Since mid-December, I've been experiencing abnormal lag on the https://namu.wiki website when using the official build of Firefox. For example, there's stuttering during page loading, and when I hover the mouse cursor over a hyperlink, there's about a 3-second delay before it responds.

However, I found that the site works correctly when using the Nightly build of Firefox. I suspect that this issue is not related to any extensions.

According to the page https://namu.wiki/w/Firefox#s-4.1.1 similar issues have occurred in the past with the official Firefox builds.

Please help.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I cannot uncheck delete all data and cookies upon close. I cannot keep previous sessions, meaning my research I do restarts because I have to dig out the bookmark or find, once again, the article I was reading.

I am getting very frustrated and when I went to uncheck it, I found I couldn't.

Can you add a configuration setting to Mozilla Firefox to disable Create New Profile, configurable in the policies.json file? (A second option but a much uglier one would be to disable being able to select a file location for a new profile. Then you could make the default profile directory write only, which would also accomplish the same thing.) (A third option would be to able to configure extensions by default upon installation in the ExtensionSettings policy.)

To explain, I use LeechblockNG on Firefox on Ubuntu. Very helpful. By placing a policies.json file (see at bottom) in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory, I can create a system wide policy. I can make the LeechblockNG extension mandatory and to be installed upon every new profile creation. That all works very well. HOWEVER, there is NO way to be able to set those options in the new profile. So LeechblockNG is installed with default options (which are no blocking at all), which effectively bypasses the addon.

I am also writing the author of the leechblock extension to see if there is any way to set the options for leechblock upon installation (the third option above).

But I know other people have this same question, and at present, if I am correct, there is no way to block new profile creation, or the Profile Manager window in Firefox.

So could you please add that option to the Firefox policies.json configuration? Something like "DisableNewProfiles": true would do it.

Thanks!

My current policies.json file in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true, "BlockAboutProfiles": true, "PrivateBrowsingModeAvailability": 1, "DisableSafeMode": true, "ExtensionSettings":{ "*": { "installation_mode": "blocked", "blocked_install_message": "Prohibited install more extensions." }, "leechblockng@proginosko.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4374316/leechblock_ng-1.6.6.xpi" } } } }

I have always used Firefox to log in to my Tesco Bank account, but for the past few days I am getting this message that Access is denied on this server, yet I can log in OK from other browsers. I am based in the UK.

I use a laptop, Windows 10, have done disk clean up, removed cookies & cache - all the usual stuff, but still get the same message. All other websites are working fine, any ideas why I am not allowed to go into my Tesco Bank account when using Firefox?

Any help much appreciated.

Whenever I restart Firefox, it uses about 30% of my RAM, however this increases over time and after a week it can be over 60%. No new extensions, tabs, windows opened, nothing changed from usage of day 1 to day 7. I have attempted everything in the support post for Firefox taking up too much RAM, and nothing has led to longterm solutions. This issue originally started about 2 months ago so it hasn't been consistent, but I haven't changed anything either in my browsing habits or the hardware of my computer to causes this change. Hardware acceleration is off, and using the same extensions (and more) on other browsers doesn't result in the same problem on those browsers. The problem is worst by far when I'm using YouTube.
