After a few hours in Firefox, the hard drive begins to be very active, and display progress slows until system becomes overloaded. Sometimes I can wait it out, but more often I have to press reset to regain control. I found this section in the log:

I use firefox to display markdown. Vim with a plugin from github (iamcco/markdown-preview.nvim) to renders the markdown. I have focus under mouse and I keep the mouse in vim all the time. But still I need to click the button every time a new tab with markdown is created in Firefox. Firefox steels the focus and my typing is transported to Firefox instead of to the editor.

So, How can I disable Firefox form steeling focus from vim when a new tab is created?

I'm on linux: manjaro-kde. Firefox 110.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Manjaro Linux Manjaro -1.0

BTW. thanks for a great browser, that is highly customizable and that you still let me use ublock origin :)

Hi there: I can not type Chinese and Japanese in recently updated Firefox. It is work well some versions before.

MS Office 365 Excel is OK. MS Office 365 Word is not OK. I only can type English but no any CJK characters after feeding newline. MS Office 365 PowerPoint is broken too.

It is work well with Google Chrome browser on Linux.

My system: OS: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid Firefox: Mozilla Firefox 110.0.1 (From https://www.mozilla.org/zh-TW/firefox/download/thanks/) IME: iBus 1.5.27

Hi everybody,

I would like to create new firefox profiles which are preloaded with extensions of my choosing. This is for my own personal use - I am not an enterprise user. My OS is NixOS / linux.

I followed part of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/deploying-firefox-with-extensions where

• Created a folder (/tmp/ff)
• Created an "extensions" folder within that (/tmp/ff/extensions)
• Downloaded uBlock Origin into the "extensions folder
• Renamed .xpi to the "$id.xpi" (/tmp/ff/extensions/uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi)
• Started firefox (firefox --no-remote --profile /tmp/ff/)

Unfortunately, I was asked whether I wanted to accept the installation of the extension (see image), but I would like the extension to be active when opening the new profile. One can easily see that were I to add 10 extensions, it would be a nuisance to click through the list of extensions and activate them every time I created a new profile.

Hence my question: how can one create profiles with active extensions?

Summary : UI Freeze issue in Firefox version greater than 100 Behaviour: Screen becomes unresponsive We have an angular 13 web application running in kiosk mode in Firefox using command This UI unresponsive when no interaction with the screen for long hrs and sometime it is crashing while it is getting used. We are seeing this issue in all the Firefox versions deployed in our systems that are all version 100 or above. We do not see this issue in the same base device OS and resources with version 100 and below.System Details : Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, aarch64 GNU/Linux Hardware: Jetson Xavier NX RAM : 8 GB CPU : 6 cores  The way we solve this issue today is by relaunching Firefox. Just by closing and opening the browser makes the UI is responsive again.

My corporate network is being hammered by connections to firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net.

When looking at the squid logs, I see the following: access.log:1678216931.488 170104 1.2.3.155 TCP_TUNNEL/200 11400353 CONNECT firefox-settings-attachments.cdn.mozilla.net:443 - CARP/1.2.2.11 -

If I understand correctly, this connection is to download new files that pertain to security, cert revocation lists, blocklists, plus a bunch of non-security related stuff.

The question is, how do I make this file downloaded as small as possible while still keeping the security bits... (saw this page, and followed what I thought pertinent https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections) The second question is... can we change the download schedule of these downloads?

If you are asking why I am having network issues over 11 Mb, the answer is that all my clients go through a corporate proxy... We have many thousand devices and last time we choked the network with 80GB downloaded on a timeframe of 15 min.

Thanks much!

If I close developer tools while execution is paused, from F8 or by hitting a breakpoint, I can't find a way to resume the execution (with F8, F9, or by re-opening developer tools). Additionally the Threads section on the right is missing. Is there a way to resume the main thread?

I've just discovered, that by typing text into urlbar and then clicking enter while holding SHIFT or ALT leads to a different behavior by opening tab in new window or new tab respectively.

But I have custom layout with caps+space acting as enter via xkb 8-level mapping, and that enter always opens new tabs. I suspect what is happening is that firefox thinks that I have alt down when the keyboard state is in third level. But I don't really use those modifiers so is it possible to just disable this behavior and open everything in same tab?

When I try to google some absolute file path (e.g. /etc/fstab) in the address bar, instead of googling, it just opens the file from my local filesystem (as file:///etc/fstab)

I know that I can use search keywords or quote file paths, but even so, I think that users hardly ever use browsers to open local files by absolute url. So this UX totally disappoints me because I need to keep this in my mind every time I want to google file or I lose my mental concentration and then I need to change the focus from solving my issue here and now to fixing this misbehavior

Can I somehow fix this behavior with about:config?

