I downloaded Firefox not too long ago to combat the fact the Microsoft Edge wasn't working correctly, but ever since I downloaded Firefox it's been making my computer run really slow on the browser. Things are often slow like scrolling up on and down pages websites like Pinterest, and the text when typing on Google docs takes a moment to show up after I've typed it and not instantly, for example.

I checked my computer's task manager because I recently cleaned the laptop, thinking that something else was causing it to be slow, but it isn't. I don't have many processes open on the computer mainly mandatory things and my browser, since I use my laptop mainly for school work, music, or writing. Firefox opens multiple processes, the highest being 21 at one time, and takes up most of the memory on the laptop. Is this normal? Because it takes 1,094.0 MB and keeps my laptop's memory at 90-91%. If it isn't normal, how can I reduce this as well as the lag on my laptop when Firefox is open?

I attached a photo as well.

I get an error message when updating "failed to check for updates". I think I've been stuck on version 128.11 64-bit for several weeks now. This is on a PC with Windows 11 Pro.

Since Thunderbird v. 140.1 installed, have been unable to send emails. Get pop-up instruction to check password. Using AOL, which requires OAuth2. But OAuth2 no longer appears in the Authentication Method drop-down menu.

I keep installing the Add-on to customize the message body toolbar. Unfortunately, the toolbar returns after a while. Now I can't seem to find the Add-on to customize it.

Any ideas? James

Just noticed that Firefox only has translation for Chinese Simplified from Mainland China, but no Chinese Traditional from Hong Kong and Taiwan users. Any plans to get it going? I would hate to switch back to Chrome or Edge instead.

I've been a Firefox user for a very long time with no real problems, but this one may force me to move to Chrome. Recently, I've noticed that some things show up or work in Chrome, but they don't work in Firefox. I've encountered this problem more recently and it seem to be getting worse. Just today, I had a problem with the V.A. and AMC theater websites. Is there a workaround to this problem. It's going to get bad if even the government is using google extensions.

I looked at the system requirements page at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/141.0/system-requirements/ . For Windows devices, the operating systems supported are listed as "Windows 10 or later".

In October 2025, Microsoft officially stops providing feature and security updates for Windows 10. However, they offer consumers and businesses the option of enrolling in 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year subscriptions for Windows 10 devices which will provide another 1-year, 2-years, and 3-years of additional security updates. You can read more about this at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates

For those individuals and businesses who will be enrolling devices into the Windows 10 ESU program, will Mozilla continue to support Firefox on Windows 10 after October 2025, at least for those receiving security updates through Microsoft subscriptions? Or at that point will Mozilla consider Windows 11 to be the only supported Windows operating system?

Thank you!

Hey,

Just recently the Firefox Focus app I use for quick searches decided to change the white text of the recommended results go gray in dark theme. This makes the text hard to read. I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling, force quitting and changing the theme on the app and on my phone. How can I get the text back to white?

For the past 2 months I've found it very difficult to sign into my Hotmail account using Firefox. Microsoft keep telling me to use a VPN or another device. I like answering emails on my computer because of its large screen. I've tried signing in about 2000 times now. Firefox told me they can't help me because I'm not a Mozilla subscriber even though they own Firefox. Microsoft told me it's Mozilla's problem. Can anyone help me please. John in the Philippines.

When I open Thunderbird, I now get a message window asking for a User Name and password for both Caldav and Carddav.

I did not change anything in my setup and they started to appear.

Can anyone tell me how to stop these pop-ups from appearing ?

Screenshots are attached.

Thanks, David.

The suggestions and autofill section in the Firefox Focus Android app is completely unreadable when app is in dark mode. Because of the poor contrast of using dark text on dark background. I had to switch to light mode to be able to view the suggestions.

Please fix it in the next update asap. Thank you.

I'm running Thunderbird 140.1.0esr 64-bit on Windows 11, all up to date. I've tried several times to add a new account to receive email to the webmaster for my website. The email address is set up with my web host. I want to add the account so that I can test but the process hangs.

From the main page I choose Tools > Account Settings > New Account > Mail Account then provide the required full name and email address then click Continue. I get what appears to be a screen indicating that processing is taking place (the rotating circle) but it never concludes.

I used Webmaster as the user name and webmaster@mydomainname.com.

Can anyone suggest what I might do to fix this?

The automatic setup fails to find the settings when creating a new mail account.

Manually setting up the account settings returns an error that Thunderbird can't find the server. The system has no issues finding the server. Calendar in Thunderbird has no issues finding the server but when trying to setup an email account I get the error that it can't find the server.

Pressing continue creates the settings but fails to create a username and password for the account.

There is now way to create a username and password for the account so it fails to connect to the server.

There is no way to create an account by providing all the information. We don't need a nanny, we need something that works.

Why did we mess with something that worked? How do I add an account manually?
