Firefox: форум сообщества

I booted the computer this AM and firefox is acting up. I can go to my email accounts (2), but I can't open an email. Both act like this. They will open with MS Edge and all other functions seem to work on the computer except for firefox.

I tried searching for a solution using duckduckgo and google, many of the links wouldn't open and some that did, just loaded re-loaded, but never finished. Pulldown menus, where they ask a question and click to see the anwer, don't work. They are frozen. Can see the cursor highlight the menus, however it will not allow any interaction with them.

I restarted the computer, there was an update, and I had it update. No change with firefox. I reinstalled firefox. No change. For the moment, I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any thoguhts about this, please help. Thanks in advance. Ken

I use a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.7.2. Each time I attempt to login to https://music.amazon.com, Firefox freezes which then requires me to quit Firefox and restart. Therefore, I need to use another browser to access the site. What is the solution to this issue?

This started after the recent update. Any time i open more than 1 firefox window or try to move my window to a different monitor, the Menu Bar pops up and left click will be stuck only making the bar appear/disappear. I just have to close the second window because it becomes immediately unusable. I have the ui setting set to false but it still freezes new windows and doest let me click or type on anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, ran troubleshoot mode, got rid of extensions, reset my computer. I'm at a loss. Any help would be great

I run a drafting site where we share shop drawings for contractors and architects: https://usadraftsman.com

Whenever I open these drawing preview pages in Firefox, the browser gets slow or sometimes becomes unresponsive. The same pages load completely fine in Chrome, so I’m trying to understand what might be causing this only in Firefox.

Most of the previews are large drawings or viewer embeds, so maybe Firefox is struggling with rendering them. I tried clearing cache and turning off extensions, but the issue still comes back.

If anyone has dealt with similar heavy graphics or rendering issues in Firefox, what should I check or adjust? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Everything is gone from the browser today. There is no content in the menu at the top right, except for keyboard shortcuts. When I type in the search bar, nothing happens, and clicking the + to open a new tab does nothing either. My account is still showing at the top, I am signed in and the profile looks fine. I can't "refresh" the browser from the menu, as that is not an option.

UPDATE: FIXED - Today, April 13 - everything is back - I guess Firefox fixed itself.

I've been using Fire Fox for decades, but lately it is so slow, I thought there was something wrong with my Windows 7 ultimate. I've done full Windows reboot, to no avail. Then I see the internet t hat FireFox is starting to implement AI. I thought that may be the issue, but after looking into it, looks like that isn't an option with my old Win 7 OS. So if that isn't the problem, how can I find out what is bogging Fire Fox down? I keep a watch on my CPU usage, and the usage is going nearly to 100%, when it used to barely go over 10%. When I check the actual CPU usage, it shows as many as 15 or more items tied to Fire Fox.

Is this all a result of continued use of Win 7? I'm planning to move to Linux, but that will take me some serious time and effort. Gerald

I have been using Firefox for many, many years. As of late I find it is constantly slowing or freezing and when I check with taskmanager I find Firefox has opened and is running as many as 85 processes. I have tried the recommended methods of limiting it...but the performance options do not provide the ability to limit processes as set out in the instructions....and changing the browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false also did not work. If I can't fix this, I will have to stop using Firefox. I am using version 144.0

Hello team,

I tried searching for a solution for the problem I'm about to describe but unfortunately I wasn't able to move forward.

I am running Firefox 141.0 version on my Macbook M4 Pro. The refresh rate of the display is set to 120Hz, but I the scrolling and interaction in the browser feels like it's on standard 60Hz refresh rate. When I compare it to Safari/Chrome it's not as fluent as it should be.

Am I missing an existing option that could be changed or is it something available at the moment?

Thank you, Arsen

Hello For some reason most of the buttons in my toolbar have stopped working. When I first open Firefox they all work, then when I enter websites they stop working. The 'home' button still seems to work, but almost all others (such as the 'back' button etc) can't be selected. This is very frustrating. To note, I am not tech savvy at all.

Thank you in advance for your help.

При заходе на сайте ya.ru и если на нём имеется строка с видео или поиск с алисой, то начинаются сильные фризы. Это ошибка именно в firefox 142, проверенно.

In 2024-25 Microsoft Edge gained the ability to limit the usage of physical RAM that the processes uses. Once that limit is reached tabs are put to sleep or are unloaded. So a user of Microsoft Edge could restrict the memory usage to say 1GB or 2GB or 3GB and so on till the maximum available physical RAM.

Does Firefox have such an ability? Is there some flag or settings in about:config that can be enabled for a similar feature to be used? Does Firefox have ability to put tabs to sleep once SWAP is started to be used? Is there some flag or settings in about:config that can be enabled for a similar feature to be used?

If none of one of the above is not available with Firefox then will Firefox add this feature as part of the browser in the future?

Hi, I use a website called Slickdeals which has a lot of thumbnail photos showing the product on the homepage.

Firefox seems to have a problem with it where Chrome does not.

Scrolling fast throws it off...the screen turns white and I have to wait for the images to load. Also, the scrolling tends to get choppy while using my touchpad scroll.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, disabling smooth scrolling, and clearing cache/history.

Sometimes the cursor lags about a second from the arrow to the hand pointer on links to click.

I have fast FIOS internet and a laptop with 16 GB RAM.

Thanks!

Every couple of minutes Firefox just freezes. YouTube buffers, all open tabs just stop working. I can open new tabs but i cannot search up anything or go into any websites. Is there any fix for this?

Hello! Today I stuck with problem in my system: after minor package update, hardware acceleration was broke. In past, I stuck with same problem after total pc upgrade (AMD -> NVIDIA GPU, another might be unnecesary), and somehow I fixed it, but i dont remember what exactly fixed it. Can someone please help me turn hardware acceleration on this time? My searching the key arround didn`t helped, but i found in about:support line which notes that firefox unrecognized my videocard etc. My specs: kernel: 6.17.1-zen1-1-zen driver: nvidia-dkms-580.95.05-1 videocard: GTX 1080 TI DE: gnome 49 with Wayland

Tips that ive tried: Tried to make all as wrote in archwiki Tried to install an nvidia vaapi implementor Made some random steps from internet, without effect(maybe thats why hardware acceleration doesent work??)

theres also about:support page attached

I'm unable to do much with Firefox now.

Chrome works fine. I'm using it (unfortunately) now in order to contact you.

When using FIrefox, it starts and does some partial loading, but then stops responding. On the default Firefox startup, about 1/2 of the "thought provoking story" pictures load. If I go directly to Youtube, for example, again....it starts loading then "hangs".

I can't close Firefox either: the window closes, but it's still running. If I attempt to restart it after closing, I get a "Firefox still running" error (which also won't close it.) Windows task manager will shut down the 5-10 (it varies) Firefox processes.

Tried checking for updates. That also gets stuck trying (let it try for about 10 minutes). Don't see any "reinstall" option.

Tried "Refresh Firefox" (fails....Firefox won't close). Tried "Clear startup Cache)" (same) Tried "Troubleshooting Mode)" (same)

Should I delete it and download again?

I have been dealing with an issue in Firefox on Windows 11 for several weeks now hoping for a fix soon but it has not come yet. When I am browsing on eBay, it will lock up and I have to identify the thread in Task Manger and kill it (just the runaway thread, not the entire program). I can then continue of eBay for a short time before it happens again. This only happens on eBay while just browsing, not bidding/buying. Is anyone else having this issue?
