I used firefox troubleshoot mode to see if the problem is caused by an extension etc. But my tabs were still crashing, this time, firefox as a whole crashed. Sometimes a tab crashes, and sometimes firefox crashes. I tried to troubleshoot with an llm, it said that i don´t have enough RAM, i have 8Gb, but its shared between RAM and VRAM. I was on fedora before, the problem occurred there so i switched to mint with the thought that mint is more lightweight so it should have more RAM available for tabs. But that wasn´t the case. Sometimes i only have 1 tab open, nothing else on firefox and on my laptop open at that time, but the tab still crashes.

I hope i´ve provided enough information, if not, let me know what your missing to fix and i hope i can provide it :)

I pressed the backup button to backup my firefox stuff before switching to linux, and now that im on linux the file i was given a docx file, is completely unusable to restore anything, meaning that about a dozen of my accounts are completely lost, I did not do anything to the "backup" file besides put it into my google drive.

Hello, I bank with Fifth Third a regional bank in Ohio. I travel a lot.illa not have a While on a trip I was unable to connect to my bank. One of the issues they mentioned is Firefox is not secure and thus will not interface with their system. My question is why does Mozilla not have a team which inter-acts with banks to insure that Firefox works properly and is considered safe, secure, and reliable? Thank you, Bill

When attempting to reverse-image search an image, Google Image Search replaces the image with a blank white image.

Steps taken: Verified resistFingerprinting is false. Enabled it, got the usual colored crosshatch image. Disabled, got white box. Tested with PhotoPea (works just fine there). Tested with Chrome (works just fine there). Disabled ETP and generic tracking protections. Tested in private window (nope). Pasting to MSPaint, worked. Saving as an image file and trying to upload that way, nope.

Open to trying more things.

146.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Addons that may have caused issues: UBlock Origin TamperMonkey Disabled both, same results.

This isn't exactly something that is broken but it is something that is plenty weird and I wondered if anyone has an idea how it happens.

I shut down my Linux laptop one day and when I started it the next day, all my tabs were gone. Annoying, but I spent some time searching for the most important ones and got on with my life.

We have a class picture book that is only accessible by faculty from campus or using the secure VPN. It helps us to learn people's names. It is an HTML file. One day, I needed to look someone up. Ordinarily that would open a new tab in the browser I have running, but it didn't. A whole new Firefox appeared for it and there were all my lost tabs.

Wut?

Now I can use the picture book to alternate between my old tabs and my new ones. How on Earth can this happen? It isn't exactly something that is broken, just something I don't understand.
