Firefox 144.0 on a W11 PC with all updates.

Firefox is running multiple (10-13) windows with 5-10 tabs each. Even if all Firefox windows are minimised and not being used, memory usage goes up all the time. It is currently, according to Task Manager, using over 5 GB of 32 GB of available memory. CPU is sitting at ~4%. Individual tabs, like Youtube watching CNN suddenly freeze and are no langer accessible and can't be unfrozen by anything I have tried. Even the mouse pointer is not displayed inside this tab I need to restart the entire PC several times a day only to have Firefox usable. I have turned off efficiency mode, but this did not change anything. I'll include a system snapshot with msinfo

Any ideas?

Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.

So if you go to My documentation page , go down to point 8 and try and copy the Systemd unit file from the browser to an editor, the line returns are not preserved and instead spaces are substituted. If I copy the text from a chrome browser into an editor, the new lines are preserved. I've copied the HTML source code below.

       [Unit]
       Description=Apache Tomcat 11.0 Web Application Container
       After=network.target
       

       [Service]
       Type=forking
       

       Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.25.0-openjdk-amd64"
       Environment="CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/Base/temp/tomcat.pid"
       Environment="CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat/tom11/"
       Environment="CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat/Base/"
       Environment="CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC"
       Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom"
       ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/tom11/bin/startup.sh
       ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/tom11/bin/shutdown.sh
       User=tommy
       Group=tommy
       UMask=0007
       RestartSec=10
       Restart=always
       [Install]
       WantedBy=multi-user.target
     

So the code is rendering correctly in the browser, but is being incorrectly copied by Firefox. Note if you copy the above from this forum across to an editor the new lines are preserved, but if you copy it from the website they are not.

When I type "moo" in the address bar, the first suggestion (which is auto-completed and loads when I press Enter) is the website's base URL "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/" instead of the webpage that I have bookmarked "https://moodle.uni-siegen.de/my/courses.php".

This is really annoying because it ends up costing me too many extra clicks to get to the webpage I actually need, especially since this is a website that I have to use often.

How can I prioritize the bookmarked option over the base URL?

I have already tried switching search and suggestion options in the settings, removing the homepage with the base URL from the history, and tweaking the frecency settings in about:config, but nothing worked.

When I updated to MacOS Tahoe 26.0, Firefox prompted me to autofill security codes received by iMessage. That happened once or twice and then stopped working. I just tried it in Safari, and it does work. So, something is wrong in the handshake between Firefox for Mac 144.0.2 and MacOS iMessage. Here is how to replicate it.

Login to a website that requires two-factor authentication. Have a security code texted to your iPhone. When that text appears in iMessages on a Mac linked to the iPhone, there should be a small popup asking if you want to insert the security code into the web page. In Safari, there is. In Firefox, there isn't. This feature appears to be broken in Firefox.

Den skriver: Åh nej, fanebladet er gået ned. It is the beginning page, where you come to in order to search on the browser, that it will not show. I have tried many times, but it is still striking.

I'm running Fx Version 144.02 and still do not have a profile selector icon on my menu. I've tried manually to make it happen by going to about:config and changing (browser.profiles.enabled) to true but nothing happens.

The picture-in-picture setting use to keep the detached video visible if I scrolled the original or source page past the video player. Now the detached video disappears and reverts back to the source page when I scroll this control out of view. Is this change intentional and permanent?

I keep getting an error message when I try to open most websites in Firefox. This includes the Canada Revenue Agency, which is as secure and up to date as any website can be. This is the error message: "Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.canada.ca. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

This error message happens even when I get an update notice for Firefox and try to download the new version.

What to do? So far I have reset the clock on my Mac.

Here's a good example right here. If I tried to print this page, the icons above this box would print over the text on every page, making the text not readable. How can I stop the icons from printing???

This has now happened three times. I implemented the new profiles feature a few days ago, and have three profiles. The issue is that my main profile, every time I reboot my computer/open firefox forgets all my logins. I use a password manager and don't store them in firefox ; this has never been an issue before. It is happening on the same profile each time. My bookmarks/extensions stay the same. This is happening on sites even when I have clicked 'keep me logged in'. There is no site/login that is unaffected - it seems to reset my login status I want to reiterate this is all happening on the same profile - this is not an issue of logins not carrying between different profiles The only other setting I changed is auto-storing passwords on firefox [It had saved my master password accidentally, so.] But there were very few passwords actually stored there, and those sites worked before. I am on Win 11 and have had no issues previously

No help given - and no question asked. Quitting Firefox as there is no simple way to change fonts to a size that is readable. Going back to a browser where I can actually read the address bar, toolbar and all the other places where one has to have developer skills in order to make simple font changes. Tired of fighting crap.

hi in a new win 10 instal most text incl Fire Fox text is made up of letters [font] that are made of thin and thick lines [in the same letter]

i dont know if its a strange font or another problem, i have copied all "font" setting from my other pc where i dont have the problem.

its very distracting, would be very gratefull for any suggestones if any one can 

help thanks

Since a month or so, Firefox browser freezes when playing youtube videos. Simply closing the app and restarting won't do the trick, I am forced to open the WIN Task Manager and manually "end task" before I can watch youtube videos again ... until an hour later, or lucky a day later, the same drama unfolds. I run the newest version of each, Firefox and Windows 11. No new extensions or plugins have been added recently. What is to do here? I'm since Netscape on this route and would hate to switch to another browser... :-) Thanks in advance!

After the update yesterday, all of the pinned icons/links on my home page have been rearranged or replaced with others. I restarted the computer and also closed the browser and opened it. Still messed up, I have several that are the same link and some that are missing.

Any way to get them back in order other than trying to figure out what is not there and resetting it all up again.

Thank you
