Firefox Community Forum

A webpage I just closed recently is not listed in the drop down window from History and also Recently closed tabs. In addition sometimes when I click on the Back arrow, it does not go back and when I have right clicked on the Back arrow, it has shown previous webpages.

PS I do have search account with you in English. english please!

In Firefox, recently I am unable to download pdf documents. I get the message "download failed". If I request the same download using Chrome, I get the download immediately. But Firefox is my default browser and it's a nuisance. This only started in the past month or so.

I always shut down my PC (Windows 11) while Firefox is open, and it reopens automatically when I turn it back on. However, the settings and the layout are reset.

I tried closing the browser normally via the Close button, but the issue persists.

I tried killing the process via Task Manager, but the issue persists.

I'm not opted into Firefox Studies.

I use quite a few extensions and also Container Tabs. I tried disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.

I just can't disable Container Tabs to test because I would lose too many tabs. Could Container Tabs be the issue?

I have had trouble for months logging in to Ticketmaster and Office Depot Canada. Now, I can't use Firefox to access Crave, which tells me that my "IP address is outside of North America." I am not using a VPN, so I don't know why Crave thinks that.

Help?

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that my cab fare calculator pages, which use the Bing Maps API, are taking significantly longer to load in Firefox compared to Chrome or Edge. These are the two pages:

https://tanushreecabs.com/cab-fare-calculator

https://amzcabs.in/cab-fare-calculator-in-nagpur

The map sometimes delays or doesn’t load fully unless the page is refreshed. There are no obvious console errors, and we’re not using anything too heavy—just a basic Bing Maps integration to calculate cab fares based on distance.

Is this a known issue with Firefox, or is there any setting or optimization specific to Firefox I should consider for better performance?

Thanks!

Greetings, When I try to sign in to SXM, firefox is now asking for a passkey. I don't have a passkey for this account. I'm unable to get past the passkey window. I called SXM support. They have no answers. Any thoughts? Best, Steve

in FF 137.02 Win11Pro there is no reopen previous session option in the history menu, even though in settings, history, "firefox will" is set to remember history. We tried reinstalling FF. No luck.

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

every single time I attempt to "finish account setup" I click the verify button, enter my email and password, and I get a bad request error.

Every single time

I am on a Mac desktop running Ventura 13.7.3 and running Firefox 135 with extension of Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Google Don't Track Me, Facebook Container, FoxClocks and SoftGreenLeaves theme. All of these extensions have been playing nicely with each other for a long time.

Recently I've been having trouble recently with Firefox doing that thing of suddenly freezing/producing multiple windows and I need to refresh in order to get it working properly again. This has happened three times in the last five days - so frequently that I now keep the refresh instructions on my desktop. Today I heard the CPU grinding and clicked open my Activity Monitor to see four listings of 'FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content' running all of them using in excess of 2Gb. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a screenshot of the Activity Monitor while this was going on as I had the Mac force quite Firefox and the moment I did, the activity stopped, but I've attached an example of the Activity Monitor showing still high CPU values for a few moments of browsing.

So what's up? How can I stop the CPU grab? How can I stop the frequent crashing?

Firefox uses too much memory, with 1 tab 1GB+, and with 4 tabs all 3GB+, this is not normal, the forum topic did not help, reinstalled and did not help, there are no more than 6 extensions, and they consume only 160mb.

I have recently encountered this issue with Youtube where a video playing perfectly normally will just stop at a random point and start loading endlessly. If I skip 5 seconds, it plays again without any issues until it reaches the same problem again. There isn't a pattern to this and I have not made any new changes to cause this issue. Additionally I have tested it on Chrome and Brave and this issue doesn't arise there. Any suggestion for a fix?

To Whom It May Concern:

I was able to login to ChatGPT before January 30, 2025.

I run Firefox on Windows 10. Currently I am using Firefox 135.0 which seems to be creating problems with Authentication Errors with ChatGPT.

Some extensions I had at the time are:

Firefox Multi-Container Tabs BitDefender Traffic Light AdGuard Terms of Service Didn't Read Print Friendly and MeasureIt.

These are all extensions I actually use.

And prior to January 30, 2025, I did not have a problem.

But ever since then I have not been able to login to ChatGPT due to Authentication Errors. I signed up using my email and password and never use anything else to login.

I am not using a VPN.

I cleared my Cache.

I disabled my Extensions.

I tried to login in a Private Window.

I even refreshed Firefox and it still would not work.

I have contacted ChatGPT's support team and they suggested I try a different browser and Chrome worked.

But I don't want to use Google if I can avoid it.

Please help me with this.

Hi. Populating stored credit card data used to be working fine, but has stopped working on my desktop PC several moths ago (at least). When I click on one of the stored credit cards on a payment page, nothing gets populated in the fields. That happens with all stored cards. On my laptop PC that has a fingerprint sensor the populating of credit card data still works, but now I'm being asked for a fingerprint. Before I didn't need to provide my fingerprint to use the stored credit card data. I assume by the different behaviors of the desktop and laptop machines that at some point some "security feature" has been added to Firefox that broke usage of the stored credit card data on my desktop PC. What is that and how can I disable it?

I've noticed recently after system reboots that Firefox forgets the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting and restarts with only a blank tab. I've confirmed that this setting is ticked prior to the reboot. I know I can restore the session under History but why isn't Firefox remembering this setting and re-opening the windows & tabs like previously?

Running Firefox 135.0.1 and Mac Sequoia 15.3 (but has been happening in recent previous versions of both).

I use to be able to integrate my excel calendar and my wife's. Entries were different colors and changes on my computer showed up on my Ipad. Now I have my calendar but I can't find hers. Does she need to make a change on her excel as well?
