No other browser or software is behaving as Firefox regarding playing a tone if I select a menu pull down or Right click on a tab etc.

The answers regarding Sounds from the internet do not correct this as I've already disabled Windows tones. This is specfic to Firefox only. I've tried shutting off extensions and restarting the browser in safe mode or troubleshoot mode. The browser still plays tones with mouse clicks. If I silence Mozilla with my windows area then I can't listen to video audio such as youtube. Toggling audio off and on is annyoing and was never necessary before. This is must be a software issue within the browser.

Why the tones have suddenly begun when they never have before is a mystery. I don't get tones anywhere else.

I can't believe Firefox doesn't have a simple toggle within it's own software. It needs one now.

The icons/shortcuts on my homepage are getting moved around, added to, or deleted despite my having pinned all of the shortcuts that I want. All 4 rows of shortcuts have been filled with my pinned ones. Now Firefox is deleting/moving the last 2 on the lower right and inserting 2 new and irrelevant ones in positions 2 and 3 of the top row. This is annoying and frustrating. Thanks for any help.

I'm having an issue were any video on firefox i watch automatically pauses. sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes instantly.

I've tried restarting firefox and my chromebook, deleting cookies & cache and reinstalling firefox. but nothing helped. It seemed fine for a bit after restarting my chromebook but than it started happening again. Turning off adblock just causes it to pause the ads.

If anyone has an idea of what to do that would be great!

Firefox using so much memory that my entire screen goes black and I have to hard-reset my computer

Hi, The versions of Firefox since Feb 2026 have been extremely memory hungry on Windows 10, even though I have the option to restore tabs on demand set to TRUE in the config.

The memory hungriness has got so bad now that even on my 16GB machine, about once a week I find that my computer has suddenly run out of memory without warning and my entire screen goes black (not just within the Firefox window, the entire screen). When the computer gets into that state I am unable to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get back to Task Manager, and the only way out is to hard-reset my computer.

This means that whenever I want to do anything else remotely memory hungry, such as running my research code, or a game, or a Zoom meeting, I have to kill Firefox first. But I sometimes even end up with black screen when trying to use Word or Excel alongside Firefox.

Essentially, Firefox is becoming unusable on my desktop, and its bookmark feature is borderline unusable on mobile now since the update a month ago made it impossible to change which folder I save my new mobile bookmarks in.

So if I have two more black screen clashes I think I will give up using Firefox entirely after being loyal to it for about 15 years. This is extremely disappointing.

All of the sudden when on say a Amazon page and you LEFT click on a item description typically a page will open about that item and now it doesn't anymore. If I want to see that item, I have to RIGHT click on it and have to chose "open link in new tab" and then can see details of my item. This happens on other pages as well. I can also hold down the LEFT side of the mouse and I will see a tab open that says "we can't preview this link" and in bold text it says "visit link"

How can I get it back to working like it should. Issue is only with my laptop, my other computers work just fine.

When using Firefox on Android on a Xiaomi 15, it frequently freezes when coming back to the app and navigating.

Generally the page will go blank white and the missing bar will appear but not move. If you go to the change app android screen (square button), then the thumbnail shows a transparent region where the page content should be.

Closing the app from there and restarting it usually resolves it, but you will have to re-enter the address or search query.
