Hi,

I have a dual monitor setup and quite often and randomly, when I launch the browser it opens on the secondary monitor instead of the primary, which is the one I always use. Firefox is up to date: 135.0 (64-bit)

I've read somewhere that I have to move the browser to the primary monitor, resize it so that it is not fully expanded and close. After opening it again it opens on the primary screen and I can maximize it and close again, but when I open the browser again the next day it may open on the secondary screen again... or not, just a very random thing. Any clue?

Thanks, Pere

This issue appeared fairly recently. When I open a downloaded picture from Firefox's downloads menu, it opens under Firefox window. So it's like the browser is in "always on top" mode when it happens. It's inconsistent and doesn't happen all the time, but I can't notice any pattern. Tested it in another browser and tried changing default image viewing software to make sure that the problem is with Firefox. It persists in troubleshooting mode as well.

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,

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

Everytime when going to youtube with firefox, I get language "dansk" instead of "german" or "swiss german". My firefox: 132.0.2 (64-bit). My language setting in firefox: german My language setting in Windows 11: swiss german

this is very annoying, because I first have to change on the youtube page the language to "german" in order to understand the menu.

In Google Chrome youtube behaves normally.

Hi,

I am in the pharmaceutical industry and using ectd program, which is producing an xml backbone (directories) containing pharmaceutical information (pdfs). Only internet explorer can show this. Chrome has recently lost this ability. Firefox shows only some headings, like reading the index.xml only and not detecting the other directories. Is there an option/addon so I can view the contents correctly? I cannot attach the export of the ectd program (index.html & backbone/directories) so you can see to what I refer to, only the pics.

Thanks! Ryk

Having a problem with Firefox the last few weeks. I'm on 64-bit version 133. When I go to a web site I get the this message:


Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.mozilla.org. If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

If I reload the page from the 'Try Again' button or the reload icon in the top menu bar it will start to display. I usually have to reload multiple times for the page to start to load. Sometimes the page loads completely the first time, Sometimes it only loads partially (i.e. only text) or only part of the page loads correctly. I reload a few more times and the page finally loads completely. This makes it very difficult to browse almost any web page. I have Firefox on 3 computers (Windows 7 & 10) and have this problem on all three. I've visited web pages in Edge without problems. Any ideas? Thanks

Hey All:

Upper-right My Account drop-down menu. Click, and it simply disappears.

In Chrome and Safari it pops up a Login form.

I've turned off popup blocking in Firefox, no change.

I'm guessing there's a simple fix, suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

I beleive in the recent versions of Firefox, shortcut keys have been added/changed such that holding the Option key while in the URL Search bar activates other functions (Switching search engines: Option + Up/Down Arrow) and completely disables my ability to move left or right through the URL by word.

Is there any way I can disable this shortcut key combination?
