Using desktop 141.0, noticed issue of the hand pointer either not appearing, or appearing for less than a second and disappearing when hovering over buttons/urls/etc elements. Sometimes it stops being buggy for a minute or so and then goes back. I can't figure out the exact cause for this, but maybe going outside of the window of the browser ? Consistent in the safe mode, on different websites. See the gif for the visual

Firefox has just introduced wallpapers for browser home page. I cannot get it to work. It's either cropped too small or pixilated, is there a setting I need to adjust, or a particular image format? So that it looks ok.

Firefox 141.0 update has made everything move very slow. Pages will only partially load then take several seconds to completely fill out. If you click on something, the little dot on the browser tab will be gray for several seconds and then eventually turn blue and open the page. It's like it's having to think a little bit before opening the page. Everything just seems delayed.

Emergency!!! I just arrived home from a trip, and on my primary pc, I had saved say 50 tabs over a number of years. I was/am interested in syncing, but I had taken no known actionable steps to do so - but when I arrived home, my primary pc did not open the previous session. I lost everything. Spent hours trying to recover the previous session. Then, I simply decided to go back seven days and restore those tabs. Eight Hundred(!!!!!) tabs were restored, from what appears to be from each of my computers. I am now deleting the 750 unnecessary & repetitive tabs (again, on my primary computer), I am now *scared to death* to boot any of my other computers and have all of my history wiped again. WTF!!!??? Thank you very much!!!

Firefox has started redirecting to advertising pages after clicking on a link. Only on 1 site. The site loads but not quite correctly. Normally has information about movie ratings show up when you hover over pictures. Have to double click (double load) to get where you want. Does not do it with Edge. Used to work fine, just started.

Hello, I'm not sure which genius decided it would be a good idea to have the latest update (141.0) automatically change the Firefox settings to 'clear history when Firefox closes' but that is what happened on both my computers... I obviously didn't notice just lost years of research history as well as all my tab groups. No information in session history at all (before today). Nothing at all in session restore. Is there ANYTHING that can be done to restore my history? Genuine suggestions appreciated.

I can see all my bookmarks, passwords, history etc. on mobile but this Sync feature refuses to import the bookmarks to my desktop browser. What is causing this? I have Synced then Unsynced dozens of times with the bookmark option on and off, signed in and out several times, reinstalled Firefox several times. There has to be a way that I can just get my bookmarks onto my desktop. It cannot be this complicated.

When trying to sign in to Lastpass. I get a notice to "Set your permissions to strictly necessary " but there doesn't seem to be a way to save that choice and it always reverts to "Voluntary data collection" thereby making it impossible to use Lastpass. I can use the extension on other browsers and even on Firefox Nightly. Any help would be appreciated.

Starting today when using firefox browser my cursor has started to flicker between the pointer and the hand erratically. There is also a delay when trying to type anything in a text box, search bar or browser address bar which is making it hard to operate. I have refreshed, restarted and also reinstalled firefox a fresh and still no luck. It's specific to my wacom pen that i use. I have been using firefox for decades and don't want to change to another browser - but if i cant solve this I might have to.

I also reinstalled wacom drivers, disabled the hardware performance setting in firefox, cleared cache, updated any of my windows drivers that needed it. And now am at a loss. any ideas?

Previously, the shortcuts displayed on new tabs quite sensibly displayed the sites that I accessed the most from new tabs. The list was fairly stable, since I'm only normally accessing a few sites this way.

Today, the behavior of these shortcuts changed significantly, showing sites I visit much less frequently, and the shortcuts that are displayed also change frequently, instead of remaining stable as they did previously. I'm currently on version 141.0, but it's possible this behavior changed in an earlier version and I didn't notice until now.

Is there a way to revert to the previous behavior?

As the title says. Youtube pages consume me a lot of CPU (about 15% of usage when normally is less than 1%) and, when opened it keeps using more and more memoy (on task manager i arrived to 44.000MB for a total of 100% on memory) I already tried to refresh it instead of unistalling and the issue wasn't solved. I'm not sure but it seems that there is no memory leak in Troubleshoot mode.

I made the mistake to following Mozilla's advice on why my tabs stopped coming back after I closed out, despite the fact that I had that selected in my settings. Now I'm stuck with an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop and I can't remove it because I need administrator privileges -- but it's my personal PC. WTF
