2 DAYS AGO I got an XUL error notice in my UP TO DATE Firefox. Tried turning on or off at times hours apart no use.

Getting by with other browsers in the meantime. But today At about 1:40 PM CDLST 15 August 2024

my computer locked up completely. Several dialog boxes stacked up and mouse and keyboard were ineffective it gave a virus name which I did not write down and a purported Microsoft number to call but I ignored it. Turned off my computer turned on and ran scan with Malwarebytes software NO INDICATION OF INCIDENT

The help page advice for XUL does not have the assurance NOTED AT BOTTOM.

IS THE FOLLOWING TRUE FOR ALL REMEDIES INVOLVING UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING FIREFOX? INCLUDING XUL ERRORS?

ASSURANCE The solution is to remove the Firefox program and then reinstall Firefox. (This will not remove your passwords, bookmarks or other user data and settings which are stored in a separate profiles folder.)

Lately I have been having low memory warnings, but still have some things I can dump to make room.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have spent several hours trying to troubleshoot Firefox slowing my CPU/mouse cursor but have found no solution. I have only three tabs open and Firefox is taking nearly a GIGABYTE OF MEMORY! This is ridiculous and totally inefficient.

I made Firefox my main browser for faster loading times, which are faster, but then it trashes my efficiency by making my mouse cursor jump all over the place, lag, etc. I have 32gb of memory and a decently fast Ryzen CPU from only a few years ago. Gaming rig.

It makes no sense that Firefox slows down my Windows experience.

Please fix! I should not have to go through a bunch of troubleshooting actions to make Firefox not slow my PC down. I have seen many users complaining of the same issue.

Please fix.

Sincerely, McKay

hello Since the 129.01 update yesterday 14-08-24, internet access for the desktop died completely. I used Microsoft Edge (don't ask what release) as a back up browser, that failed citing a DNS error.

Not knowing what to do I found a really old version of Firefox and installed that.

Things are coming back to life but I need to install v129.00 because that worked.

I had to use another computer (laptop win11) for access.

Need help so I can cancel the order for the new desktop.

I use Firefox Nightly 131, because it have vertical tabs, but why you still have a empty top bar? can I hide it?What's the difference between that and horizontal tabs? It takes up just as much space.

I was working on a work site and every time I wanted to delete an item a pop up would appear asking if I wanted to confirm deleting. I was tired of confirming and there was a box offering to stop the pop up. I clicked it and now I can not delete anything. I checked settings and added the site to allow popups that did not help. How do I fix this?

Hello,

So I turned on my computer and then opened FireFox and then all my important data is gone. My bookmarks and my passwords just vanished. I've used the same browser for years and have never had an issue until now. It's sucks cause there is years worth of information gone. I tried to load my information form an "Old Firefox data" folder but it has been no luck so far. I am desperately trying to get my information back to the way it was.

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

Tell me how to fix the problem I described. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3) on my two Dell Latitude laptops (E6420 & E6430) Another question regarding the Firefox browser is how to contact a insecure web site manager that I have no telephone number for. I shouldn't end the sentence that way.
