Firefox — Fora społeczności

Hi Team,

after the mentioned update about a week ago, I experience quite some system slowness. Building up new pages takes between 30 and 60 seconds each, and some live streams are interrupted (3 seconds running, 3 seconds stop, 3 seconds running, etc.). This has never happened before. My Internet connection is good (confirmed by the provider), and using Google Chrome, all is as it should be, no slowness, no disruptions.

Can anybody advise, what the cause(s) could be, and how to solve these issues? Please let me know, if you need more information.

I really would like to continue using Firefox.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance,

Michael from Norway

I have upgraded my Firefox to version 146 and I have a disruptive color of active bookmark in left sidebar. How could I change this color into moderate one - dark grey.

I have been using Firefox for years and years. The only reason I still use it now is that I am currently able to disable the AI features. I do not want AI in my web browser. I heard that the new CEO wanted to integrate MORE AI into Firefox and I am against this direction! I will probably not fund Firefox development again if they do this. I do not require a reply to this thread and will probably ignore replies. If I become aware of a better way to express my opinion to the CEO, I will also do that.

The title bar, etc. is this really obnoxious blue and I'd like to change it to something else. I can't find the answer to this anywhere, except for "try themes," except those don't work either. I imagine there's a setting in about:config.

Thanks.

I do not need or want AI. The vast majority of firefox users, many of whom transferred to get away from AI, would agree. What for, anyway? To name tab groups? How is that worth spiking the use of my CPU and power? I switched to firefox *years* ago for one reason: it runs much better than chrome and it was committed to privacy and such. I know there are options to turn off these and the other AI features but with the CEO's desire to make firefox a "modern AI browser" I fear it will only get worse. How long will it stay optional? I might as well leave now and get used to waterfox, before firefox becomes utterly enshittified and unusable.

When I open the Firefox browser, it asks me for a password and gives two options: Sign In and Cancel. Normally, if I enter the correct password, I can access the browser. If I press Cancel, access should be denied and the browser should close. However, this is not happening. When I press Cancel, the popup window disappears, but anyone can still use the browser, although they cannot access the saved autofill passwords. Could you help address this bug or issue?

Recently started having odd behavior from FF, crash sometimes when opening a video in PIP, crash every single time I open a new private window with hotkey.

Had some freezing as well as right-click menus not showing options, those went away by enabling HW acceleration.

Submitted crashlogs and found a bugzilla link refrenced. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2000475

Can I downgrade to 144.0 without losing profiles/settings/passwords and history? Do I just download the 144.0 installer or is there a different process for downgrading? (I am assuming this could help exclusively based on the bugzilla refrence, it might not)

Not sure what else to do, FF is still freezing after watching videos for a few minutes, I am not even sure if this is strictly a FF issue or a Win 11 issue.

"hi yes we're firefox, a private browser that prides ourselves on being without bloatware. but we're going to add ai integration! yay!" Are you kidding me? What is wrong with you? This new CEO joins and wants to destroy what Firefox *prides itself on* and WHY PEOPLE use it. I am very disappointed. I converted to Mozilla from Google years ago and have loved it ever since. It's such an absolute shame; I will have to find a new company to support. Was the point of Mozilla not to create private, secure programs? Do not integrate AI. We don't want it. We hate it. It's useless and it kills the earth. And I sure as heck won't be comfortable storing my passwords in my account anymore! You will destroy this.

I had switched to Firefox some time ago because of the privacy-invading AI that Google and Microsoft were implementing at the time, and it appeared Mozilla had their consumers' interests in mind when it came to privacy and performance. I suppose even they are willing to shoot themselves in the foot with the market failure that is generative AI, despite the recent reports about Copilot's abysmal sales proving that this maneuver is incredibly short-sighted.

Not only are these AI "features" enabled by default upon updating, the options to disable each of them are all hidden away in the about:config page. On top of that, having these options enabled leads to worse performance overall, and the breach of privacy inherent to these features is quite worrisome as well.

The best step now is to remove these features completely. If Mozilla won't remove them, they should at least have them disabled by default, making them opt-in as opposed to the opt-out situation currently in place. Perhaps they could be listed as proper options somewhere in about:preferences so that people don't have to comb through the about:config list?

I know I would appreciate not having to switch browsers again, and I'm sure plenty of users would like to have their privacy respected as well. We don't want to see this browser become as terrible to use as other big-name brands. If Mozilla keep pushing these invasive features, we will find something else to use.

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

I have happily used Firefox for years now, but I avoid using AI for both privacy and environmental reasons. I am extremely concerned by Mozilla's increased emphasis on these technologies. I do not want, nor will I put up with, new AI features in my browser. If the company continues this push, I will move to a different browser. It'll be very annoying, and I'll be really upset about it, but it's what I'll have to do if y'all keep going down this path. Please stop.

since 3 days, after initiation of the Firefox the empty page appears with order to close firefox. A have reinstalled the new version several times withour anu change in the program behaviour

Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.

In firefox version 146, How do I change background color of the bar the tabs appear on? I don't want to change the tab color, but only the color of the toolbar where the tabs are located. I've tried several userchrome.css codes I found on the internet, but none of them work.

Just wanted to add my voice and say that I'm seriously disappointed with the change in the company's stance regarding generative AI. I only started using firefox recently, specifically because it doesn't shove AI slop down my throat, and of course that's already changing. The literal only consolation is that it sounds like I'll be able to turn it off in settings, but that isn't good enough. At this rate the enshittification of the entire internet is looking inevitable...

The recent news that Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is pushing for Firefox to integrate more AI.

I have used Firefox as my primary browser for 20 years. In that time, I have consistently advocated for its use in private and public forums (albeit with very little reach), in large part because it is a browser that does what I want, works, and doesn't shove a bunch of crap I don't want in my face. I recently read Waterfox's statement making it clear that they aren't going to do this, and that's the first time in my entire adult life that I have considered switching browsers.

I was already upset that I had to go disable AI features which were, for some stupid reason, enabled by default in the most recent versions. I do not want this garbage. I know I'm not alone. It would be annoying but easily ignored if these AI features were produced as mozilla-designed plugins or extensions, but for a browser that cares about privacy and security, this move is frankly inexplicable.

Please change course. This is one of the few organizations I actually have some level of trust in; it would be nice if you didn't squander that over some fancy new toys that nobody asked for.

(And, frankly, if you're going to ask us to fill out a survey, not having a question about this big new change and movement from the company is an... interesting choice.)

The site for our 501c 3 non-profit (Caring Hands For Angels, Inc) is flagged as deceptive and blocked by Firefox. I have no idea WHY this had happened nor how to correct it. I noticed on a google search that all the TV reports and newspaper articles about the organization show up in a search but not an actual link to the website. Is this because Firefox blocks it? Is it Google which is blocking it? We need help and don't know where to start.

When I load a pdf into Firefox, a pdf app opens at the top so I can write text, add an image, etc (thanks for this). Lately, when I am using the app, it will stop working randomly no matter which button I am using. If I'm suing text, it will stop and not allow me to select anything. If I'm using the highlighter, the same thing happens. I tried removing all my extensions but that did not work. I know this started after a Microsoft and Firefox update. Could you please fix it, otherwise I have to use Chrome and I hate Chrome. The app controls are on the far right of the image.
