Well, I haven't installed any new extensions recently, so I'm just going to assume I'm on the wrong side of some A/B test

I have a similar, possibly related issue. I've recently migrated from Chrome where I used to be able to do something like this:

I can't reproduce the thing you're having happen, but something with media playback must have been changed recently. The 106.0.4 version was a hotfix to solve crashes with video playback for some people. nexus6 posted:I have a similar, possibly related issue.

I think my slowness issue was because ublock origin was blocking https://www.gstatic.com/youtube/img/lottie/animated_like_icon/animated_like_icon_v2_light.json It tried to read it hunderds of thousands of times

Is there something like ClearURLs for Firefox on Android?

Kheldarn posted:Is there something like ClearURLs for Firefox on Android? I don't think so. However, you could enable the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list in uBlock Origin. When you visit a URL, it will remove the tracking links. You can then copy/paste that URL into wherever you need. The downside is that it doesn't re-write URLs on the page; it only strips the URL only when you actually visit it.

I have the Firefox flavor of that very extension installed in Mull using this trick, though from another collection (16201230, What-I-want-on-Fenix). It should work on regular Firefox by now, I think? I've had no problems with any of it.

Is there a way to remove this "Search with Google" thing that shows up when you click on (but not type in) the address bar? I did a refresh of Firefox because I've had some problems in the past few days with random pages failing to load (which then instantly load in Edge) so I have to get some of my custom settings back. I don't remember this being there before but maybe I'd just gotten used to it? I've turned off "Search engines" for address bar suggestions but that didn't do it. The refresh didn't work either... nor simply disabling uBlock. Anyone else having issues loading sites? Sometimes ctrl-f5 fixes it, or closing and re-opening the browser.

Try one of these about:config settings: browser.search.suggest.enabled browser.urlbar.suggest.engines browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst browser.urlbar.update1.interventions browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips

Those didn't work unfortunately. It's not a big deal so I suppose I can live with it. I guess if this issue I've been having with slowdowns / broken sites doesn't resolve in a bit I might consider migrating to Edge or something else though. I have to assume it's related to the 107 release, the timing seems to line up.

Also try making the search box separate from the URL bar, I think that might affect it too.

Those didn't work either. But! I actually figured it out just now. I only managed to get rid of it if I unchecked "Shortcuts" for address bar suggestions (but I didn't cause I wanted to keep the rest). So I opened Firefox Home in a new tab (I usually never see this page cause I have new tabs set to blank), which shows you the shortcuts, and you can right-click and dismiss or unpin any of them. I also see now there's a "Sponsored shortcuts" option to uncheck in Settings which might have done it? Maybe. Thanks for the help in any case, happy to see it gone.

Man, I'm really being punished for using Other Bookmarks to track stuff I want to go back to (and never do  ). Seems like every time I install FF and sync it adds some other weird bullshit to it. Now I've got this weird Unfiled folder it's adding automatically on a fresh sync. I also have several copies of my bookmarks toolbar hanging out in there. What bizarre behavior. Any ideas on how I could get this properly set up to stop making these weird recursive folders? Edit: I just went for it and started deleting stuff, seems to have sorted it out. No more crashing when I interact with it, either. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Nov 22, 2022 |

Sort of Firefox-related, since it is Thunderbird: For the past two updates, I've noticed a "Subscription Summary" folder that is being auto-generated on my Thunderbird accounts. I don't know if it is a Gmail or Thunderbird thing, but I can't delete the folder without it coming back after a Thunderbird restart. Anyone else notice it? I haven't found any information on it, since "subscription summary" are apparently way too generic of terms to search for or something?

What in the hell is going on with Firefox right now? Is there a gigantic memory leak in the newest update? Because every single page I open is now telling me that "the page is slowing down Firefox" including pages made of nothing but text and like a dozen 30x30 pixel images, such as pages from these fabulous dead gay forums. Already rebooted my PC and all that stuff. I just now closed a single youtube tab and my task manager showed 5 GB of RAM cleared immediately. It was a 2 minute video. I middle clicked open about 5 youtube tabs and before my PC's RAM maxed out and the browser would no longer function. Just sitting here watching task manager and RAM is going nuts. Firefox is the only thing open. It will spike up 5-6 GB for a minute or two then empty out right back to where it was before that. Mozilla must be trying even harder to kill the browser than they usually do. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Nov 30, 2022 |

Google sites and multiple other unrelated forums are doing it as well. The browser itself is the most likely common variable.

How many and which extensions are you using? Canvasblocker for instance can absolutely murder performance anywhere a lot of canvas calls or webgl is being used.

Seems like a Youtube thing. Anything that has a Youtube video embed takes a poo poo. Youtube itself loads up inconsistently. Sometimes works fine and other times freezes.

Use about :profiles or firefox.exe -P to get the profile manager & test out a clean profile. If you have no problems with a clean profile, it's time to check your extensions followed by anything in about :config edit: oh actually a YT video does take 3GB of ram, nevermind. Hadn't noticed. Looks like youtube is doing something fucky edit 2: hmm, it doesn't happen every time. just quit firefox, reopened, loaded a YT vid, and it didn't blow up the memory.

I haven't noticed the youtube thing myself yet, but my partner happens to be a browser QA guy (for Vivaldi, though), so I quickly talked to him. The obvious question is which video codec youtube is pushing when it fails - they keep changing what they send, and may have started pushing AV1 to more people. Video decoders are exactly the sort of thing that can eat performance and memory, and crash both the browser and drivers if you suddenly start exercising not-quite-solid hardware decoding, so it certainly sounds plausible. On desktop, you can look at the "stats for nerds" to see the codec used - so if you have some videos that work and some that fail, you could check if they use different codecs?