My previous avatar was transparent and looked good on both dark and light browser themes, but I've made a change, uploaded my new avatar on the Firefox Account page and... transparent parts of the picture have become gray, and now they look very ugly on light themes in the browser (or on Firefox/Mozilla pages). But I can't even turn transparent parts into white because it still looks awful with dark browser theme. Is it a bug, or is it an intended change?

Hi, I've been having problems with my Firefox. After some time (~1 day?) all websocket connections stop working until I restart the browser. In JS console I can see "Firefox can't establish connection to ws://..." (or wss://).

This really affects all pages, for example Discord, Onshape, Jupyter notebook, and 100% gets fixed when FF is restarted.

I'm looking mostly for some debugging tips. So far I've tried increasing `network.websocket.max-connections` from 200 to 500, without any luck. I have also tried to examine some pages for open websockets using developer tools, but didn't find anything suspicious.

I'm running version 110.0.1 built on Gentoo, but this issue has been with me for couple versions already. I have a few extensions, including uBlock origin and leechblock, approximately 100-200 open tabs in 4-5 windows at all times. Restarting firefox every day is not the worst, but I'd definitely prefer to not have to do that

Sometimes, usually, when I watch YouTube, I could see in the Process Manager (about:processes) that GPU process takes 2-3 GB. YouTube could be open in multiple tabs, but I watch only in one tab. All other YouTubes have been stopped. (I have always the latest version of Firefox. ) Is it a bug? Maybe disable hardware acceleration?

I am a consultant and I have, typically, about 2-3 clients ongoing at any one time. These clients, inevitably, each assign me a Microsoft 365 userid. I also have my own personal Microsoft 365 userid.

Unfortunately, given Microsoft's fairly aggressive attempts to "capture" my attention, it has "remembered" each and every one of these accounts, and it sort of tries to log me in all the time with the wrong account into different clients' Office 365 online platforms. So I sometimes find myself sending external mails from the wrong accounts etc. It really is a mess, because then certain O365 "policies" from one account, prevent another account from logging in, for example, creating what I suspect is an almighty spaghetti bunfight of clashing Microsoft properties in my browser.

So I thought I'd assign each client their own container, and using the multi-account container addin, I though this would segregate the accounts, by setting it up automatically to open my different client O365 bookmarks in different colour-coded containers.

Unfortunately this not seem to keep Microsoft in check. It seems to be able to "see" other MS logins across containers, because a few hours ago I experienced a situation where in Client A's container, Microsoft decided that I should be logged out and logged back in with Client B, for some unknown reason, probably because I had logged in as Client B in another container tab. But this doesn't seem to happen all the time. I can't pin down exactly when it happens. Microsoft is basically able to see across my containers, it appears.

Is there any way to keep each Microsoft account where it belongs, namely strictly inside the container tab I have assigned each to? Facebook style? With a nice high unclimbable fence?

I am using Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 (current release 111.0, but the problem has occured over the last two releases). I like to open the individual page from a Youtube playlist so that if I get distracted, I won't lose my place. I do this either when disconnected from the internet or using the "work offline" feature. Previously firefox would show either "Problem loading page" or "Serve not found," but now it keeps trying to load youtube which sucks up time, cpu, and memory.

These are pages that I have never been to before so there should be no record in history, but even so I have tried clearing my history and this did not help. I have tried a bunch of other sites, but Youtube is the only site that I have seen this behavior on. Attached is an example (The google page and the first youtube tab were loaded online). The shown youtube tab (second tab) and a random webpage from google (last tab) show this behavior.

Could you please help me.

In about:config, I see two settings for controlling the minimum amount of time for DNS cache expiration: network.dnsCacheExpiration and network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod. What is the difference between them? They are both set to 60 seconds by default.

When DNS over HTTPS is not enabled in Firefox and I set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, evidence from about:networking#dns shows that the minimum DNS cache expiration time is indeed 600 seconds. However, when I enable DNS over HTTPS and set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, the network.dnsCacheExpiration setting seems to be ignored. New DNS cache entries are able to have far less than 600 seconds to expiry. Why is network.dnsCacheExpiration ignored when DNS over HTTPS is enabled? Could this be a bug in Firefox?

I use Ubuntu, the version is 22.04.

The problem is - Firefox doesn't open:

1. Download folder. In "downloads" list, there is "Show in folder" button on the right, nothing happens. 2. "Upload file" on any site. When I click, I expect to see my file manager (Nautilus), but nothing happens again. 3. (Might be related) Firefox doesn't open Zoom and Telegram (http://t.me/...) links also.

Please, help.

Is there some way to hide all the menus at the top like F11 does, but still keep the total size of the window unchanged? I would like to look at webpage in "read mode" on for example the left half of my screen.
