My google calendar, gmail, and G docs either will not load or only load after several attempts, or are very slow. They work fine in Chrome. This morning I couldn't open a G doc at all in FF, but it opened in Chrome.

My FF is up to date. I recently installed security software from AVG that is more full featured than the version I've been using for years with no problem. Could there be some known incompatibility between AVG and FF?

I'd much appreciate any suggestions!

Lately when opening multiple tabs in a folder on E-Bay, often this error msg occurs on the later opening tabs (folder of 60 tabs)

E-Bay says try Chrome browser, but that browser does not import the folders needed.

Years ago doing this solved slowness problems: Control panel/Internet Options/General/Browsing History/Settings/set disk space to use to 1024.

The browsing history would be deleted before the computer would be turned off.

E-Bay says try Chrome browser, but that browser does not import the specific folders needed.

Edge used to not allow folders with tabs.

I have divided the folder of 132 tabs, where this problem started, into two folders of 72 and 60 tabs, still happens about every fifth time the folder would be opened.

Any fix from Mozilla?

Attached is a screenshot of a video on youtube. Usually I can hear sounds but not now.

Just migrating my .mozilla directory to a new OS ... works perfectly, everything exactly as it was in the old OS, so no complaints, however I noticed the size of the directory is 491Mb! It seems a bit fat for my bookmarks and preferences and such. Should it be that bloated? Can I trim it down? Did I perhaps copy some stuff into there that doesn't belong?

Today I tried using a Socks5 proxy that requires user and password. It seems that this is still unsupported as already concluded in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1237174 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122752

Any news on this?

Kind regards,

PS: I _was_ able to use the very same proxy with curl with

curl --proxy-user user1:pass1 --socks5 "http://localhost:1080" https://www.google.de

On fully up-to-date Windows 10 Pro desktop, Mozilla 123.0 fails to fully update to 123.0.1, leaving behind several obsolete files and an additional version under Control Panel>Program and Features. This issue has been ongoing for at least three software updates. Only simple solution is to fully uninstall, clean directories and register and reinstall. Fairly inconvenient.

I've just recently switched over to Firefox with Manifest V4's blocking of ad blockers, and made an account here to sync between devices. I somehow mistyped my age during the account creation, though, and put in "13" instead of what I meant to. Will this affect any of my searching, and if so, is there a way to change it?

Some websites must log in again after reopening Firefox, like www.baidu.com of China. I didn't clear the cookies and histories when I closed the browser, and other sites like Google didn't have this problem. I've tried removing all extensions, that didn't fix the problem. This problem does not occur using other browsers.

I've been unable to click through links in Thunderbird. It appears to be because Firefox refuses to be my default browser. When it asked whether I wanted it to be my default browser I answered yes, but then got a blue message saying I should go to settings/default apps. It has never done this before. I can't use Win 10 Settings because it doesn't do anything because it has been corrupted by a power cut. But this has not been a problem before because Firefox has always made itself the defealt browser when requested. I have tried doing it via the menue but I get the same message. So it appears, either Firefox has changed, or Windows 10, preventing from Firefox doing it itself. I haven't used any other browser. Edge was not set up. Any suggestions?

This purple capsule icon appears in the upper left-hand corner of my Firefox browser when I share a tab using Zoom or Google meet. It does not go away when I stop sharing my screen, or if I quit Zoom. If I'm using two displays, sometimes it sticks on one screen when I move my Firefox window and hovers over every window in any app. The only way I can make it disappear is to quit and restart Firefox, which isn't practical. I can't find any setting in the Mac Control Panel or in Firefox to turn this off (Reddit is split on if this is a Firefox problem or a MacOS problem).

I often need to have Firefox open on half my screen and another doc open on the other half.

Every time I click the 'minimise' button on the top right of my Firefox screen, it freezes then crashes. I have to close it, reopen it, and then it will minimise. This has been happening for months.

Any ideas?
