i am trying to type this message on firefox, but i have to avoid shift key not to interrupt typing. when i hot shift+some other keys like i, b, v, etc, devtools pop up. i have checked other forums, other q&a on firefox support, and concluded that the same issue have occurred to many users regardless of the os, features, extensions, various keyboards (but not the virtual one for me) or system settings. i have to type a lot in the browser, so i just choose to delete firefox until someday the issue is fixed.

I have had a dual boot Windows 10/Ubuntu Linux set up for many years, with Firefox installations in the two operating systems both using the same profile accessible on a shared a disk partition. Since a Ubuntu update several months ago, using Firefox under Ubuntu produces the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." problem when I revert to Windows and try to run Firefox under Windows. I can clear the problem by running a disk check in Windows on the shared partition, but does anyone know how to avoid this?

When my laptop is connect to a monitor via HDMI cable, the resolution on Firefox switches between what my laptop is at when not plugged in and the current monitor's resolution. It almost looks like Firefox is hiccuping between resolutions. This last for a few seconds and happens frequently within the hour. How can I stop Firefox from being confused about the resolution it's supposed to be at?

Hi!

I don't understand. Firefox is eating up memory again in the latest versions, and on top of that, it's the GPU on my PC.

4GB for the app and up to 8GB.

Are you mining Bitcoin on my machine?

What are you doing?

Of 3 macs in the house, all on OS12, the one on ethernet to the ISP has been failing regularly: 1.) fails to collect history 2.) fails to present long-time home page 3.) if it does boot-up properly, expected behavior slows down markedly during a session on the computer (Usually rebooting the entire machine restores this.

When I use picture-in-picture for any video, all of my firefox browser windows go unresponsive. I can move the cursor around, but it won't allow me to click on anything. The only way to stop it is to open a brand new window which makes it responsive again and then close out of the PIP video. Sometimes it lets me go back to using the browser as normal, and other times it causes all firefox windows to crash. I'm using Windows 10. This issue only began happening about 10-ish days ago.
