Hello, when I change layout.frame_rate in about:config from -1 to 900 it works perfectly for 30 seconds and then every single time after 30 seconds it drops to 92 - 95 and stays stuck within that range. When my friend tried the same thing with their cap set to 400 the same thing happened. It's not a CPU or GPU issue as when I set it to uncapped in firefox and other browsers it can stay very high indefinitely.

Can anyone help me stopping it from dropping like that? Thanks!

Why does Firefox use roughly 20x more RAM than Brave for the same tabs? And what can be done?

In practice, for a dozen or two tabs, Firefox uses 4-7 GB of RAM, where Brave uses 300-400 MB. This sometimes gets me to using all of my 16 GB of RAM without having more than a browser & a few apps.


Hardware : recent Dell Inspiron 16 Plus (7620) with SSD, 16 GB DDR 4800 Mhz, decent i5 CPU and 6GB of dedicated GPU RAM - it's a pretty fast laptop.

Hello, I did an update in the middle of December. Then Firefox suggested a clean-up which I agreed to. As a result, I have lost many accesses to websites and also access to Metamask. Apparently I wrote down the wrong seed phrase for Metamask so that I can no longer create the account. My question: can I reset Firefox so that I can get back to an old version where all my access data is available? LG

Menus and keyboard shortcuts no longer work on Mac after exiting fullscreen mode

With the latest update, a bug appears to have made its way into Firefox for Mac. Here's the procedure to reproduce this bug:

  1. Open Firefox in fullscreen mode by clicking on the green button.
  2. In fullscreen mode, close all the open tabs. You should now return to the regular desktop.
  3. Wait a few seconds. The menu bar no longer works, and neither do the keyboard shortcuts.

In fact, if you immediately click on "File" or any menu other than "Window" after the switch to the desktop, you'll still see the menu, but it will disappear after a second or two. The keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore, either, and you cannot get a new window to open by switching to another app and back via the keyboard (Cmd+Tab). The only workarounds I have found so far:

  • Quit the app and then reopen it. Everything works again as expected.
  • Click on the app icon in the dock, which forces it to reload the menu bar.

Note that this happens with Firefox 121.0 running on macOS 14.2.1.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Update 121.0 (on mac) has been a distaster for me.

The Search Bar is broken. The Title Bar is frozen with the name of the tab that it opens the first time, but doesn't change. BUT more, tabs show up with their name on the tab, BUT when I clicke to open it, the address bar is blank, and I have to mess with it to MAYBE get it to load. I quit firefox and restarted my computer, and when things came back up, all the windows opened with the right numer of tabs, but ALL THE TABS were blank.. I had to go into profile, and mess with the previous.jsonlz4 and session restore to at least recover those.

This has been very frustrating.

I recently upgraded someone's computer to a later version of windows 10. They had Firefox 102.6esr and I upgraded that to 102.15.1. They didn't want to upgrade to 115 yet for a number reasons.

This was an in-place upgrade.

After the upgrade all attempts to install an addon (Let's take canvasclocker as an example), or any theme (I tried many) all throw an error in a red bar saying an unexpected error occurred.

I followed this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-ons-extensions-or-themes

And method B from here: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-fix-unexpected-installation-error-203-problem-while-installing-extensions-and-themes-in-mozilla-firefox/

I also saw a post somewhere I can't recall about downloads being blocked so I checked about:config but didn't see anything unusual (compared to my settings).

What might be causing the error?

Firefox doesn't recognize graphics card behind displaylink driver (Decoding video only in software mode)

Hello! I have a laptop with switchable graphics (Radeon 780M + RTX 3050) and connected via USB-C Dock (HP Universal USB-C Dock) to DisplayPort Monitor (Lenovo 27inch).

When I play a video - there is no hardware decoding process therefore CPU running on 50%. I opened about:support - and checked Codec Support Information - all codecs are software decoded only.
Then I checked recognized graphics adapters - 
```
"adapterDescription": "DisplayLink USB Device",
   "adapterVendorID": "0x000b",
   "adapterDeviceID": "0x000b",
   "adapterSubsysID": "0000000b",
   "adapterRAM": 0,
   "adapterDrivers": "Unknown",
   "driverVendor": "",
   "driverVersion": "",
   "driverDate": "",
   "adapterDescription2": "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU",
   "adapterVendorID2": "0x10de",
   "adapterDeviceID2": "0x25e2",
   "adapterSubsysID2": "3b1217aa",
   "adapterRAM2": 4096,

``` And viola - there is no integrated graphics adapter. seems like a Firefox doesn't know about it behind USB-C Dock.

Hi..!!!

After 9 or 10 days... I stop browsing... I can't access the internet or the router... but I can ping everything and I can also browse with Opera from where I am writing this

I'm currently using a portable version... but I've also tried the installed version (both updated to 121.0)

If I log out it doesn't work either...it only works when I restart the PC...but I don't want to restart every 10 days

Right now it has failed...after 9 days 20 hours

Any ideas on something I can try...now that it's not working?

Thank you

Hello,

while i am running for example World of Warcraft in the background Firefox is not at the usual 144fps/hz but at whatever the Game is running at. But for some reason just a 2 days ago it was actually working with Firefox running at 144hz / fps no matter if the Game in the background was at even 8fps (WoW). Anyway to make Firefox the focus of Gsync when i have Firefox in the foreground?
