Firefox

I'm running the Ubuntu snap version of Firefox and recently I've had a problem where the more files I download the more sluggish downloads become. When I download a file now, even a few KB, Firefox becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, including video in other windows freezing. For longer downloads, Firefox is unresponsive the entire time. During downloads Firefox uses 1 core 100% in htop and about:performance shows "Firefox" using 100%

Clearing all data in settings doesn't help

Clearing the list of downloaded files doesn't help.

Deleting the profile fixes it, but the problem comes back as I download files.

I have a policies.json file that sets some privacy related settings and installs 3 addons ([email protected], [email protected], @testpilot-containers).

I also have a hosts file that blocks all mozilla domains (except addons.mozilla.org)

I have a fast CPU, tons of ram and a nvme drive.

I'm not really sure how to debug this?

URL is https://www.ebay.com/str/theartofserver

Is there an addon to defeat this right-click disable method ?

thanks !

Here is a quote:

2024:

• 2024 is the best year for Firefox
• Opportunity to contribute to Multi-Account Containers extension

I used them when they were released a while ago for the nightly version of Firefox, and actually in the stable channel we are in Firefox 130 and still no vertical tabs, does anyone know an aproximate version when they will be available for the stable channel?

Pretty interesting analysis from TechAltar about Mozilla usage and revenue trends, which aren't as dire as they're often made out to be, but how the search placement deal with Google is indeed endangered, which may be pushing them to their recent embrace of adtech as a new revenue source

Anyone know how? A bug that caused the issue that I can follow along with? It also randomly reset the name and icon in Niagara Launcher.

I know I can press right but I'm just wondering if it can be done by default.

I am unsure if this happened with the new update or if I noticed it only now, but I cannot add any tags while bookmarking a page from the star icon in the address bar. The whole 'tags' field as shown in the image is completely absent now when bookmarking in that way.

The only way to add/edit tags seems to be through the bookmark manager.

Is this a new feature or I simply realized it now?

Edit: if it's not a new feature, does anyone by any chance remember which version of Firefox last had that tags field?

Whether you just downloaded Firefox, or you’ve been with us since the beginning, you are a vital part of helping us make the internet a better place. Here's a sneak peak at what's coming next!

I deliberately set keywords.enabled to false so that misspelled urls don't end up at google, but now I just noticed that it's enabled again.

Is this a setting that gets reset over updates?

Can any devs comment?
