I am running Firefox on Windows 10 64-bit, and I have lots of windows and tabs open. Occasionally I will get a message from Windows that I am running low on disk space. Recently I got the message, and I saw on my C-drive" "336,044,032 bytes free". After I did an Exit in Firefox, I saw "10,082,402,304 bytes free". The space that was freed was in the pagefile.sys file. Is this normal?

On my main desktop computer whenever I try to open a Channel page on YouTube, Firefox will start to lag and either tell me it is slowing down Firefox and I need to stop the tab or just crash.

Sometimes after I refresh a random number of times, it will load the videos tab and then be fine on that channel. On other occasions it will never load the channel's Home page or Videos page and I have to close the tab because it won't load or change.

This only happens on my desktop computer. It it more likely to happen if the page has a home screen video.

Let me know what you think. Thanks

Firefox Nightly (next generation web browser test) has no animation delay when playing sprunki, but there is a bug in the beta and current versions that become delay. (That's why I use other browsers.) There is no delay in other browsers. I hope it will be fixed.

For the last day I've been having a problem with FF slow to load. I've tried the troubleshoot mode with little change. When it does load I can have problems with certain web sites loading e.g. Youtube, MSNBC, AOL mail etc. It's never consistent. The cache is clean and I've saved all the relevant cookies, I checked my internet provider and they are having no problems and I don't seem to be having any internal hdw issues e.g. ethernet cable connections etc. I reinstalled FF-not a clean install and seemed to help for a time. Do I have any options other than a refresh? I don't seem to be having the same issues with Edge or Chrome. All W11 updates are current. I look forward to anyone's comments.

Despite being listed as supported on: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/enumerateDevices

enumerateDevices() still only returns input devices. Running navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices().then(devices => console.log(devices)); in the Firefox console only shows input devices while on Chrome it shows output devices.

I use a website that supports playing from multiple output devices so when receiving a phone call, your desktop speakers and your headset can ring at the same time. This works in Chrome but it doesn't in Firefox.

Hello !

I recently got a new laptop (Lenovo Legion 5 I think) and while it's been working great, I've noticed a glitch that's happened a few times now. It's usually preceded by the image having some weird line pattern, I haven't been able to take a picture of it but it's almost like the pixels have been shifted ever so slightly. After that the screen sometimes splits strangely (see image). I don't know if this is a hardware problem or a Firefox thing but the only time it has happened was when I was on Firefox so yeah...

Firefox 144.0 on a W11 PC with all updates.

Firefox is running multiple (10-13) windows with 5-10 tabs each. Even if all Firefox windows are minimised and not being used, memory usage goes up all the time. It is currently, according to Task Manager, using over 5 GB of 32 GB of available memory. CPU is sitting at ~4%. Individual tabs, like Youtube watching CNN suddenly freeze and are no langer accessible and can't be unfrozen by anything I have tried. Even the mouse pointer is not displayed inside this tab I need to restart the entire PC several times a day only to have Firefox usable. I have turned off efficiency mode, but this did not change anything. I'll include a system snapshot with msinfo

Any ideas?

My computer, being 7 years old (and without the space to upgrade to WIN11), has always been a bit slow with low RAM and storage. The swap from Chrome to Firefox essentially gave it a second life, as Firefox didn't need a lot of space to run. Recently, though, it locks up with almost every search, refusing to let me x out a tab and try to save myself for 3 minutes or more, and the bluescreens have come back, too. If chrome hasn't also gotten worse, I'm considering switching back. Does anyone know what happened? I haven't installed anything new.

It's really frustrating and disappointing, because I thought I had a solution when I swapped to Firefox.
