I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

When I close Firefox after the last update (current installed version: 112.0 x64 Windows 10), Firefox creates almost 200 processes (in the latest case 177), each using from 17 MB to 65 MB RAM (except one that is using over 200 MB - I guess the main one) using 100% CPU for about half a minute, and in that my PC is unusable - everything hangs. It takes a bit more time to close all of them.

Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you.

Hello Firefox,

Thanks for reading my troubleshooting question. When using the Firefox browser (my favorite by far) I cannot upload low res (500x500 pixel) Jpeg photos onto my Squarespace website. I called Squarespace and they ran tests including uploading my photos successfully. Squarespace recommended I clear Firefox cache and history. Still no good. I then ran a Firefox refresh. No good. Finally I temporarily booted the God forsaken Microsft Edge browser and My Squarespace website worked just fine. Uploaded Jpeg files successfully.

I really dont want to be stuck with Microsoft Edge. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have installed Firefox recently after migrating from Opera GX and I noticed I cannot control Twitter videos volume, only mute. I already tried to reinstall, tried with Troubleshoot Mode and I can't fix this. Is there a way to fix?

I use multiple desktops on Windows 10; usually between two and four at a time. Each of those desktops has multiple Firefox windows open.

Whenever I restart my computer (which is not often but it happens) Firefox restores all the previously opened windows onto a single desktop, leaving me to sort out the mess. Firefox also re-opens windows/tabs recently stashed using the Tab Stash extension.

Is there anything I can do to make sure Firefox remembers which windows belongs on which desktop, and to keep stashed windows closed?

For the last month or so I have had problems with Firefox using too much CPU, too much memory. This is not long after I have restarted. It soon gets so bad that there is a 3-6 second delay in anything I do. At this point I am going to have to stop using FF as it is too disruptive. Cannot place any other system changes.

I've noticed in the last week or two that when I'm on my desktop and try to navigate to an Instagram profile, that 9 out of 10 times I get the error in the screenshot attached:

"Sorry, this page isn't available."

Weirdly, if I have a link to a specific instagram post, the browser will load it. But profile page? Forget about it. Anyone else having this issue, and know perhaps why Firefox is loading Instagram this way on a desktop?

As with above title, whenever a video is next in queue and starts, the tab crashes. Also, randomly, if a website has an embedded video player, it will crash usually.

Dear,

We are using Mega-menu on our website it's a Shopify extension and it's our Megamenu is not working when we are using the Firefox browser. We had multiple problems with it when using your browser.

I found this text, that is related to our problem, but there is no replay on how to fix it https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1377960#question-reply This jQuery is not working with Firefox only

Do you have a solution, on how we can fix this problem?

Best regards, Ognjen

Hi. When opening the Microsoft Website (answers.microsoft.com) i experience some memory leaks. See photo for details.

Someone knows why?

Hi,

For years I have read directions to get my tabs back where is most logical for me, below the Bookmarks Toolbar. Now with this latest version of Firefox the workarounds I had before are not working.

To cut a long story short: I have made a Chrome folder under the Profile folder I have made CSS sheet with what looks like the commands I need. I have configured Firefox to read the userChrome.css sheet.

I have followed all the directions on this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375646 (most of which are repeated elsewhere) and it still doesn't work.

I am beyond frustrated - if anyone happens to know where I can go to request this as blinkin' option I would love to know.

Please could someone help me sort this out in the meantime though?

This is what is in the CSS sheet (which is in the correct place according to the above instructions - checked that already):

Thank you in advance.

For several years now Firefox keeps the methodology to update in the background and then force the user to restart.

This always causes some loss.

There are multiple situations where this is not acceptable. Just to give one example: I just logged in an account and clicked to receive an authentication SMS. But then Firefox forced restart and I cannot login nor ask for a new SMS because the previous request was recent.

In my opinion this makes absolutely no sense. Is there an option the turn off this forced restart?

Mozilla is great at pushing out every possible new update, no matter how trivial. Every time it does, I have to reset everything.

I've been doing this since Firefox 6. I've learned to store all my about:config tweaks in a file so I can quickly copy, paste and reset them on each update. I've included the various program settings I want, too, so I don't have to think and try to remember what each one means and what I want. I use userChrome.css to set some of my display settings, but I'm not very familiar with it.

Is there some script, program, add-on, or other method to convert this time intensive restoration of my settings every month or so for all the new updates. I'd love to find some form of a "registry.reg" type file that would work on Firefox and/or Thunderbird.

If there's something out there, I'm positive a LOT of others would want it, too.

Today I've had various problems on my Windows 10 PC such as Firefox running slowly and various buttons not working. However most of these issues seemed to sort themselves out after restarting Firefox.

However, I cannot get my projects to load in LaTeX editor, overleaf.com. Initially, the editor would load but not the PDFs. But after deleting cookies and site data the editor won't load either and I get "Could not connect to websocket server :(". I can reach other parts of overleaf.com such as their help files, but not my actual work. The problem is not with overleaf as it works fine on Firefox mobile (obviously impractical for LateX editing) and in Chrome on the same Windows machine.

I've tried everything I can think of: deleting cookies, site data, and cache; deleting History, tho I backed it up and restored it when it didn't work; going into troubleshooting mode; restarting Firefox.

Please don't force me to use Chrome.

Hi,

I am using Firefox for Linux, and whenever my yubikey is plugged in, firefox will start bothering me for a pkcs#11 password. It always happens on start-up but it gets relentlessly annoying if I happen to be on a site which potentially utilizes certificate auth, which I do not use this yubikey for.

I do however use it for 2fa, which does work perfectly fine.

How do I permanently stop whatever Firefox process keeps bothering me about this PKCS#11 password for functionality that I never use?

When I go to the url https://ping.com/en-us/clubs and hit the pull down for clubs it does nothing. I have enhanced tracking off. It also says protections dashboard 28 blocked. I am unable to use clubs, bags pld putters pull downs. I am using custom setting cookies, tracking, cryptominers, fingerprinters. It must be a setting and I am unable to solve my problem. If I use Brave browser my pull downs for the clubs etc works fine. I am also using the duck duck go extension in my firefox 112.0.1. Do you have any ideas? Thank you
