My computer was slowing down so I opened task manager.

I discovered that Firefox had 40 different things running and was using over a gigabyte of memory. I could not identify what the various things Firefox was running. Or what tab they related to.
It would be useful if Firefox could indicate in tax manager, what is going on and permit me to end task individually rather than shutting down the entire browser.

Meantime, what can I do to keep this from going on?

I have already shut down Firefox several times as well as restarted my computer to no avail.

Also cleared the cache and cookies

Hello. I know how to define a server certificate exception to avoid browser warnings in case of certificate issue with a website (see attachment). However, I'd like to apply that exception for all users with access to my machine using a GPO (for user or local machine). This is also a requirement in my work where many users run Firefox from a server and the face browser warnings all the time (related to self-signed certificates) so it would be great to apply an exception for all users through a GPO specifying the self-signed certificate warning we want Firefox to ignore. Thanks.

I have the current Android Firefox installed, my homepage setting has 'recently visited' UNCHECKED, but the homepage is adding all my recently visited pages! Swipe sideways to show even more of them. This is a privacy issue as well as just a bug. Please fix this urgently.

I've also put this on my review on Play store as I consider it something that needs attention...

I can change my primary password, but I still can't log into Firefox. I log into my Mozilla account, but when I go but when I open a new browser tab in Firefox, It asks for a password and does not accept the password I just changed it to, nor will it accept any old password. PRIMARY PASSWORD SHOULD MEAN PRIMARY PASSWORD

THIS SUCKS, AND I WANT IT FIXED!

YOU SAY GO TO LOG IN SCREEN AND CLICK CHANGE PASSWORD, AND THERE IS NO CHANGE PASSWORD ON LOG IN SCREEN!!!!


VERY DISSASTIFIED WITH YOUR PRODUCT AND LACK OF SUPPORT!!!!

Firefox 134.0.2

Hi!

I was shocked when I recently visited a website of a company that offers IDEs. I've downloaded one of the IDEs a couple of weeks ago and now that I've came back to the website looking for plugins, the website still "knew" which version of the IDE I had downloaded because it gave me warnings about plugins not compatible with my IDE version. Now: My privacy settings in Firefox are "strict", the option "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is checked and I've closed Firefox several times in the meantime. Still, the website has information about my identity.

I would have expected that with these settings something like what I've described wouldn't happen. I must say, I'm quite disappointed. Is there anything else that I can do within Firefox to enhance my privacy?

Plugins that I've installed: CanvasBlocker Cookie Autodelete Decentraleyes Forget Me Not NoScript

Two months ago I tried to send an email on Thunderbird (not using email address logged in here) and I received the popup message below. I did not access the site as given, but just uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird and all worked OK until now, The same thing just happened. My IP said they had not heard of Abusix and that it might be a problem with Thunderbird, hence the reason for de/re installing. Is this threat real or is it a hoax or scam or what. Searching for Abusix all I get are results pointing me to their website.
