Firefox Community Forum

So I'm not sure how to search this, I couldn't find anything after trying...so apologies as I'm sure this is covered somewhere. Anyway, when I wake computer from sleep, Firefox is often unresponsive while disk activity is maxed - so I think what's happening is it's storing pages/tabs to disk and reloading them (slowww*) vs just getting them fresh from the web.

If I have diagnosed this right, is there a setting that can be changed to disable this?

(I already tried browser.cache.disk.enable -> false - this had no effect).

Thanks in advance.

• Yes this is an old drive not SSD but for crying out loud I shouldn't have to upgrade hardware for this, in theory at least....

Hello, I am hoping to escape the Apple + Google search world and am trying out Firefox, which I used to use many years ago.

How do I / Can I show my Safari "Favorites" on the homepage of Firefox? A simple, obvious question, but I have not found an answer in your files.

Thank you,

Cynthia Whitehead

When I try to access my bank Firefox waits for 2 minutes performing a TLS handshake with my bank. After this time the issue resolves and I can access my bank. I have not had this issue before. I have tried all the usual resets, eg reboot, delete cookies etc to no avail. This issue has only started in he last few days. I am on win 11 (no recent updates) with AVG Free. I note that FF 130 was installed on 5th Sept.

Any thought on how to clear this problem? Thanks

It seems since the latest update to FireFox (129.0) I am no longer able to pick a search engine to use, I can click on DuckDuckGo or any other choice for a search and no search engine will come up?? Thank You for any help or suggestions.

When using PowerSchool, there are lots of students with addresses listed, in the various forms. Every time we leave the page, if we edited anything, Mozilla asks if we want to save the address. This is verified to be Mozilla when we click on the 3 dots for settings, and it takes us to the Autofill and Save Adresses box that is clearly unchecked.

In the Privacy and Security settings, we have unchecked the boxes for saving and filling addresses, as well as auto-filling form information.

What else do we need to disable to get it to stop asking to save addresses for every single student we need to modify in PowerSchool (and probably for other sites as well)?

I was navigating around on this site, and I got kicked out and received this message.

I am a customer of AA.com and on the site regularly, how do I fix this so I can get back on the site?

no matter what i do, every website is now dark. I want it turned off and it won't. Since this can't be turned off, how do i switch all my bookmarks to another browser? Chrome, yahoo, etc all of those don't have the dark background

Firefox autofill always fills my phone number as +!(xxx)xxx-xxxx, despite most forms not accepting the country code. I have tried to remove it in the saved autofill address, but it keeps putting it back in. This makes the autofill not work. Why can I not disable this!?!?!?!

I have to sign-in to my computer this morning, which normally indicates a Microsoft update ran the previous night.

DuckDuckGo, Chrome, and Edge all seem to be able to pull up website; not so for Firefox.

I redownloaded Firefox - no change. I deleted Firefox, ran CCleaner, and downloaded the software again - no luck.

I cleaned my registry of its orphan files - no luck.

I turned off my VPN - no luck.

So I am forced to use another browser until I can get this fixed.

Suggestions?

Hello, for two months now I've been unable to use Paypal to buy anything on Firefox. Nothing I have done has changed and it's gone from a nuisance to me considering new browsers. I need to be able to pay for things.

I've attached an image to show where it always freezes.

Firefox 129.0 (64bit) - Windows 10 (with current updates)

Sometimes (except when I'm demonstrating the problem of course) a Google search simply hangs. In the search field (next to the shield & lock) the website for the search appears, eg https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+secure+are+android+phones or https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nsw+service+parking+meter+app there is no other response and no activity in bottom left corner of the window.

Simply clearing history (history, cookies, cached files, but not site settings) fixes the problem and the search can then be repeated and new searches done until the next time, when it's a case of rinse & repeat. No other action is required, which would seem to suggest that the problem isn't elsewhere.

This problem affects both my wife's and my PC (same configs), and has for several weeks, sorry can't be more precise as to when it started.

Thanks, Mike
