Firefox Community Forum

I am on a Mac using Firefox and am unable (most times) to connect with Newsmax.com.

WTF is wrong?

Shall I switch f. rom Mozilla to Chrome?

Hello,

In the last 1-2 weeks I experience severe freezing/jank when having multiple tabs open and switching between them. Previously, I didn't have any problem even with 30+ tabs.

After running the profiler with "Firefox" settings applied, I found that the "Parent Process" reports a "Jank" event for the duration of the freeze. See screenshoots attached.

After further testing, this seems to happen when scrolling the Tabs bar at the top. If I scroll the tabs using the new "List all tabs" button or if I use tab switching window, it doesn't happen.

On 10/5/2024 I suddenly had no access to my saved passwords for websites, all my bookmarks were gone and no autofill works anymore. I have searched and searched for anything relating to these missing saves in password manager, I've used EaseUS, I've tried system restore. It's like my my saves were completely wiped! When I did a system restore, Firefox uninstalled itself completely when it shouldn't have. Now it's like I never had Firefox on this pc and there's no history or anything dated before today 10/6/2024. I've tried import from other browsers and there's nothing there. I'm a bit upset here, is my history, saved passwords, bookmarks and, autofill just gone and irretrievable?

I realize this may not necessarily be a topic for this forum, but It's an ongoing problem for me involving Firefox, so if I can at least be pointed in a direction for solutions I would appreciate it.

I avoid Chrome whenever possible, but there are times when I must use it, like today when I had to compare a problematic website behavior.

My experience for quite a while now has been when Firefox and Chrome are both open at the same time, even if there is no activity for a period of time, they both crash. Cashing rarely occurs for either when they stand alone. That's what happened today when I returned to my device to see Firefox closed and Chrome frozen.

I have reliability monitor crash reports from today on Chrome and dwm.exe. (Desktop Window Manager), but the Chrome report is 40 minutes after Desktop Window Manager, so I don't know if they are related, but Chrome has 4 crash reports since 9/4 with no other accompanying dwm.exe reports on those dates. but the coincidence is worth considering to eliminate it as a factor.

I have a number of cbs.log entries during the time of the dwm.exe report, but nothing for Chrome, occured 40 minutes later.

How do I get rid of the Tabs Manager? I never use functions like that and it just showed up after the last update on my computer. The articles I found about removing it via the about:config page don't work and I really, really, REALLY want it gone.

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

Greeting. List all tabs button appears after last update and I can't remove it from toolbar. Is there any options to do it? Set browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled to false didn't help

Everything was normal before the update. When I did the update, the menus changed, the bookmarks disappeared, the new tab key disappeared, how do I get it back to its original state?

Greetings. I have Windows 10 and Firefox for my browser. Has worked very well for many years but now I have a problem with Google search. Normally when I do search on Google and get the results I can click on a link and it will open in a new window(tab). 3 days ago I noticed that when I clicked on the link after search the site would open in the existing window. I checked my settings in Firefox and they appear to the untrained eye to be normal. I did go to the settings in Google and noticed that the "open results in a new window" was disabled. I enabled the option (no save function was available) and did a search again. This time it worked as I had hoped opening in a new window. This worked for a few hours and then once again noticed the problem. I went back to the Google settings and once again it was disabled. I enabled it and then worked fine. It continues to disable this function to open results in a new window after a few searches. Not sure if this problem is with Google or Firefox. I apologize for the length of this question but am trying to provide as much info as possible. I very much would appreciate any assistance regarding this .. Thank you

I have no use for it. And it distract my workflow when I have a lot of tabs open, preventing me to easily move through tabs.

I dont want or care to use the css fix. I just want the "remove from tab" option to not be disabled.

I am having a problem accessing websites and features with firefox. I have updated everything and am running current version. Specifically, HiBid Auctions and PNC Bill Pay currently. Websites work one dday and not the next. Do I need to change my Default Browser?

Today I was notified Firefox version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using the Charles Schwab website, I can't access my bank account, which is a separate entity, and requires me to use Schwab's access method. I've used this method/tool for a decade or more without incident until FF 131.0 showed up. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms: • Block third party cookies • Cookie tracking • Cross-site tracking Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled.

I've disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", cleared the browser of cookies and site data. I disabled Privacy Badger and Ghostery. None of which helps.

This procedure works using Firefox on an ios tablet. Also, it works with Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for any help. -Deke
