Forum Asistence për Firefox

Recently Firefox is randomly closing automatically after downloading a file from Yahoo business mail. This happens only with Yahoo business mail and not with other websites. So, when downloading a file from other websites (gmail, etc.) everything is O.K. This happened recently when Yahoo updated its software. Also, happens only with Firefox

For several months now, my main Yahoo mail tab and also individual email tabs within Yahoo close automatically. It sometimes happens when I'm opening an attachment or switching to another Firefox tab but most of the time it happens randomly

I've turned on the setting in Firefox to get notified before closing a tab and also tried pinning the Yahoo tab but the glitch still happens. I'm not using private mode.

I can't understand why the Windows menu shows us all the open windows, in no order whatsoever. Not chronological or alphabetical, just random placements, making finding anything a dizzying & time consuming experience, as I have to look up and down each & every time. I don't know of any other browser that gives no option as to how to sort this lis.

I want to keep Google as my default browser page but the box "firefox is your default" is not possible to change. It is always checked on. When I open, it is fine, I was able to make Google my homepage, but after that, it is dumped. When I go back to the screen from other pages it goes to Firefox browser page. My hotlinks installed on my Google browser don't work either. Youtube links won't play anymore when I click from another platform. I have had an "update your Firefox alert button non-stop for many months now. It is still on even when I update. A "switch seamlessly between devices" window is frozen forever because I don't want to use it and it started when I could not turn it off.

Hi, to be honest since many years when Firefox get launched i started to use it, until come Chrome but i wasnt too much happy, but to be honest and even when now i have a bran new pc Chrome take lots of resources that firefox doest. Even this way i wish to keep using firefox but i suggest for the next update in firefox add a new feature like the last added in Edge (sleeping tabs) this just put to sleep the unnused tabs to save resources, save ram.

Thanks.

For the last few weeks, Firefox freezes up occasionally. Sometimes, I have to Force Quit to get out of it as Quit Firefox won't close the program. Using Ventura 13.0 on a M1 MacBook Air. It was happening before Ventura as well. Fairly recent issue.

Hi there! Oftentimes (but not all the time) when I am switching between windows on my Mac (so swiping with three fingers to the left or right), Firefox freezes. The very top of the screen near the search bar will turn partly black, the computer will automatically switch between windows, and my cursor will turn into a spinning circle. I have to switch to a non-Firefox window, wait, and switch back to Firefox to change it. This only happens with Firefox. Any advice?

I'm trying to add a credit card for the "autofill credit cards" feature, but it doesn't seem to work. I fill out the form, and click save, and absolutely nothing happens. I can cancel the form, but of course the data is lost.

Any ideas?

I use text replacement for a lot of things but it doesn't work in Firefox, which sucks because I like firefox

I usually sing in/up several websites & extensions like workona , linkdin, quora , udemy etc but after turning off my computer or closing firefox, & returning on new session, the tab logins automatically restores & I have to login again. How to fix it ?

First, this post is basically Congratulations for Firefox upon working almost flowlessly under this extreme heavy load without crashing. Saving/loading sessions works well. (which is unexpected but makes me _very_ happy :-)) Firefox exits properly without any exceptions, no matter how long it runs, or how many times the PC is sent to STR mode meanwhile.

Second, everything is fine, except RAM usage. No matter how many RAM is installed, Firefox takes up all of it after a few days of normal operation. I have recently upgraded my PC from 16 to 24 GB of RAM only for this sole reason to see if anything changes, but it did not produce any noticable change, except that it takes 5-7 days for Firefox to fill up all the RAM instead of the 3-4 days before. Disk space on C: drive was nullified by Firefox as the paging file went up to 50 GB.

I want to hunt down this thing. I have approx. 300 tabs, 2 addons, and Hardware Acceleration is disabled since otherwise Fox hangs several times a day (have to be killed from outside). Pics are attached. https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/ https://gitlab.com/kroppy/TreeTabs

I'd like to get suggestions where to start.

1. Disabling or replacing the adblocker ?
2. Inspecting memory usage on Process Manager (about:processes) and Task Manager (about:performance) pages ?
3. Installing some external tools like Firemin ?

Please don't suggest neither safe mode nor disabling all addons, since that makes it impossible to reproduce this amount of load, which is the primary reason behind the symptom.

I PrtScr'ed Process Manager and Task Manager, see that RAM sizes per page are normal in Task Manager, but not in Process Manager (10 times more).

CPU usage is totally normal for this load, even when memory is in the heaven. See the TaskMan pic. (I suppose that's because of ad blocking)

Thanks for any ideas,

I am so fed up losing my pinned tabs.

I want a Firefox facility where I can have permanently pinned(locked tabs) and normal pinned tabs.

The permanent ones must not be able to be removed without myself physically clicking and removing them individually and are persistent when opening new browser instances, cannot be cleaned/removed by other cleaner programs are not saved in History.

Permanently pinned tabs should show a mark on the tab like a red padlock.

I use One Tab, but that has it's down side in that it clears my Tabs from the browser in to one single tab and then it is difficult to manage them, there are others and they all have their failings.

Please provide this locked tab facility.

I have started in troubleshoot safe mode.. and disabled all extensions.. yet the problem persists the garbled text doesn't go away and today elementor also began crashing.. Hundreds of complaints like this, yet no one has found a solution.. except start in trouble shoot mode.. but then what?? continue working in trouble shoot mode? cannot add any extensions.. If firefox doesn't solve this problem.. I am moving to safari.
