Firefox Community Forum

when clicking on an icon that is going to send an email, Firefox defaults to Outlook. I do not have Outlook nor do I want it. I want Firefox to default to my Yahoo mail account. I checked the Settings/General/Applications window for the mailto option but it is not there. How can I change the default mail from Outlook to Yahoo in Firefox (using windows 11).

Since one of the latest updates, Firefox keeps randomly showing me a popup saying "pin this tab", pointing to a tab I just opened. I close it with its X button, but after a while it just pops up again. I don't want to pin a tab, ever - I have bookmarks for a reason and I don't see any point in this feature. How do I stop this incredibly annoying popup from bugging me constantly to do something I never want to do?

bold textI have created a new profile, uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, flushed the DNS, always deleted cookies et al on closing. When I try and sign on I get a msg saying site unavailable, but when I go to the laptop sign on without any problems. Also on my desktop if I use Edge to logon to the site I am successful.

In Firefox's Task Manager, how do I know which tab is using which subframe(s) process?

For example, let's say I open Firefox and with only one single tab open, I open the following web page: https://audioplugin.deals/product/best-of-zampler-collection/

That page apparently includes content from several third-party websites because when I open it, Firefox's Task Manger shows processes for the following:

https://audioplugin.deals https://cloudflare.com https://google.com https://hcaptcha.com https://soundcloud.com https://stripe.com https://stripe.network https://stripecdn.com

The process for "https://audioplugin.deals" is the only process with a tab. All of the other processes are subframe(s) only, with no mention of which tab is using them.

With only one tab open, I intuitively know that all of these processes must be used by that one tab. But like most people, I browse using multiple tabs, and once you open multiple tabs, it becomes (as far as I can tell) impossible to determine which subframe(s) process is used by which tab. This makes it impossible to determine which tab is behaving improperly or erratically when there are issues (for example, when one of those subframe(s) processes is consuming an unreasonably large amount of memory or CPU cycles).

The new version of Download helper is uncommissioned for YouTube. I have tried everything including reinstalling, clearing cookies and catch etc. How can I just revert back to prior version as this seems to be a degraded version?

I am just an average end user and want to alert you to my problems and would love a solution. I am sorry that I don't have the kind of specificity in the details which might help (I am too busy doing other things and when firefox becomes too much of a pain, I generally close it and switch to another browser). I am providing my general observations. On my updated windows 10 64 bit system, firefox v148 seems to have made the browser unusable for me. Other browsers do not suffer similarly (Chrome, Edge, Opera, duckduckgo). I have had these types of issues with Firefox in the past, but they resolved with prior updates. I am at the point of switching to another browser - I hate the thought of it, but Chrome seems to be the most stable and functional. Symptoms:

• Firefox browser and the computer gradually become slower as firefox starts hogging cpu and memory and starts using a lot of power
• extensions stop working - eg, Keeper extension stops filling fields or fills incorrectly, Malwarebytes extension seems less responsive, running background sounds makes things even worse (https://www.mynoise.net/) and web pages with continuous updates (eg, map.purpleair.com) stop working altogether
• other pages stop loading, load with errors ('bad connection') or load very slowly, especially, but not always, those with more security, eg, my bank or retirement funds sites.
• after i close Firefox and start fresh, symptoms resolve, then rinse and repeat.

The previous version worked great and seemed to solve similar issues I have had with earlier releases. I assume the last stable release for me was one of the 147 versions. but when things are going well (which is most of the time), I'm not watching closely, or at all.

Could someone please help me retrieve my crash report history? My Firefox crashes more than 10 times a day. When I check **about:crashes**, it doesn’t show any reports right now, although I saw some there a few days ago. Is there any way to recover those reports so I can submit them here for further guidance from experts?

I use Firefox and Chrome to access Jigsaw Planet. Firefox will not let me move a puzzle from one album to another. Screen turns gray. It will also not let me change to full-screen. Screen turns black. I have no problem doing either in Chrome. Dell Desktop PC - Windows 11

Recently, whenever I put a video in PiP, the whole browser freezes. I'm not sure what causes it. The PiP player itself is playing and working fine, it's the browser as a whole that freezes completely. I can play/pause and even pop it back to its tab, but when I do, the browser is inaccessible to me because it freezes, despite the video still playing normally. I can only terminate the browser with Task Manager, otherwise the video will continue playing and the Firefox process goes on the background.

I have tried Googling for a way to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Some of the recommendations were to turn Hardware Acceleration off, allow autoplay, upgrade GPU drivers, and test in Troubleshoot Mode. I have autoplay completely off (including in about:config) and gave an exception to YouTube. I don't think this is the problem though, because I've had it set up this way for a long time, and the browser freezing only started happening recently. I have had Hardware Acceleration off for a while too, so it's not because of that. My GPU drivers are up-to-date (Nvidia). The browser still freezes in Troubleshoot Mode.

The problem is not limited to YouTube. Wherever I can pop the player off with PiP, it will freeze the whole browser (like Twitch or any other site with video player capabilities). I tried playing a video in a different browser and it worked just fine with no freezing, it only happens in Firefox.

I noticed that the common issue people report is the PiP player itself freezing, but my case is the exact opposite. The PiP plays fine while the rest of the browser freezes. I really like this feature and don't want to turn it off if possible. I like to pop the video out and watch it play while I scroll around on my desktop.

You say to go to the download page and my version of Windows will be detected & you'll give me the correct version. However, IE 8 in Windows 7 won't go to your download page. So, I need to download from another computer and copy the file to the Windows 7 computer. This doesn't work when you detect that the computer doing the download is a newer computer. How do I tell your system to give me the Windows 7 installer?

I can access my credit union using firefox on my phone, or even this computer when using MSN. I can NOT reach my credit union on this computer using firefox. I get a 403 forbidden message.

firefox removed my bookmarks and they had no right to do so. This upsets me big time, and like everything else they have no phone line to cll for support. firefox is a real pice of work.
