Reduce tabs

Just looking for a chrome style tab listing so it's not an endless scroll to find a tab, effectively making the browser useless.

Hi,

I started having a strange issue which never happen before and it is a regular occurance. When I close the brower, turn off the computer or reset it because it freezes firefox doesn't remeber the open tabs.

I'm signed in, I have the setting for it to open all tabs, but it doesn't do it, doesn't remember which tabs were 'pinned' and recen close tabs and widnows menu are blank.

It happened now 3 times since Monday, before it happened maybe once a year.

Do you have any suggestions?

This evening I tried to watch my NFL Thursday night football game on my DAZN account. I got a message above the screen that said that FireFox needs to install something for me to watch this program. Two hours later it is still saying the same thing. This has never happened before as I watch NFL football throughout the season. Never have had a problem with Firefox until now. What to do??

Dropped Frames on High Bitrate Youtube Videos Linux when using Global Scaling

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 had a computer crash. Restarted to restore point from earlier in day. FireFox would not start. Successfully restored FF on desktop; restored passwords; restored profile from saved profile. FF is working but the Win 11 list of apps shows both the current FF and a grayed-out FF. There is also a FF Private Browsing app. How do i get rid of the grayed-out FF. Pete

Tried to include a screenshot, but there doesn't seem to be that option.

I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

I just recently acquired a iMac computer from my brother. But, when I try to log into my twitter account I keep getting a authentication notice. When I successfully complete the authentication I get the message "something went wrong try again later". When try again later I just keep getting the same error message? And then after awhile, I get the message "I tried to many times". This issue has been going on now for over a week. I can't seem to get a hold of twitter for help. I tried to create a new account, but twitter won't allow that either?? So, I'm wondering with the new and different computer I'm now using, Apple iMac, is Firefox somehow the issue with Twitter? Sure would appreciate some help. Thank you.
