Typing anything in the browser is completely delayed until I stop typing entirely. If I type a sentence then no characters appear until I stop tying entirely, so the delay can be quite significant. When attempting to download a file and changing directories, it can take minutes to successfully navigate the folder changes (triple-clicking left side to get a response) and then 10 seconds or longer before it unfreezes and actually begins to download after clicking the "save" button.

I upgraded 2 PC's to Windows 1903. 1 is running perfectly fine the other cant use Adobe Flash in Firefox anymore. As soon as i activate/allow any flash on any site Firefox just freezes and has to be closed. If i use chrome on the same sites etc. everything is fine and runs smoothly. I tried reinstalling the Adobe Flash stuff, used an older Version of Adobe and Firefox (different combinations), deleted my Profile, tried factory reset and many more options (disabling hardware acceleration etc.)

I frequently leave Firefox open with a video stream from twitch.tv full-screened on a second monitor while doing other things (playing games, text editing, etc). If I leave Firefox untouched for long enough (more than a couple minutes, less than an hour) playback will start to stutter or lag (usually video first, eventually audio as well). Clicking Firefox or alt-tabbing very frequently fixes the issue, playback immediately becomes smooth. This is not a recent change, I've observed this behavior for months and finally decided to ask about it.
I have no proof that this is a browser issue. It could be a site-specific issue, (I see it most often on twitch but I have also seen it on other video sites like youtube), an OS issue, or something else.
That said, I could easily imagine it being an intentional browser feature - if Firefox is not focused, throttle JS execution and other resources to save power. In many cases this could be phrased as a feature for the user. Does such a feature, and is it configurable? I've looked through about:config and done some googling and find no mention, but I'm asking here to make sure.

I have a situation where i have 2 monitors above each other and at start of firefox, firefox needs to open full-screen from the top monitor to the bottom monitor. The situation is in a restaurant and we need to see the tickets coming in from the top monitor going down to the second. It used to work with Ultramon and a script, but i think due to an update this script does not work anymore.
Can anyone help me?

When I open a new tab and I want to use the layout for Firefox Home but I don't want to go BLIND I would love an option to just click in settings Firefox Home Dark for new tabs. K thx, when!?
PS. I already got a dark mode extension for all the other sites, it's just Firefox default page that doesn't want to work and honestly I don't understand why it's not just a drop-down menu option.
How can I autocomplete whole URLs rather than simply site URLs?

I'd like for Firefox's address bar to behave similarly to Chrome's where if I type just a few characters of the URL it autocompletes the entire url and not just the base site. Say for example a Reddit sub: If I want to go to /r/FantasyFootball in Chrome all I have to do is type 're' & since reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball is bookmarked Chrome will complete the entire URL. This does not happen in Firefox, regardless of whether I have it bookmarked or not. It only goes to 'reddit.com' and I have to type the rest of the URL from there.
I want to switch to Firefox 100% of the time but this is a deal breaker for me. Chrome's autocomplete is streets ahead of Firefox's & I'm hopeful there's a way to close this gap.

Does Firefox have the ability to show browser widths (px) when I am checking various browser width results in website design? Chrome has this in Developer tools - it displays as a little indicator at the top of the screen - but I don't want to resort to Google! I am aware of the developer tool in Firefox to set browser viewport size but this doesn't solve my problem. In responsive web design It is useful to move the right side of the browser in and out to check web design results dynamically (at different widths). Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

I had to re-install Windows and after re-installing Firefox and some extensions, the icons no longer appear in the toolbar. I've tried re-installing Firefox again, still the same. I tried adding more space on the right side of the search box to allow more room for the icons, but still nothing. The extensions I added are AdBlock, Ant Video Downloader, Facebook Container, FVD Video Downloader, Ghostery, and YouTube HD. Only the icon for FVD appears, none of the others, which did before.

In Google Chrome, when switching to Responsive view, there is a setting available called "Show device frame" and "Hide device frame". This is a great little feature that will show the selected mobile device frame around the web content (eg will show an iPhone around the content if you select "Show device frame"). It's fantastic for demonstrating/presenting etc. Is there any way to do this in Firefox? Either through the default product, or any add-ons?

I just started up an old session and made new tabs for several links, but they're all blank pages and refuse to load up. I try to search for things by typing in the address box up top, but hitting enter does nothing, the browser simply refuses to search for what I typed. In short, I'm stuck where I am and can't go anywhere.
It may be due to installing that new windows update, but I'm not sure.

One of our staff was using Edge and needed to have her Windows Profile deleted; we had backed up her info onto a pen drive, but I suggested she use Firefox, as this syncs bookmarks, passwords, etc. So, she did this. Created all her bookmarks, signed in and got Firefox to remember her passwords, etc. We completely wiped her PC and set it up again, but once she signed back into Firefox and chose Restore, nothing got restored, even though she was able to select the date last week when it last synchronized. This seems to make having a Firefox account completely pointless! If you get a new PC, or your PC dies, you expect that everything that's associated with your Firefox account is safe, but it appears to serve no purpose? Have we missed something?

So, for the past couple of weeks, after every 3-4 days, I go to open Firefox, and all my add-ons and settings keep getting reset.
It's a weird thing. I have my add-ons, my customized settings, and everything is working fine. But after a couple of days, I open up firefox and it's like I'm starting from 0.
I mean, my history, bookmarks, passwords, all remain intact.
But everything else is gone. All my extensions open up a tab saying "now installed!" or something along those lines - plus a tab from Mozilla, today about the privacy notice.
My homepage, search and download settings are back to the defaults.
I have tried to refresh my browser, reinstalled my extensions, but still the same issue.

To have a web browser automatically go to a website based on a word typed in the URL BAR is a security nightmare. There is no way to tell what asinine site you will end up on if you miss spell a word. I DO NOT WANT the URL bar to SEARCH FOR ANY D*MNED THING. I want -- as I had before FF43, a search bar on one line and a URL bar on a different line and I want them to function separately as URL and Search. NOT COMBINED. I've added browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete and set it false. No change. I' ve set keyword.enabled to false -- no change.

I'm not really sure how to describe this. I recently update windows to 1903, and afterward whenever I right-click firefox from my taskbar at the top are the most recent links I clicked on in the windows mail app, since firefox is my default browser regarding opening email links. I refreshed firefox and the frequent websites was on the task bar (which I'm personally not a fan of) and disabled it in about:config, but the recent links from my emails show up again. So, is there any way to hide this as well? Or should I just do a complete unintstall/reinstall of firefox, but I'm scared enough it's going to comeback.
