Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

I am just an average end user and want to alert you to my problems and would love a solution. I am sorry that I don't have the kind of specificity in the details which might help (I am too busy doing other things and when firefox becomes too much of a pain, I generally close it and switch to another browser). I am providing my general observations. On my updated windows 10 64 bit system, firefox v148 seems to have made the browser unusable for me. Other browsers do not suffer similarly (Chrome, Edge, Opera, duckduckgo). I have had these types of issues with Firefox in the past, but they resolved with prior updates. I am at the point of switching to another browser - I hate the thought of it, but Chrome seems to be the most stable and functional. Symptoms:

• Firefox browser and the computer gradually become slower as firefox starts hogging cpu and memory and starts using a lot of power
• extensions stop working - eg, Keeper extension stops filling fields or fills incorrectly, Malwarebytes extension seems less responsive, running background sounds makes things even worse (https://www.mynoise.net/) and web pages with continuous updates (eg, map.purpleair.com) stop working altogether
• other pages stop loading, load with errors ('bad connection') or load very slowly, especially, but not always, those with more security, eg, my bank or retirement funds sites.
• after i close Firefox and start fresh, symptoms resolve, then rinse and repeat.

The previous version worked great and seemed to solve similar issues I have had with earlier releases. I assume the last stable release for me was one of the 147 versions. but when things are going well (which is most of the time), I'm not watching closely, or at all.

Could someone please help me retrieve my crash report history? My Firefox crashes more than 10 times a day. When I check **about:crashes**, it doesn’t show any reports right now, although I saw some there a few days ago. Is there any way to recover those reports so I can submit them here for further guidance from experts?

I use Firefox and Chrome to access Jigsaw Planet. Firefox will not let me move a puzzle from one album to another. Screen turns gray. It will also not let me change to full-screen. Screen turns black. I have no problem doing either in Chrome. Dell Desktop PC - Windows 11

Recently, whenever I put a video in PiP, the whole browser freezes. I'm not sure what causes it. The PiP player itself is playing and working fine, it's the browser as a whole that freezes completely. I can play/pause and even pop it back to its tab, but when I do, the browser is inaccessible to me because it freezes, despite the video still playing normally. I can only terminate the browser with Task Manager, otherwise the video will continue playing and the Firefox process goes on the background.

I have tried Googling for a way to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Some of the recommendations were to turn Hardware Acceleration off, allow autoplay, upgrade GPU drivers, and test in Troubleshoot Mode. I have autoplay completely off (including in about:config) and gave an exception to YouTube. I don't think this is the problem though, because I've had it set up this way for a long time, and the browser freezing only started happening recently. I have had Hardware Acceleration off for a while too, so it's not because of that. My GPU drivers are up-to-date (Nvidia). The browser still freezes in Troubleshoot Mode.

The problem is not limited to YouTube. Wherever I can pop the player off with PiP, it will freeze the whole browser (like Twitch or any other site with video player capabilities). I tried playing a video in a different browser and it worked just fine with no freezing, it only happens in Firefox.

I noticed that the common issue people report is the PiP player itself freezing, but my case is the exact opposite. The PiP plays fine while the rest of the browser freezes. I really like this feature and don't want to turn it off if possible. I like to pop the video out and watch it play while I scroll around on my desktop.

You say to go to the download page and my version of Windows will be detected & you'll give me the correct version. However, IE 8 in Windows 7 won't go to your download page. So, I need to download from another computer and copy the file to the Windows 7 computer. This doesn't work when you detect that the computer doing the download is a newer computer. How do I tell your system to give me the Windows 7 installer?

I can access my credit union using firefox on my phone, or even this computer when using MSN. I can NOT reach my credit union on this computer using firefox. I get a 403 forbidden message.

firefox removed my bookmarks and they had no right to do so. This upsets me big time, and like everything else they have no phone line to cll for support. firefox is a real pice of work.

How do I completely uninstalled Firefox and revert back to the previous version, and turn off auto updates?

I have been with Firefox since Netscape Navigator so I understand how it works. I have a Bulletin Board Forum (work on it daily). Posting to the forum using long form bbcode is very time consuming and tedious.

I've been using bbCode for Web Extensions (bbCodeWebEx) (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bbcodewebex/) for years and up until the recent Firefox update it has worked perfectly.

Matthew G. Saroff (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/96273/) was the developer of the extension.

I have tried using the extension on multiple sites. The extension is there and functional but nothing registers in the edit windows. not even here.... I've looked for replacement extensions but none have the specific abilities I need for posting on my forum. Specifically- The ability to select an img coded image address and make it link to a specific webpage url. Other common bbcode can be tagged using the edit window's fully enabled wysiwyg editor.

I'm not sure if other extensions are having issues with this release but the rest of my extensions function normally. Something changed which blocks the paste functionality of the coded clipboard text into the edit window. I might be a developer issue but my question to him is, as so far, unanswered.

I tried to install an older version of Firefox, Downloaded the install, created a new profile, uninstalled this version and it worked until I restarted Firefox (with updates set to manual). It automatically updated and I lost it again. I tried using ~about:profiles~ to revert but it reverted as that profile this version. Years ago, I used Waterfox so I could use the Legacy extensions. I stopped using it when I got accustomed to the new extensions. For the past few years, Firefox is the only browser I use. I don't want to have to cut my teeth on a new browser but as the administrator for my forum, I use bbcode everyday.

I am wondering if any other Firefox users are having issues with the recent update? Thank you for reading my concerns.

Why can't Firefox open .mht email extensions within its default browser? It has never done so to my knowledge. They always point to Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge.

Often an email may not display images correctly and the ability to open them in a web browser is offered, "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser." This is certainly a development addition when people view their Gmail from Firefox or use Outlook. Not everybody uses APPS. People who don't want Microsoft Edge watching every move they make have made effective permanent changes in removing the deep embedded PUP by Microsoft.
