About two weeks ago, Firefox started randomly hanging and would stop responding. It wouldn't let me close the program and I always have to restart my system to resolve the problem. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes after restart before it hangs, other times it will be fine for hours.

I've tried multiple solutions I've found online, carefully following instructions: clearing cookies and cache, disabling all extensions, refreshing firefox, creating a new profile, deleting specific files within the Profiles folder, etc.

I've yet to make it more than four hours without the program hanging.

Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have a folder with many bookmarks in it, and when I want to open multiple links in the folder but not ALL of them, I have to keep opening the bookmarks folder after middle clicking each link 1 at a time. I can't open the entire folder - there are 100+ and say I want to open 10.

Is there a way to keep the bookmark folder open while I open each link in new tabs?

Thanks!

Version: Firefox 129 Ubuntu/Debian I'm using the Proton theme in Firefox and would like to revert the tabs to their previous, non-floating style.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello, I'm having an issue with how Firefox is displaying images on some of our product pages. The image appears to be zoomed in which cuts off the side of the product image. The exact same product page displays completely fine when using Safari and Chrome. I cannot figure out the issue. Please see attached images.

I have tried:

modifying the about:config page prefs:

   browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing
   browser.enable_click_image_resizing 

I have also tried resetting the zoom features (Command/Conrl +/-/0).

I have also tried reinstalling firefox and running the browser without any extensions.

None of these worked. Any suggestions?

Hi, apologies I'm not very computer-literate, but my gmail has stopped allowing attachments such as images or files (just keeps saying attachments failed). I cleared a lot of old (large) emails from my email account and freed up a lot of space - but I still can't add attachments. I've checked Firefox and it's up to date - as are my ad blockers. Is there something else I can do like deleting Firefox and then reinstalling it to see if this helps - the problem is definitely when using Firefox (and not Chrome) as my browser.

Back in the days it was always possible to change Proxy port number (or, I believe, any other numeric value) by moving the mouse scrolling wheel when the cursor is placed inside the related field. I don't know whose intelligent decision it was to disable this functionality, but it has gone since the last update (v130.0). Now the window scrolls regardless of the cursor position. It looks like it works fine, but for those who are used to this kind of functionality, it turns out to be inconvenient.

Please, roll this back before it's too late :) Thank you.

Hello Firefox friends o/

Anyone knows how do I make https://yandex.com my default search engine? (in the top bar of the browser). I have attached a screenshot of my settings page. Please have a look at the suspicious lack of an "Add" button 🤔. Despite my efforts, the drop-down menu will not show the available options in the screenshot, you will have to take my word for it, the only available options in that menu are: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, eBay and Wikipedia (en).

P.S. The settings page in Firefox must change really often, as I seen so many people suggesting many outdated methods online.

When I open up the Add-ons Manager it shows Window Titler is turned on. But Ctrl-Alt-T no longer works, there is no button showing for it, and it seems to be gone. A button for it does not appear in Customize Toolbar. It is the single most important reason I stay with Firefox. How do I get it to work again? Thoughts appreciated.

Hi community!

For some reason, the short description of an email is now under the subject instead of besides it in the overview. This does something to my head that, atleast for me, makes it cluttery and hard to hover over who sent me email. I want a column with who sent me mail, then I want right of it a short description, the start of the mail, just like it always was. It takes vertical space so less email is visible and my head has to switch from "from" to "content" to "from" to "content" which is for some reason very tiring. It's one of the reasons I hate outlook... Please don't tell me Thunderbird changed into outlook -_-

How do I change this back to the way it was?
