I-Firefox Community Forum

For some weeks I have ad an issue with Firefox using 50%-100% of CPU. Normally it is the Firefox process itself, sometimes it is also "Privileged Cont".

OS is Kubuntu 24.04. Firefox has done this across 2-3 versions.

Things I have tried:

Restarting Firefox No change, I'll even get 100% cpu usage with no tabs open

Refresh Firefox to remove settings and addons No change

Uninstall Snap and try direct Apt package No change

Remove ~/.mozilla to fully remove any residual settings/cache/etc No change

Try with and without hardware acceleration See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1308215 No change!

I would blame my old computer hardware, but Brave runs fine. I am now using Brave, but would dearly like to return to Firefox as I miss containers, and I don't support a chromium dominated web.

Is there a way to just paste a file with path for uploading. In the windows dialogue I can do that to bypass waiting, but in the linux dialogue 1. I really have to wait for all folder content to be shown (I just tried that on a network drive with a quarter million images) 2. I cannot just type paths that are hidden but I know they exist

The size of the text on my computer, especially AOL Email has diminished to unreadable size. How to enlarge the text to a normal size (around 16 or larger). I've tried settings and specifications and zoom and many others but nothing changes the size of the text. Can you help in plain language that an old person can follow? I thank you in advance.

Late yesterday, all my bookmarks disappeared. Whenever Firefox ask me to update, I do. Please advise if they are stored anywhere from which I can retrieve them. Probably close to a thousand.

Hello,

I have a website through Squarespace (moneyball.health) and it keeps going to my previous website (ballpointbookkeeping.com) parking page. When I pull up moneyball.health on Internet Explorer or Shafari (iphone) I do not have any issues. Please advise.

I am looking for an add on to assist in filing emails but I can't find anything at all. I used to have one which was quite good but can't now recall the name. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

The other day I discovered all my extensions have been disabled. I have an old Mac and am not able to upgrade to a newer version of Firefox. Is Mozilla going to offer a solution for people like me who find their preferred browser to now be frustrating and inefficient? I would love to restore my add-ons. Thank you.

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

In Firefox, recently I am unable to download pdf documents. I get the message "download failed". If I request the same download using Chrome, I get the download immediately. But Firefox is my default browser and it's a nuisance. This only started in the past month or so.

https://hbr.org will not allow me to sign in using Firefox. It does not recognise my email address if I use the Lost Password option. MS Edge allows me to sign in to https://hbr.org without problems. I have listed hbr.org as Exceptions in tracking protection, cookies, and blocking pop up windows

I installed new firefox and it did not work. So I downloaded older version of firefox that does work. But somehow it/I installed my Chrome bookmarks and not my older firefox bookmarks. Can anything be done?

Hello,

When I log in the long used firefox account in my new computer, it shows to register a new account, and seem all the “Favorites” websites and saved password was lost. How to fix it? The old account is still on my cellphone and functional.
