After updating to v132 I have noticed a significant increase in the load times for some websites that our users connect to. Using v131.0.3 I usually see < 1 second load times for the two websites I am monitoring but after upgrading to v132 it is consistently taking 18-19 seconds for the same page. I have tried uninstalling v132 and reverting to v131 and it immediately goes back to the much faster load times. I have also tried installing various v133 releases and I see the same performance issue as for v132.

The environment I am working in is behind a network firewall with relatively restrictive internet access and I am wondering whether there are sites that Firefox is trying to connect to for the new anti-tracking or suspicious activity features (or anything else) that are being blocked and are therefore causing timeouts and retries that are bumping the total load time up.

Can anyone think of anything else I could check or change?

I have started to use the vertical tab layout because the ability to collapse the tab bar gives a lot of extra screen space to work with on my laptop. I like to be able to split my screen between different apps to work with.

When I try to split screen Firefox with vertical tabs enabled the window cannot be resized down to a little more than half the width of my screen. So it has to take up a just little more than half my horizontal screen space. Even though I can collapse the tab bar to see the page.

Is there a way I can circumvent the unnecessary horizontal window resize limit when vertical tabs is enabled?

Bonus question: When I do reduce horizontal window size it hides the button to collapse and open the sidebar. So I lose a lot of essential control. Is there a way to pin it so it won't disappear no matter what?

Youtube will not play audio. Game sounds work as well as running youtube on Edge, but not on Firefox. I have disabled hardware acceleration, made sure nothing is muted and even downloaded a soundfixer addon, but nothing works. This problem just began after a restart of my router and computer.

An answer to my question was and is the very first thing I do after eating a couple crayons that were just up my nose. Because the shared wifi included with rent is shared, and I don't always have personal data , i was trying to find a possible answer to how to block access to my computer from outside online intrusions due to millions and and 1 different permission given away already. Never mind I'll just google it , google already k ows that am gonna ask anyways.

Recently Firefox has shown several incidents where its uddenly become 'obstructed' in some manner, with Error messages displaying that prevent my accessing Firefox and using it as it's supposed to be used. I'm not a technical person who can interpret these incidents, but when these incidents happen, out of the void, I've just tried to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox. I've somehow (seemingly) been able to ultimately reinstall Firefox after these incidents, but I'm wanting to know WHY these incidents are happening? Firefox doesn't give me any help here with this question, as far as I can see, so I'm wondering why these paralytic Error messages are happening, and what I'm supposed to do to keep Firefox functioning correctly, preventing this interference with the browser's functioning? Can anyone PLEASE HELP ME with this issue here, or even point me in the right direction? Thank you very much for any explanatory help you can provide. Merry Christmas (I hope!).

When we are going to get Library (Bookmarks) in this Firefox view tab (which doesnt have its local URL unlike Chrome)?

Like history (finally 😌) is in new tab unlike in new window (which is forced, not user managed), we need library for bookmark manager like Chrome or Edge has inbuilt. Even passwords aka logins category would be appreciated.

Seriously requesting this.

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

When importing logins and notes and URL from Chrome to Firefox, why the latter doesn't bring notes and read double URLs?

All of my notes are gone and if similar URLs are doubled.

Sharing one screenshot, since I cannot share another due to privacy (until a Mozilla dev team asks for it directly without sharing it on public platform).

How do I get rid of the requirement of having ctrl or alt in extension shortcuts? Also overriding firefox shortcuts would be nice.

I've been using my binds/shortcuts in chrome for years and I'm not adding multiple keys to all of them. I really want to use firefox as my only browser but can't because of these stupid restrictions.
