For about 2 weeks now my Firefox Desktop v. 128.0.3 (Mozilla-Flatpak - 1.0) freezes within 30 mins of use.

No good waiting, nothing responds except the exit button.

Clearly, there's a flaw in a recent update.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and my Firefox is from Flatpak.

While writing this I got a Flatpak update for Firefox and Firefox.Locale - whatever that is.

So I'll park my question till I close and reopen Firefox - hopefully with a release from the big freeze-up.

I've been your loyal customer for more than a decade. Please, tell me what to do. I don't want to use some Chromium piece of crap because of this.

I use two Firefox windows: one that has the web interface of my music player only, and another window for other internet browsing.

However, sometimes when I open a link from outside Firefox it opens in the window of the music player rather than in my "browsing" window. Moreover, when I switch to Firefox (using Cmd+tab on MacOS), the music window is selected rather than my "browsing" window, even if the last selected window was my browsing one.

Is there a way to make a window exclusive for a tab so that no other tabs are open in that particular window (and perhaps the tab bar is hidden)? Or is there to designate one of the windows as the "main" window?

I was told my bank that there has been an issue with firefox since the last upgrade. I can sign into my account, but if I try to do anything or click on anything, the site locks up and I can not do anything except for sign out. They told me that it was on your end and that you needed customers to reach out. It's becoming frustrating that I can't use firefox for this application. I can get into my account and do what needs to be done with other browsers. What can you do on your end. The bank is Mission Federal Credit Union. Thank you! I look forward to hearing back with good news!

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?

Text is blurry in Firefox when I am viewing on an external monitor. All Windows dialogs look normal and Chrome and Edge look fine. Only Firefox seems to have the problem. I am using the latest version of Firefox as far as I am aware (auto-update is turned on). The OS is Windows 11. The external monitor is set to 2560x1440 resolution and fonts are scaled to 125%. I'm not sure what other settings are important. I don't see setting in Firefox that seems likely to help.

I have been using addons, that allow opening web pages in sidebar, and all share a similar drawback, which is why I believe it to be on the browser side. When I close the sidebar and open it again, the page gets reloaded. This makes using messengers etc. in sidebar much less comfortable. I noticed, however, that bookmarks and history, when opened in sidebar, remember the state the were in when last closed. Is there some simple way to make pages remember their state as well or it can only be done by changing the addons' or the browser's code?

I am developing a website and when troubleshooting I am getting the following issue in both private browsing and normal browser mode.

- 'my_watchlist' html page loads in the both browser mode windows as it should - in both browser mode windows, view source code shows a dashboard page html and not the my_watchlist page html - inspect shows the correct html code for the my_watchlist page in both browser mode windows

The reason this is an issue is because I am not getting changes made to the source code in the my_watchlist page showing after saving and uploading to the server.

To clarify, I have tried: - closing browsers completely and reopening - still same issue - clearing cache - same issue - restarting pc - same issue

What is causing this?

Thanks.

This current update (129.0) crashed my windows 10 pc. Firefox showed that the update was completed and restarted itself. Nvidia downloaded a driver update & attempted to install it but failed. The error msg indicated that another app update was in progress, prevented it from installing, and to try later. Based on what I saw on Task Manager, Firefox locked up the windows installer module and had 100% disk usage. PC then crashed and looped several times trying to auto-repair itself. Had to do a hard power down, a safe boot, and the restore PC and Windows 10 to last good version. Will not do any Firefox updates until this problem is resolved.
