Every time I launch Firefox it creates 12-13 instances of Firefox along with one each for Chrome and Console.

I don't need that many instances. Typically I have no more than 3-4 tabs open.

Is there a Configuration setting that I can change to reduce the number of instances to 5 and greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to launch.

I am running Windows 10 Pro V21H2 at current update level. I have a custom made tower with 512GB SSD and a Core2 Duo processing running at 2.93 GHz with 8 GB Ram. Firefox is V17.0.1.

Goodd day from UK I run firefox esr 115.9.1 and find the the F5 refresh key does NOT refresh the images. The same applies when using the "reload" icon in the menu.

Reading other posts, nothing seems to apply here.

There are NO add-ons at all and everything is cleared on close. The text DOES seem to change.

As a web developer checking updates this is extremely annoying as only hope is keep closing the browser (to clear everything) and restart - the loads new images etc.

I use several versions of Firefox (2, 20, 56) to ensure compatability with olf browsers and it seems to be only those over 100 with this issue.

Does anyone know if this is a "feature" or a"bug" and is there any simple (!) way around the issue?

Thanks

p.s. ALWAYS happens, not intermittently

Midjourney website and also canva was working fine until i tried to open both of them today using firefox, but midjoueny froze and kept making firefox showing not responding and then unfreeze and then freeze and so on, Also canva -as shown in the screenshots- is not working properly, it's laggy and won't load full pages.

I thought it was the websites' problem until i tried chrome - which i really hate to do- and voila, both of them worked fine, no freezing no lagging and pages are loading properly.

Is there any solution for this, because i really hate to use chrome but i am forced to do so until this problem is fixed :'(

So, I've noticed that if I open a new tab while in full screen (ex: watching a youtube video in full screen) it doesn't automatically select the search bar for me to type in. I know this is a very minor problem, but it really bugs me. Can this be changed from preferences or any other way? Thanks in Advance

Edit: I copied this issue from someone who already raised because this exact thing annoys me too even if it's small one. Is there any solution to this problem?

Space bar does not function on Huffpost comment section. Sometimes the whole page just jumps either to the top of the page or to the bottom, Weird. Another point, why does Firefox prompt a new update almost every second day. My PC is safe from Malware and my Firewall and paid for VPN is one of the 3 best available. So please don't tell me there could be another reason for this problem about the Space bar button. The Space bar functions perfectly on Windows 10 Edge as well. Even tried it temporarily on Vivaldi. Works fine there too. I moved over to Brave Browser and I have no problem there at all. Functions perfectly. Until Firefox fixes that problem, I have no need to use the Firefox Browser with it's constant annoying updates.

My cable TV provider (ZIGGO, Netherlands) offers an extra service which makes it possible to watch TV with a normal browser, in my case FireFox 109.0 64b. You can watch 'live' and watch recent programs. Playing live gives only few amounts of harddisk write access. However (!!!) when I playback a recent program, Firefox writes 55 Mbyte/s to 2 caches on ..\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and ..\AppData\Local\Mozilla. I was stupified when I discovered that 3 hours of watching recent programs wrote 1700 GB (1.7 TB) to my SSD by FireFox (according to Windows 10 Task Manager). This data is produced by FireFox since my 30 days usage of internet was only 30GB. I assume FireFox writes decompressed video to cache or something. I made a temporary fix by using symbolic links from ..\AppData to an old fashioned harddisk, which has a hard time writing, when looking "non live". I looked if ZIGGO installed some kind of plugin, but could not find it.

Dear Community,

I am trying to download a large file. Am on a course, and the main tutor has given the group a file to download. Have tried downloading this 5 times, but get little luck. The file that I would want to download is 8.5GB, and the furthest I get is about 4GB.

I have 2 questions about this.

1) I seem to have a very 'in and out internet connection. It seems to go down at times for no reason, cutting off the download. Is there anything I could do about this? How could I troubleshoot this, please? 2) Does anybody know of any special tools that I can use to download in a more efficient manner, please? Perhaps an extension for Firefox might be able to do this, perhaps? Kind Regards to Anyone Answering this Query, Marek
