I-Firefox Community Forum

I am having issues making the menu bar reappear after I enter full screen and I am using only the touchscreen on my laptop I can't get it to reappear I have to tap the screen like crazy, when in the past I could just slide down and it just worked it.

Re: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1600764 . TL;DR, encountered this exact loading issue of firefox responding and after using a profile blamed it on a patience issue. I assumed so because my longest hang time would end up being ten minutes, which was the first time, never got past 5 minutes afterwards. Fast forward to now, it has been a few weeks since I used my pc due to general life business, so I had to turn it on, firefox opens, hang takes FIFTY MINUTES. I have also had to restart firefox several times due to missing updates and each and every hang time has taken a MINIMUM half an hour, and this is before giving up and closing the window on many instances. I have been sat here trying to do anything in firefox for over five hours now. The ONLY excuse that I can make up is the main reason I'm at my pc is because it needs updates and is currently downloading updates, so that is using a lot of my disc (I'm on an HDD if that's important), however it shouldn't take nearly an HOUR to use firefox for like a minute and then take ANOTHER hour simply due to hang time. I have also checked task manager and Firefox is using very little cpu (0%-2% at most) and not a lot of ram (initial hangs were down to ~50 mb, now it's around 300). The only thing I can think of is that the issue could be with the history file being corrupted, but since I have that synced with a mobile device, i don't know what that would do, nor do I want to lose my history, but otherwise i am at a loss and need more advice.

Firefox freezes some seconds or some minute after I open the program, I end task and wait to reopen the program, opening up the program it continues to freeze. I've reset firefox multiple times, cleared cache & webdata, completly uninstalled FF and reinstalled it, doesn't solve it. Starting firefox in troubleshooting mode also freezes and hangs. After end tasking firefox multiple times it eventually stops freezing but during the next day when I open the browser the issue returns, The same goes after I reinstalled it after uninstalling it, works for the rest of the day but the next day the issue returns. Background: I switched from chrome to Firefox some months ago and imported webdata from chrome to FF.

What the living hell is this? This is prevalent on every PC I've installed FF. Just starting a clean browser with a single tab use 19GB of RAM within 1 second... No wonder why browsing been excruciatingly slow since the previous update.

Yes, I use add-ons like 90% of the users, but that should not warrant a serious and consistent memory leak.

Firefox on Android freezes completely whenever I open multiple tabs.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the Firefox app on my phone.

Open a website in one tab.

Open a second or third tab and try to switch between them or browse.

Observed result:

The browser stops responding, freezes, and fails to load or switch tabs smoothly.

Expected result:

The browser should handle opening and switching between multiple tabs without freezing or crashing.

This may be an old problem. In Linux, in bookmarks library, the scrollbar thumbs behave differently than in browser web pages. Even in new profile. This isn't a new issue for v157. Same behavior in any theme (any Fx themes, and / or diff 'Nix system themes).

I set scrollbars to disappear when not used or being hovered. On sites, when hover scrollbar area, they reappear. AND while pointer is over the track or thumb, it remains visible - does not reduce to an unusable width or disappear completely. As I think it should.

But in bookmarks library, the track & thumb disappear, even w/ pointer hovered, unless thumb is grabbed immediately. Even grabbing thumb & move it, then pause a fraction of second (still gripping thumb w/ L mouse button), the thumb & track STILL disappear. As long as you don't release grip (on now invisible thumb / track) they reappear when move pointer.

The bookmark library scrollbar behavior is also erratic. How long you have to grab it, when you 1st hover it. If you accidentally move pointer from folder pane, past vertical divider into bookmark pane, then left - back into folder pane, the scrollbar doesn't appear.

You have to move pointer well left of scrollbar, then approach it from the R, to make it reappear. It doesn't have any of this behavior in the browser (never has, AFAIK).

My browser is using 2,3 Gb of extra ram it goes away by restarting but comes back in 5-10 min. It occurs wathing twich, i have tried disabling extentsions but it doesn't work. in about:memory the readout is as thoug it is keaping an extra copy of open browser files in ram.
