I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

3 tabs open, left firefox idle on pc and walked away for an hour. Came back, system barely responsive, managed to grab a screenshot. This happens every single day. If I leave firefox idle, or in background for any amount of time, it eats up all the ram and the system grinds to a halt and crashes. Can't get logs, or use profiler. This happens every single day, multiple times per day and only when firefox is in background or pc is idle. I don't use more than 3-4 tabs, this happens on random websites, sometimes even when no websites are open. I can literally open firefox with no tabs and let it sit idle and same thing happens.

Hail all:

OS: W11Ent_x64 V: 22h2 (b: 22621.3447) FF: 124.0.2 x_64 I tried several "Group Tabs" add-ons, like: Simple Tab Groups. Tab Group. And I few I can't even recall the name from. Yet, none works. Not ONE.

Now, I use Edge as well, on my corporate system that I got from work. Personal PC I use FF on.

But, the Edge Tab Grouping, which allows tabs to be "put to Eco-Sleep", while hidden the open tabs by clicking the Group-Tab Icon, is a feature I sorely miss in Firefox.

Odd, as, so many requested this feature, how come it has not been implemented over the many years of people asking?

Either way: Does anyone know a good, WORKING add-on that does the "Edge Thing" with FF tabs, please? Since, I often got like 200 tabs open, which is a real misery without Tab Grouping and "Hiding".

Thank you aforehand: Ke'Ylan.

Hi, i have a problem with printing pdf in firefox. I have no option with orientation (rotation) only on pdf opened in web browser. On another site i can change rotation normal. In microsoft edge for example there is option with orientation on pdfs

FFox on Win11.

I thought this would be easy to find. It's not. I consider that a bug.

I originally was trying to find out what the yellow dot to the right of the refresh icon meant. I'd still like to know.

Every time FF does an update it deletes my saved sites on the FF home page. When I try and put them back in the blank spaces it will not let me. I have tried reinstalling FF and it does not help at all. I try in safe mode and it does not work either.

Hi.

This message has three sections: little background, little rant, and little help from my friends.

Little background: I use PCs since Commodore 64, and internet since dial-up modems. Apart for some curiosity attempts with other browsers, I always used Firefox. Back then you either could do some DIY or you were done for. So, I am not a noob. And yet I am not a programmer, and do not have to damn be in order to use a damn internet browser. I have no words to express how negatively the choice of changing the behavior of the X button, to make it disappear when a certain amount of tabs are open, affects my user experience with Firefox. I tolerated it version after version. Found mentions of about:config tweaks which never worked. Found mentions to css codes which seemed so complicated that I just gave up (I also don't have much capacity for such things atm). I was ready to get rid of Firefox today after all this time of being loyal. I would have, if it was not for Cor-El. (Cor-El you can put this testimonial on your website if you'll ever start a consulting business).

Little rant: I SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH HATE bad UX Design! And the FIRST definition of bad UX Design is when a designer imposes their own tastes and preferences on the users, or makes assumptions (based on their own usage) about how users would do things. I don't give the lesser s... if Firefox's UX Designers usually only have few tabs open, or don't mind clicking on a tab to make the damn X button appear, or would gladly abandon their beloved ergonomic mouse to buy a standard one with a mid button just to close tabs, of whatever the f... was going on in their minds when they decided to remove such an ESSENTIAL FEATURE!!! This change is WRONG! Nobody asked for it, nobody wants it, nobody likes it. The X button was not disturbing anybody. WHY must we tweak some f... about:config setting or ask in this Community for some css code to get back what should have never been removed!!!??? DO YOUR JOB, which is to make OUR user experience better, OUR, not yours!!!

Little help from my friends: After quick searches over a long time where I couldn't dedicate more resources to this, I came here determined to dig deep to find a solution. And I've found a few posts with answers from Cor-El. I followed his instructions in THIS post to configure a css file with the code that he provided in THIS other post (because I thought I didn't want the delay offered by the code he provided in the former post). Problem solved.

Now a question for Cor-El: Is it just me or the solution with the two browser.tabs settings does not work? It's the first thing I tried. I went from 50/50 to 200/200 to see if size matters. But no chance. Maybe there is another setting that must be activated for these to have effect? Or was their effect on the X button removed in newer Firefox versions (like the UX Destroyers really hate us)? Btw, I wanted to see how the delay thing would work, so I tried the code you gave in the first post, and it didn't have any effect. Whereas the code you modified for a guy in THIS post works perfectly. What could be the reason?

