When I downloaded Firefox again, it gave me a nice option called “VerticalTabs”. I could also see this option in FirefoxLabs, but when I had to delete Firefox due to a bug on my computer, I could no longer see it in FirefoxLabs. Also, FirefoxLabs used to have an artificial intelligence add-on called ChatBot, but now it is gone. What is the reason?

Windows 11 24H2

On computer restart or program restart, firefox moves all previous windows from primary monitor to secondary monitor.

Before restart, I usually have 10+ windows open on primary monitor and 1-3 windows open on secondary monitor. After restart, all windows are opened on secondary monitor and I manually move them each to the primary monitor. It seems like they open on primary monitor, but immediately move to the secondary monitor.

If I make each individual window a small window on its corresponding monitor and shut down firefox, the windows will open on the correct monitor on the next restart...but if those windows are minimized, they will open on the wrong monitor on restart.

Is there any way to fix this or automate the window moving process?

Thanks

I really like Firefox - I just have to say that up front. I don't want to have to change to another browser, but...

I see articles going back to at least 2020 about CPU usage running up to 100% and multiple processes open that at least double or triple the number of tabs that are open. My recent experience is that this phenomenon is getting worse and I'm wondering if it will ever be resolved, or if I have to look elsewhere.

Thanks

Hello,

I am using the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origin ad blocker. About six months ago, I was able to open multiple windows simultaneously without any memory issues. However, recently I’ve noticed that even when I open just a single window, over time, my RAM usage climbs to nearly 98% of my 16GB memory.

I’ve tried restarting my entire computer, but it didn’t help. I also attempted enabling hardware acceleration, but that didn’t resolve the issue either. I’m not sure what else to do and would greatly appreciate your help.

Your browser is incredibly convenient to use, but it’s consuming too many resources, and I’m worried I may have to switch browsers, which I’d hate to do. I moved over from Chrome and was really happy with Firefox.

I often use YouTube videos in multiple tabs, but this was never a problem before. I also tried the trick of adding a new system variable and setting it to 1 (to reduce multi-process operations), but that didn’t make a difference either.

I’d be grateful for any advice you can provide.

Best regards, Dan

For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thunderbird only connecting intermittently

I'm using Thunderbird version: 128.5.1esr, Build ID: 20241202160748, under Linux Mint 22. My mail host is Pair Networks, and I collect my e-mail via POP3.

The problem I'm seeing is that most of the attempts which Thunderbird should be making to collect mail are apparently not happening. I'm using the activity manager in Thunderbird to tell me when connection attempts occur.

Firstly, the 'get messages' option, whether via the speed button OR the menus OR the hotkey combination, has no apparent effect.

Secondly, the setting to check for new messages at startup was apparently disregarded.

Thirdly, I decreased the interval for checking for new e-mails down to one minute. Again, the activity manager page remained blank. The check was either not happening, or wasn't being recorded.

What DID happen is Thunderbird appeared to be doing a timed check for new e-mails every 4-5 minutes. So, I called the tech support at my mailhost and asked them to check their logs. They confirmed that they were only seeing attempts to connect every four or five minutes. I called the tech support at my ISP. I'm a lot less confident in them than I am in the tech support at my mailhost, but they insisted that they didn't do anything with my connection which could interfere with attempts to collect mail.

Now, I don't really care about getting my e-mail every minute, BUT that 'get messages' option taking up to five minutes to take effect is a real nuisance in these days of two-factor authentication. I'm at a loss to think of anything else - I really can't believe that a version of Thunderbird has got out where all the above flaws are present.

MY first question is whether anybody else is seeing anything like this? Of course, if anybody has any suggestions for a fix to the problem, I'd be grateful to hear that as well. I would have posted the troubleshooting information generated by Thunderbird, but there's 84KB of the stuff, so I'm hesitant to do so.

Thanks for any info.

The column width and spacings in my Thunderbird keep changing. When I restore them they seem to affect other folders. I need to be able to preserve different column spacings in different folders. Also when I try to move columns they drag other columns along, so realigning is a tedious process, not simple.

I'm not sure what type of issue this is, so hopefully I’ve posted it in the right place!

Devices:

  • Firefox version 133.0 on 2022 M2 MacBook Pro OS Sequoia 15.1.1
  • Firefox version 133.0 on iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 18.1.1 (*for reference, of checking issue, not where issue is occurring)

Issue Breakdown: While updating my bookmark's tags in Bookmark Manager, my tags all but disappeared and other strange things started happening.

  • My tags aren't in the sidebar menu of the Bookmark Manager at all. See Screenshot 1.
  • Already tagged bookmarks retained the tags, but I’m unable to edit, add, or remove bookmark tags at all. When the bookmark is selected, the bookmark’s tags, nor any other tags, appear in a list under the bookmarks tags. See Screenshot 2.
  • I can locate all bookmarks with the same tag by searching bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager.
  • I can move and rename pre-existing bookmarks.
  • I can add new bookmarks (confirmed by the blue star beside the address bar on the main browser after exiting and re-entering), but I cannot find those bookmarks anywhere in Bookmark Manager.
  • My mobile bookmarks folder isn’t shown in Bookmarks Manager, but I can view 11 bookmarks in my Mobile Bookmarks folder on my phone’s Firefox application.

I’ve tried the following:

I have no idea what is wrong with it or what is going on. What else can I do?
