Since FF 69 the starting (not the loading!) of websites frequently lasts more than 10 seconds under Xubuntu. The tab remains empty during this waiting time, while no sign of the loading process can be seen: The tab header shows no title, only the URL. The animated loading icon of the tab header is not shown. The status bar shows no activity. For about 5 to 20 seconds it looks like the tab is frozen. (See hardcopy.) This phenomenon occurs irregularly, but repeatedly, approximately with 10-20 percent of all calls, regardless of the requested URLs. It typically occurs piled within a random period, that lasts between a some seconds and several minutes. It also happens in safe mode, regardless of the used profile (even an unmodified new profile) and both in private an non-private windows. As far as I can judge, the troubleshooting Information shows no abnormalities. There are no issues with the internet connection. I've been using Firefox trouble-free for more than 10 years, but this phenomenon only occurred since Firefox 69.0.

I have this issue with Firefox for a while now, where whatever webpage I may try to load (including www.google.com) will not load sometimes unless I close the tab and open it again and reinput the address or just refresh many times or sometimes it won't work unless I close and restart Firefox several times. At this time, I literally simply even gave up trying to open the Firefox support page in Firefox and installed Chrome for the first time in order to submit this ticket.
I have no special settings for Firefox (basically I use everything is it comes after a fresh install) and I have tried running it both with and without the two extensions I have installed with no change in how Firefox works (or doesn't really, lately)

We are using web application that uses JavaScript batch files, where one of them exceeded size of 15MB. Since then Firefox seems to evict the file from cache and always load it from the server also excluding If-Modified-Since header. When the file size is decreased to former size ( around 12MB ), caching works again as expected: file is either served from Firefox cache or If-Modified-Since header is sent in request to verify if server file changed. When I checked difference between files server, there was nothing changed except file size and content ( i.e. there is no dynamic changing of file, cache headers stay the same, ... ).
Is there some configuration setting or hard-coded limit which forces Firefox to evict larger files from cache and enforce their reloading?

Firefox has a serious problem. Within a few days of refreshing it, it starts to bog down and becomes noticeably slow.
I almost gave up using it, but then found the refresh function. The first time I did this, it sped things up nicely and I retained everything. Within a week, Firefox slowed down again. So, in frustration, I reset it again. This time it did strip all my settings and saved them in a folder on the desktop.
I have seen the solution that things can be copied from this profile folder into the new profile folder.
However, I have to say that from a usability perspective, this is a real fail. To ask users to selectively copy files even once is just a pain in the ass. To expect them to do it once a week (at least) in order to keep Firefox running crisply is ridiculous.
I implore the Firefox team to come up with a better solution to help users keep Firefox running smoothly. I know it's complicated and that add ons are the real issue. But there's got to be a way to make this process more user friendly. Even just a notification when the browser senses itself slowing down that points to a well written, step by step troubleshooting guide would be good.
Or perhaps a refresh that disables addons but keeps the rest of the data. That might help people more quickly realize that an addon is causing the slow down (assuming that is the case).
I don't know what the best solution, but there has got to be a better way than refreshing, losing all data, and then being expected to selectively copy information into a profile!
Thanks!

What is the relevant timeout that would make it not-happen? I get this error at 1 site. When I try on a public (therefore Windoze) computer, it takes about 9 minutes to connect. Firefox on Linux quits before then, even though I have increased all my timeouts to > 10 minutes.

I found the -no-deelevate option which let me repair the "can't drag URL's to the desktop" feature. I changed my usual shortcut to use it.
How do I change Windows 7 to ALWAYS use that command line option when starting Firefox? For example, when I click on a link in an email, Windows starts the default web browser and passes it the link. How can I alter that command line to use -no-deelevate? There are also other programs that start a browser that need this tweak.
I'm OK with editing the registry if needed, but I have no idea where to go to make this the default for any browser start in Windows? If this has to be program specific, then changing Thunderbird would be my email concern... but I'd really prefer a global solution.

Firefox has been extremely laggy and slow lately. I've tried every "quick fix" I've found online, to include refreshing, sfc /scannow, disabling extensions, re-installing firefox, running malware scans, etc. This started after a cluster of windows, firefox, NVIDIA updates about a week ago, and I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the issue. So far the only thing that brings the browser back to full speed is restarting my computer with an offline Windows Defender scan. It never actually finds anything, but when the computer restarts Firefox works at regular speed until it is locked for a couple hours or restarted. Any thoughts?

I have been using the Developer Edition for a while, and it has until now updated without problem. However after downloading and installing v70B7, on clicking the Icon to launch it it will not launch. Sometimes the Firefox menu bar shows for a second before disappearing again, and sometimes I can see (but not read) a fleeting error screen in red. I should perhaps try to fix the problem by deleting the application and reinstalling it, but I do not want to lose all my Bookmarks, which include many valuable websites. Advice on my best way forward would be appreciated!

Dear all,
I am having a severe issue using Firefox on Linux. That is when I use the browser to watch YouTube it is almost guaranteed that the entire system will hang, become unresponsive and then require a hard reset.
I'm using Xubuntu 19.04.
The laptop is a ThinkPad T450. It has a standard configuration except that I installed a SSD. I ran a comprehensive self-test using the Lenovo BIOS' testing feature and everything was given the all-clear. I note that the same problem doesn't occur on my preferred WebKit-derived browser which is Vivaldi.
I'm not the only owner of a T450 in my household. Curiously, this other T450 which runs Xubuntu 18.04 (LTS) does not manifest the same issue. This system also uses Firefox as its browser.
I was advised to check the system logfiles. The only mention of anything likely in the logfiles is the xsession-errors file:
(xfce4-panel:1291): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: 21:01:45.450: panel-window.c:2245 (panel_window_active_window_geometry_changed): expression 'WNCK_IS_WINDOW (active_window)' failed.

Reference to my post on the Ubuntu forums: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2426276
I'd greatly value any help to solve this issue. I'm willing to look at other logfiles or send over any additional information that might help diagnose this problem. Anything to help me get back to using my browser of choice!
Kind regards. Thran

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.
