It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

outrageous, i moved from windows to debian for the purpose of exceling my ram capacity on this low spec netbook with 4GB 3.7GB usable with emmc chip and a celeron n4000 cpu turns out ff eats just like in windows.

I am not an expert just savy, remember the time when upgrading from 32MB to 64MB was a big leap? well where the hell did 4GB of ram became obsolete? so there's no windows conspiracy just exponential ram usage?

Is there a different version of FF i could use for this 4GB machine? non-upgradable I could always try vivaldi or look else where but i trust FF for base security. I am using ublock origin on the machine too and 1 custom theme but i doubt that fixes the root cause. Is all the internet in the 2020s this ram voracious beast?

upon loading a empty tab FF uses 500MB for itself forget about the 64MB system ram from the 90s is FF 2025 really so complex or is this a conspiracy? then i load startpage.com and it uses 200MB!! of ram just on that search form man.

A Google Search produced a file within my Mac as one of its responses. It took me awhile to figure out it was the response beginning , "https://downloads . . ." I knew Google's reputation as the worst spy of internet activity, but I thought it only searched the internet. How can I prevent Google searching within my computer files?

I have been using Firefox for years. Recently the site locks up and I have to close Firefox via task manager. Is there a fix. I am a Microsoft user. Other browsers like Edge do not freeze’

Thunderbird stopped working. I received the following message - "Add Security Exception You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this. Location: smtp.optusnet.com.au:25 This site attempts to identify itself with invalid inforation The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site

Permanently store this exception"

I have clicked on 'Confirm Security Exception" but I still can't send or receive emails.

Semaphore.social is a mastodon/fediverse web client. I've been using it without issue up to now and it has not updated recently.

After a few hours running the CPU usage of Firefox becomes very high (25-50%) and the about:performance shows that it is due to this tab, which shows at values from 110 to 160% or thereabouts.

I haven't noticed this before updating to Firefox 134.0 so I suspect it may be a Firefox regression.

However I cannot work out what the cause is, how to fix it, or if I should file a bug on it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

The increasing volume of spam is getting annoying. If I filter spam messages they get put aside, and that doesn't hurt the spammer. What I would like is a reject option so that the spammer gets a bounced email. that will really annoy him and perhaps 'encourage' him to not spam me.

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.
