Dear Mozilla,
I use Firefox as my primary web browser.
I am constantly having to Force Quit Firefox in order to free up storage.
Please work on making Firefox handle storage better.
Can be reproduced after closing hardware acceleration and in troubleshoot mode. Cannot be reproduced after decreasing system scaling.

I always have multiple tabs open in my browser. Previously, I could easily open (and switch between) 20+ tabs (I have 16GB of RAM). Recently, after opening five tabs, the Task Manager shows 10-11GB of RAM (88-90%) in use! How can this be? I cleared the cache and history, but it didn't help. I installed several RAM cleaners, but none freed up the required amount. None of the five programs worked. Where does that 15GB of RAM go when I open Firefox? When will you finally implement something like Google Chrome—they free up RAM for active pages when inactive ones are opened. Maybe it's because I have so many inactive tabs that the RAM is disappearing? But I had just as many tabs before, some of them inactive, and fewer than 20 active ones, so I could easily open another 20. And now I can't even open five new ones. What's happening to the browser?! SOS!

Firefox 147.0.4 (aarch64) "hangs" for 30 seconds to 1 minute when I launch it on my MacBookPro (OS Tahoe.26.3). Itwon't open the simple web page I have Firefox set to open when it launches -- and I can't navigate to any other web pages. When I try to interrupt, I get an Apple spinning beach ball until finally, Firefox opens that first page.
After working with Apple tech support, I have disabled a number of content barrier Extensions in Firefox-- which Apple tech support felt might have been causing this behavior. Nothing works. And I hesitate to run Firefox without some of them.
I tried deleting my Firefox user profile from my computer, but all that did was prevent Firefox from opening at all.
How can I stop this?

I’ve encountered a problem with Firefox that it fills up the RAM memory to the brim (12Gb) and especially when you’re on Facebook, it doesn’t empty the RAM memory but the data remains, you have to close Firefox and lose your web page, it just fills up, Why, should it be like this, very annoying!!!? :flushed_face: //A-B/Sweden

YouTube playback freezes for a second or two every few minutes.
I have a recording with the Profiler that includes the stutter. It shows a memory drop and some "jank - event processing delay" just before the stutter happens 1m52s in: https://share.firefox.dev/4rzMNyD

Greetings. Am running Firefox 147.0.4 (aarch64) on a MacBookPro running Mac OS Tahoe 26.3. When I first launch Firefox, it sits and does nothing for 30 to 45 seconds, I have it set to open a National Weather Service forecast page at startup, but even if I try to type in a different URL, Firefox won't allow me to do anything --or even quit the application -- until that first web page finally loads. Have tried clearing all history, including cookies and site data, but that does not help. The hangup was even longer until I worked with Apple tech support to turn off some universal add-ins like Content Barrier (Intego) or anything that acted like a VPN. Apple told me the hang is apparently caused by a Firefox add-in or extension. But I can't figure out how to find any or how to turn it off.

There is a stuttering when i browsing, i do a lot of switching tabs when browsing. The stutter occurs at about every 15 sec, the browser like stopped for half a second, doesn't much but annoying. I cant scrolling, it stopped showing next alphabet when im typing, but still registered what im typing. but when playing videos on youtube the videos is not affected. i do running adblock ublock origin, i tried to switch it off, but it doesnt much affect my laptop performance, and the stuttering still there. i have also have tried doing gfx.webrender.layer-compositor set to true on about:config
