These are the pictures I get recently ... tiny. Micromised. Unsure if I accidentally hit a "micromise" button, but all of the sudden, the normal view became tiny.

Also, many a time by myself and others told: When browsing picture sites such as Deviantart, Pinterest, even Google Pictures, Firefox severely slows down up to even dead stop after a while. Though several versions have passed, this issue still remains.

Clearing Cache, or using DelTempDir/FlushDNS doesn't help at all, once it begins to slow, only full restart of FF helps, but this ain't always an option. It almost seems that the memory is filling up by the feeds of these sites, and just cannot be cleared, no matter what.

Using a Memory tool ALSO runs nowhere.

Please assist?

Thank you.

Hi! For the last ~3 days I've been having a problem that is getting increasingly frequent where tabs will, sometimes even after having previously been loaded and sometimes brand new tabs, turn blank and feature only a small loading animation at the centre of the page.

Reopening the url in another tab doesn't work, but the sites will work on Chrome and it's not limited to any one website, it's happened with youtube, google, reddit, fb, random blogs etc. Sometimes it will even happen in the middle of using a website.

I haven't added any new extensions since before the troubles started, and I tried disabling them all to no avail. I'm not really sure what's going on, though I am to assume that the pages are somehow hanging but I checked the processes page and it didn't seem to be an issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd rather not have to move back to chrome.

I'm running Firefox 111.0.1 on a 2021 MacBook Pro running OS 13.0.1. I'm suddenly unable to load eBay; all efforts result in a blank white page whose tab indicates it's trying to load. I cleared my cache of all eBay data and restarted Firefox--alas, to no avail. Please don't tell me to look for the shield in the upper left-hand corner--one needs to have a loaded page in order to do that.

Incidentally, I REALLY appreciate not only being informed that my Subject field needs at least five characters but that as it stood, "(it has four)." Thanks for assuming that I lack the inability to handle single-digit cardinals.

Team,

I have an M2 macbook air. On average, Firefox on my Mac uses between 850megs and frequently well over a gig of my system's RAM. I have deleted all of my extensions (this helped a tiny bit), but the issue remains. It is noteworthy that Chrome, which has more windows opened and is used more frequently, only reports RAM usage of 125 megs up to 275 megs. Please help me.

Systems details M2 Macbook Air Ventura 13.3 (the issue remains between several software upgrades) Firefox 111.0.1 version (again, this memory issue remains after many software upgrades)

See the attached screenshot. the function is mostly useless as-is now.

This is on Firefox 87 Manjaro 21 (Linux)

Default theme is used.


According to https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/8k3sq4/firefox_updated_to_6001_and_the_search_box_is_no/ there's something wrong with userchrome.css in the profile but that file should be patched if that's the case.

Why this hasn't been patched since it's introduction in version 60 is beyond me.

Hi, long time listener first time caller.

A site that I visit quite regularly, https://www.bunnings.com.au/ , has suddenly stopped loading in the Firefox browser. Below is a screenshot of the webpage as it loads now. I have run the "Troubleshoot firefox" and disabled all add-ons and still no go. Firefox is up to date (new up date today 22/04/2021- Australia) All other sites I visit load fine. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ loads with no issues in Chrome (I don't use Chrome because I find it less customisable than Firefox) I have been using Mozilla since the Netscape Navigator days. The error message is in the very top left corner. You can see the chat window loads but can't be accessed. Browser version is 88.0 (64bit)

Hope you can help

Thanks
