I often browse photo-heavy websites, for example, Fashionismic Fashionismic

, which has lots of hairstyle galleries. On Chrome and Edge the pages load smoothly, but on Firefox I sometimes notice lag or higher memory usage when scrolling through multiple images.

I’d like to know:

Is there any Firefox setting (like hardware acceleration, image cache, or media decoding) that can help improve performance on pages with many photos?

Would using an image optimization extension help?

Are there specific about:config tweaks recommended for users who frequently view image-rich sites?

I really like Firefox and want to keep it as my main browser, but smoother handling of photo galleries would help a lot. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello again. Re my very recent post about a game on facebook functioning very slowly after the latest update, I now discover a worse problem with a word-game on a different site that I have also played for years on Firefox. Basically, after the new update, I find that I am no longer allowed to complete a move. Given the now 2 problematic situations I have, do I now with great reluctance have to abandon Firefox?

Hello everyone,

Like most of you, I'm aggressively attacked by advertising new tabs.

I'd like to have this: my tabs static, no movement, all fixed sizes, and no new tabs on redirects. If I need a new tab, I manually click the "+".-sign.

Fox tries to fit all tabs in, at the same time.

What I have tried so far is not working:

1. pinned tabs always get un-pinned at restart

2. pop-ups are stopped in Firefox own Settings

3. my settings in about:config: browser.uidensity = 0 browser.tabs.animate = false browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false browser.tabs.allowTabDetach = false browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 68 px dom.popup_allowed_events = False browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false accessibility.blockautorefresh = false services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.blockautorefresh = false toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling = False browser.link.open_newwindow = 2 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 3

Tabs still move, change size, and unwanted ones appear. :/

What settings should I change, add, or remove? Anyone more proficient than me, in about:config-programming?

Cheers!

As the title suggest - I am unable to access LI at all.

It's not a profile issue because it loads fine on Edge. It's not an extension issue because it causes the same problems in troubleshooting mode, and it does get me to at least the login page on a private window.

Please help. I'm not sure how to resolve this. It's blocking a lot of my work.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, this happens every so often. I use a Laptop running up to date Win 11. For the last several days, when I try to get on Facebook, Firefox doesn't log me in all the way. Pages are just frozen and I can't do anything. I back out, I reboot, but nothing works so just now I logged into Edge and am just flying around Facebook! I have changed nothing so it is not me or my machine. Why does Firefox do this? I love it and have used it for years but this drives me crazy!! Thanks

Hi Moneysavingexpert is a website that sends out emails with links for different sections of its website. I can only go to the main page, when I click other links in the email, or on the website main page, it just returns me to the main web page. I am not having issues with any other websites and I have turned some ad blockers in case it was them but I still have the problem. No one else has reported this problem on the website so I am guessing it must be something to do with my settings....

The User name and password screen cleared correctly. The next step was for a 2ed step verification with a 6 digit code sent to my cell phone. This did not work at all.
