Firefox: форум сообщества

Gentlemen, isn't your browser using a lot of RAM? I've been freaking out about it in recent years. That's only with 25 tabs open!! Despite the fact that the system was installed just a day ago, without any tweaks!!!

When playing YouTube videos in Firefox, the video constantly hangs or freezes. I have to restart the browser to continue playback. This happens every time I try to watch videos on youtube. what is going on?

I have a problem: when I open any Instagram reels link like from google , facebook , forum , etc https://www.instagram.com/reels/****/ the browser freezes. After a bit, a “stop” message shows up. When I click it, it opens a blank page like the one in the screenshots, and the tab completely freezes — I can’t go back, forward, or even close it. Even if I close the browser, it keeps running in the background. There are no extensions enabled (I’m using troubleshoot mode). windows 10 64

I love Firefox and have used it forever. But its memory usage is killing me lately and I'm seriously reconsidering.... PC, Win11, Intel7, 16GB memory. (I'm typing this from Chrome)

I've updated, restarted, but it keeps maxing out and slowing my computer to a crawl. Somebody please tell me there's a fix pending?

When right clicking the context menu appears, but sometimes in odd places, and the disappears, so you can't select anything.

Same is true selecting the Help submenu from the Hamburger menu.

Restarting the browser fixes it for a few minutes, then same problem comes back.

Other people also reporting the same thing - also Linux Wayland: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1suounc/comment/oi7jk9u/

suse linux 15.6 firefox 140.9.0esr (64-bit)

An aggressive website can cause "isolated web co" processes to be started. When they hog all processors and memory, the computer besomes unresponsive. Keyboard and mouse freezes up.

Is there a way to limit firefox processes to n-1 processors, leaving 1 processor available for me to kill it ?

Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

Select the text in the text input box to type (overlay typing), the Chinese input method will flash, then nothing will be typed and the selected text will disappear. 在文本输入框中选中文字进行打字（覆盖打字），中文输入法会闪一下，然后什么也打不出来并且选中的文字也不见了。 As in the following figure, it almost always happens when you select and overwrite text. 就像下面图中情景一样，对文字进行选择覆盖的时候几乎一定会发生。

Hi Mozilla Can you improve firefox 115 in next update because this browser is slow and need to improvements in performance, i'm using windows 8.1 and i'm can't upgrade to windows 10

Not sure if this is a Firefox or YouTube bug.. it's really annoying and happens quite a few times each day I use my PC.. Is there any solution to this or perhaps reverting the update til this is resolved? I usually wait fo rit to stop lagging or if I'm not patient enough.. I'll just close Firefox entirely and re-open. Thanks.

FIREFOX ... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE THAN 16 GIGABYTES WITH ONLY 4 TABS OPENED. AND OF COURSE .... BROWSER FREEZES, NEED TO KILL FIREFOX TO STAR WORKING AGAIN ....

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING THESE DAYS?

Anyway to fix the issue?

For the last couple of days, the Firefox instance goes black and the title bar turns to an old windows look (see picture). Or turns fully blue, the color of browser theme, and the title bar is covered as well. There is no certain page that makes this bug appear, it appears randomly regardless of the page I'm visiting. Often it happens on the Firefox instance that is on the monitor I'm not working on at that moment. For example, I am browsing on my main monitor, and the 2nd monitor has a page open, the page in the 2nd monitor becomes bugged. It happens the other way too. Current Firefox version is 149.0 64 bit version, but i think it happened before the update too. I have already tried to turn hardware acceleration on and off again.

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

I started noticing my browser was running rough, and I tracked it down to Youtube, but only when I have a video in fullscreen. It doesn't appear to be affected by the codec, av0/avc/vp09 all suffer from it.

Incognito mode (no extensions) is still affected by it, but a separate profile + troubleshoot mode are not. My RTX 5080 is showing about 2% usage when playing a video, 0% at idle.

How do I nail down what's causing this?
