Firefox consumes almost 2Gb of RAM with only one tab open. I find this surprising, and it's a major performance issue for me.

Do you have an explanation or solutions to reduce this memory overconsumption?

Hello everyone,

I have a problem. I have seen that there have been discussions about this in the past. Unfortunately I have not found a solution and the discussions are all archived.

Now to the problem: Various pages have no favicon in Firefox when I drag them into the bookmark bar as a bookmark. However, when the page is active in the tab, a favicon is visible there.

The problem does not seem to be unique to me. Several people have tested it. It also seems to be a problem in Firefox only. In other browsers, this problem does not occur.

What can website owners do to fix this problem?

Here is an example of a site where I have the problem. www.organspende-register.de

Many thanks in advance. Best regards

Hi y'all, when I use firefox DE, there is a bug in which the search bar overlaps with the tabs, after the new release. Is this because I use a custom CSS that reverts the tabs back to the old style? I would really appreciate it if I could still use the old firefox tab style without having my search bar overlapping with the tabs

I was working with responsive view mode and noticed that sensor scroll with mouse is broken. I checked on another PC and the problem there too. I don't know how to describe it, but I made a video and uploaded it to a website so you can watch it.

It's a bit weird, I got the thing you get when you migrate to a new browser - asking if you'd like to migrate history and bookmarks. I closed it because I've used Firefox for years.

When Firefox opened proper, I got a tab asking to restore the previous session, along with a "Welcome to Firefox" tab. As well I got a few popups for other things, basically just stuff you see when you open Firefox for the first time. A couple of extensions opened up a landing page that should only open when you first install them.

All my bookmarks and browser history is there. The settings have all been reset to default. The extensions are there but all of their storage seems to be gone, like my dark reader extension no longer has the exception sites on it. Ublock has the ad count reset and most importantly all my custom rules are gone! I have spent years making hundreds of custom rules, and quite a few took hours to get right. I am sad about losing that.

Does anyone know what might have happened?

When I was looking at my about:config to see I saw these things in the modified settings.

there's quite a few settings here and IDK which are relevant. The ones in the pictures where just the first couple and I show them because they seem to have something to do with this situation "auto migrated" - when it seems like the browser did this because it thinks it migrated, the first screen I got was asking if I'd like to transfer my bookmarks and history (and good thing I closed it,or it might have deleted those too).

Hello,

Just today my UI elements went missing. For example I cant see my bookmarks on the bookmark toolbar, new tab sign disappeared. Addons are not the issue, I have refreshed multiple times with no addons installed. The bookmarks are all there, except somethings messing with the firefox. Started in safe mode, but in vain. Checked the group policy in the registry but nothing out of the ordinary. I deleted the policy, did a fresh install and still the problem persists. Tried switching hw acceleration on/off as well.

Any help is appreciated, I never had any problems with firefox before.

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.

Hi, I hope you are doing well.

I have been having issues since this morning. I am unable to open a new tab in the Firefox developer edition.

I have attached screenshots. I have tried to reset settings; I have tried to uninstall and then install again, but nothing works.

Just updated my Mozilla Developer and it removed my bookmarks (the tab is visible but has no bookmarks, and restoring them from backup doesn't do anything) also the extention button is for some reason on the left side (it was on the right side) and the "+" button was missing, had to re-enable it (AND IT'S ALSO ON THE LEFT SIDE FOR SOME REASON)

Wtf happened

hey, trying to install an unsigned extension in ff dev edition (i disabled xpinstall.signatures.required) but apparently i need a gecko id to do it, as currently when installing the zipped extension i get error "this addon could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt". does anyone know how to find the gecko id i need to use? the place i got the files from is https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/Turbo-Recadmiumator , and here is the link to the zip im trying to sign: https://mega.nz/file/EAEX2YQY#HSheD7exHjy1WfEc7dxcmnZ99H7-Gr9fbHePT6cabgc . thanks for any & all help!

When I check "Check spelling as you type" and choose size of fonts and then close my browser it doesn't remember the settings chosen, IE, when I open it again, go to settings the "check spelling as you type" isn't checked and the size of the fonts shows earlier setting

I know it takes just two mouse clicks to open the About dialog, but I'd like to bookmark it so when I check my daily bookmarks by right-clicking a folder and clicking "Open All Bookmarks", it would be displayed. This would be a convenient, albeit forceful, way to keep Firefox up-to-date. The About dialog isn't modal, so that shouldn't be an issue.

When playing any Ren'Py web build on Firefox Windows, the frames freeze while entering inputs. Depending on what is being displayed on screen, sometimes it will still continue despite the mouse movement, but most things just completely freeze up. Once the inputs stop, the frames will skip ahead to where they should be. This only seems to happen on Windows, as I was told it is not repeatable on Ubuntu using Firefox. This is also not an issue on Chromium based browsers.

... if this is even possible?

Has there been an influx of blue as the preferred icon color the latest years?

With somewhat degraded eyes, this has started to become a problem for me.

I want to have Firefox Developer edition installed, but I have to settle for the standard edition. Why ? Because the standard edition has a distinct orange icon. I am not able to quick glance at the task bar and see the difference between what window is Firefox Dev (blue icon), Outlook (blue icon), VSCode (blue icon), Azure Data Studio (blue icon), WebStorm (blue icon), 1Password (blue icon) or MS Edge (blue icon).

My problem is that my web browser (in this case Firefox) is the application I most often switch back and forth between and the struggle is real... I have to spend a lot of time looking at the task bar to acuatlly be able to see what icon is Firefox Developer Edition.

I don't need this as a feature in Firefox, necessarily, just some tips or tricks if there is any icons in the program folder e.g. I can swap out.

Hi,

I use ClassicPress (fork of WordPress) and I have a problem when requesting a password reset link for it.

When opening the email received to reset password in the firefox dev edition browser and click the reset link I receive an error stating that the link is invalid.

I discovered by trial and error that copying the same link and pasting it manually in a new tab of the same firefox dev edition browser solves the issue because then the link is recognised as valid.

This happened after the update I received last week.

I am a linux mint user if that helps in tracking down the issue.

Hello, I am a tinkerer and I would like to tweak my Firefox Developer Edition to suit my tastes, but I don't know what each of the preference commands does. Could you provide a list explaining what each command does and, if possible, how to use them? I don't want to reinstall Firefox.italic text I prefer to do things properly. Thanks
