Everytime I switch app and come back to the browser, my tab reloads. So like if I am watching a youtube video and I've watched it almost half, after the reload it starts over.

I've uBlock origin and Hide Shorts extension installed.

i have tried anew profile got a the newest version and it still does not help i guess the people doing the updates have no idea how to fix the issue or care none of you can really help all the idea you have had i have tried and still i get the same Firerfox running but not responding' guess you will force me to go to chrome instead which does not do this nor does Edge so you can not tell me it is not a firebox issue because neither Chrome or hedge with by the way all the same desktop icons i have had for years work

Whilst on various websites, reading articles or even on Gmail, Firefox takes me off them and takes me to Recent Browsing and I have to click on the website from there - this happens frequently.

I log in get a dead home window cannot delete , no response to cursor have to use task bar icon to overlay dead home screen. when return to home scree I get the dead old window and use task bar icon to get live home screen to continue. The dead home screen appears and have to select firefox from task bar each time.

Hi Mozilla Support Team,

I am experiencing severe browser lag and high CPU usage on Firefox specifically when managing complex backend forms and inventory management scripts on our e-commerce operations portal.

The page script execution freezes when opening multiple tabs alongside developer console tools. I have already cleared cache and disabled third-party extensions, but memory leaks still happen during heavy DOM rendering.

Is there a specific setting in about:config or hardware acceleration flag recommended for heavy web app environments?

Thanks!

i have said many times that i keep getting Firefox running but not responding . i have contacted many places and complained had some of your r tech try and help now with the new update i am still getting it yet i was told it would be fixed. i have reinstalled i have removed and shut off some add ons cleared cache all but cookies and still i get it funny until the last 2 new versions i never had this problem it is a Firefox problem not mine. i would have thought you would have fixed it by now

This has been in the last month or so. It will freeze up and I can't break out of it. Last time it froze the whole computer and I had to power down and restart. There must be something that changed. And there must be some way for me to be able to quit when this happens. Last time it was on a video call with my 104 year old mother and it is very annoying. The whole thing froze and I had to restart the computer and when I got it back up, she was off. I need some way to break out so I don't have to do a complete restart. t.

Updated Firefox to 154. When I select Firefox, I get a notice that Firefox is already running. If I cancel, Firefox comes up but I quickly get a notice that Firefox is not responding. I tried refresh but that didn't fix it. If you don't have an answer, I'll de-install and then (maybe) reinstall. -JJM

i was just opening a page and it kept saying Firefox running but not responding and then i gt the photo i am showing you what is it and why see photo being downloaed by another insrtance ??

Since version 154, my 2017 Macbook Air running MacOS Monterey causes my fans to be always on. The battery preferences says "Using significant amount energy." I've turned off all AI features.

So I know these websites are kind of crap anyway, but I have issues with scrolling bsky.social (and other clients for it like witchsky) and twitter. The further into the timeline I get, the more frequently these webpages lag.

They begin freezing every few seconds for a few seconds, during which they queue left or right clicks, page up/page down, and various other commands, only processing them once it unfreezes. Firefox itself still works during this freeze, e.g. opening the main menu. Also, I can still scroll up or down to a limited degree, though this just exposes empty, unrendered webpage until it unfreezes.

bsky.social has had this problem for a long time, but twitter only recently developed this issue after I had to do a cache clear, cookie clear, etc. trying to log in a few weeks ago. Prior to that it didn't have this issue.

Task manager hasn't really helped elucidate what's wrong, so it might be an about:config that I set or even an unruly extension, but I really don't know what to try.

I don't know when it exactly happend but arround 3 months ago my Firefox is on the verge of dying anytime i open a new TAB it takes about a min to be funktional again which is a pain!

before that time Firefox was quick never hade these problems before! A friend of mine has the exact same problem as i do.

honestly will not read the awnser on this post but i just want to make sure its on the Board

Why does Mozilla 154.0 always stall after a couple of minutes? It is a hell of a mess. I couldn't place this question without resorting to an older version of Firefox :-[[

Did anybody test V 154.0 anytime, at all?

I unfortunately updated a Windows 10 computer to this version of Firefox.

As such, I cannot provide you with troubleshooting information, because the new browser 154.0 does not work. At. All.

I did all the usual stuff like restarting the computer, the users of Windows OS junk are used to anyway. The Task Manager shows not less than 16 Firefox-processes, with a truckload of memory usage, having opened just one browser tab. Waiting for 20 minutes for firefox to show me the grace of continuing its operation didn't help either.

Any ideas?

Firefox under Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, will not let me input text. How can I get past this?

I am having to type into a text file, copy and paste to get information into a text box in Firefox.

I've been testing a browser-based metronome in Firefox and noticed that the audio click can sometimes feel slightly out of sync with the visual beat. It isn't a complete audio failure—the metronome keeps running and produces sound—but the timing can feel a little delayed or inconsistent, especially when using it at faster BPMs. The site I'm testing with is TheTapTempo's online metronome. I'm trying to figure out whether this is related to Firefox's handling of web audio or whether the delay is more likely to come from the system/audio device. A few things I'm wondering about: • Could Firefox's Web Audio timing cause a small difference between the scheduled beat and when the sound is actually heard? • Could Bluetooth headphones make the problem more noticeable because of their audio latency? • Can Firefox extensions or hardware acceleration affect the timing of browser-based audio? • Is there a Firefox setting or diagnostic mode that would be useful for testing this? • Would comparing the same metronome in Firefox and another browser help determine whether the issue is Firefox-specific? I've also noticed that the perceived timing can depend on the audio output being used, so I'm not sure whether this should be treated as a Firefox issue or an audio-device latency issue. What's the best way to troubleshoot this in Firefox?

i have been tired many things to do and have tried all of them instead of uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Which i should not have to do as none of what is happening is my fault. I have done all i was asked by many of you and have done it all . I am getting no answer and no real solution by Firefox to tell me why i continue to get that you all think i am a dumbie none of this is my problem yes i have desktop icons which i have always had and yes they ope up with Firefox and never ever have i had this before they have always open with no problem until this last updated version. I am constantly getting Firefox is running but not o responding. Why when i go to chrome or click the chrome add on in address bar a say click on my amazon I con it opens right up with not saying google is running but not responding. why ca none of you answer the question and why can it not be accepted that it is a Firefox problem and not me. As i have said i have had these same desktop shortcuts since i got my computer on windows 7. up until this last version i never ever had Firefox say it is running but not responding. Like ic said i have done all that way said by Bugzilla Firefox help and still no real answer and no fix . I am tellin you it is not me it is a Firefox problem. why can this not be researched and find out why. I am sure i am nt the only one with this problem. Please i need a solution or ill stop using Firefox which i have for over 20 years but apparently Firefox does not care and thanks SOLUTION PLEASE
