Firefox Community Forum

Hi Community,

Whenever I am shopping online on my Macbook (MacOS Sierra 15.7.2) Firefox will begin to freeze and then hang on the checkout page. I notice this happens most often with Shop/Shopify websites. Can someone help? This behavior seemed to begin this year about 6 months ago. I end up having to go Safari and reload my page, find the items again, and then I can check out. So problem is something about Firefox and my machine.

Thank you,

SAnd

Website: https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?i=119810&WINID=1764158938344 (for example) On Safari I see there is a message overlay from the website saying "press the command key to zoom the image". On Firefox, this message is not displayed, and the website is greyed out.

I have looked at all my settings: I can't see anything wrong. Any ideas?

Hi, I have been a user of Firefox on Macs ever since it first appeared as many websites simply did not work with Safari. The latest version of Firefox is causing me a fair amount of grief however. The main Menubar now extends more than two thirds the way across my screen (M4 Macbook air 15") so that menus for the OS are now not visible. I have buttons for, WiFi, Bluetooth, Time Machine, Volume, Battery, Time, Spotlight and Keyboard Maestro, which I use on a regular basis. It works fine on my second monitor but obviously I don't carry that with me when I'm away from home :-) I do not use the Profiles, Tools or Help Menus at all, so is there a way to remove them easily and permanently? This would enable me to see all of my OS control buttons Thank You

HI there,

Glad you folks have included an update to the 'profiles'. However, I'm having trouble with it. I previously created two profiles using 'about:profiles' function. However, only of them has mapped on to the new profiles feature. When I try to add a profile in the new way to do it, I can only create a new one, I can't transfer a pre-existing.

See attachments. One shows the new profile manager with the 'work' profile. The second shows the 'about:profiles' with both 'work' and 'life'. How to I add 'life' to the new profile manager?

latest version of firefox will not let me save a password on a new website, it has always worked before, see image for settings. website is not included in exceptions

I read the FAQ about this feature. I read this about whether the stories are personalized to me:

... When personalization does occur, recommendations rely on a process of story sorting and filtering that happens locally in your personal copy of Firefox.

But there is no place that tells me how to turn this off if I don't want the stories personalized to me, and I do not want them personalized. The algorithms make assumptions about what I want to read and learn. But I want to be free to encounter and learn things that I might not otherwise come across.

How can I avoid being pigeonholed and limited in this way?

It's 2025, and the only way to select an audio output device when using Google Meet seems to be to change the system's default.

Assuming you listen to music during your day, from your PC, this means switching back and forth a few times during the day, just to switch meeting audio output to the headset for calls.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for Google Chrome (or derivatives). You can choose an audio device there in the web application, and it does remember this over sessions. Awesome.

Guess what I am using for Google Meet then. Not Firefox.

I really like Firefox. I do support Firefox. Also financially. But seeing all kinds of efforts into AI, VPN and other stuff I don't use and care about, but having a basic browser feature missing, I really wonder if that's the right decision.

So please, whoever prioritizes stuff: get the basics, the daily features, working smoothly, before venturing off on new hipster stuff. Because if you miss out on the basics of the browser, you might end up with neither an accepted browser, nor any new hipster stuff.

The Firefox browser randomly chops off parts of divs on a local development site using the embla api and vue. On hover the items get rendered again, but disappear when the mouse leaves again. Sometimes only the corners get chopped off, sometimes it's half of a div and sometimes children inside the dom are not being displayed but selectable. According to the inspect element tool, everything should be displayed correctly as it is in chromium and webkit based browsers.

Just updated my Firefox. I had a huge tab group saved, and tons of bookmarks. I've been using firefox for months, I didn't have an account signed in on the browser though. I updated it and it had to restart, and everything was gone when it reopened. I even clicked that it should reopen tabs after restarting, but it just opened to tell me to make a profile. It told me that they just introduced profiles, and it put me on profile 1, which looked brand new. No browsing history whatsoever, no bookmarks, my background that I set is gone, and I cannot find anythign at all. I had over 50 bookmarks, inclyding very imprtant links for a final paper, and I'm genuinely so upset. Multiple of those bookmarks were things for me to go back to read/watch later and I will literally not be able to find them. If anyone has any tips at all, I'd love them. I am so seriously upset right now and I'm just hoping its possible for that to come back.
