Hi, I use a website called Slickdeals which has a lot of thumbnail photos showing the product on the homepage.

Firefox seems to have a problem with it where Chrome does not.

Scrolling fast throws it off...the screen turns white and I have to wait for the images to load. Also, the scrolling tends to get choppy while using my touchpad scroll.

I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, disabling smooth scrolling, and clearing cache/history.

Sometimes the cursor lags about a second from the arrow to the hand pointer on links to click.

I have fast FIOS internet and a laptop with 16 GB RAM.

Thanks!

When playing YouTube videos in Firefox, the video constantly hangs or freezes. I have to restart the browser to continue playback. This happens every time I try to watch videos on youtube. what is going on?

is there a way to revert the changes that have been made on ver 149 regarding the scrolling? I'm trying to scroll some really long sites and when I just touch either my magic mouse or my macbook trackpad scrolling jumps to the end. Up to version 148.02 there was no problem. I've check it on 2 machines with macos sequoia and the problem is valid.

When I log into Google, my browser freezes. I can't close the browser, can't even restart the computer — and this happens every single time I try to sign into my account, making the browser essentially unusable.

I recently (within the last month) gotten an update in windows 11 and all of a sudden firefox slows way down and eventually stops doing anything...Any ideas what I can do to get firefox to actually work all the time??? I am using firefox 149.0 and it says it is up to date...

Previously, had no problem loading YouTube videos in multiple tabs, switching between them and them playing their videos with no freezing , pausing or buffering. Since the last upgrade loading a single YouTube video causes it to freeze and continually buffer. And Firefox is spawning multile copies of itself in task manager. (One instance had 15 copies.)

I am not sure if you have herd this or not since the newest Firefox update everything is very slow. takes forever to get anything on Firefox especially with extensions enabled. Especially Facebook . Now i am not sure if this is Facebook's fault or if it is Firefox Iam using this version149.0 64 bit. if it is not Firefox have you hear d or seen yourselves about Facebook not loading correctly . Please if anyone knows of either problem feel free to contact me

Good morning. I don't know how to describe it well much less grab a screenshot as it happens so quickly. Occasionally when I open Firefox which is always full screen a blank/black smaller browser window opens/appears for a second or so and then the browser opens as normal. It does not happen every single time. It's like on the way to opening the browser takes a step and then activates. The browser is up to date and seems to be working fine. I am attempting to catch a screenshot but as I said it is so quick. I don't know how to describe it any better. If anyone can help I would certainly appreciate it. I have run multiple antivirus, malware and spyware programs and found no issues.

FF can take 30-60 seconds to render ANY page after waking the computer from sleep. Windows 11 fully up to date. I've taken a profile during this time and you can see memory cycling up and down about every 5 seconds but I'm unclear what else I'm seeing there. I also see very little network traffic in the profile. I typically have 6-7 tabs open, and other programs on my computer, e.g. email, are not showing this lag.

For the last couple of days, the Firefox instance goes black and the title bar turns to an old windows look (see picture). Or turns fully blue, the color of browser theme, and the title bar is covered as well. There is no certain page that makes this bug appear, it appears randomly regardless of the page I'm visiting. Often it happens on the Firefox instance that is on the monitor I'm not working on at that moment. For example, I am browsing on my main monitor, and the 2nd monitor has a page open, the page in the 2nd monitor becomes bugged. It happens the other way too. Current Firefox version is 149.0 64 bit version, but i think it happened before the update too. I have already tried to turn hardware acceleration on and off again.

After updated to 149. Tab unloader is totally broken, unloaded tabs won't be discard but hold in shared web processes then reload right away. Extension process ram consumption bloated then cause browser lost response. If it not a hard hung up it would stop loading data from web. And/Or not operate when switch tab. Every action is risking frozen only way to unfreeze is to kill the extension process while risking complete lost of response. Never seen such piece of shit in decades.

Hello all,

I've been a long time Firefox user and recently (starting about 2 months ago) started seeing some irritating behavior while browsing. Firefox will at random intervals "gray out" either while interacting with specific webpage elements, or browsing specific websites. An example of this "gray out" condition is included as a screenshot. The browser will flicker between this "gray out" condition and the webpage, occasionally staying in the "gray out" state for 3-6 seconds. As you can see in the screenshot all Firefox UI elements are also missing, so this seems to be broader application issue. I've noticed this particular issue repeatedly on Amazon.com while moused over product photos.

I consider myself a power user. As for my PC, it is running Windows 10. All graphics drivers are up to date. Other apps run normally. I've never had any problem browsing/interacting with similar web content in Microsoft Edge... but I heavily prefer to use FireFox. Has anyone else encountered an issue like this?

I've just upgraded to V149 and, when using NordVPN, Firefox is now taking at least 30secs to startup. If NordVPN is off startup is instant. Prior to V149, Firefox startup was instant, both with and without NordVPN.

Not sure if this is a Firefox or YouTube bug.. it's really annoying and happens quite a few times each day I use my PC.. Is there any solution to this or perhaps reverting the update til this is resolved? I usually wait fo rit to stop lagging or if I'm not patient enough.. I'll just close Firefox entirely and re-open. Thanks.
