Until the most recent update, which came along with a Microsoft update, I was able to stream Peacock.com but now I'm getting an error message that my system configuration isn't compatible with Peacock. I have also had issues with YouTube, which keeps telling me that I have to disable adblockers - which I'm not running. I had another unrelated problem that I fixed by doing a system restore to before the Microsoft update, so there should be no issues with that end of things. It has to be Firefox because I can still stream Peacock on Microsoft Edge.
So, does ANYONE have any idea how I can fix this problem? I much prefer using Firefox to Edge and I don't use Chrome.
Thanks.

I am suddenly getting pop-up windows from "Firefox Software Updater" as soon as I click the Firefox icon on my desktop (Windows 11) and laptop (Windows 10). The Firefox log in the pop-up is not in color, so I am immediately suspicious. The pop-up window did not happen on my laptop yesterday, but I got it on my desktop today, for the first time. I have answered "no" to the "do you want this app to make changes to this computer?". Is this legit from Mozilla? Usually, the browser updates automatically when I click the icon, saying I am now using the latest version of Firefox. Thank you.

Hello fellow Firefox users, I sadly cannot use my Firefox (120.0.1, 64 bits, Windows 10) anymore as it is too slow to show a webpage... It's so slow, that I initially thought that I have no internet connexion at all on Firefox.
Can anyone help me figuring why my Firefox profile is so slow ?
Long story short:
- Until 2023-12-05, my Firefox was working normally.
My parameters were "No HTTPS everywhere" and "No DNS over HTTPS (DoH)".
- On 2023-12-05, I was connected to an entreprise DNS (Mangling DNS).
I cannot acces some website because of their local policy, so I changed my DNS parameters. I choose to use DoH with Cloudflare instead of the given DNS. Internet worked perfectly.
- On 2023-12-06 and 2023-12-07, same parameters, Internet worked perfectly on another network. - Since 2023-12-08, Internet is very slow. It need about 1.5 minute to get start.duckduckgo.com loading on any network.
I thought it will not load at all (timeout ?). Others webrowsers (e.g. : Microsoft Edge) are correctly working. The "ping google.com" command is working normaly on windows with 2ms delay. The DNS on windows "Get-DnsClientServerAddress" are the normal DNS of the router. Even with reverting the DoH parameter to off, I do not get back my web browsing speed.
Troubleshooting :
- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" activated.
It's slow on my home network. It's slow on a public network. It's slow on another private network. https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me a list of Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) near me, different from the DNS (IPv6) used by Windows 10. Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay). Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the same Cloudflare DNS.
- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" NOT activated.
It's slow on my home network. It's slow on a public network. It's slow on another private network. https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me one DNS from my ISP (IPv4), same value as the DNS (IPv4) used by Windows 10. Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay). Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the Cloudflare DNS.
- In about:crashes there is not relevent crash (only old crash).
- I have not changed any about:config parameters in the 2023-12-05 to today (2023-12-12) period.
- I have run mozregression GUI with no problem.
The program oppened succesfully start.duckduckgo.com . This website was choosen as it is an allowed website on every DNS.

- Firefox 120.0.1 is saying that it is up-to-date.
And as of today, it is.
- I do have some extensions (12 activated) on my Firefox, so I try without extension.
It worked but I do not understand why!
* New profile. Using "firefox.exe -profile" I created another clean profile to see.
It worked.
According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, my new empty profile uses both Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) and the router DNS from the ISP.
Adding one-by-one most of extensions (6 now) to this new profile do not break yet my Firefox speed.
* Safe Mode. Using "firefox.exe -safe-mode" I have started my corrupt profile without extension, JIT, etc...
It worked.
According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, it uses only the router DNS (IPv4).
- I can send some result from about:support if needed, but it kills privacy...
Conclusion :
I do not understand why my main Firefox profile is not working correctly. I do not see strange things when troubleshooting. Nothing makes sense.
May someone help me figuring out?

Hi:
I do genealogy and often have 20 or more WINDOWS (not tabs) open simultaneously. I also rapidly type, copy/paste, between windows, etc. and can instantly detect slowdowns - especially irksome when the mouse disappears for seconds while the system is working. I keep history and cookies...reminds me of pages I've already looked at when color change is enabled. After crashing a hard drive, I finally realized that Firefox was accessing the disk WAY too much. Even with the system static (no page changes or updates), it was continually writing to disk. Occasionally, it would take over the disk system for seconds. Over time (years), as you guys improved, it became less significant; just broken up into lots and lots of small accesses. Researched quite a bit...
Started with increasing the sessionstore interval, but still was an issue.
To solve MOST of the problem, I saw a help note. I created and set to FALSE
browser.sessionstore.enabled
Plus modified several other sessionstore items This helped a lot...
BUT this did NOT regulate sqlite storage for third-party stuff.
This is probably handled and hidden under another config section/ keyword (not called 'sessionstore', but '??thirdpartystore??' or what?) The following profile files are still handling a LOT of writes. I use Ancestry as example (the worst offender actually), but applies to other sites also.
.default-release\storage\default\https+++www.ancestry.com\ls\data.sqlite-journal ... or occasionally \https+++accounts.google.com ...
Just for these accesses, looking at 100k writes every second, like pulses. This is with only one window open and a static (no change) page. What changes on a genealogy page that requires updating every second = this is a list of dead people?? Finally, my question(s): What config sections and "keywords" handle these third party writes? Any clue/hint on how to eliminate?
Thanks

I have two monitors, and I usually keep a stream/youtube video open on the second monitor while I browse the internet/play games. I used to do this all the time in OperaGX, but I recently changed to Firefox, and I've noticed that after about 10 minutes, the video or stream stops playing, and I have to manually pause and unpause the stream to get it running again. I have checked online, and I found a fix related to the about:config setting "network.http.throttle.enable" as "false" and the "network.http.throttle.version" as "1", but my firefox already had these settings like this.
i love using the shortcuts on the new tab page. but i deleted one by mistake. how do i get it back?
thanks, michael

I tried to pay my Wells Fargo VISA bill online as I do every month. This morning it listed all my accounts correctly on the 'Accounts' screen, but when I clicked the options to transfer money, depending on the screen I was on, it gave a message "you do not have two accounts to transfer money from and to" (not the exact wording.)
I tried to use a different path to do the same thing, and on that screen it displayed the 'FROM' accounts correctly but the "TO" account area was blank.
I had to close Firefox, load Edge, and was able to transfer the money from the checking account and pay the VISA bill.
This has never happened before and I have done this transfer and pay operation every month for years. Something has changed in the browser and needs to be fixed.

Recently Twitch and WarGaming, as well as other advertisers, collaborated on "Twitch drops" Somehow, Twitch is able to determine which tab is on top and being viewed by visitors to the website. It's one thing for Twitch to know I'm visiting the website, and quite another for them to determine if in fact the tab I have open is front and center. Seems to me this is a privacy issue that needs to be addressed.? (I have not yet determined if this Twitch snooping is working in private tabs yet, but I soon will)
