Hey,

Since two or three weeks, Mozilla Firefox often crashes on my computer. I have a pretty decent et recent setup, except for my old Nvidia 2070SUPER. It has never happened for years so I'm worried about it.

Here are my most recent crashes :

- bp-143dbb7e-445e-4d49-869b-cf37b0250718 - bp-89dda5c4-231b-451f-9d7b-d4e150250718 - bp-6269dc7c-ed7c-4d04-8a47-37ee90250718 - bp-cf8d230b-f493-4feb-bf04-4d7ef0250718 - bp-a30fa4d5-c051-4203-ba9a-b596d0250718

Could you help me ?

Thank you,

Guillaume

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Hello, FF support forum,

I think I have seen a Container retain my login to a site when I open it again after closing it. Is there a way to configure Containers so that they are mini versions of the dump-cookies-temp-data when I close Firefox entirely? I would so love that functionality.

In Windows 11 settings > personalization > composition, is a way to change sounds like: error sound, connect device etc.. Before Firefox I used chrome and I set a sound for minimizing/maximizing and it worked. Whenever I minimized the browser it would play a custom sound. Since I started using Firefox the sounds don't seem to work anymore. Now I know the sound still works because when I minimize/maximize the file explorer it plays the custom sound. Is it not supposed to work or is it a bug? How can I make it play the custom sound? Thanks in advance :) (In Windows 10 it didn't work aswell)

When I search for something in the address bar using Firefox, I don't receive Google suggestions. The second photo is from another browser and shows exactly what I want.

What settings might I have changed?

Firefox currently: https://prnt.sc/11K105eLPdle

I want: https://prnt.sc/ToJ_b2PQ14k9

Note:

   browser.search.suggest.enabled => true

   browser.urlbar.suggest.searches => true

I've looked at the details in the config. As above. I've also used the Firefox Reset feature, but the problem still persists.

Upon installing Firefox, it appears to run fine. However, upon closing and attempting to reopen Firefox, a small window showing "Run Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?" will appear briefly, then close. I have already tried running it as administrator, and reinstalling several times, to no avail.

When I access eBay using Firefox I cannot access the choices on screen so unless there are no choices I cannot buy anything. I have tried Google Chrome which workd but I prefer to use Firefox and I would like someone to investgate this problem which has arisen with the last two Windows 11 uodates.

Hello. I frequently shop at particular store and have never had a problem.

Now, it's off and on. One order will go through with the help of their customer service (doing a direct purchase). Then a few weeks later I don't have a problem and can order without assistance. Now, once again, I can't purchase anything. Once my credit card goes through my address disappears. Then I add my address again and then my credit card is deleted. When my address or my credit card is deleted the order has in bold red letters telling me to add it again. I've tried Chrome after Firefox had issues but it had an issue too.

Is there something I can disable while I shop? I'm not having any problems with any other sites. Thank you!

This may seem like a dumb question, but I have never used a recovery key before, and I am not sure it is worth having one. To me it just seems like a secondary password, in case someone can't locate their first password. Well, if you are the kind of person who loses and forgets passwords, won't you lose and forget recovery keys also? I recently added one, but honestly I don't see why it makes me more secure, since I store it in the same place as my password. Should we be storing passwords and security keys in different places?

My FF sync keeps disconnecting. Recently, I began using Ubuntu from time to time. I use FF on Windows, on Android, and on Ubuntu. The sync used to work fine. But after I started using Ubuntu, I began having problems with sync. Is this a security thing - does FF disconnect itself if it is used on a Linux platforms, or on several platforms? Thanks.

I have been an avid user of the Firefox browser on my PC for over a decade but a few days ago, when I tried to access a website on my Firefox browser, it would not connect me to the website. I have many tabs open in my browser and when I try to access any of the tabs, I get the same problem. There's a dot that moves endlessly back and forward in the tab while the screen remains blank. In the heading next to the website address it says "not secure", but it is saying this for all the websites that I was previously able to access and any new website that I enter. How can I fix this to access websites? I have tried restarting my computer but that has not fixed it.

Today firefox deleted my complete history with the latest update. My data recovery tools cannot find any old profile. I demand a solution, since you update without any warning or possibility to save the history/tabs.
