Firefox Community Forum

Why is access to this site being blocked all of a sudden? I have been subscribing to this online newspaper for decades, and now within the last month I cannot load the page because of a security problem. Why is this happening? There is nothing wrong with the site.

If I have taken photos in past years on a particular date, I get an email from Microsoft to review them. I normally do it on my phone, but today tried it from my computer. The path is "One Drive" "Photos" "Moments" and then "On This Day." If you click on the photos that in the graphic that looks like a movie strip, a montage of the photos shows up and you can also click on one. However, in Firefox, I click on a picture and the screen goes gray, but nothing ever loads. I thought it was a Microsoft issue so used their help function. The rep and I tried it, then cleared the cache, then tried it in a private setting. We got the same result every time. Then he tried it whatever Microsoft's browser is called and it worked just fine. They said it was a problem on the Mozilla Firefox end, so I'm reporting it. Please let me know if you can help me make it work. I don't like using anything except Firefox.

I have contacted Microsoft. After testing the link/page loads in Edge, Chome (with and without addins same in ff) and Brave. But does not load in FF (with addon's disabled) nor in Private browsing FF (no addins obviously) they said to reach out to FireFox for support. See below for email exchange: FROM MS (most recent reply):

Thank you for your response. We hope you are doing well. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this issue has caused, especially with the unexpected autoplay of music and the inability to exit the slideshow in Firefox. We completely understand how disruptive this can be, particularly in quiet environments or when you're on the go. Based on your detailed testing across browsers, it does appear that this issue is isolated to Firefox. Since the same content works as expected in Chrome (even with ad blockers enabled), the problem may be related to a recent Firefox. As the issue appears to be specific to Firefox, while the same functionality works as expected in other browsers like Chrome (even with ad blockers enabled). We genuinely want to help resolve this, but since the issue is browser-specific and not reproducible outside of Firefox, we kindly recommend reaching out to the Firefox Support Team for further assistance. They may be able to identify any recent updates, settings, or compatibility concerns that could be affecting the page behavior. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and are grateful for your understanding.

MY EMAIL TO THEM (in response to them saying try in edge private etc): Apparently this is a FIREFOX only issue?

I tried in edge (regular, not private) and it plays the stupid slideshow with music just fine, and I can get out of it and view the regular memory page that I want (Music really!? What if you’re viewing while someone around you is asleep? Or otp in public??? Smh) Chrome – WITH Adblockplus and Ublock Origin ON it works (not in private) > weblink gyazo video of it working with ublock and abp enabled…. https://gyazo.com/2afbdf7e27357a375ca7613b197f17ce Firefox – with adblock plus off, ublock off, and ghostery OFF does not work > weblink gyazo video of it just refreshing grey, black grey black and goes nowhere forever https://gyazo.com/8da9258f36457901df66f99e87fe7560 Firefox – in private browsing (no addons) – does not work > weblink gyazo video of it just refreshing grey, black forever https://gyazo.com/f9119907e5127ede48797d9eacb1fed6 Since attaching a video to an email would be very large.. hope you can click outside links 😉

While using Yahoo news comment editor to enter a comment: the screen will frequently reset with a flash and some of what I was typing will disappear and the cursor goes to default position.

Greetings, On cargurus website for example there are many filters which contain multiple checkboxes each. If I scroll down to a section and select a checkbox, the results refresh and takes me back to the top of the page. The problem is that sometimes I want to select more than one checkbox in a filter or choose checkboxes in the next filter to select a checkbox. When I search for cars I may end up selecting more than 10 filter checkboxes to get the results I want. If I have to scroll back down to where I left off each time, it takes a lot of time to run a query. This jumping to the top does not happen using Chrome, so there must be something in firefox that can be adjusted but I cannot find it. I only used Cargurus as an example, but it happens on all sites with checkboxes. Keep in mind I am not a programmer so I don't know how to add code to websites or firefox settings. Thank you, Mark Sufka

Hi, just to say, sorry, I’m an absolute idiot, I don’t understand tech at all. I have a VPN, privacy badger and ublock origin. These issues continue whether these three things are turned off or not, so I believe it must be to do with my Firefox settings.

Everything was fine, but now all of the sudden, certain elements of pages will not load.

So for example, today I tried to go to Gizmodo and look at a Star Trek page. Cool. https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-day-announcements-include-a-lego-collaboration-and-a-youtube-kids-series-2000655142

This is not the only site, just an example.

Clicked the comment button to see what people are saying. It won’t load the comments. The comments are completely blocked. They don't exist. When I try to look at the comments, it just shows me another part of the webpage, can't even see the comments.

Thought it was just this site, but then today I was on a plastic surgeon site in Europe to make a payment and it wouldn’t load the payment page.

I tried turning off badger and unblock to make the payment, and it didn’t work.

Honestly I really have no idea what the problem is, I know I’m doing something stupid but I don’t know what it is or how to figure out.

Any help on figuring out what’s going on or where the hiccups for these might be would be welcome.

Thank you!

Facebook simply isn't loading in Firefox anymore - it loads in Edge on my PC just fine and on my Mobile Android Browser .

I've tried disabling all extensions, and clearing cache and cookies, but Facebook still refuses to load and returns the message, attached.

How can I get the tabs back that I had open before a Firefox Update? They're not coming up using Restore History. I had a lot of things open that I want to be able to go back to.

Thanks, Bill

I am running Firefox on Windows 10 64-bit, and I have lots of windows and tabs open. Occasionally I will get a message from Windows that I am running low on disk space. Recently I got the message, and I saw on my C-drive" "336,044,032 bytes free". After I did an Exit in Firefox, I saw "10,082,402,304 bytes free". The space that was freed was in the pagefile.sys file. Is this normal?

I'm setting up a new computer, (Windows 11). Currently on a home WIFI network, in UTAH, with another computer, (windows 10). Very soon the new computer will be moving to my retirement home, in Nevada, on a new WIFI network.

Basically, How can I import Firefox bookmarks from another computer that is on the same WIFI network?

My bookmarks do not sync between my Android( Samsung 22 Ultra) and my Desktop( Windows). I show this issue as when I would delete and update bookmarks on my mobile. They did not update on my computer. I have tried signing out on my computer, which wiped out the bookmarks and other saved attributes. Then signing back in. This did not work. My bookmarks menu is bare. Even though in my account I have both my mobile and computer accounts connected. What can I do to fix this?

Some background, the bookmarks and other saved attributes where from chrome, I transferred them over.

Developer edition seems to be blocking Today's Deals when browsing amazon.com. Regular firefox does not do this. Suggestion on what to do to fix it.

Also trying to browse distrowatch give the following: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead.

good day. we have always used mozilla for streaming but since last week it is just buffering. We can watch youtube and netflix on it but dstv is not working anymore
