For the past 15-16 days, Firefox has been consuming extremely high memory.

The problem: - When Firefox first opens, it starts normally at around 300-400 MB - But after using it for about 1 hour, a single Firefox window grows to 1-2 GB of RAM - This keeps increasing the longer I use it (memory leak behavior) - Currently Firefox (41 processes) is using over 5,131 MB total memory on my system it's normal but after 1 hour a single firefox window grows to 1-2 GB of RAM

What I have tried: - The issue happens consistently every day for the past 15-16 days - Other browsers like Chrome and Chromium use much less memory in comparison

System info: - OS: Windows 11 - Firefox version: latest version 148.0.0.0

Please help me fix this memory leak issue. It is making my system very slow.

Tell me a working method of getting firefox to change my password so as to stop me having to sign in every time I need to use it. Worked before but doesn't work now.

Still getting this error after page refresh on O'Reilley Auto Parts and a few other sites when searching. (I don't get this error when on O'Reilley com home page, but ONLY when searching for a part on O'Reilley and ONLY with Firefox on my desktop. This started just a few months ago. All ad blocks and U Block Origin are disabled). I don't get this error with Google Chrome on this Windows 7 PC or on my Android phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I use Firefox app in macos, android and ipados. The bookmarks across them are not synching automatically. I need to press sync manuelly to do. All apps are updated, all settings look fine. Please help me synch bookmarks across platforms. Thanks a lot.

First, the Dark Reader extension does not work properly. Often, pages are displayed in black. I have to disable it. Second: X pages are not displayed (boring problem with strict mode) In both cases, I have no problem using Duck Duck Go.

Hello, so I have Thunderbird installed on 2 Windows 11 PC's both are updated and operating with all updates! On my 1st (main) PC which I use 98% of the time Thunderbird has been running perfectly with IMAP and Oath2.

Last night on the 2nd PC I rarely use I opened Thunderbird and it started to download messages for awhile and all my 2026 up until OCT 2025 disappeared?

I logged into Yahoo Mail from a browser and yup all gone?

I sent a deleted by accident request to YAHOO and today all my mail had returned when I checked on my 1st (main) PC.

I started the 2nd PC and all was good, till it started downloaded messages again? And POOF right back to square one?

What's happening? Should I confirm that IMAP and OATH2 are enabled on that PC before I do something else? I've sent another DELETED request to Yahoo and at this point I'm thinking to just REMOVE Thunderbird all together on the 2nd PC.

I noticed that after the latest update, searching with the address bar no longer works as smoothly: autocomplete suggestions only appear in the bar when typing in a single character on a new tab, rather than updating with each additional keystroke. The suggestion only appears upon unselecting and reselecting the address bar. (see uploaded images)

Also, the search suggests seem to regenerate the entire dropdown menu with each keystroke, resulting in an unpleasant "flickering" appearance. It's not the biggest deal, but I don't recall firefox (mis)behaving this way before.

Can anyone help me with this?

This tab group notification seems to be bugged or something. It just keeps reminding me over and over and over and over.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does TB have a "complication" that I can put on my watch face? Most modern watch faces have slots for data provided by app developers like number of pending messages. Does TB have a complication for watch faces.

Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????

I have left Shortcuts toggled on, since I want to see the 18 shortcuts that I have manually pinned. Fine so far.

I have unchecked Sponsored Shortcuts, but I still am seeing sponsored shortcuts added to my dashboard whenever I open a new article. What am I doing wrong?

I want to send photographs from my Android phone to the "pictures" section of the Thunderbird e-mail program. The photos are going into that section but I can't see the picture itself as they just show wording as extensions. How do I get the actual picture to show up? How do I put my desired description of each of the "pictures" on the list along with the extension wording?

After updating Thunderbird to version 148.0 (64-bit), my system crashed. I rebooted and tried updating again. I am now sending and receiving emails normally from only one of my three AOL email addresses. I have attempted to reconfigure the settings on the other two manually, to no avail. Can the settings be corrected automatically? Please direct me to helpful guidelines that I could follow. Thank you.

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone here can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize the image. so you can imagine over time this all adds up. i dont always need to keep a 6mb image versions. i would love if there is a way to resize the email image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge email account (local/pop3)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc.

thanks

bold text Hi, I have Yahoo mail and Thunderbird. I want to use TB as my main mail but still keep my Yahoo account as the data is stored by yahoo and I suspect I will loose my history if I cancel..

I leave my email and a couple of other tabs open when I shut down. I cannot make TB appear as a tab, it always opens full page.

Any ideas?

I have a Windows 11 operating system. I tried browsing/uploading a couple email messages describing providing more information but wasn't successful. Can you help me ?

I am experiencing a persistent "ghosting" issue where deleted messages reappear in the "All Mail" folder. Environment: Mac Mini M2, macOS 15.2, Thunderbird 140.7ESR. Configuration: Gmail IMAP with "Auto-Expunge OFF" and "Immediately delete the message forever" selected in Gmail Web settings. Behavior: Using Shift+Delete or emptying the Trash in Thunderbird appears to work locally, but upon restart/re-index, messages return to the "All Mail" folder. Even after 2+ days, a search on the Gmail web interface still reveals the "deleted" items. Issue: The EXPUNGE command does not seem to be successfully committing to the Gmail server in this specific version build. Note that the TB has gone through some major rebuilds from 140.6 back to 128 ESR to 140.7ESR in the period from early Jan till 2 weeks ago. Very recently, TB became once again very slow on a start up, including after rebuilding of the large All Mail file of 66K items. A month ago, I added Satechi with 2TB drive split evenly between Time Machine and Other data. Significant oscillations took place in free memory on the MacHD between 60BG and 10 GB, currently at 58GB. Safari is my browser.
