I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

My computer is running very slowly on Firefox. It takes forever to load anything on Facebook, or my Bank, or any other site where I want to use Firefox. I have DuckDuckGo for search, and that is really slow, too. So I thought that maybe Firefox needs to be updated. But I don't know where to find the Menu Bar. I am 80 years old and don't know the computer "jargon." By coming here I lost your step-by-step directions about what to do AFTER I find the Menu!

A business website has a page that allows me to see items scanned to their server for the last 90 days. The server hosting this page takes more than 1 minute to begin loading to the browser - the back and forth symbol in the browser.

I timed this event today, and Firefox times out after 1 minute. My work around is to use Chrome with the same webpage and it took more than 4 minutes before images started to arrive.

It would be handy to have the timeout adjustable in the settings tab of Firefox. If I choose to sit on what I know is a very slow website for 5 minutes so be it.

Let me know what adjustments I can make - 400mb internet, 5ghz hard wired to the router. This is the slowest site we ever access.

For the past few days, DDG search has been slow. I'm using Firefox version 146.0.1 on Windows 11. Disabling extensions didn't help, but clearing the cache had an effect: The first search after clearing cache is fast (about 1 second), but subsequent searches are slow (about 15 seconds). I was able to repeat this sequence several times. I also cleared cookies, but that didn't seem to have any effect. DDG Search works fine in a Private window. I'm stumped!

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Bonjour, Depuis 1 semaine à 10 jours, il m'est impossible de naviguer avec Firefox. La lenteur est exécrable. J'ai dû mettre 1 heure à pouvoir afficher cette page, incluant tout ce que vous faites pour décourager les gens de vous écrire. Votre dernière MAJ doit être ratée. Avec Edge, je n'ai pas ce problème. La navigation est fluide. Je vais aussi tester Chrome. Cordialement,

There is a gap between firefox and the frame of the window. There is also a inconsistency at the bottom of the browser where it meets the window. Issue persists in safe-mode and all other firefox channels. Albeit, there is no gap or issue with firefox ESR.

Greetings, I have a problem with Firefox taking too long to load websites after login, while Edge loads websites immediately. It happens every time I lift the laptop lid and login. I have restarted Windows 11 and tested the load times of Firefox and Edge a while ago by going to Google. Edge loaded Google after 5 seconds, while Firefox 3 minutes and 25 seconds. That's long. Sometimes Firefox loads a webpage 10 minutes after login.

What could be the issue here and how do I fix it? I have the following extensions and I'm sure that they do not hinder Firefox.

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?

I find that my desktop browser firefox is very slow or doesn't work at all on a lot of websites like amazon or fortnine.

My internet connection and computer are not the issue: 270Mbps (wired connection) Processor AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16 GB) Storage 3.58 TB of 10.92 TB used System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor (Windows 11)

My old PC and my mobile phone runs these website fine.

Sometimes the website will work for a moment, but stop and just load for ever after I open a new tab or clink a link. My task manager doesn't show any ethernet usage despite the tabs indicating they are trying to load. Refreshing the tabs does nothing and no matter how long I leave them they don't load. All my drivers, OS and programs are up to date. I have disabled my enhanced tracking protection and I don't have any adblockers. I have tried using the CMD "ipconfig -renew" and using ccleaner to clear out my cookies and cache but, nothing seems to have any lasting effect.

I am losing my mind trying to fix this. Why can I not browse the internet on my PC?

Any help on this would be amazing and much appreciated.

Sincerely, Calvin

Hi, I've noticed that web pages load slower recently. As all of the recent updates seem to be about adding AI features to the browser, I can only assume that this is the problem. I have disabled the .ml. settings and saw an improvement in performance, but performance is still degrading over time as new updates release, so I'm guessing that I missed something in the settings.

I'm also concerned about privacy. As these AI features make use of tools that cannot always be run completely locally, it increases vulnerability to provide very little value, if any at all. I would argue that it makes the browser worse rather than better, so that's not worth any level of risk to me.

If these features continue to be expanded then I will look for an alternative browser. I know that it is tough to find browsers which aren't Chromium-based these days, but it's not impossible. Firefox is not the only choice.
