In the "General" section of my Firefox Settings, it states that "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

When I click on that, it shows the word "Certificates" under Policy Name, and "ImportEnterpriseRoots" under Policy Value.

Is this something that Firefox installed, or is it something a third-party (like my former company) installed on my computer.

Also, would this possibly slow down my computer?

Thanks for your feedback.

In Gmail, when I try to attach a file, the Firefox upload window opens. It used to have a sidebar on the left (see picture from another computer) with a directory, including the option "Quick access." That is gone now, and I don't see any setting to restore it, not can I find any instructions online on how to restore that sidebar.

How can I get back to my previous performance on my laptop.? I've used the Task manager, permissions and other things. system restore is not good for me. going back to a previous date doesn't help. the troubleshooter wont work and task manager won't come up anymore. I've taken ownership of my computer several times. I've denied administrator permission as well as the trusted installer. They just come back the next day and take it back. Please advise what to do. I see you think it might have something to do with my antivirus program, Microsoft Defender. should I uninstall it and get another one. I just installed Malwareytes. Will that help? Thank you.

Diminishing performance (increasing lag) the longer Firefox 133 is open

I believe this problem began in 133. I've noticed that if FF is open for a few hours, it starts to develop a very noticeable input lag. For example, if I'm watching a YouTube video and hit an arrow key to advance the video, there will be a couple of seconds before the browser registers the key press. It behaves like a high CPU issue but I do not detect high CPU usage when this is happening. Restarting the browser resolves the issue for a few hours.

This is happening on Windows 11 as well as on a Mac running Sonoma.

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

On YouTube tabs, if Firefox memory usage starts climb (ie. more than 3-4 tabs active), there are janks for a few seconds preventing me from interacting with the YouTube tab. This jank does not happen with other tabs (can even interact normally with other tabs while the YT tab is janking). Attached is a profiler report.

The Avast Password Manager was deleted from task bar about 5 days ago or so-- 12/11/24. Why would Firefox do that and inconvenience its customers? It needs to be restored immediately and nowhere to find help on this matter. Avast is aware of the problem and so is Firefox but we, the customers, have no solution that is available. This encourages us to use Chrome instead. Is there a solution? Please advise.

When playing any audio on Firefox it plays only through the front center channel. Moreover, the right channel is completely mute (tested using youtube videos and https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html). Everything works correctly on Chrome and Edge

I've noticed sometimes the audio does work correctly, but I've no idea why that is.

I'm listening on HyperX Cloud 2 headphones, the virtual 7.1 setting doesn't change anything when listening on firefox, works correctly on Chrome and Edge.

Hi, on certain websites, like Steam Store and IMDB (for video game or movie/tv trailers), when I play a video but then switch tabs or minimize etc. the video immediately pauses itself, on other websites however like YouTube for example, this isn't the case and the video continues to play in the background, which is how I want it to behave for the websites mentioned above as well.

So I just wanted to ask if this is a setting imposed by the website itself, like Steam, or if it comes from the browser or maybe video player software or windows side etc. and I can change it by changing some settings or something, or is this something I can't do anything about and just have to accept as it is by unbypassable design of the website?

Thanks for any help or info.

Hello everybody, I'm facing an issue with an icon appearing on some sites and propagating down to the print out of the pages. Let me give an example: I'm interested in an article published on: https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/analog/article/55246421/modeling-on-mondays-nonlinear-spice-models-of-vacuum-tube-triodes-part-3?o_eid=9960G5790701E5D&oly_enc_id=9960G5790701E5D&rdx.ident[pull]=omeda|9960G5790701E5D&utm_campaign=CPS241216087&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ED+Power+%26+Analog When I open this page, an icon appears in the low left corner. And when I try to print the page, the icon appears on each page. If I use the simplified print mode, a kind of background of the icon (white box) is still visible on each page and can hide the text behind. On top of that the images no longer appear in the print out...

Any help to sanitize that is welcome.
