Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

How do I get searches (my default is Google) to STOP going to the address bar? This started out of the blue and it is making me crazy. I don't want to be asked which search to use, and I don't want it to search in the address bar. I want it in the search box. Thanks.

I use Firefox as my default browser. This week, I noticed that I no longer have the option to copy text from my email unless I open it in a separate window and pop it out. This has greatly reduced my ability to work since I have to copy and paste text from emails numerous times per day. I have experimented on other browsers and I am still able to do it when I use Chrome and Microsoft Edge. How can I fix this so I don't have to stop using Firefox?

I am running Windows 10 on a desktop pc. I have Firefox for Windows 148.0. I am editing a website on Joomla 5.4.3. To edit pages in Joomla, I use the TinyMCE editor. Since today, whenever I open a page in the editor, the editor keeps reloading constantly which renders the editing impossible. After I close the editor, the browser seems to lag for 5 to 10 seconds, before returning back to its normal, problem-free behaviour. This behaviour is only happening in the Firefox browser, not in others on the desktop.

I switched to my Macbook, which still had Firefox for iOS 147.0.4 running. There the above mentioned behaviour didn't occur. But when I updated Firefox for iOS to 148.0 the behaviour did start to occur.

So, I guess it is a bug in version 148.0? How can this problem be fixed?

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?

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"
