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.

Been using Firefox for over a decade. But lately is has become so slow now. Often freezes up if more than two tabs are open or a website is in any way very complex. What settings and issues should I check? What has changed? I can run the same sites on Brave and Edge browsers with no issues or not nearly as slow and bogged down.

Verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher einschränken oder bereinigen ohne Neustart von Firefox

Hallo,

ich habe regelmäßig das Problem, dass Firefox quasi meinen gesamten Rechner ausser gefecht setzt indem nahezu die gesamte CPU Leistung und der Arbeitsspeicher in Beschlag genommen werden. Ich surfe in der Regel mit sehr vielen Tabs. Ab ca. 100-150 Tabs benötigt Firefox bei mir zwischenzeitlich 10 GB Arbeitsspeicher und mehr und benutzt die CPU zu 80-90% sodass der Rechner teilweise kurzzeitig nicht mehr reagiert und einfriert. Besonders, wenn ich 100 Tabs und mehr auf einmal als Lesezeichen speichere (Tabs auch nur schließen, da der CPU Lüfter schon dauerhaft auf 100% läuft), friert der Rechner danach erstmal für 3-4 Minuten ein. Ich verstehe nicht, was Firefox die ganze Zeit im Hintergrund anstellt, während z.B. 250 Tabs geöffnet sind. Tabs vorzuladen macht bei der Anzahl keinen Sinn und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass man richtig voraussehen könnte, welchen Tab ich als nächste wieder aufrufe und dieser dann schon vorgeladen ist, ist eher gering. Gibt es Möglichkeiten z.B.: - den zur Zeit verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher sofort zu leeren, ohne einen Tab zu verlieren oder dass Firefox geschlossen wird? - dass es dann längert dauert, wenn ich einen Tab anklicke, da dieser ja nicht mehr im Cache ist, und erst wieder in den Arbeitsspeicher geladen werden muss, ist selbstverständlich und vollkommen in Ordnung. - Kann man irgendwo einstellen, wie viele Tabs z.B. im Hintergrund aktiv sein dürfen? - Kann man den zu verwendeten Arbeitsspeicher begrenzen? - und was passiert, wenn die Grenze erreicht wird? - Kann man irgendwo an den Zeiten oder ähnlichem schrauben, wonach Tabs automatisch entladen werden? Chrome friert Tabs scheinbar automatisch ein, zu mindest ist die performance dort besser.

Es bringt ja nichts, wenn alles versuche wird im RAM vorzuhalten, damit es sofort da ist, wenn der ganze Rechner damit in die Knie gezwungen wird und am Ende das gesamte System nicht mehr zu bedienen ist. Vor einigen Jahren ist Firefox bei zu vielen Tabs oft abgestürzt, dann hat sich schon gebessert.

Es fehlt mir an Einstellungen zur Anpassung, was Firefox im Hintergrund vorhalt und was Tabs machen dürfen, wenn sie nicht aktiv bedient bzw. benutzt werden. Manuelles "entladen" kommt für mich nicht in Frage, da es zu aufwändig ist, bei extremen "Multitabbing".

Ich bin seit meiner Kindeheit begeisterter Mozilla Fan (seit Gründung von Mozilla) und verteidige und empfehle Firefox wo ich nur kann. Aber dieses Performanceproblem besteht schon sehr lange, ist zwar über die letzten Jahre besser geworden, dennoch zwingt es mich schon fast, nach einer Alternative zu suchen.

Generell fehlen viele Funktionen für Extrem-Multi-Tab-Benutzer wie z.B., dass man Tabs in der Leiste markieren oder sortieren kann. Ein großer Segen wäre eine Funktion, dass Tabs, die man bereits als Lesezeichen gespeichert hat oder doppelt geöffnete Tab, direkt zu erkennen sind, ohne dass man den Tab aufruft. Aber andere Thema. Ich benutze auch keine vertikale Tableiste, nur die horizontale klassische Leiste oben am Bildschirmrand.

Ich wäre sehr Dankbar über Tips zur Lösung des Problem mit dem Arbeitsspeicher.

Grüße

I have been using Firefox forever. It has been running very slow and bugging out especially with you tube on close. I've been working on this for a couple of weeks and am about to give up. My self built system is about 10 months old. Am using a completely debloated MS 11 pro 25h2. Did not ask for AI from Firefox and have disabled AI in Firefox and copilot is long gone. I have tried everything. Am about to quit firefox. Have refreshed firefox and prevented firefox from running in MS win 11 pro "efficiency mode". I usually have to exit firefox with task manager - there are usually 17 instances of firefox running. Mozilla has become Microsoft.

The system: Gigabyte B650 mobo, 32 gig of DDR5 6000, AMD 7700X processor and an Asrock 9060 graphics card with 16 gig DDR6 Vram. All other apps are running just fine. So I don't think a lack of compute is the problem.

Help please! Thanks in advance!

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/

'I am running fiefox version 147.0.3 in MacOS version 26.2. Every second time I start the program firefox tries to take 15GB of memory. The process does not respond (as this is equivalent to more than the memory available plus the swap space). I have to kill the process and the second time the program has standar memory needs. How can I help developers?

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?

[Nightly] Stutters / lags / CPU usage high since about a week?

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!

When i start fire fox it immediately opens 10 additional versions in the background which I can see in task manager and they take up a lot off memory. If i end task them they immediately come back. This only started recently. I noticed it because now when i open say a youtube video it shows it as number 4. This never happened before unless I had the same video open more than once.

If I can not stop this I will have to uninstall.
