This is the issue: anytime I have firefox open, it is running between 16%-30% CPU usage (consequently running a train on my battery when not plugged in, and making the laptop fan go wild 100% of the time, reducing battery life from a normal of 2-3 hours to less than an hour). It doesn't matter if I disabled ALL addons/extensions, same issue; closed all tabs, issue persists; turned off "restore tabs after I close firefox", issue persists; cleared all but the last 2 months of browser history, issue persists; flipped all performance/use hardware acceleration settings on and off again, issue persists; loaded firefox in safe mode, issue persists. I've searched through all possible similar solutions given on these forums, and none of them have helped, I'm at my wits end here because chrome will not do anything near this on the same computer even with like a dozen tabs open.

I have firefox on multiple computers with windows 10, both laptop and desktop, and this issue is only occurring on a single laptop of mine with windows 10, a mobile i7 processor from 2018, 16gb ram, and a mobile nvidia 1050ti gpu, so it's not like this is an underpowered laptop. I keep my browser updated, my windows updated, my graphics drivers updated, and my addons/extensions updated regularly. This only started in the last few days and the only thing that changed was a windows update (minor not major), but again it's literally only firefox that is having this issue.

Hello,

So my Firefox literally just updated to 99.0.1 and once it re-opened all of my immediate interface preferences were cleared/messed up (Addon Placement, User CSS, Toolbar, etc.) and upon further inspection my various preferences, data, and settings in my individual addons appeared to be erased or missing as well. (OneTab links, Sidebery configuration, etc.).

Syncing also appears to be disabled, as while my account is logged in I get no response whenever I hit the "Turn On Sync" button.

My next go-to move would be to refresh the browser and turn sync on to pull everything back. But while I can re-do most of the interface preferences and such, I had a great deal of links saved in OneTab for various projects, browsing etc. so I am really worried about whether I'd lose that data permanently if it isn't gone already so I'm not sure what to do.

Any help would be most appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

I use firefox, with synced settings, at both home and my place of work. I try to manage cookies so my Spotify always remains logged it when I open my bookmark. This works on my home computer, but doesn't seem to work on my office computer.

I've looked at the setting and to me they appear the same. I'm only slightly know what I'm doing so any help would be grately appriciated! One system is a Mac and one is a Windows - unsure if that would make any kind of difference.

Thanks, Andrew

Hello, Firefox has been getting worse with the latest updates to the browser. There are several websites I've attempted to visit that I received an error message when using Firefox, but opened without a problem with another browser. I am also having issues when trying to open attachments someone has sent to me in Outlook. I can read the email, but cannot open the attachments to the email. Are there any indications Firefox has been having these problems? If yes, are there fixes in the works?

Thank you, Marc

GoodDay to you All,

Website with a picture, right-click, save picture as, choosing a directory.... ... and then, normally, if there are already 3 other files in the chosen directory, let's say: house_1.jpg , house_2.jpg , house_3.jpg , and I would start with typing "hou" for a filename, then normally FF would make a "suggestion-list" under the "filename:-box", like: house_1.jpg house_2.jpg house_3.jpg

... and I would be able to click on one of them, and change the name into house_4.jpg.

But, alas, there is no more suggention-list since this afternoon. I can only type a name for the file, and that's it.

Can someon please help me restore this "save-as-suggestion-list" ?

Kind regards from the Dutch Lowlands

I put a favorite on my wife's FF (v99 on latest Windows 10 Pro). This https site should have asked to save the password - it did not. When I went to Settings > Privacy & Security then click on [Saved Logins] I get a SYNC page that tells me I have to have a SYNC account. There were no logins found, which is scary because she has 50 (or so) logins to various sites she goes to. Clicking the [Create New Login] and entering the data then clicking [Save] freezes (fuzzes out the page) and does nothing.

This Password problem with Firefox is getting frustrating enough to quit using the product. One of the primary functions of a browser is to save our passwords. I do not want to use SYNC and have no interest in using it. It is atrocious to lose my 200 (or so) passwords every month for the last three months and now my wife's 50 (or so) passwords. This FF password manager is out of control and SYNC is another technological abomination.

What in the world is wrong with Firefox. We've never had these problems for over 15 years until the end of last year and so far this year?

Hi can somebody help me please? Sitting here on Christmas Eve at work trying to fix Firefox.

In a nutshell I have a really really annoying bug with Firefox which is going to cause me to pull all my hair out.

In the past the program used to check for updates and it used to work fine during this procedure.

Lately though I've been experiencing a really strange bug.

Whenever Firefox checks for updates the browser then cannot load a single webpage or anything while it is checking. Sometimes the checks can take around 3-5 minutes to complete.

Any videos or streams come to an eventual halt.

I have tried tweak a few settings in about:config such as app.update.interval

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the browser - No change. This still happens usually about 5-8 times a day.

This computer is used for medical emergencies for our clients. We need a full functioning browser. I thought Firefox was that browser but I am beginning to think about installing something else now.

In these situations lives could be put at risk and I want to remedy this problem now before the new year. I imagine we will have a lot of patients coming in. I need to quickly submit forms at times and I really need a stable browser.

a) Can I turn off updates? I would prefer to check manually for updates once a week or so via Help -> About b) Can I reduce the frequency of the checks for updates? c) Is this going to be a normal feature for Firefox from now on?

Using tab groups extensions the behavior of Ctrl-tab shortcut has changed.

Instead of switching to last used tabs in the history it switches only between tabs in currently used group.

I have noticed it using Panorama Tab Groups but as it is not updated since 2020 I have switched it off and installed SImple Tab Groups, recommended by Mozilla. Unfortunately that behavior did not change.

How can I switch to last used tabs in history in all groups of STG?
