Firefox 社群討論區

This started happening a few days ago.

I tried to drag a tab out of the main window to put it in its own window on my other monitor, but the tab just became unselectable, and if i scrolled in the tab bar, the tab icon and text would remain locked in place in the display while the other tabs moved behind it.

The main Firefox window also lost the minimize, restore, and close buttons. The only way to make the tabs work was to close Firefox and relaunch it.

I noticed this happened only after any app in the OS went full screen, be it a steam game, or another Firefox window, or a VLC window, or anything else that I did that made an app full screen in any of my monitors.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 with KDE Plasma 5.27.12. Kernel is 6.14.0-29. Display server is Wayland.

Initially I thought this could be a problem with the snap version of Firefox, so now I've installed the deb package, but the problem remains. Firefox is the only app which presents a problem of any kind when any window goes full screen.

Here's a video showing what the problem looks like, in case my description was not clear. The ghostly tab in this video is the chess.com home page and you can see it as the third tab from the top right of the video, and it remains in that position as i scroll the other tabs, completely unselectable with the mouse.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue to appear?

Thank you!

whenever i scroll trough a website in firefox, the ewperience is very laggy, feels like its 15fps. i have done basic things like disabling hardware acceleration, smooth smooth scrolling.

I get screen tearing on videos or when i scroll on any website. Only happens on Firefox, I've tested Chrome, Edge, Opera.

Smooth Scrolling is Off. Hardware Acceleration is Off. I've tried toggling "gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.force-enabled" Firefox is up to date.

None of this has helped.

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

Every since I updated my MacBook Pro M1 Max chip to Firefox 142.0.1 (aarch64), Firefox locks up & has to be "Force Quit" & restarted almost every day. Please update the app ASAP so I don't have to convert to Google Chrome. Thank you!

While running Firefox on MacBookAir with macOS 15.7.2 to browse simple websites I keep getting the below warning message. I may have 2 or 3 other apps open (like Apple Mail, MS-Word, Preview). "Heavy memory usage You're running out of memory and your Mac may become noticeably slower. Consider quitting some applications. Firefox 2,48 GB" So I quit Firefox to re-open again and continue my work. Does somebody has an hint where this message can come from ? Any settings to change on my MAC ? Thanks for helping

So out of nowhere, I can't use the back button, or delete pages by clicking the 'x. I can't even click on the settings icon, or any icon on the menu bar. When I hover over any web page title, it shows a small window of it, but I can't get rid of it. I didn't change anything, so what's going on?

I had two Firefox windows on my computer, one with a few tabs of Youtube and Twitch pages, and a private window with a single Twitch stream. I've had them and the program open for days, with my conputer turned on and off multiple times with no issues.

Today I booted a game I installed yesterday on my computer and played for a few hours, after closing the game, both my Firefox windows became completely inaccessible.

I've tried closing firefox, restarting my computer, letting Firefox create a new xulstore file and nothing has worked. I can't see the window, I can't make it active. It's permanently minimised.

It spikes Desktops Windows Manager to 100% GPU usage, it makes my PC lag and run slow, and I can't do anything in the browser cause the window won't stay open or up. I can't even open the old window and then a new one, it stays minimised and I can only see the preview by hovering my mouse over it.

I've tried GPU driver updates, I tried anti virus scanning, and I've tried opening another browser which did work. But Firefox is the one with all my saved settings and preferred browser. I also can't see the Firefox window at all when using the window key + TAB to check my desktop, but it does show up on Task Manager as running.

Please help me restore my program. I'm making this on my phones firefox browser which is running fine

Hi!

I've had issues with Firefox now for quite a while and they only seem to be getting worse. Performance is really bad, it's lagging while browsing, especially infuriating when typing as the letters come out at a stuttering pace. I've tried disabling extensions one by one, I've tried troubleshoot mode and experienced no major difference.

If I can't solve this soon enough I won't be able to keep using Firefox, as the experience is so frustrating. And it would be a shame since I've come to like it quite much.

Thanks!

Firefox has been my entire family's browser of choice for as long as I can remember. Which one am I supposed to use now that Firefox won't quit shoving bloatware and diminished performance at me? I'm also seeing articles stating that they plan on making it even worse with more AI. I'm supposed to let them steal my data and turn my browser into sludge with absolutely no benefit to myself? And they're asking me to donate to them on top of it???

Does anyone know of a viable Firefox alternative that isn't a chrome dupe?

Hi, After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my laptop, I’ve noticed that the battery drains much faster than before. I haven’t changed any settings, but the browser seems to consume more power even with just a few tabs open.

I’ve already tried:

Restarting my laptop

Disabling unnecessary extensions

Clearing cache

But the issue is still there. Is there any specific setting or workaround to reduce battery usage in the new update?

Thanks in advance!

I know this probably sounds odd but I'm not imagining it. I like many people I live with many tabs open at once. Since the 143 update I come back to my computer the next morning and many of my tabs, specifically my gmail tab and many others will not work. (Oddly I've noticed some random tabs will still work, I have no idea why) I can close the tab and try to reopen gmail in a new tab and it just sits there trying to open but it will not. I've waited 20 minutes. Not until I close firefox and restore my last session will it again work properly. Is there a bug/glitch or is there some setting I need to adjust. I don't want to have to close my firefox everyday. Edge is not having this same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my specific machine. It's like Firefox just decides to quit when I go to bed. I know it sounds crazy.

Having heard the news that Firefox's latest CEO wants to turn it into yet another AI-slop browser, I came to this forum to give feedback as an avid Firefox user over the last 4-5 years. I can see I'm not alone either; there are tons of other users who seem to feel the same way I do.

This is a very, VERY bad decision. So far, every "AI update" that has already hit Firefox has done nothing but make the browser worse and more inefficient. A few months ago, Mozilla was getting hit by complaints from desktop users about memory usage skyrocketing due to the implementation of an AI chatbot into Firefox. Now they've added AI search engines among other things. And surprise, surprise--no one seems to actually want to use these features. Why should we, if all it does is make computers run slower, overheat, and doesn't actually answer any useful questions or contribute anything meaningful?

I'm baffled at Mr. Enzor-DeMeo saying he wants to go all-in on making Firefox an "AI browser" with his whole chest in the SAME week that Microsoft has had to lower their growth targets for AI-related sales, some of them up to 50%, because NO ONE seems to actually be buying AI products. You know, on account of (you guessed it) not finding them very useful.

Other people have already mentioned the myriad of other problems with AI too, so I won't touch on those too much, other than to agree that AI is a plagiarism machine that's doing serious environmental damage. What I WILL say is that I personally have been using Firefox all this time specifically because it's avoided the AI craze as much as other browsers, or at the very least, avoided making it "opt-out" instead of "opt-in" to the same degree. But if this changes in the near future and Firefox does become yet another inefficient AI slopfest of a browser, I may seriously rethink my loyalty to Firefox and switch back to Chrome instead. After all, there would be functionally no difference between the two browsers anyway!

Please rethink this decision and consider actually listening to user feedback going forward. If Mozilla actually wants to retain their userbase, I'm sure I'm not the only person thinking about dropping Firefox for Chrome in the future.
