Hello,

after update of window 11 to 24H2, Firefox keeps crashing on start. I completed deinstalled Firefox, rebooted and installed again, no effect. I switched off hardware acceleration and all add-ins and selected system theme, no effect. No crash occurs when started in troubleshoot mode. I did a clean-up (in troubleshoot mode), no effect. What should I do now? Where is the error log?

Regards Christian

I'm trying to measure power consumption in Firefox using automation. My goal is to get power consumption metrics for specific webpage loads.

What I've tried: 1. Using Puppeteer with Firefox's profiler:

  - Enabled power profiling preferences
  - Used the Profiler CDP commands
  - Got profile data but no power metrics

I know Firefox DevTools has power profiling capabilities in the Performance panel, but I need to access this programmatically. Is there a way to: 1. Access the same power metrics that Firefox's Performance panel shows? 2. Get power consumption data through Firefox's debugging protocol or any other API? 3. Enable and collect power profiling data in an automated way?

Any guidance on the correct approach would be greatly appreciated!

When playing videos in Facebook after a few of them I get a blue circle spinning . When I use chrome I don't have a problem.I have had Firefox for over 10 years ,if I cannot fix this Em going to have to use chrome

A few months ago after an update to Firefox the window would open but be transparent with no controls visible. I tried the refresh Firefox option which worked but left other problems. A website has a medium blue header at the top with white fonts (links) on it, which still appear that way in Chrome and Opera, but since the refresh the header is black with black fonts in Firefox (which of course you can't see). There are also variations of this problem on some other other websites. The only way I can see links on those sites is to set color management to override 'always'. Is there any way to fix this problem? Thanks Mike

I've used Norton Safe Search on FireFox for years with no problem. But few weeks back, when I use Safe Search, it does no longer brings back the green checks indicating the site is safe. It works with Edge, but not with FireFox. I've contacted Norton and still waiting to get a response. Anyone have idea as to what is going on and how to fix it?

thanks -

not sure what to do now

For the past day or so every video on YouTube pauses after one minute with the 'Circle of Death' icon. Just hangs. Reloading the page only clears for a short time and after another minute it happens again. Speed tests and diagnostics from my Internet provider shows no constraints or problems with the connection. Other streaming applications do not have this problem. This happens with Firefox and Edge trying to show YouTube videos. Is there an application setting or Mozilla update that may have affected this activity? The attached image shows the pause at 1:00 minute.

I see this as a performance problem, and one that I'd hoped would be solved by now, since others brought it up in an Apple Forum.

When using iCloud Notes, the list always used to have empty circles/radio buttons to click on when done. They have all become black squares instead. Apparently this happened, according to a poster, with version 131.0. If so, it is still a problem with version 132.0.2, which I currently have.

Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255794426?sortBy=rank where this appears in the Apple Forum.

Recently, I've been experiencing an issue with YouTube on Firefox. I have restarted all my network equipment and removed any extensions from Firefox, but the problem continues. Any help would be appreciated. Please see attached photo.

Google Slides is very slow on Firefox compared to Chrome. It lags all the time in Firefox compared to Chrome where it runs normally.

An example here: Google Slides

Firefox version: 132.0 Operating System: Windows 11

I also notice it is using a lot more memory on Firefox compared to Chrome.

What?: Using screensharing option in Google meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google meet meeting. 2. Click share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings". - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quiting Firefox. the computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.

When I click any link in an email (gmail) firefox refuses to take me to the site. Instead I get error messages like error 404 or most recently, the attached which was from a link in an email from my doctor. I opened the same link using brave no problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a few times. I have deleted all plug ins. I can open every single one of those links and any other links in brave or any other browser. Not firefox. This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Recently, my bookmarks have disappeared (but leaving empty folders), reappeared, or reappeared but incompletely. (incompletely meaning not all showed up - alphabetically, only bookmarks beginning through letter "D." When I search bookmarks, the "missing ones" show-up in the results; they are just not visible in the toolbar. Similarly, if I try to add a new bookmark, it does not show. Help! thanks

Not sure about the category I selected for my question but here goes. Maybe the problem I'm having with Facebook is my browser. But, when I make or send a attachment to a Facebook message I'm replying to, while the photo of the attachment will show up the text within that attachment will not. How do I make the text ALSO appear within the attachment I'm sending. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sometimes, when I copy and paste a Youtube link into Firefox or I open a Youtube video in a new tab, the video player won't load. Sometimes it's fixed when I reload the page, other times it can only be fixed if I open a new Youtube tab and paste the name of the youtube video in.

Notes: - Tested in privacy browser with only Ublock origin active (no other extensions), did not appear to have this problem (It's a bit difficult to test since it only comes up sometimes with opening Youtube in background tabs/copying and pasting a youtube video)

    - Something I noticed: video player appears to load a lot faster in privacy browser.
    - However, turned off all extensions and themes in non-privacy browser and still had the issue
    - Youtube pages load in the background of privacy browser, but in the normal browser I have to click on them to load

- Turned off hardware acceleration, didn't change anything - Tried troubleshoot mode, doesn't look like the issue is still there? But confused on why the issue still happens when I turn all extensions off not in troubleshoot mode

Wondering if it's an about:config issue? I don't think I changed anything in there, though.

Screenshot of my issue below.

I'm running Windows 10 and Firefox with latest updates. With Firefox closed, when I right click on Firefox icon and select Open New Window a previous session window with whatever tabs were open is opened. This happens even if in the previous session I opened a new window, then closed all other windows, and then closed the single tab new window. This seems to have begun happening about 2 or 3 updates ago.

when doing image search (not by words ) in Yandex or Google the CPU clock is at full throttle (4.51ghz) And the pc starts to heat and slow down. on any other usage the pc is great . 8cores 16threads NVME 3X4 32gb ram gtx 3060 There is no issue on : ungoogled chromium_129.0.6668.100-1.1_windows_x64

Hello,

I'm brand new to Firefox (1 week!) and i was doing some copy and pasting in an email (using gmail) and i noticed that every time i tried to paste it would add a space into it. I was copying about 15-20 email addresses so it really slowed me down as i would have to go back and delete the space after the @ symbol every time! Is this a known issue and if so is there a fix? If not is there a way to do a bug report?

Thank you!

Best,

Zac
