Hello Firefox Support,

I’m encountering a strange issue with Firefox. While playing YouTube videos at very low quality (144p) just to listen to music, my GPU usage spikes to 100%. This happens even when the video is not fullscreen and there’s minimal visual content.

System Info:

   Firefox Version: 140.0.2 (64-bit)

   Operating System: Windows 11 

   CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (no integrated GPU)

   GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

   GPU Driver Version: AMD Adrenalin 25.6.1 

The issue goes away when I disable hardware acceleration in Firefox settings, but I’d prefer to leave it enabled for better performance elsewhere.

Is this a known issue with AMD GPUs or is there something else I can try to reduce GPU usage during playback?

Thank you for your help.

I only discovered the tab groups function within the last few weeks, and upon finding, I moved dozens of open tabs into organized groups. On using the feature, I noticed the ability to save and close groups and that I could recover those closed groups by using the arrow in the browser toolbar.

When I got to my PC this morning, my desktop had restarted or hibernated or something; when I started it up, Firefox was open which is unusual as I don't have Firefox set to open on startup - usually so I can restore sessions after crashes. All of my previously open tabs were open, but none of the closed, saved tab groups are visible. I cannot find any of the dozen or so closed tab groups and it appears I've lost easily hundreds of tabs.

I tried looking at the session backups but it seems because Firefox was open on start, it overwrote the previous session data. Is there any way to recover those saved groups or am I SOL?

I am not sure why every time I go to print something, it takes the color blue and turns it gold. I have used other browsers like Edge to print and it does not do this, only while I am using firefox. I have tried to set the color management mode to 0 and to 1 and neither of these options have worked. Is this a problem with the newest update or is there a setting that I am missing?

Suddenly getting persistent "Gah. Your tab just crashed" error message this week; running Windows 11 on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 12th Gen laptop; I have run Firefox in Safe mode, disbled multi-process tabs, turned off h'ware acceleration, cleared cache and cookies, turned off BitDefender, Refresed firefox, updated firefox and windows, checked for malware, reinstalled Firefox, and attempted to create a new Firefox proficle (didn't run), all to no avail; attempted to use mozregression, but I don't have the skills. Would be glad of any help! Thanks

Hi, Once last week I had Firefox crash, like quite literally the window I had open just closed abruptly. Tried doing the refresh using the setup wizard and it did not help. Then I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times. Each time it'll open up like new, and within 10 minutes the window closes randomly and then Firefox doesn't launch anymore on my laptop. No error message, just does not launch whether I try to from taskbar or Home or even run as administrator. Seemingly random I've been using Firefox for months and it just started doing this last week.

Sorry for lack of other info, thanks for any help you're able to give.

I am having an issue where my browser does not show the webpage title or website name when it returns results. I haven't changed anything about my browser recently and I'm really unsure of what is going on. Any advice to fix this would be appreciated.

hello! Firefox began timing out and needed to be force quit starting yesterday; I didn't think anything of it until I reopened and Firefox continued to be unusable. It's not frozen or unresponsive, but it won't load pages or complete actions. I can interact with the browser and settings, etc, access about:crashes, but I can't actually submit crash reports; it just loads endlessly. When I close the program, it won't complete that action either; the app remains running in the background until I force quit.

Things I've tried:

Restarting the computer Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox Clearing the cache

Other browsers work fine, as does the rest of my machine and internet. I'm submitting this using Safari because I can't navigate here using Firefox, but would really prefer to get back to my browser of choice.

Attached are the IDs of a few of the crashes I've had; they remain unsubmitted, sorry, because (as outlined above) I'm not able to complete the action when submitting them.

Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

Please I want to remove Ai from Firefox Mozila permanently on Windows 11 for all users/profiles:

I tried a lot of workarounds but they are unsuccessfully: I tried to create extensions (Hide Gemini, AI Google Overview), but they do not work for all users; only profile-based extensions are supported. I tried to use preferences using internal settings on Firefox, but it does not apply to all users. I tried using a script on PowerShell for all users merging internal preferences, but it does not work I copied the local and roaming settings from Firefox to the Default profile, but it was unsuccessful.

I also tried to remove "All" from the search page, but I moved the seach to go to the tab "Web" only.

Thank you for any help and feedbacks. --Rod

firefox used to have good history now it's only 7 days? i need to see more than 7 days, all of it being available is ideal. what prompted this - although i've been irked by it before - is needing to know how i got to a website, what was the search and/or tab spelunking that got me there? it's really important to know this. relying solely on google search (if that'll yield part of the trail) seems contrary to firefox ethos.

I have been using Firefox for awhile now and something weird is happening. I can't close tabs by clicking on the 'x' on the tab. I also can't use the back arrow and the refresh button. I can right click and close tabs that way and the bookmark bar works. The problem seems confined to the top two bars. Thank you.

am trying to log into the indian evisa (indianfrro.gov.in) website to print off an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) and when logging into the site I am getting a warning saying potential security risk ahead

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to indianfrro.gov.in . If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

I do not know what to do for the best

What's wrong with the new release?

Today i decided try the new firefox(140) since it's going to be ESR, but i'm getting hot-fan from a couple of tabs (particularly video streams). Second it's slower and seems to have 4second delay for shutdown..

The laptop is running linux mint with intel i5 (11th), tigerlake (iris xe) gpu. It might not be newest, but it shouldn't have a problem with regular web browsing.

Is it a bug? like it's not maxing my ram or cpu during use.
