Two questions; First is why does the Taskbar show "Firefox (2)" (see first image) Second: When trying to troubleshoot, I open Task Manager, and with just one tab open, I see Firefox (13); confirmed when the line is expanded. What is going on here and is it impacting Firefox performance; see 2d and 3d images? (Phone camera photos as PrintScreen is disabled for Task Manager which doesn't seem smart)

Hello, I'm on Firefox Nightly 152.0a1 running on a freshly installed new Windows 11 version. I've used Firefox exclusively for my whole life and everything has always been smooth until a few days ago. Firefox started (and continues) to freeze for a second or two pretty regularly, each time I use the search bar for example, open a new tab, while a page is loading (which is very slow at the moment) but also scrolling on a page for example. During the freezes, the temperature of my CPU also increase by approximately 20°C. CPU usage in task manager shows that it is quite high, 10x higher than Edge that I opened for comparison only : https://i.imgur.com/enuMMZl.png.
I have sought the internet for advice but nothing changed this behaviour. I updated my computer through Windows Update, my drivers through Driver Booster, I disabled hardware acceleration on Firefox, I removes all AI components with zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI on GitHub, I changed dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.backgroundUsesEcoQoS on about:config to false but nothing cured the problems.
I'm out of solutions and I don't know if I should be waiting for another Nightly build (usually there's about 1-2 a day but 152.0a1 is sticking since a few days and there isn't any update available since, seemingly), if there's others energy economy parameters I could play with on Windows 11 that I don't know about or if something else is in the way. Any help very appreciated, thanks!

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04, using Mate Desktop and Compiz compositor. I am using Firefox from the Mozilla Team PPA, currently 150.0.1. I am running custom kernel built from upstream source, currently 6.18.25. Hardware is a home brew CoffeeLake machine, i7-9700k, 64G of RAM, 2TB WD Black SSD and many TB's of spinning rust, graphics is Intel ARC B50 Pro, ASUS XONAR SE 5.1 Channel 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR PCIe Gaming Sound Card. Prior to upgrading Firefox was not 100% occasionally tabs would wedge, now if I get two hours I'm doing good, I've tried disabling extensions and plugins no help. Tried with and without hardware decoding, worse without but bad no matter. Any suggestions how to get stability back?

This new issue is puzzling:
Normally, on MacOS, when you minimize an app that's currently running and occupying the desktop, say by clicking the orange button at top left or by clicking another app, its menu would disappear from the top toolbar and other apps could then be invoked. Clicking that app icon again would restore it to the screen and its menu would again be on the top toolbar.
But Firefox has stopped allowing that behavior: Now, when I try to minimize Firefox, while its screen minimizes (revealing the desktop underneath), its menu remains on the top toolbar. It is as if Firefox refuses to let go of the controls. So, while you can see the other icons on the desktop - say file folders - they are unresponsive to clicks and do not open when you click them, as if Firefox is not letting you access File Manager.
Furthermore, you can still access these desktop file folders, but only by opening the finder using the bottom toolbar menu, not by clicking the file icons directly.
For what it's worth, all menus are still responsive (bottom toolbar, top toolbar, apple menu), just nothing that's on the desktop responds when Firefox is still running, despite being minimized.

after working in firefox for a while and using a number of windows and the I close firefox with multiple windows open in my session. if i open it again and keep doing this for a while and then have closed firefox, eventually I can no longer open a firefox window and get a message the I have too many windows opn and can't open more till i close the open windows. i hover over the firefox app and all the previously closed windows are stacked up. why didn;t they close when i exited my firefox sessions. why are they still there and clogging up the system?

Arch Linux Wayland FF v150 from Arch repos
When right clicking the context menu appears, but sometimes in odd places, and the disappears, so you can't select anything.
Same is true selecting the Help submenu from the Hamburger menu.
Restarting the browser fixes it for a few minutes, then same problem comes back.
Other people also reporting the same thing - also Linux Wayland: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1suounc/comment/oi7jk9u/

suse linux 15.6 firefox 140.9.0esr (64-bit)
An aggressive website can cause "isolated web co" processes to be started. When they hog all processors and memory, the computer besomes unresponsive. Keyboard and mouse freezes up.
Is there a way to limit firefox processes to n-1 processors, leaving 1 processor available for me to kill it ?

Not sure if this is a Firefox or YouTube bug.. it's really annoying and happens quite a few times each day I use my PC.. Is there any solution to this or perhaps reverting the update til this is resolved? I usually wait fo rit to stop lagging or if I'm not patient enough.. I'll just close Firefox entirely and re-open. Thanks.
