I have been using TB (under Ubuntu) for years without problems. I am now on version 115.15.0. Suddenly today the performance of the UI is abysmal. Even selecting a different folder to view in the navigation pane can take over a minute to complete. The activity monitor is no help. It often shows that nothing is happening when I am waiting for the view to change from one folder to another. When it does show something, it is usually indexing an inbox, but I have 5 accounts with inboxes, so this is no help. How can I see which inbox is being indexed? Some posts say that there should be a pause button in the Activity Monitor for the indexing activity, but I don't see any such thing. Some posts recommend changing mailbox format from mbox to mdir, but they don't say how. Searches for "mdir" in Thunderbird's settings and in the support knowledge base support knowledge base came up empty. How can I restore Thunderbird's normal performance?

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

Hello,

My Websocket server recently started failing in Firefox. After some investigation it looks like the issues began in v130. The Websocker server works in all other browsers and in Firefox version <= 129. After much troubleshooting it seems like a change was made to the TLS negotiation when making a Websocket connection. I was able to temporarily solve the problem by forcing TLSv1.2 instead of negotiating the strongest TLS available. Was there a recent change to how TLS is negotiated when making a wss Websocket connection?

I'm using a pixel 8. Firefox is my default browser. I noticed safe search was suddenly locked on my phone. I went to search to try and trouble shoorlt and Firefox was gone from my phone! I reinstalled it. The next day it was uninstalled again. My phone was also really glitchy and a few apps stopped working. I wouldn't uninstall Firefox as it's my go-to browser. My bookmarks came back but lost all my dlsabed passwords. Anyone have Firefox randomly uninstall itself?

A few months ago, I noticed that Firefox has become very slow. When I looked at my task manager a minute ago, it showed 2,500 MB of memory usage and very high power demand after I had opened only three websites plus yours. I took the computer - a desktop using Windows 10 - to a technician who took $140 to tell me that he "cleaned it up and everything should be faster now." It is not any better for it.

How can I get my computer to work in Firefox as well as it does in Edge?

Thank you, Barry

A 'noisy' tab is preventing auto-sleep ('powercfg /requests' shows audio activity), Firefox doesn't ID which tabs have active audio. Searching for help only provides useless information, instructing me to click a non-existent button: "Visit the tab tray by tapping the number next to the address bar". I have no such button, only a 'taggle reader view' button.

During what I assume are high bitrate sections of YouTube videos (e.g. lots of movement, high resolution) YouTube will constantly drop frames.

Video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLuTLF3x9sA

I have tried: • Safe Mode • Installing the Flatpak and testing in that, which also has a fresh profile as I don't use the Flatpak version • Testing different related about:config settings – I can't remember them all now, but I tested every one I found googling that is related to the issue or hardware acceleration.

Hardware acceleration is for sure working. Turning it off makes the video drop to one or two FPS.

Chromium has no problem with the same video. However, you can see from the screenshots that both read the resolution/scaling of my screen differently, and it implies that Firefox is rendering something like 6314 x 3552 while Chromium is rendering at UHD, the resolution of the screen and my video. If I turn off all my Global Scaling, Firefox stops dropping frames (the same info box on YouTube states resolution is UHD), reinforcing my theory about scaling being the issue. Both are confirmed to be using native Wayland.

I have 132.0.1 on windows 11. It is seriously messed up. For youtube videos, I get a blank video screen, and other parts of the web page don't get loaded (gifs/other jpegs, for starters). Gmail leads to a 400 error - with google saying it doesn't know why. Some of the fonts, in some headlings, are nothing I have seen before, in some web pages. Some html formatting is totally bonkers. Reddit, wellsfargo as examples, where you will see the elements in what looks like a text-based document, and nothing can be selected that otherwise would be selectable. Some of my bank urls just have spinning behavior that never times out.

All the foregoing works fine on Edge. And yes, I have restarted the browser many times, restarted the computer many times, even restarted the router. I have not messed with preferences for quite some time. javascript is enabled.

I might have seen some of this in the previous update, 131.x.

Oh, under Performance I do NOT see a possible selection for hardware acceleration. So that's out.

I have a lenovo ThinkPad, with AMD cpu, a few years old, with Windows 11 pro.

I have used firefox for years working on at this point over a dozen computers, and I have never seen anything like this, and so much going wrong at one time.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

But perhaps a different kind of problem, like "Passwords and login".

This has started a few months ago, after an update. I would go to a website, fill in my credential, and then NOTHING. No error message, no movement. There are now several websites where this happens (see below). On some I could fix the problem by putting the website on the ALLOW list of Malwarebytes Browser Guard, but not all. On some, it was enough to allow ads and tackers, on others I had to also allow scams and malware, but on some nothing helps. All of them work perfectly well in Chrome, where I did nothing to BrowserGuard.

The websites fixed:

Not fixed:
