Hello.

I use Firefox on an computer with Ubuntu, (installed as snap) and have noticed that since the update to version 140 (specifically, version 140.0 canonical-002-1.0), closing a tab causes a noticeable delay : that is, upon any action that would close a tab (clicking on the cross, pressing CTRL+w, or middle clicking), there is a delay of about 200 to 300 ms before the tab is actually closed.

However, during this delay, the window still responds to inputs, leading to rather annoying situations. For example, during regular usage, I usually open a great number of tabs. When I am done with browsing, I close them, by repeatedly clicking the cross button on the tabs. It used to be that the tab under the cursor would immediately close, then the next tab would slide under the cursor, and I would click again to close that one, etc.

But now, when clicking the cross button, the tab is not closed, and when I click again after a small delay (because of muscle memory), the tab is still there. This cause the two single clicks to be treated as a single double-click, which for some reason puts the window in full-screen mode (but only with the snap version; I'm not sure what's going on here).

When using CTRL+w when closing tabs, the delay is still there, but the inputs are correctly handled. If I press CTRL+w three times at the usual rate, I can see the three key presses, then nothing happens for a few instants, then the three tabs close at the same time (i.e. the delay is from input to tab close, not from tab close to other tab close).

This behaviour is completely absent on Firefox (also version 140) on my windows computer.

This delay does not appear when creating tabs, and it does not occur either when closing the window or when closing the last tab in the window (leading to an amusing situation where shutting down Firefox is actually faster then closing a tab). These operation keep going at their previous speed, immeasurably fast to the human eye.

Navigation does not appear to be meaningfully slower than before the update, and the CPU/memory usage is very reasonable.

Curiously, this appears to be a fixed delay. Closing an empty tab takes the same time as closing a very busy one. Closing a tab when there are five takes the same time as closing a tab when there are thirty.

This issue makes browsing feel incredibly sluggish.

Is there a solution for this problem ?

Edit 1 : I have tried to run Firefox in troubleshoot mode, but there was no difference in behaviour. Edit 2 : Fixed typo. Edit 3 : Added exact version. I also tried to refresh Firefox, but the issue remained. Edit 4 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.1 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 5 : The problem is still present in version 140.0.2 canonical-002-1.0. Edit 6 : As of version 140.0.4 canonical-002-1.0, the problem seems to have been fixed. Thank you.

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

I found this tool: https://github.com/james-cube/firefox-session-merger but I'm not sure if it will do everything I want to do.

Is this possible to do without using Firefox Sync?

Hello! I cannot edit our Weebly-hosted website. Firefox will not load the editor, apparently because of embedding issues.

I've tried a new tab, a new window, the private browser, and another browser, all with the same outcome, which leads me to believe that Firefox and Weebly need to have a discussion to fix this. I've also Weebly to the tracking exceptions, even though I don't think that's the issue here.

If, however, there is something I can do, please let me know.

Thank you for any help - I need to edit our website!

Dear Firefox,

I'm getting quite irate because since Firefox asked to update and restart this morning all my Amazon orders don't happen and the passwords don't work? I've always just ordered on Amazon very easily as I've been on here for many, many years!? Now Amazon keeps asking for a sign in password which I never have to do and it won't accept anything I sign in with? Its all because of Firefox's update this morning? They told me they were having difficulties and its never got put right?

Please do something about it I'm elderly and its hot and I can't keep being asked for passwords which it refuses to accept now? Please put this right?

Yours sincerely,

Jacqui Roberts (Mrs)

When I open a private window, my bookmarks sidebar is showing. I can easily remove it but it shouldn't be there. Until very recently, private windows didn't have the bookmarks sidebar. I don't know why this started but I would like to find some way to have the bookmarks sidebar NOT automatically appear when I open a private window (but of course I want to continue to have bookmarks automatically appear in regular Firefox windows). I've looked online and tried various methods that were supposed to work, but they don't. Can you tell me how I can fix this (minor) problem? Thanks.

Using Windows 10, an Nvidia GTX 1080, and a Panasonic VSX-40 receiver, connected by HDMI.

I recently got a new stereo receiver and have been seeing problems with the HDMI connection. The the image becomes discolored and green at times and stays that way until the receiver is restarted or the input is switched off HDMI and back.

After extensive troubleshooting (replacing cables, updating drivers, testing to reproduce the problem) I have determined that Firefox is the issue.

Playing a youtube video or a twitch stream has a small chance of causing the error. Mousing over a tab with a video in it causes the error almost 100% of the time. The same videos and streams do not cause these problems in Google Chrome.

I have disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox settings and that has solved the issue, but now I have the problem that Firefox is not using hardware acceleration. It scrolls poorly and generally sucks to use this way.

Is there a way to change the way Firefox displays these videos without disabling hardware acceleration completely? Chrome renders them without causing issues, and I've been unable to trigger this error in any way outside of Firefox.

I can login to research.gov on Chrome using biometrics, but Firefox is locked into demanding a passkey I don't have. How can I reset it so it offers the biometrics option?

I tried typing about:config in my Firefox address, searching for security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys, then setting the value to false, but that didn't work.

So then I searched for security.webauth.webauthn and set it to false but that didn't work.
