Windows 11 24H2

On computer restart or program restart, firefox moves all previous windows from primary monitor to secondary monitor.

Before restart, I usually have 10+ windows open on primary monitor and 1-3 windows open on secondary monitor. After restart, all windows are opened on secondary monitor and I manually move them each to the primary monitor. It seems like they open on primary monitor, but immediately move to the secondary monitor.

If I make each individual window a small window on its corresponding monitor and shut down firefox, the windows will open on the correct monitor on the next restart...but if those windows are minimized, they will open on the wrong monitor on restart.

Is there any way to fix this or automate the window moving process?

Thanks

I really like Firefox - I just have to say that up front. I don't want to have to change to another browser, but...

I see articles going back to at least 2020 about CPU usage running up to 100% and multiple processes open that at least double or triple the number of tabs that are open. My recent experience is that this phenomenon is getting worse and I'm wondering if it will ever be resolved, or if I have to look elsewhere.

Thanks

Bonsoir,

J'ai plus les onglets internets qui s ouvrent au dessus de ma page mais sur mon onglet épinglé. Comment faire pour y remedier?

Cordialement,

Hi, On a particular website that I frequent the grid of a graph being displayed are "fuzzy". When I view the site with Edge, it looks fine. I recently upgraded from v127 to v133 and am now experiencing the issue. I am running on Windows 10 Pro.

Hello,

I am using the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origin ad blocker. About six months ago, I was able to open multiple windows simultaneously without any memory issues. However, recently I’ve noticed that even when I open just a single window, over time, my RAM usage climbs to nearly 98% of my 16GB memory.

I’ve tried restarting my entire computer, but it didn’t help. I also attempted enabling hardware acceleration, but that didn’t resolve the issue either. I’m not sure what else to do and would greatly appreciate your help.

Your browser is incredibly convenient to use, but it’s consuming too many resources, and I’m worried I may have to switch browsers, which I’d hate to do. I moved over from Chrome and was really happy with Firefox.

I often use YouTube videos in multiple tabs, but this was never a problem before. I also tried the trick of adding a new system variable and setting it to 1 (to reduce multi-process operations), but that didn’t make a difference either.

I’d be grateful for any advice you can provide.

Best regards, Dan

My computer died about three days ago, and firefox had three windows open. When I rebooted the computer again, firefox automatically started up, and the flyout panel thing that shows up when you right click on an app claimed that all three windows returned. However, only two of them were actually accessible, and clicking on the app to move between them and the F3 window confirmed this. Clicking on the third window accomplishes nothing, reveals nothing, and just moves the little checkmark around in that flyout panel. Closing the other two windows before restarting firefox does not open a new window because it thinks one is already there, but I cannot in any way see or access it outside of its label in the flyout panel. Even hitting "Show All Windows" just shows the window I am typing this in. What am I supposed to do here?

Firefox.exe task is suspended. I cannot end it with task manager, and I cannot kill it with taskkill. The message i get is as follows:

C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /f /pid 4196 ERROR: The process with PID 4196 could not be terminated. Reason: Access is denied.

Due to this, i cannot completely clean the cache. Please help

Whenever I use (control + shift + V) to paste to the format in my google sheet it inputs the value into the cell below my selected cell. Please see my attachment.

It may look like I selected both cells but I made several attempts & got the same result.

For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

When i try to print parts of a long g-mail conversation, I mark the part, right cklick on the marking and press "print marking" (or whatever it's called in english). Only about 2/3 of the marking is showed in the printing pre view and printed. Works fine in Crome, but I prefere Firefox. I have tried to re-setting firefox, no improvment. What can I do to print what I want?

Best regards, Johan

I'm not sure what type of issue this is, so hopefully I’ve posted it in the right place!

Devices:

• Firefox version 133.0 on 2022 M2 MacBook Pro OS Sequoia 15.1.1
• Firefox version 133.0 on iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 18.1.1 (*for reference, of checking issue, not where issue is occurring)

Issue Breakdown: While updating my bookmark's tags in Bookmark Manager, my tags all but disappeared and other strange things started happening.

• My tags aren't in the sidebar menu of the Bookmark Manager at all. See Screenshot 1.
• Already tagged bookmarks retained the tags, but I’m unable to edit, add, or remove bookmark tags at all. When the bookmark is selected, the bookmark’s tags, nor any other tags, appear in a list under the bookmarks tags. See Screenshot 2.
• I can locate all bookmarks with the same tag by searching bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager.
• I can move and rename pre-existing bookmarks.
• I can add new bookmarks (confirmed by the blue star beside the address bar on the main browser after exiting and re-entering), but I cannot find those bookmarks anywhere in Bookmark Manager.
• My mobile bookmarks folder isn’t shown in Bookmarks Manager, but I can view 11 bookmarks in my Mobile Bookmarks folder on my phone’s Firefox application.

I’ve tried the following:

• restarting Firefox by quitting the application
• refreshing Firefox through the browser [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-se...]
• restarting my computer
• clearing the startup cache
• clearing the cache [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache|link]
• restarted in Troubleshoot Mode [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubl...]
• uninstalling then reinstalling Firefox software

I have no idea what is wrong with it or what is going on. What else can I do?

Hello,

I'm trying to update to firefox version 133.0. My O.S. is Ubuntu 20.04. I've untarred the tarball to ~/firefox/firefox-133.0/.

If I startup the new firefox, I receive the following error message: "libxul.so, undefined symbol: gdk_window_show_menu".

I also tried firefox version 120.0, except the result was the same.

How can I fix this?

thanks.

I am setting up my new windows 11 based foxfire page. My old computer is windows 10 and my firefox page has a menu bar on the top with: file edit view history bookmarks tools help. I can figure out how to do this same thing on my page on this new computer

I have a typical search bar at the top of the browser window. Recently, as soon as I begin to type a search, the bar expands to cover the whole top of the browser window. How do I stop this from happening? It's unnecessary and irritating. Firefox 133.0, Win 11

Hello, After a combined Windows and Firefox update, my sidebar panel that I use to access my tabs and other extensions primarily sits behind the webpage itself. I can still see my tab icons, and when I hover over it to expand I can see that it does in fact expand, but the information is displayed behind the current webpage. I've attached a couple images to show what I mean. In the first image it shows how it normally would look, just the tab icons. In the second it shows how it is behind the webpage. You can see the start of the tab names and at the top you can see that it's expanded, as it's covering the previous, next, refresh buttons.

The sidebar extension for the tabs is called Sidebery.

Can anyone help me fix this behavior?

Thanks.

I used goggle meet 3 times today. The first time, it worked just fine. The second time, worked even better than the first. The third time it says I don't have a camera even though it worked earlier. I can't seem to figure it out! I have let all the permissions allow my camera but it still won't work...

When I try to use Google Meet in Firefox I get the messages "No Camera Found" then "Camera Is Off". I have given meet.google.com access to the camera in Firefox and I have given access to desktop apps to use the camera in my Windows 11 settings. I'm not sure what's going on. The camera works fine in Meet if I open Meet in Chrome.
