With the new profile manager your have to choose a Profile that you have to open on system start. That is okay, but I often change between two main profiles, "Homelab" and Personal. That means if I close Firefox and open it again it defaults to open in the last profile use. When I get an idea, I like to start researching and testing before i get side tracked

Is there a way to specify to open a link in a particular profile, like with Edge you would do something like: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"

Thing I have tried:

• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -profile-directory="Profile 2"
• C:\Users\%USER\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vlfrd90t.default
• "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox.lnk" -P [also -profile] "[Alpha-digits].Profile 1"

Any assistance would be appreciated.

The same thing happens on my two Dell laptops (Inspiron and Latitude), and a Hyper-V VM (on my desktop PC). They all run Bazzite Linux 6.17.7-ba25.fc43.x86_64.

A video may play for a second or two, and then it's either a black screen, or an error message of "The content doesn't seem to be working."

On the same two laptops and VM, the Chromium Browser, and LibreWolf (a fork of Firefox?), have no issues playing the same videos.

Firefox version on all three systems is 147.0.3.

Any help/guidance welcome with thanks.

Hi

I have tried to launch Firefox a number of times today and every time it has frozen and does not respond. When trying to select the option of opening the software in Troubleshoot mode, once again the software freezes and I am unable to open the software in Troubleshoot mode . I have tried shutting and re-opening both the software and my laptop but this does not resolve the issue. Can you please either resolve the issue of the software freezing or tell me how I can resolve the issue.

Hello Community,

I have been experiencing significant issues with Firefox for the past couple of months. The main concern is high CPU and RAM consumption during video playback, especially on YouTube.

This issue started appearing only for the past month or two; it was never present before on the same system, and no significant hardware changes have been made.

Crucially, this problem is exclusive to Firefox. I have tested video playback on other browsers such as Google Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge, and do not face any similar performance issues with them.

Your assistance in resolving this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have updated today 2-7-2026 Read Aloud on Windows 11. It said I needed to allow permissions on 3 things. 2 of those things on the same page had slider controls for permission which I turned on. The 3rd thing is not present. It is supertonic.ttstool.com

I want to make sure my new update to Read Aloud will continue to work well. I have low vision and use this add-on a lot.

I'd like to know how to check that Read Aloud has the permission it needs for supertonic.ttstool.com

I can't pull up the original screen or I'd tell you what the other two were. One I think had to do with permission while navigating.

Thanks.

I use Firefox on Windows. I like it. But I also have an HP Chromrbook and I would rather use Firefox than Chrome. But I really don't want to do the entire Linux dance. Is there an easier way to get Firefox for my HP Chromebook?

bold textI do not remember ever having a Mozilla master password. Because I do not remember having a master password I do not have a recovery key. How can I find these if they do in fact exist/

I have Norton 360. I just reinstalled a brother printer and now I get the "Your browser is being managed by your organization". While I sync with my laptop, as others have said, I'm not an organization. There is an Enterprise policy .

Active Policy Name Policy Value ExtensionSettings {"firefoxhpsureclicksecurebrowsing@bromium.com":{"installation_mode":"blocked"},"firefoxhpwolfsecurityextension@bromium.com":{"install_url":"https://addons.bromium-online.com/wsx.xpi","installation_mode":"normal_installed"}}

I can't store or edit any bookmarks. How do I correct this? I need answers in very simple terms as I am very much a layman with computers. Thank You!

I have a gpu rtx 50 and recently decided to use rtx super resolution to improve watching online videos but I can't make it work on firefox, I'm currently using the DEV Edition x64 latest version HW Acceleration is enabled and I also tried modifying via about:config the lines: media.peerconnection.video.use_rtx gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-super-resolution gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia

It still doesn't work! tested in the other versions of firefox and it also did not work Using brave, chrome and edge..works normally without having to do anything. Does anyone know what it can be???

I have Updates set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" - but several times recently Firefox has blocked me from opening new windows with:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox An update to Firefox started in the background. You'll need to restart to finish the update. Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

Why is Firefox starting to install updates WITHOUT my consent?

And how do I stop Firefox from doing this?