And 2 requests: - can you make some guide or pinned post about this, where you put together the info you gave in different posts? Something with your super easy instructions how to create a css file, and the two codes (with and without delay). And if the browser.tabs solution can still work, that too. All info in one single place, easy to find. - can you point me to a (possibly ADHS friendly) resource to more css codes for other useful tweaks, and to an explanation of what all about:config settings do? I like to tweak things to my needs. But I get overwhelmed if I have to read through tons of material. Thanks :)

Bonus Material, Little Rant part 2: It's good and nice that people help each other and I am thankful, but it does not need to come to this. Sure, I've read that the (ridiculous) reason behind the choice of making the X button disappear was to avoid accidental closure of tabs. But WHY taking for granted that we are some !diots who can't even use a mouse properly? And even if it happens once, we can still go to the damn "recently closed tabs"! But no, they had to remove the X button for all of us, to prevent a bunch of !%#@! from maybe sometime accidentally closing a tab. Why not just adding an option in the settings (NOT in some hidden "about:config") to let us choose if we want to have the damn button or not? Btw, a lot of these about:config tweaks are really useful and not dangerous at all and should imo be included in the normal settings. Keeping things simple and tidy does NOT mean reducing options. Unless you're Apple.

Please God-zilla let these [censored content] UX Designers read this post.

Amen and happy new Xear.

I have dealt with this message when searching the web... after a google product search etc., the results populate- then I click on all the top results and I get nothing but this message and the sites will not open:

I noticed it's with most "Sponsored" results. Incredibly frustrating.

Please help!

There has been this odd banner of scripts on certain web pages for a while now and I'm not sure what it is or how to stop it. I don't know what the problem could be.

Hey, I'm trying to use Firefox on a school internet connection and I'm getting the "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue" error on every site, including www.google.com. It connects on other WiFi connections and through chromium browsers (Ex. Brave). I've tried the following: - Set Proxy settings to "No Proxy" - Set "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to Standard - Disabled IPv6 in about:config - Set security.enterprise_roots.enabled to False - Logged into my Google account over a different connection - Allowed Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts - Tried refreshing Firefox - Restarted my computer

The error is still occurring. Is there a way I can allow Firefox to connect normally over School WiFi?

I have pinned various shortcuts in the New tab to link to websites I frequently use. I use two different laptops and both are configured the same. However the New tab randomly clears the pinned shortcuts. I have attached two screenshots illustrating the changes.

I'm not aware of anything I do that caused the shortcuts to be deleted. When they are pinned I think they should be there permanently.

Hi, I have a 1Gb/s symmetrical fiber. And when testing Google Chrome and Firefox, Firefox has a problem with uploading to most sites. But somehow it does with Speedtest.net. It's kinda weird tbh. Not to mention I have QoS enabled why the 600 and 700.

Hello,

I never had a problem with using File >> Email Link to send a Yahoo email until now.

I keep getting a popup window asking me to choose an application, either Firefox or Gmail.

When I select Firefox in the popup window and click the Open Link, it does nothing.

Firefox doesn't work anymore but when I select Gmail in the popup window, it does work and I can send an email. I had never seen this popup window before until now.

I tried the Incognito Firefox browser and the same issue occurs.

I am using a Windows 11 computer.

Is there a way to get the Firefox Email Link for Firefox working again to send emails?

Thanks

When I log into the "https://wipp.edmundsassoc.com/Wipp/?wippid=JWSU" website, it does not display all the info on the website.

I am including images of the above website before and after logging in. I have also included the way it should look with a screen shot of it from Google Chrome. If it cannot be loaded correctly, I will have to switch browsers.

I have tried clear cache, history, etc. but still have problem.

So I've noticed that after putting my computer to sleep, upon return Firefox will be unable to load any videos from seemingly any site. The temporary solution to this is to reset my computer as sign offs, locks or returning to sleep do not clear the issue. I've tested on different browsers/sites and can confirm that this is exclusive to firefox. I have booted firefox in troubleshoot mode, cleared my history and given the sites time to load with no luck on any of them.

Is there a solution to this?

This happens now a lot, sometimes I can uninstall Firefox reinstall and it works. That worked this time but only for a few days. I am back once again to where I get this error on every place I visit. I have cleared my cache etc.. uninstalled reinstalled did a restore. It is only Firefox all other browsers work fine. No idea what to do anymore and am sad because I prefer Firefox. I only have standard windows 11 home security stuff installed so nothing special or fancy firewalls. Tried turning on default fire wall. Tried all the instructions on the more info page the error screen leads to.

This error occurs on most all websites or places I need to log into

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
