After the update to the new version of Thunderbird, it is running slow with "not responding" messages. It takes a few minutes to download emails from Google Mail but eventually works. I run widows 10 on 64bit Del laptop with 8GB RAM. I cannot upgrade to Windows 11 as my system will not support it.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.80 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Hi, Firefox been really bad on Linux the past few months, it suffers from a severe memory leak in this following situation: - Multiple tabs, especially if they are in the private mode - The browser and these tabs are kept opened for few days - On linux I tried all the latest updates, I tried different types of firefox (waterfox ESR ZEN etc.), I disabled all addons, I tried all types of linux (debian, rpm, opensuse, and others), the problem is the same, it will have a big memory leak (32 gb ram) that it eats up all the ram, if I want to save an image it takes few minutes to save one, and recently it just crashes. This problem happens only on Linux, I have firefox account and it syncs the addons on my other windows machine, I have far more tabs opened and I have them opened now for weeks, and it's working as expected and smoothly with no issues, so it must be with the linux package.

Recently found a problem of high GPU usage when watching videos. I have encounter this on other websites but YouTube is the most prevalent. Currently running is a NVIDIA 4060ti and the percentages I am getting range from a low of 15 to the high of 28. Hoping to gather some information on the topic and would love some explanation. I have already tried with no extensions enabled but had no luck in stopping the issue. Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 10 desktop.

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.

I now have roughly 100 email icons with no subject at the top of my screen. I have to scroll left through all of them before I get to the last 12 emails with subjects and then the inbox icon appears. When I click on a new email from the inbox, it opens and the email icon tab is all the way to the right. Now I have to scroll all the way back to the left to get to the inbox again!!. The email icon tabs cannot be deleted because the button turns light grey. Is there a solution or do I have to save the profile and uninstall Thunderbird?

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.

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

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

I'm using the latest version of TB: 128.4.3esr (32-bit) . . . But, I think I have noticed this on previous versions, also.

I like to Disallow Remote content from loading, for security purposes, and then to select to Allow it or not.

But I notice that if Remote content is Disallowed, when I click to delete the email, sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not. The problem is, it's like it deletes it, but then another copy of the email appears. It will not delete. I have to hit Escape, and then delete it in the list. Then that does nothing. I have to close and re-open TB to see that the email is gone.

This is in contrast to how if I just Allow Remote content, deleting an email always works as expected, but then there is the security risk.

If you get a lot of emails you don't want, it's nice to be able to delete them quickly.

What is hanging it up, if you Disallow Remote content?

I have tried Deleting smart mailboxes and virtualFolders.dat . . . This didn't do anything

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.
