CPU temps jump briefly from 33 C to 65 C , with attendant heavy processor load. Temps usually jump when a new web page is loaded, but occasionally jump when the browser is idle.
I am on the latest snapshot of the openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling distro (20190209), with Firefox 64. The problem started several snapshots ago (after mid-January).
The problem occurs in profiles with and without extensions.
I tried the troubleshooting steps at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-many-cpu-resources-how-fix
Any troubleshooting ideas will be appreciated. I'm now using another browser, but would prefer to return to Firefox.

Firefox kills network with chatter

I'm running Neon 5.15 (Linux KDE desktop running on Ubuntu 18.4). I have been running Firefox Nightly. I reinstalled my OS due to a hard drive issue. Now Firefox sporadically fills my network with chatter, preventing other family members from being able to access the internet. I have: tried installing Kubuntu - same issue renaming .mozzilla and allowing Firefox to create a new profile allowing Sync to provide bookmarks, etc. - same issue disabled all addons: extensions, themes, plugins - same issue used standard version of Firefox - same issue
To ensure it's actually Firefox I've been using Chromium (open source version of Chrome) for the past 3 days and have had no issues. I'm using Firefox to write this but have had to close it 3 times due to network chatter.
Please help, I don't want to use Chromium, I want my Firefox back. I've been using it since version 0.5.

Hi, I have a problem with checkboxes and radiobuttons in firefox.
It renders a checkbox in grid-like pattern when the checkbox is styled with width and height attributes. It can be best seen in the provided image together with inspect-element for that checkbox. The relevant site is https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/w3css_input.asp. But it can be done for any checkbox.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I've updated to Firefox v65 but the problem persists. In Chrome it gets rendered correctly.
Please advise on how to fix this behavior.

Hi all,
I use Firefox for all my browsing needs, except for fullscreen vnc (via Apache Guacamole). For that I use Chrome, as Chrome sends my ctrl-t to the webpage, and does not try to open a new screen itself.
Can this be done in Firefox? Can Firefox send ctrl-t/ctrl-w/.. events to the webpage instead of handing it itself?
Thanks! Eathan
Why do some sites, when open in a Private Window, keep cookies after PW is closed?

I open sites only in private windows. Then, generally, I close the private window and all its cookies disappear as it should. However, on at least two sites, eBay and yahoo finance, when I close the private window, a cookie for that site remains. I use Cookie Quick Manager extension (and set it as my home page) so I can see what cookies are created and removed. But when I open the yahoo page, for example, http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/%5EDJI,IBDM,SCHH,PFF,CTL,ONEQ,FXI,CXSE,GXC,CSCO,NLY,VZ,ECOL,FUTY,BA in a new private window, even if I open no other windows but then exit the private window, a yahoo cookie remains.

I run a Linux lab using Centos 6. All the users have their home dirs on a NAS which are mounted using autofs All the user are authenticated using ldap The problem is that when a user opens Firefox for the first time it takes a very long time, it look like Firefox has failed to start but after a long wait it starts. The next time the user start Firefox it opens fine with no delay. However, If the same user logouts of the computer and then moves to a different computer the same problem occurs. As I understand things, Firefox writes a bunch of files to the user's home dir on the first time startup. Maybe the fact that the home dirs are NFS mounts might explain the delay. However, when the same user moves to a different computer then there should be no need to write any more config files.
What can I do to improve this?

I have just opened my laptop from it's 'sleep' and now, when I open Firefox, *as well as* opening the custom homepage, it open 2 instances of the same webpage.
I have checked that the 2 other are not listed alongside the custom homepage - only my homepage is listed.
If this is going to involve looking at my user profile, I will need step by step instructions please.

When dragging anything from Firefox (like text or image from page content, or the SSL icon to save a link to a page) it captures my arrow keys and interprets them as mouse movement. When I press alt during the drag the mouse movements become faster (more distance for every arrow key press).
I suspect Firefox as the culprit because I have not experienced this feature in any other application, and I drag around stuff between various applications with my mouse a lot.
This feature hinders me in dragging stuff to other virtual desktops because it blocks me from using my strg+alt+arrow-key shortcut to switch through my virtual desktops. Can this (obscure hidden and to me useless looking) feature be deactivated somehow?
Thank you for your help!

I need to change some shortcuts from Ctrl+Smth to Super+Smth (e.g. I need to open new tab by Super+T). How can I do it in Firefox 65 (Ubuntu 18.10)? Don't find anything in about:config. Is there separate settings tab with list of shortcuts? And if no - where and how can I remap bindings (config files?).

When I install firefox on ubuntu through snap package, the downloads folder defaults inside the snap (/home/<user>/snap/firefox/common/Downloads/). I would like that to be defaulted to the users downloads folder (/home/<user>/Downloads/), which is how it works in the chromium snap. What's the best way to reach out to the developers that maintain that package, to maybe add that change?

I am having issues with some videos having no sound on my desktop computer even though I know they have sound and the sound works on my cell phone, tablet, laptop, and siblings computers. For example: These maths videos through Khan Academy have no sound on my desktop (but do on all the other devices) https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-review-multiply-divide And none of the longer videos on this channel have sound (warning: NSFW / not child-friendly content) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJW9YScngZyevv40qOS5QYQ/videos but some of the short ones do like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45OvAn487n4&t=6s have normal sound. The Sips Live channel used to have sound on my desktop too but doesn't now and they all have sound on all of my other devices.
after fedora linux upgrade of firefox, cert error on google homepage

Bug 1648617 on redhat bugzilla is not getting any attention ... nine times out of ten when I open firefox it goes to a page saying "your connection is not secure" when visiting https://www.google.com/ If I hit alt-home to go to the home page (google) about ten times, on the tenth time approximately it will load google successfully. Then it works fine for a few times. If I launch a separate instance of the browser it works okay. Then if I close firefox and do not use it for a while it goes back to the original state of not working.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. start web browser, assuming home page is https://www.google.com 2. 3.
Actual results: Your connection is not secure
The owner of www.google.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER There are tons of error reports on the firefox website pertaining to this. looks like jscher2000 does not think something is wrong and thinks firefox is configured incorrectly, but lots of people were complaining about this. Note: I noticed that very briefly when firefox loads up, it flashes on the screen one of those firefox home pages that you get when you first install or upgrade firefox. Since this is a recently upgraded fedora from 28 to 29, I thought maybe it was getting stuck on that page (sort of like a splash screen after the upgrade). ........
when I start firefox especially after a firefox upgrade I get the above error with the "your connection is not secure" message. Then I can either press the "Learn more" button which is described above or "Back". I found out that if you press the other button "Back" it takes me to https://start.fedoraproject.org; if I press the "left" button on firefox after that it takes me to the first web page in the "stack" which is my home page https://www.google.com which loaded; but if I try a google search it does not work. The only place I could find https://start.fedoraproject.org in any configuration files is in /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/omni.ja /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/firefox-redhat-default-prefs.js /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/
The bug is that when you upgrade firefox it shows this default the first time you open firefox. It is SUPPOSED to go back to the default homepage I set for myself, https://www.google.com on subsequent invocations of firefox. But it does not. Also it gives the security error.
Can someone please comment on this? I can not use the web browser decently.
Also the firefox website said this may be due to an incorrectly set system clock or timezone. System clock can not be set in bios !!!! root@electron# timedatectl status

After the reinstallation, I, accordingly, tried to recover the dropped passwords and bookmarks, which I could not do. Services are included, they work, everything seems to be in order. What to do?
