I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

I can't find them.

Edit: found it. No idea what the problem was.

Seems like @firefox @mozilla is doing something right

I'm getting an alert that BitWarden needs a new permission on my devices, but can't figure out how to do that, clicking on the alert simply opens Firefox and I can't find anything in settings or add ons, so how does one do this?

When firefox is not in a maximized window, the resolution of the window is very small, and changing the resolution by hand all the time is annoying, so I want to give it a fixed size. How can I do this?

To disable it in about:config

browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabled  =  false	
browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabled  =  false

To preface:

On the website https://danbooru.donmai.us ever since I ran the firefox profiler for a different issue (I don't think it's related atm, just coincidental) I have been having a serious issue with loading images on all browsers. I've been trying to see if I can figure out the actual cause through firefox to no avail.

What occurs: If I open up an image in another tab, and the image does not finish loading, If I try to open up any other images, or go to the next page of a search, all danbooru sites will hang until the image finisher. This seems to degrade until eventually one will stop loading.

A few times, I've been able to catch this error:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to danbooru.donmai.us.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

This seems to apply to any image aggregation sites where I can load an image large enough to require loading, as if the image loads instantly, nothing occurs.

What i've been ultimately trying to do is figure out why it's happening. My closest route so far has been that it's in some way related to the TLS handshake, the problem is I can't find anything in the console, network, or debugging that points to the when the image was loaded.

I'm currently running the multiprocess browser console as well, and while it's had a lot of things pop up, none of them refer to the final website of the image, or the script number that shows below it in the src.

So ultimately, I guess what i'm asking:

  1. Do you know what would cause websites in the same domain to hang until one finishes loading?

  2. What in firefox can see the loading process?

Lastly:

-I have already re-sync'd the system clock

-I have already reset the firefox profile, with a complete deletion and reinstall even

-I tried turning on webGPU, I don't think it's done anything

-I have not tried messing with the TLS settings because apparently SSL 3.0, 1.0, and 1.1 are supposed to be off

-I have done numerous DNS tests including a namespace benchmark test to try to make sure the DNS is okay, and did NS lookup to make sure it was actually being used

-I have used curl to download an image during the hanging, and curl was able to download before the browser completed the process.

-While extensions are active at the moment, the error originally occurred while I was running the firefox profiler for several days in test mode. Meaning it was also occurring for several days while no extensions were active.

-The hanging is isolated to the domain that it's occurring on. I can go to other sites while this is going on. Youtube can run during it, and I can load images elsewhere. A speedtest runs at full speed with no ping or latency.

This isn't entirely related to firefox, as i'm fairly certain other browsers are doing it as well atm, though I am interested in knowing if there's any ways within firefox that I can troubleshoot this.

And yes, trying to google this mostly just brings me to programming sites and nothing on the basic user level.

@mozilla @firefox @thunderbird @Waterfox Out of curiosity, and as a feature request, when do you plan upstream Waterfox into Firefox and Betterbird into Thunderbird. The additional customizibility options of Waterfox would be a great addition to Firefox and the bugfixes and improvements made to Betterbird would work great in Thunderbird. When forks of your products make great strides it is a good idea to consider upstreaming these changes for the betterment of all.

Keeping open too many duplicate tabs? Me too. #Firefox Nightly now has an option in the tab overflow menu (that's the down arrow near the top right of the window) to close all duplicate tabs in the window.

For all duplicates, it's the last active tab that'll remain open.

Go reclaim that memory and CPU!

Finally duplicate tab management comes to Firefox natively.

Anyone know why?

why does @firefox have trackers like Adjust in it? that's rubbish from a browser that is supposed to be privacy and user friendly

I love the reader mode, it helps me stay sane, avoiding distractions and being able to use some heavy news sites on my low end devices. I wonder if there's a way to automatically open sites in the reader mode when it's available.

On Mobile (using Mull) the PDFs are completely pixelated and simply dont render more details. Even after zooming in it takes forever.

Meanwhile on Desktop (Librewolf, Firefox, ... on Fedora) it seems a bit slow compared to Okular, but it is very fine.

Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.
