo Mail & Calendar. Have gone many years without a hitch, now this. As a long time supporter of Mozilla Foxfire I would appreciate any help y'all could offer. Thank you. esaviles@sbcglobal.net

Hello,

I have the latest version (140) of Firefox installed on a Windows 11 laptop with the latest Windows updates. It works fine for my user (who, BTW, has admin privileges) but it won't even start for my wife's Windows user. To be precise, "won't start" means that when you try to launch it it sometimes looks like it's trying to create a window but immediately closes it with no error messages, no crash reports, no logs, nothing at all. It won't even start from the Run menu with any command line flag like -p, -ProfileManager or even -safe-mode, I tried all of them.

Other things I've tried: 1) Check the Windows event logs. Nothing. 2) Run sfc /scannow to check for corrupt system files. 3) Uninstall Firefox, delete the Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder, and re-install it. 4) Move the entire Firefox folder inside %appdata% to a temporary folder outside users. Firefox recreates it, creates 2 new profiles and dies silently again! 5) ...and a lot of other things that I read online and do not remember anymore.

At this point I'm at a loss and I'm an IT guy. Of course I have no idea how this happened, the browser used to work fine up until a week ago or so. Other software that might interfere is Malwarebytes, but it works fine for my user, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
