Firefox Community Forum

When I try and connect to a site with firefox I get a message saying "Check that Firefox hass permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall) How can I get check to see if I am behind the firewall and if so how can I get out to connect to that specific site.

The system asks me to sign in using my passkey or to try another way. The screen is frozen - can't enter passkey, can't choose another way. The only way out is to close firefox. I have no problem signing in with a different browser (Safari).

With reference to this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1439281: from 2024

The answer was this: Disable "Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address" in "Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Passwords".

But I already have this setting disabled. The popup still comes up. (BTW it's in "Preferences -> Privacy & Secutiry ->Passwords". The popup still comes up.

NO ONE IS WATCHING ME! I'm at home! (Except for that guy who sees what I do in bed /s)

After an hour or two of use, Firefox keeps freezing. I'm on a new macbook pro (sequoia 15.7.2.) I have removed and re-installed newly downloaded versions of firefox three times now: same issue. At the Apple store they can find no fault.

It just froze again so I had to restart it. The activity monitor (see screenshot attached) said Firefox was taking up 26.9GB - it always does this when it freezes.

How can I fix this?

I am running MacOSX 11.6.8 and have just recently had my Firefox browser update to version 146.0 and it now has a problem with content playback: whether on video or usic, YouTube or Tidal or any other streaming service, whenever playing back content it stops at 2 minutes and 8 seconds, displays the buffering wheel, and doesnt come back on its own. If I hit pause and then hit play again, it starts playing again fine. But then after 2 minutes and 8 seconds it stops again and I have to restart it again. And again. And again every 2 minutes and 8 seconds. This is a very odd problem, is anyone else experiencing this? It is very annoying.

Hi,

Any suggestions for Firefox being really slow? Slow loading webpages. This has been going on for about a month. Maybe longer. I have the same issue in Troubleshoooting mode. Firefox is updated. Cleared cache and cookies. Rebooted. On a Mac laptop.

I keep using Safari and I'm about to more over permanently.

Thanks!

Hello, for quite some time I have been encountering an issue where the scaling of browser elements gets broken when I unplug my Mac from its dock/external display and then being using Firefox using the built in Retina display. This only impacts Firefox and renders Firefox completely useless until I quite Firefox and reopen it. It impacts all open Firefox windows. The attached screenshot explains it better.

Firefox 146.0 (aarch64) MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 macOS 15.5 (24F74)

Any ideas?

I'm trying to use an old Apple Powerbook as my 2015 MacBook Pro just died. I use Firefox as my browser on my PowerBook, and it is asking me to enter my old phone number and is not accepting my new phone number.
