For a month or so after last updates is getting impossible to work with firefox. It's is getting sluggish with 3-4 open tabs after few minutes, I can't do anything, have to close all windows and open again. Even to text this for got ridiculous slow, I have only 5 addons enabled, I had 10 before but for testing disabled all others. now only have ublock origin, disconect, ad-block, blocktube, and facebook container. If I open youtube, facebook and a google searching page and start to use, after few minutes everything goes very very slow, if to type something. What's going on ? Also there's like 12 firefox tabs on task manager, taking a lot of processing and memory. Already scanned with antivirus, and it's clean. Intel i7-6700T 16gb ram, SSD, Radeon R7-M370 it's a HP AIO 27-p010xt-CTO. And is not because it's an old machine on my new laptop happens the same, and I went online and there's a lot of people saying the same.

Just added Thunderbird for Android and imported my email addresses.

I am not seeing any messages in the unified inbox and only see that folder and the outbox folder. I have 4 different gmail accounts and 1 yahoo account where I have no issues on the desktop side. Android is 14, running on unlocked Motorola Edge+ 2023 and T-Mobile network.

Please let me know if there is anything additional I can supply to resolve this.

I keeps lots of pages open (almost 100) but they are continually adding/updating cache in the background. More than 1gb of cache is created withing a couple of days.

My workflow is such that organize my tabs into separate windows for distincty different subjects. Generally this work fine; when I shut down, they typically re-open as before.

Recently this function has stopped working. Now when I launch Firefox after a shutdown, the "Window" menu shows that the separate windows still exist, but some of them stubbornly refuse to re-open. Clicking the individual titles in the window menu has no effect, they remain unopened.

When this happened to me a few years ago, I was advised to re-start my laptop in safe mode. At that time this procedure solved the problem, but now it does nothing. Does anyone hve an alternate suggestion?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

Firefox beta usually works OK but random webpages either take ages to load or even hang indefinitely. Most of the responses I've seen on this subject simply ask for more info re websites, extensions etc but other browsers don't have these problems, so it looks like a core Firefox thing.

My Firefox started crashing a lot recently. Dozens of tab crashes within the span of just a minute or two are not uncommon. Sometimes, the entire browser itself crashes. Usually, the reason given is a vague EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE or EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. I should note that in my case, the crashes affect most of the browsers I use, but they do not crash nearly as often as firefox does.

I've tried using it without any extensions (clean install), and with hardware acceleration disabled. I've run a RAM test also, which showed no issues. Disk check also indicated no issues. I installed windows 10 and even windows 11 on the secondary hard disk, but the issue persisted. I've also tried forcing my discrete/integrated GPU to be used solely as the display adapter, but the crashes still persisted.

When using firefox on ubuntu, the crashes do not happen, strangely. There was only one instance that I noticed the crashes on ubuntu, and that was when I set my discrete graphics card as the exclusive display adapter, from the BIOS settings.

Anyway, nothing really sticks out as the root cause. Wonder if someone is able to decipher anything from the crash reports below https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-6927a483-6c22-4830-b057-1413e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-42b9b1f5-5820-4ed9-9c52-30c8e0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-0b92e804-00e8-4515-9129-3b5db0241104 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-d27cdb0b-3e38-4507-925b-09ce30240914 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-fa6b0609-ae19-4a66-a81d-078040240911

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

My entire experience with TB has changed and I don't know if it's something I did or if TB changed its format. I just want my old start screen back to the way it was before. Now, I send an email with photos included IN THE EMAIL and when I look at Sent email it looks nothing like what I sent and the photos are at the bottom of the screen as attachments. If these changes are on TB's end, I'm definitely not happy with them. Is there a way to get the previous format back?
