Firefox Community Forum

I've been trying to get the browser toolbox window to work correctly for a couple of days now and I can't figure out what's going on. When I invoke the toolbox window with the shortcut key or through the menu entry the window pops up and asks for permission to connect (I click 'ok' in this box) but the window gets stuck before loading the toolbox ui, screenshot of what I'm seeing is attached.

I'm on windows 11 pro 25h2 and firefox 159.0.

I should note that this is the same behavior in a clean temp profile in firefox, as well as the same behavior in other firefox based browser, such as librewolf.

Does anyone here know what I can do to get this working?

Thanks for any help and let me know if you need any other info.

I am trying to retrieve my passwords and bookmarks on my PC but every time I try to log in the program says "NOT RESPONDING ". I did manage to do it about a week ago but they have gone again.

This is a little difficult to describe, but In Firefox 159 on macOS, the screen very quickly "flashes" when hitting the "Page Up" or "Page Down" buttons on the keyboard. I didn't notice this as much before. It's subtle, but it's something that jumped out at me when I recently opened Firefox to try it again. This is different behavior from Chromium-based browsers, which are possibly painting the screen's new contents faster? I'm not sure what it is, but it's a little distracting.

My macOS golden gate 27.2 restarted without permission while I was away. Admittedly I had a lot of tabs open. When I restarted Firefox (159.0), it appeared to have lost the active tabs but restored the minimized ones. But when I selected each of them, they started to expand and then vanished. The restore previous session and recently closed tabs/windows options were greyed out. I tried restarting Firefox and the whole laptop, and it returned to the same state. HOWEVER, right clicking the Firefox icon provides a list of windows, and clicking “show all windows” displays the windows I had open, so it looks like they’re not entirely lost? When I select a window it does everything to look like it’s going to open- including greying out another application open behind it- but it just doesn’t open. Interestingly pressing “more troubleshooting information” or “new tab” seems to open a new tab in the existing window in “show all windows”.

I also tried this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup No noticeable effect, I think the earliest backup was made too late.

My browser is using 2,3 Gb of extra ram it goes away by restarting but comes back in 5-10 min. It occurs wathing twich, i have tried disabling extentsions but it doesn't work. in about:memory the readout is as thoug it is keaping an extra copy of open browser files in ram.

Hello ! I'm confronted to a very weird behavior of Firefox, on Ubuntu 24.04.

When I'm clicking on a link in a mail of pdf document, the page opens in Firefox, I can navigate and click in it but when I try to type something (for instance to enter my id to connect), the keyboard does not consider I'm in Firefox but still in the previous application (Thunderbird etc). To be able to type something in Firefox, I need to go back to another window (alt tab) then go back to Firefox manually...

This also occurs if Firefox hides the other application on the screen. Note that from the colors of the windows (the tone of grey), I looks like that Firefox is the active window and no longer Thunderbird.

I tried to summary this in the following image.

windows 11 Firefox . Unable to close tabs on X button when multiple tabs are open. Occurs after sleep state. Solution is right click and then close each tab or close application.

159.0 (aarch64) still has many issues across sites.

I have cleared the cache on these sites. I have removed cookies. Restarted the browser. Restarted the computer.

On Instagram and YouTube especially, when you click their tab, many times the page is now blank, you canot reload it, it just dissappears. If ti is there, clicking around is extremely slow if not unresponsive.

It is a tad better in the latest update, a small tad, but still very much broken from previous release.

I have a screen recording

안녕하세요

파이어 폭스를 애용하고 있는 한국인입니다

저는 최근 (약 2026년 10월 동안) 파이어 폭스를 사용할때 컴퓨터 팬 돌아가는 소리가 계속 들린다는 사실을 꺠달았습니다

작업관리자를 통해 확인해봤는데 제 컴퓨터에 설치된 램 64GB 중 34GB를 파이어 폭스가 사용하고 있다는 사실을 알게 되었습니다

확실하게 버그 같아 보이고 그 정도의 용량이 파이어 폭스에 필요한지 모르겠으나 만약 의도한 설정이 아니라면 꼭 고쳐주세요

사진을 첨부합니다 이 사진이 찍을 당시 파이어 폭스로 켜져있는것은 유튜브 창 두개 커뮤니티 창 하나 였습니다

감사합니다

I have the sidescroll of my logitech Mx Master 3 mapped to volume. Since the latest big update of mozilla the side scroll volume controls do not work when mozilla is open.

The problem of hanging on specific web pages but not always in the same place greatly increased 11/22/2026 running Firefox 115.38ESR under Windows 7 so I suspect that it is due to some widespread update and a new esr update is needed. 115.43.1esr did not help. Sometimes it happens while loading a page, sometimes when attempting to scroll the page and sometimes when entering data into a field.

I've used Firefox for years and am embarrassed to submit this question via Chrome. Lately, almost invariably after updating, Firefox shows "not responding" if you click anywhere in the window. Eventually, maybe after half an hour, it does respond, and everything works like it always did. If this is normal behavior for Firefox, so be it, but it seems peculiar to me. Advice?
