Firefox — Fora społeczności

Hello, I'm on Firefox Nightly 152.0a1 running on a freshly installed new Windows 11 version. I've used Firefox exclusively for my whole life and everything has always been smooth until a few days ago. Firefox started (and continues) to freeze for a second or two pretty regularly, each time I use the search bar for example, open a new tab, while a page is loading (which is very slow at the moment) but also scrolling on a page for example. During the freezes, the temperature of my CPU also increase by approximately 20°C. CPU usage in task manager shows that it is quite high, 10x higher than Edge that I opened for comparison only : https://i.imgur.com/enuMMZl.png.

I have sought the internet for advice but nothing changed this behaviour. I updated my computer through Windows Update, my drivers through Driver Booster, I disabled hardware acceleration on Firefox, I removes all AI components with zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI on GitHub, I changed dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.backgroundUsesEcoQoS on about:config to false but nothing cured the problems.

I'm out of solutions and I don't know if I should be waiting for another Nightly build (usually there's about 1-2 a day but 152.0a1 is sticking since a few days and there isn't any update available since, seemingly), if there's others energy economy parameters I could play with on Windows 11 that I don't know about or if something else is in the way. Any help very appreciated, thanks!

I've just opened one simple Web site (in addition to Mozilla), and already CPU usage sits at about 20%! Please refer to my recent posts here at "Why is Firefox Suddenly Taking Over my CPU?" for the problem description. I'm re-posting simply in hopes that I can "send data" on this one from outside my sandbox. Regards -- jclarkw

Hello

I have a 2021 IMAC desktop OS 13.7.8 In the last few days I have updated to Firefox 150.0 since then, my computer will not sleep if Firefox is open even if I select the Apple menu---sleep to manually make it sleep, it goes dark and comes back awake within 5-10 seconds. I CANNOT get it to sleep with Firefox open. If I close FIrefox, then I can get it to sleep. ANy windows that I keep open are windows I have had open for weeks and this did not affect the IMAC;s ability to sleep in the previous version of FIrefox. The only thing that has changed is FIrefox so I am telling you there is a problem...PLEASE fix it asap.

YES.....I have , as suggested in help sources.....done these..... 1)Settings > Privacy & Security > Autoplay and set it to "Block Audio and Video" 2)about:config in the address bar, search for media.video-wakelock, and set it to false

Youtube playback causes Firefox to freeze up. Just the tab that is playing, not the entire browser. I have reinstalled firefox, used recommended settings and I have no addons or extensions. Other browsers work fine and there is nothing wrong with my computer. It is only firefox. This has been happening for about a month now.

When i start to use Firefox and browse internet, usage of ram memory slowly rise up to max, using 5-10 GB, i disabled AI, same problem, don't know if something with Youtube causing this, every open tab is consume too much of ram memory. I think it started yesterday or day before. Installed again Firefox, same problem, if i have more open tabs, quickly rise consumption or ram, i have 16GB. Now 4 tabs, FB and 3 Youtube, more than 5.6BG. In Task Manager shows Firefox (20), 20? only 4 tab open and ram rises.

Today Firefox has suddenly started using ~20% of my CPU capacity, causing my cooling fan to run high most of the time. Since I had been running Firefox v.149.latest, I tried updating to v.150.0, but that made no difference.

It's not Firefox by itself (only Task Manager open) but whenever I open another tab with almost any website (including this one) that CPU usage spikes. What gives?!

Details: Running under Windows 10 Pro (yes, I have installed the ESU package, good until thi8s fall) on a Lenovo P1 Gen 2. Currently running Firefox inside a Sandboxie Pro v1.17.4 sandbox.
