This started a few weeks ago for no obvious reason.
Eventually I upgraded to 107.0.1 (Win 10/32 bit) and it still

Is anyone else using firefox with windows and having 'issues' ?.

Using FF 108.0.1 which is the latest version I believe. Not had any
problems either now or in the recent past. What bugs me about FF is
the avalanche of upgrades that have been coming through in recent
months. Barely finished installing one and another comes along!

They take seconds to install, and they keep you safe, so why hate them?

Yeah. Ive set my linux machines to auto upgrade, which happens in
background generally at night.
Firefox is always telling me 'to use the latest version, please restart
firefox'
Only issue Ive noticed is that on you tube, when a video is finished, if
you click on another one the last frame of the old one is displayed for
a split second.
And there's a memory leak I think. After a day or so it fucks up on the
laptop and slows to a crawl.

See what the failure reports say, under each "dot".

*******

Windows has a memory tester available. "Windows Memory Diagnostic"
You may have to use the application launcher and type that into the search.

The scary part is, it actually works. I wasn't expecting miracles
when I tried it, but it actually found something. Using memtest, I
was not able to determine which stick was bad. In memtest, only
the four-stick case was throwing errors. But "Windows Memory Diagnostic"
was the first thing to report an error, and it took more work to
finally determine all four sticks would get turfed. (If it won't
throw an error when each one of the four sticks are installed
individually, there's not much you can do.)

This was on a board, where it looked like the Intel Northbridge (X48)
was bugged, and it needed a slight bit more Vnb to work properly.
And it's not like I was overclocking or anything, either. Fairly
modest setup and settings.

I've had problems for a couple of weeks with Pale Moon stalling. May be
related as Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox/Mozilla.
Seems to have cleared now.
There was an update recently - version 31.4.2 (64bit)

I have had semi regular bouts of this with Ubuntu, often thought of
giving up on it. It always sorts itself eventually.

Is it always at a certain point? I had this with an allied bit of software,
Waterfox classic.08, downgrading to 07 again fixed it. If you feel the
problem may well be due to an update, you can disable auto updating and over
install the previous version.

They are getting ready for another annoying major change I expect. I'm told
Screenreaders after this have to only access the content via Mozilla links
and no linking into the software via special points will be allowed for
security. Fine as long as the vendors get the interface correct and we don't
need access to something they forgot about of course.
This same issue affects Firefox Add ons too, so goodness knows what cock
ups will ensue. People are suggesting I get the Brave browser, but why
should we?

No they do not keep you save if they muck up the reliability and I've used
some really old Firefox versions with the only issue that the web site stops
me accessing it with an old browser. I feel paranoia at work.

Because for every fix something breaks. I now have a few sites which
recently firefox no longer likes but Edge (spit) has no problems with!

That was shown as the current version when I upgraded but
it only installed up to 107.0.1

No, I'm not running Firefox and I'm not running what I'm not running on
Windows, and so I am having no 'issues'.

Quite a few web 'designers' are apparently unaware that there are such
things as standards. If the site and the browser both comply with them,
there are few problems. If web pages are tested with only one browser,
then problems with others must be expected.

Web designers now are mostly working beyond their level of competence,
and expecting their favourite web design program to fill in the gap.

No crashes. Lots of revisions recently. Current version 108.0.1 (32 bit)
W7

I could do without the constant (accept/reject cookies) messaging but I
guess that is down to my settings.

We discussed the failure to print some attachments elsewhere.

Indeed. I spent ages writing a program to run with Firefox. It
spectacularly fails on Edge.
The problem is the stuff you need to do really interactive javaScript or
advanced CSS is simply not standardised or if it is, it breaks in
different ways

That add-on has recently been purchased by Avast, but so far I've not noticed
any changes

But if a page/site has been working for over a year in Firefox and other
browsers and stops working at exactly at the same time (within a few
minutes) as a Firefox upgrade who is not following standards?

After many years of using Firefox I'm now seriously considering dropping
it - too many untested upgrades!

Stick to pure HTML5 and you'll be OK. And throw the jquery shite in the bin.

You ask that as a very rhetorical question, but sadly I have done enough
web design to know that there are no standards, there are only browsers
and javaScript implementations, and no two browsers respond the same.

People who have coded workarounds for bugs and inconsistencies, suddenly
find the code no longer works.

Such standards as there are are about a decade behind where browser
development is at.
