hello. i downloaded firefox from official void linux repo, and have issue with font rendering or smth. in settings option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" is enabled. don't have same issue in any other gtk apps on my system.

Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

We have recently been caught in an apparent marketing test simulation by an AI provider who we would never expect to prevent productivity resulting in great harm to those I support. So when emails were going nowhere and set MFA was systematically destroyed -- I turn to FireFox ESR personal to ensure my data remains secure among those world class suppliers I have trusted for years.

I trust FF but the subtle ways in which our WIndows10Pro is trying to wipe out all relationship with other OEMs - I want to be sure that FF is set up as it should be. It appears even in FF private browser window - that the OS or Copiliot is attempting to destroy that also as part of what is some scheme according to bank Fraud experts I've consulted as a scheme to destroy Win10 home office usage and force move to WIn11.

My home PC has supported many many individuals and organizations. I cannot believe what I have been put through,. Still rebuilding relationships with the worldclass firms I rely on.

What are the definitive steps that will ensure that data cannot be manipulated and OS cannot randomly overwrite desperately needed Disabilty / Accessiblity changes needed to even see the "simulations?' at 1-2point font. This activity is allegedly CoPilot - which would be the last place I would suspect. The violations of trust and data integrity go way beyond what you might imagine.

How to protect from any and all deceptive practices where what I"m seeing and doing are not being alterered in such ways that prevent me from supporting a Hipaa client because a rogue software misrepresnts and destroys valuable data and more importantly TRUST.

Part of undoing damage due to Coplilot is to follow those I trust - so regarding Firefox I download it from official Mozilla / Firefox - current ESR version for Personal use. - I try now to do most work that requires a modicum of importance - and still each moment there's some deceptive something or other trying to deceive me into excluding Firefox.

I'm not here to blame Copilot - and MS accountability for this is reported via the public domain and several professionals I've consulted. Feeling handicapped with handicapped devices. Totally hostage to a system that wants to ensure everything we do is via Microsoft.

There's a time and a place for security we can trust. I had security keys and MFA out the wazoo. It's taken amonth to even begin to get back to a secure wiped licensed Win10 system. And the first job was to ensure the OS could not mess with Firefox. Something is tearing at that already. My only involvement with MS at this point is to ensure they don't mess with FF's integrity. The FF account is an outlook address so pls LMK if that is hurting rather than helping.

I cant do anything if trust is violated and data is changed intentionally by a rogue software. Plus the overwritiung of accessiblity / disabilty modifications is unconscionable.

HOW TO KNOW I'M NOT MISSING THE LATEST TRICKS DESIGNED to take away FIrefox or others who we trust.

when playing my game the program keeps stopping and starting. Every 7 to 9 seconds while playing my game I get kicked to the task bar and it stops responding for a few seconds and when I click to put it back on my screen and again 7 or 9 seconds I have to repeat the same thing. Bottom line is the gaming program keeps starting and stopping for a few second. This is the only program doing this. This started doing this on June 28 2025 after a new Firefox update. I played this same game on Google and it worked just fine.

Hi,

Firefox version: 139.0.4 (64-bit) OS: Windows 11

I have been having issues where Firefox tab will just crash out for no reason it appears and it happens at random times and once the tab start to crash, and I restore it, it will crash again and again. The only way tog et out of the loop is to restart Firefox.

I have tried: Refreshing/Reset, Clearing Cache and History removing all themes, disabling extensions, disabling my anti virus. Turning off hardware acceleration didn't make any different.

I currently have 2 extensions enabled: uBlock Origin 1.64.0 and Bitwarden Password Manager 2025.5.0

In the about:Crashes I have reported them all and they seem to have the same type of reasons in the Raw data/Minidump which are: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

Any help as to what to try next?

help last chance before i dump firefox!! thanks Buffy Bandley Grammy B

140.0.2 (64-bit) Windows MSIX package mozilla-MSIX-1.0 This one has access to ChatGPT, among other AI chatbots. The version above does not mention any AI products.

140.0.2 (64-bit) NO Mention of MSIX NO AI chatbots as far as I can find.

Each wants to be the default, and it doesn't cause a problem unless you try to open the not-default. Then you can either select the not-default to be the default, or NOT. Doesn't matter, as far as I can determine there is no loss of functionality whether default or not-default in either version.

However, it's a bit annoying to have two product with the same version number and different properties.

Notice, this looks like a problem that was solved earlier. But that solution involved installing V140.0.2, obviously that won't work for me.

I await your wisdom---

In preferences I have the box check for links to open in a new tab but since the latest update they are still opening in new windows. What is happening or what should I do to fix this?

Hi,

I am trying to develop a script to control extension management for Firefox on windows. I tried to create policies.json in C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution {

 "policies": {
   "Extensions": {
     "Uninstall": ["{63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}","{63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}"]
   }
 }

} This neither gets reflected in about:policies page, nor I see these extensions getting uninstalled/prevented from getting installed again.

I also tried to add extension to registry Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\Uninstall\1={63d150c4-394c-4275-bc32-c464e76a891c}, but don't see any impact.

Can someone please give any pointer for above approach not working.

Many Thanks, Gyani

I have been using FireFox for very many years. I have used the Search Bar to search -- NOT the Address Bar -- for as long as it has been available.

But the Search Bar doesn't work anymore. I enter something and nothing happens. I have tried several different search engines. Google, DuckDuckGo, and Brave. Same results.

I am well-trained to use the Search Bar. It is completely instinctual. It is very jarring to find it not working and then have to try again using the Address Bar. Again and again.

Further, I absolutely HATE it when a Text Input Field is used to do different functions like this depending on what I enter.

Is this by design? I.e. are they getting rid of the Search Bar? Or is it a bug?

If it's not a bug, I don't get it. Why would Mozilla antagonize the few users they have left? Further, why would they waste the few resources they have left to do something like this?

Hello,

I have firefox set as my default browser, and under settings it states that firefox is my default browser, however, Google persists. As soon as i type any letter into the search bar google appears.

I have read all the readings, am fairly savvy. restart after selection only having to go through the process again. See attached.

Please help

The recent update has basically wiped out my Firefox information and set-up. I have a lot of critical links set-up in my new tab. It is imperative I get them all back please. This is terrible for me.

I have already done the about:profiles, made new profile, used the file named old Firefox files (dated 03-25-25) but end up with the same crap coming up. How is this possible?

PLEASE help.

Hi,

Occasionally i get weirdly washed out colors on videos, this seems to mostly happens on my jellyfin instance on high res content. It does not happens on other browser, and the issue is very inconsistent, sometimes disappearing after a reboot, or when refreshing firefox. Same with firefox safe mode sometimes it fixes the issue... and sometimes it doesnt. Disabling or enabling HDR doesnt fix the issue.

I use firefox 141.0b4 and RTX 5070 Ti with the latest driver. Any idea how to fix this? Attached are some screenshots showing the issue
