Firefox 131.0.3 (64 bit) Ubuntu Linux CPU % drop dramatically when opening Firefox Task Manger.

While listening to an audio steaming service in tab1 that utilises ~ 58% CPU, opened up Firefox Task Manager in tab2. CPU load drops dramatically to ~ 8% without doing anything to existing processes and all the while audio is still steaming while in tab2. When switching back to tab1 CPU load increases again to ~ 58%. CPU load measured with Linux HTOP app.

Questions: 1. What is the reason for this? Can it have something to do with display card that is maybe used intensively in tab1 and not in tab2? 2. If the above in 1) is true then surely Firefox Task Manager does not measure active CPU loads correctly? 3. Is there any learnings from this to improve overall Firefox performance as standard?

Legacy Hardware: Intel dual core 2.8 Ghz CPU with 4GB Ram. OS: Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS 64 bit Display card: Nvidia 9500GT Connectivity: WIFI

Hi,

I am using a combination of the Firefox Desktop app on Windows 11 and the Firefox Android app on Android 15 (fully up to date) on a Google Pixel 8a.

Tabs on the phone app are not automatically syncing with the Desktop app. If tabs are open on the app, they are not reflected in the Firefox View tab or within my Desktop Browser History. If I press the Share option within the app, and choose my Desktop device, there is no change on the Desktop app. The only way I have made this work is to click on the Desktop - Account options and click Synchronise Now and then the expected behaviour occurs. I have signed out and logged back in using my Mozilla account and the same issue is occuring.

Is there a way to set it up so that I do not have to manually sync to get shared tabs across 2 devices?

Thanks.

I'm bi-and a half-lingual with ADD. For me the intrusive automatic translation popup is a nightmare.

I don't want to tell Firefox on a per language basis that I know that language, or on a per website basis that I don't want to translate that website. Please just make it stop! If I want a translation, then let me press a button to get a translation. Don't push it into my face!

This is an accessibility issue. I rely on adblocker to remove similar intrusive content from web sites so I can use the web, but now it's built into the browser itself. This causes unnecessary stress and makes the web less accessible.

Please add and easy to find option in the popup to stop it from ever appearing again, for ant language, on any website.

Hi - have been having an issue since 128 where I can't select items in certain menus in Firefox with the mouse. Each time I open Firefox, it works once. Subsequently, the focus in the menu is completely off from where I put my mouse, and I can't click anything. (I would upload a video, but there doesn't seem to be a way). An example of the behavior is: -hamburger menu open. Mouse is on 'Translate page', but focus is on 'save page as'.

  • This happens with both the trackpad and the mouse.
  • I don't experience this issue with other applications.
  • I can navigate some of the menu options with the keyboard. For example, in the Bookmark menu I can select Save, but not Remove bookmark.
  • I don't have any issue with the main nav bar (File, Edit, etc)

This applies to for example: Save bookmarks (cmd+d), Hamburger Menu, Update reminders, and the new Translation dialog (have attached screenshots of some affected items). I can't inspect them to see if they are all the same component that is causing the issue, because they disappear if you choose Inspect. (I'm unable to see a "Disable popup autohide" setting in my meatball menu, as described here). I also tried the steps listed [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../957538] here. Things I have tried:

  • resetting PRAM/SMC just in case it's my machine
  • disabling hardware acceleration
  • starting in safe mode
  • refreshing Firefox
  • updating to the latest version (thrice)

Nothing unusual in Windows 11 or Firefox Settings. Clicking the padlock icon, I see that connections are secure, but when a mouse-down cursor carrying a URL or image moves beyond the browser, it changes into a red circle-slash icon that fails to deliver the link or image.

Works fine in Edge (but I don't). Fixes and suggestions most welcome.

I have tried to use voice typing functionality from all major websites and found that speech recognition is not working at all in Firefox. The same voice typing works perfectly fine in Google Chrome web browser. If there is any solution then let me know. Not interested to use Google Chrome as it is consuming insane amount of my old PC RAM. It would be great if I could get help from Firefox. Because, Firefox is the only browser which is working smooth in my PC. I am using latest version of Firefox and I do not have any extension installed. In the incognito mode also facing same issue. Using Windows 10 and desktop version of Firefox.
