I-Firefox Community Forum

I can complete the sign in and enter my password, and then I get a spinning wheel and can no longer click on the tabs or minimize the window. I have to force close it and it shows as not signed it. I've also tried signing in using my phone and the QR code, same thing. This happens with or without 2FA, I turned it off and the issue persists. Everything else about the browser works completely but I can't sync across devices without the Mozilla login working.

Anyone else having an issue with the newest firefox in Linux Mint? I don't know what's causing it but when multiple tabs open my address bar and all other primary buttons/icons (including the menu button) don't work, only the download button. Across multiple tabs. Not using any groupings/classifications or any "new" tab features or vertical windows etc.

Im using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on a Asus laptop with 32GB RAM in it and a i9-9980HK @ 2.40GHz. It has a GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card in it with 6GB memory. I use it for work and need to have multiple tabs open at a time as a result. I always have at least 4 tabs and can sometimes get up to around 10. I also have Zoom running as well.

I keep seeing a ton of Firefox processes open when I look at Task Manager. Attached is a screenshot I just took with 7 tabs open. It shows 34 processes in the first clump with more open outside of that one.

I unchecked Use recommended performance settings and checked Use hardware acceleration when available but all that did is lower the amount of RAM being used by 100MB. I have 2 extensions enabled in Firefox, AdBlocker for YouTube and AdBlocker Ultimate. They have never been a problem before. This lag and massive overusage of RAM has only started in the last couple of weeks.

Anyone know why this is happening or how to reduce how much RAM Firefox is using? I like this browser and would have to have to switch to another one. Thanks in advance.

I am using a new Windows 11 computer. I use Firefox for almost everything. But it opens many processes and it very quickly gets to the point where anything I do causes a hang. If I am listening to music or a podcast it pauses and buzzes. This AM I turned on the computer and opened Firefox, without reopening an old session. I had open two windows with two tabs in each window. Using Windows Task Manager I determined that Firefox has twenty-one processes open. Some of them have the efficiency leaf and some do not. I do not use an Add-On manager, but use MalWareBytes for a VPN and protection. Please help.

By addressing the problem that I have typed above. Why for over a year have I been getting 'Firefox not responding' message? I then have to start again every time. Thanks

Hi, After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my laptop, I’ve noticed that the battery drains much faster than before. I haven’t changed any settings, but the browser seems to consume more power even with just a few tabs open.

I’ve already tried:

Restarting my laptop

Disabling unnecessary extensions

Clearing cache

But the issue is still there. Is there any specific setting or workaround to reduce battery usage in the new update?

Thanks in advance!

Every since I updated my MacBook Pro M1 Max chip to Firefox 142.0.1 (aarch64), Firefox locks up & has to be "Force Quit" & restarted almost every day. Please update the app ASAP so I don't have to convert to Google Chrome. Thank you!

I've uninstalled every profile and installation of firefox. All addons are gone.

Upon reinstalling regular firefox, doing refresh, and syncing my account, the browser immediately freezes.

This issue has started within the past week. I've not done any major changes to my computer or firefox in general. Edge browser does not have this issue.

about:processes also freezes, making troubleshooting difficult.

I'm currently running firefox without syncing at the moment, but this isn't an ideal long term solution.

Warning Unresponsive script, this popup causes many issues as I use many tabs and it will get the popup and the only choice I have is to say continue, that then redirects me to that tab, so what I was doing gets interrupted. I have to go and find the tab I was working in when I may get another popup. I've had it where I've had popup under other popups, I tried the extending the time but that seemed to make things worse.

I need to totally disable that popup, tell me how.

Firefox I'm getting nothing done, Do I really need to use chrome?

I know this probably sounds odd but I'm not imagining it. I like many people I live with many tabs open at once. Since the 143 update I come back to my computer the next morning and many of my tabs, specifically my gmail tab and many others will not work. (Oddly I've noticed some random tabs will still work, I have no idea why) I can close the tab and try to reopen gmail in a new tab and it just sits there trying to open but it will not. I've waited 20 minutes. Not until I close firefox and restore my last session will it again work properly. Is there a bug/glitch or is there some setting I need to adjust. I don't want to have to close my firefox everyday. Edge is not having this same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my specific machine. It's like Firefox just decides to quit when I go to bed. I know it sounds crazy.

I am having trouble with Firefox that's very odd: the tabs keep overlapping and I am not able to click on links.

It keeps happening randomly and I have no idea why!

I've attached a screen grab so you can see what I mean.

When this happens I have to close down the tabs in question and then reopen them.

Never had this issue before.
