When I press a hotkey that involves Ctrl (ie. opening a new Tab via Ctrl+T or closing one via Ctrl+W) Ctrl sometimes remains stuck until I press it again. This will cause issues ie. when I open a new tab and try to type a new address (or search term), and Ctrl causes new hotkeys to be executed.

I've even tried launching firefox with a new profile, and on safe mode (firefox --safe-mode -p <something-else-than-usual>), so no bookmarks, cookies or extensions should be causing this, and it will still happen sometimes. The annoying part is that this seems to be an issue with performance. It happens less-often with the empty profile and safe mode, but it still happens, especially if I had just opened a new page some tab, causing the most minute thing for firefox to process.

The problem is probably not the computer specs either (below my specs). Indeed, from what I can tell, firefox does not even seem to function particularily slow in any case. Just this ctrl being stuck seems to happen.

I have also tried disabling hardware-acceleration (and explicitly enabling it), no effect.

Other interesting facts I've discovered: - This for sure does not happen in other programs and - This does not happen with the Ctrl for all the keybinds within firefox. For example, Ctrl+A (for select all) does not trigger this

From neofetch my setup is OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: MS-7C56 1.0 Kernel: 6.12.8-arch1-1 Uptime: 2 hours, 10 mins Packages: 2370 (pacman), 7 (flatpak) Shell: zsh 5.9 Resolution: 3840x2160 DE: labwc:wlroots WM: sway Terminal: alacritty CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 4.951GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX/7900 GRE/7900M Memory: 5531MiB / 32015MiB

(I have no idea why it's reporting that I'm using Sway, I'm most certainly only using labwc, maybe labwc just reports sway for some programs for compatibility) I've installed firefox from pacman, and my current version is firefox 134.0.1-1

And finally firefox --full-version Mozilla Firefox 134.0.1 20250113214611 20250113214611

I'm not sure what else I could share at this point

The Firefox Browser crashed three four times last week. Mozzila Support team after study, gave a comment that RAM capacity is Low( 4 GB in my case , laptop). Does it sound OK? Why it does not happen with Chrome or Microsoft One edge Browser? I asked this to Google Gemini. The answer is as given below: Yes, the Mozilla Support team’s explanation sounds entirely accurate.A capacity of 4 GB RAM is extremely low for a modern laptop running an operating system like Windows 10 or 11 alongside modern web applications. The operating system itself routinely consumes 2 GB to 2.5 GB of RAM just to keep your computer running, leaving very little leftover memory for heavy multitasking. Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge use built-in "efficiency modes" and aggressive tab-sleeping algorithms. When your computer begins running out of RAM, Chrome and Edge will silently put inactive tabs to "sleep" to free up memory before the browser crashes. [1] (https://www.superchargebrowser.com/library/firefox-vs-chrome-ram-usage-2026/) Good Solutions to Fix the Crashes- 1. Software Adjustments (Free & Immediate)If you want to keep using Firefox smoothly on 4 GB of RAM, you need to minimize its memory footprint:Reduce Firefox's Content Process Limit: By default, Firefox uses multiple processes for performance. You can lower this to restrict its memory use:Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and press Enter.Accept the warning.Search for dom.ipc.processCount.Double-click it and change the value to 1 or 2. This forces Firefox to use fewer system resources. [1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox)Enable Memory Minimization: If the browser starts slowing down, type about:memory in the address bar and click the Minimize memory usage button under the Free memory section.Use a Tab Suspender Extension: Install a lightweight add-on like Auto Tab Discard from the Firefox Add-ons store. It mimics Chrome's behavior by automatically putting background tabs to sleep.Turn Off Hardware Acceleration: Sometimes, your computer's integrated graphics conflict with Firefox under low memory conditions. Go to Firefox Settings > type "hardware" in the search box > uncheck Use recommended performance settings > uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available. [1] (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1pp9z79/firefox_using_massive_amounts_of_ram_and_slowing/), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtXt_jw2tww). This Method I tried, but did not work-Firefox to use fewer system resources. Can you suggest how to reduce or minimize its memory footprint?

I upgraded my Dell PC to Windows 11 yesterday via Windows Update, since support for Windows 10 is ending. Now Firefox crashes often when I close the browser. Everything works fine while I'm using Firefox, it's only when I close the browser that sometime later I will get a crash message on my desktop. I have tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, and the problem persists. From what I can tell, there's some process which is ongoing after the browser is closed, which isn't terminating properly and that's why it's crashing. I have submitted several crash reports, but don't know how to post them here.[bp-2e2d8f06-4c87-43a6-8b32-b0f5a0251006]

I mostly watch YouTube channels on Firefox on my laptop, but recently have had to change over to Microsoft Edge browser to watch YouTube. The reason is that during a channel stream, when an ad wants to play, YouTube and Firefox freeze and the only way to exit the screen is to either attempt to close YouTube or even open Task Manager to shut down all instances of the Firefox software. Firefox is by far my preferred browser and I'm frustrated that it is unusable in its current state. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but this did not work. Thank you in advance for your help.

Yesterday Firefox started crashing tabs on load of a handful of websites that are seemingly random, like Twitter and a few shopping site tabs I had open. It wasn't after a system update or anything, it just started happening while Firefox was already open and those tabs had already been open and loaded. I've tried clearing my cache, site data, reinstalling Firefox, and it still does it. Upon further investigation, it seems to be something regarding libfontconfig, and mostly specific to users of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

1. Whenever I open Firefox for the first time since boot, it crashes, and I have to click on it a second time for a window to actually show up. Once it shows up, it's forgotten all about the previous session - none of my tabs re-open, the window opens up maximized.

2. Whenever I close the last open window, my previous tabs are completely forgotten. Checking task manager reveals that there are 10 or 11 Firefox processes that are still running.

  • I have a second Windows 11 device that DOESN'T exhibit any of these issues and works correctly. Closing Firefox does not leave any running processes around.
  • "Open previous windows and tabs" is enabled in options.
  • "Firefox will: Remember history" is set in the History options.
  • Both devices are running Firefox 137.0.2 64 bit.
