Firefox browser

I have been using Firefox for some years now and wondered why all of a sudden it is slowing my computer down and slows down my web pages when I am in them.

The firefox container tabs no longer have the container name just the color. I've looked at the setting, but nothing is there. Hovering over tab does not help. It used to work up until a few months ago.

This is difficult when different containers only show color and not what type they are ex. Personal, Banking...etc

Thanks,

Jaime

Sometimes I open several windows and some tabs in every window. It would be great if there is some possibility to get all windows but one closed an all tabs moved to this last open window to clean up this mess.

For example:

Window1:TabA,TabB.TabC Window2:TabD,TabE Window3:TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

will become:

Window1:TabA,TabB,TabC,TabD,TabE,TabF,TabG,TabH,TabI

Has anybody a solution for this? Maybe an addon, which I didn't find?

When I am using certain apps as webpages and I input information firefox keeps asking to update password even though the password has not been changed nor am I even in the place where passwords would be entered. Is there a way to turn this off at least for certain webpages ? Even manually and individually would be fine, maybe an option on the "update password" box to "not on this site" or something like that. Thanks,

So firefox randomly crashes. It briefly shows "Gah! Your tab has crashed" before it closes. There is no crash log, and when you open it up again it asks if I want to restore tabs and if you say yes, they all come back just as they were.

There is no particular website it crashes on, nor a particular time. Sometimes it's when I'm surfing, sometimes when it's just sitting there open. Sometimes it crashes after a minute, sometimes it crashes after 2 hours.

Yes, it does it in safe mode. Yes, I've rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried old versions. Yes, I've even reinstalled windows. Yes, I've updated all drivers and so on. I've also increased the memory allotment, and several other suggestions I found on google.

So, odd things that might help you diagnose it: when it comes back on, the volume of an in-tab player is usually, if not always, muted (not the computer, just the firefox media player - netflix, youtube, etc).

Also, I've owned this computer for 4 years and it's been a problem from the beginning; BUT I found a way to fix it. I just... can't remember what it was. Then about 6 months ago I had to send it in for repair and they wiped windows and I lost everything, since then it's crashing again.

I remember that my fix involved some fix or hack that made a *Second* set of min/max/close buttons in the top-right corner. So the normal sized ones, then a half-sized set above them. Does anyone know what I might have done to have that? Because as long as it was that way, it never crashed.

Failing that, is there a way to force firefox to create a log? Because it's not technically crashing, from it's perspective; a "tab" crashes (all tabs, actually) and then the program closes by default. But firefox itself seems to think it's not crashing so it makes no log.

I'm desperate: going to ask at a forum is worse than going to the second page of google. Thanks

Hi, there are several threads with my problem, but none of the solutions worked. Here the problem:

I use VPN for a certain database. The site requires authentication, even within vpn, which is not bad. Authentication happens through a small popup window. Each and every time I enter my credentials, Firefox springs back to this stage until my account is locked. Edge or Chrome do not have this problem. I use MS Edge under Linux, only for this one website. I already tried disabling my extension, cleaning my cookies, starting login on a freshly installed Firefox, nothing helped.

I would appreciate any hint not related to the steps already mentioned.

Thanks and regards Tibor Anca

Unexpected reaction on right mouse button release - how to disable

A few versions ago (donʼt know exact one) a new effect appeared: when pressing right mouse button on an element to get its menu (standard Firefox menu, not overridden by the page), if mouse cursor position is over a popup menu item, this item is immediately selected on mouse _release_ button.

In most cases the context menu popups right to the mouse position and this causes no effect. But if there is no place to right (the selected element is near right screen margin), a menu item appears under the cursor and, as stated above, is selected. It is unpredictable what item will be selected.

This is rather controllable (although annoying) with real mouse but uncontrollable with touchpad, as on most laptops.

Please suggest how to disable reaction on the mouse button release.

When I click on Firefox, the top menu bar is dimmed. When I click on New Tab or New Window, nothing happens. I've downloaded, reinstalled and updated the latest version of Firefox but it doesn't work. I've also clicked Option when opening Firefox. I click Refresh Firefox and it works but when I quit and restart, I'm back to the same problem again.
