This is a problem that seems to have continued through the most recent version of Firefox, and it's actually a bit worse than the previous iteration of the browser. The problem continues to be that simply scrolling through a Twitter feed for any length of time - and it seems to be particularly true when the browser tries to load embedded videos and gifs - gets you a screen that freezes, which can usually be corrected temporarily by "restoring down" and then "maximizing. Sometimes, when the browser screen doesn't fully freeze and you can see scroll bar moving up and down while seeming to drag lower graphics to the top of the newer section of page, that little temporary fixes works.
Is there any way to fix this? I've tried safe mode and all that jazz. I'm running Classic Theme Restorer as my main extension. I notice that the grey space in the tab and menus bar can sometimes mess up (i.e. looks like a ghost tab color where no tab is open). On top of this, embedded twitter videos often fail for no reason on a Twitter feed.
What kind of questions do you have for me that could perhaps help me remedy this constant situation? Anyone else experience really sloppy rendering of Twitter pages by Firefox? All of my graphic drivers are up to date, my firefox version is the most recent, all plugins (which are set to "ask") are also up to date. Currently, graphic hardware acceleration is turned off, though, I haven't really noticed any difference with this problem when it's turned on.

Ever since downloading Firefox onto this computer with Windows 7 certain websites just don't display correctly. Autotrader doesn't display link-images and some other NSFW websites aren't working correctly including error messages and just sometimes not loading the video plugin. I want to figure out the problem but I'm afraid I'm completely inept when it comes to solving a problem beyond "disable all the add ons". I've also compared the issues with my other computer that also has firefox and it does not have the problems this one does (but that one has a very slow firefox, for an unknown reason). I'm just really sick and tired of things not working on this computer only and for no obvious reason at all. Please note that the 2nd image shows Autotrader not responding to an "input" that the user (me) makes, specifically the changing the Make should load/reload the list of "Models". And the 3rd image shows a website not correctly displaying a setting confirmation message but instead displaying an error message.

When I want to select the text of multiple links, I can successfully do it for the first link with "Alt + Mouse select," which generates highlight on the link text. But when I proceed to highlight any of the other links with "CTRL + Alt + Mouse select," that link is immediately opened to a new tab after I release the mouse key, though highlighting is still done successfully.
Releasing the mouse key is the completion of a click. So the question is... how can I prevent "CTRL + Alt + Click" from opening a link? Isn't "CTRL + Click" is already there for the same purpose?
"CTRL + Alt + Click" opens a link even in Firefox's safe mode. So, it's not an extension problem.

Is there a search engine that can search only within the currently viewed site, from the search bar?
just like you can do a google search and add, for example, "site:support.mozilla.org", and google will only search inside support.mozilla.org, I want to type my query inside the search bar and do a google search within the site I'm currently viewing.
this function was available in the old Google Toolbar, many moons ago...
hope that makes sense.
Thanks!

Excessive RAM used by Firefox

I'm getting a strange jump in memory use by Firefox. I'm monitoring Firefox memory use with the add-on called "Memory Restart." I keep 13 pinned tabs on my browser (they always load at boot-up). Those 13 tabs take up around 140MB of RAM. I also tend to keep around 50-100 tabs in my browser (I used Session Manager). But when I boot up, none of those tabs open until I click on a specific tab. See screen shot -- this is how my Firefox session typically boots.
After all the pinned tabs load Memory Restart shows around 140MB in use. About 10 seconds later I get a "flash" on the screen with a yellow banner under the tab section that says "Firefox memory has increased by more than 669MB since last refresh interval" (see image). Something is causing Firefox RAM use to jump immediately from 140MB to 669MB about 10 seconds after all my pinned tabs load. What could be causing this immediate large chunk of RAM use, even though none of the non-pinned tabs have been selected. ???

I am using an old laptop running Window 7. I tried to enlarge fonts using window but that just enlarging the Roman Fonts proportionately. I tried Crtl ++ that's blown Roman Font out of proportion in order to read that other language fonts. Global fonts increase resulted in the same issue. Is there way to make fonts (no matter what language use on a website) display same size?

I recently paid a utility bill online. Today I found out the payment never went through, although I had been taken to the "Thank You For Submitting Your Payment" page. I am wanting to see if it's possible to go back and pull up that page somehow so I can visually see exactly what went wrong. I'd also like to let the utility company view it, as I have incurred extremely high charges for nonpayment. Not only that, but I had major loss of animal life.. as I had lights on young chicks and incubators going. Thanks. I'd appreciate any help / ideas you have! Lisa

Hello, dear friends. Browser updated itself to version 49.0. However, Firefox restarts and nothing happens. There is a Firefox.exe running in system processes. But there are no any error messages nor a Firefox's window. I've checked Crash reports folder. But there are no new files dated this month. I've launched Firefox in safe mode via Windows key + R -> firefox -safe-mode - still the same issue. Turned off my AV and any other soft, restarted PC many times and so on. Moreover, I've tried to install new Firefox in Sandboxie (sandbox utility) - also nothing happens. Firefox launched as a process and that's all. 10 mins, 30 mins - nothing. Could you be so kind and let me know if it's possible to fix this issue somehow, please? I've downgraded my FF to 48.0.2 and it works fine, but you know - it'd be nice to have an upgraded one. Thank you in advance.

We have about a dozen Windows 7 workstations in the office, all running Firefox. About a week ago, one of the workstations experience a shrinkage of font size in <select> drop-down lists. I reinstalled Firefox and that fixed it at first. I reinstalled Firefox again and the program has not recurred. Yesterday, a different workstation in the office experienced the same problem. This possibly occurred after an automatic upgrade to version 49. I've tried reinstalled Firefox twice, including deleting the Mozilla folders in .../AppData. This is not working. No other workstations are having this problem. Here is my test html:
<style type="text/css">
select { font-size: 22pt }
</style>
Testing Stuff
<select>
<option>The rain in Spain Falls Mainly in the Plain</option>
<option>Four score and 20 years ago our Fathers brought Forth</option>

I've attached an image as well. I need this fixed! Users are grumbling about going back to I.E. which I don't want to do.

I have poured over every single article on similar issues with no help. I have tried every single suggestion. After installing windows 10 firefox continuously crashes, I can't open more then 4 tabs at a time. The task manager says Plugin for firefox running at 1.5gb plus firefox itself running at about 1gb. My screen goes black and blotchy and then just dies. Typing this article in itself was painful it is so slow. I'm at my wits end. I feel that obviously everything worked fine on Windows 7 so this definitely has something to do with windows 10. Unfortunately Microsoft is not helpful at all. Surely I can't be the only person with this problem.

Google has suggested we contact Firefox support for this question. My site is jointmathematicsmeetings.com. When you search in the Google custom search box, no results show up from the site. This search works in Chrome, Safari and IE. There is something about Firefox that prevents the search from working. Here is the script for the search: <script>
(function() {
var cx = '006070101833274801941:25ou21ndpva';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = 'https://cse.google.com/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
</script> <gcse:searchbox-only></gcse:searchbox-only>
and here is the script for the results page:
<script>
(function() {
var cx = '006070101833274801941:25ou21ndpva';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');

gcse.async = true;

var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);

</script> <gcse:searchresults-only></gcse:searchresults-only>
Firefox is our primary browser which is why it is so important that this Google custom search work in Firefox.
