Firefox Community Forum

Just recently when logged onto Hotcopper.com.au have been getting a message that reads "This page is slowing Firefox down. To speed up this browser, stop this page." There is a STOP button, that helps for a moment or two only. When I open the program with MS Edge, the problem does nor occur. I was going to remove the Firefox App but saw the repair option. Repairing did not stop the problem. Any suggestions? John I have a near new Acer laptop running Win 11.

Would appreciate your help in advising how I can re-instate my Protonmail login as it just doesn't seem to want to let me access the site at all - it just tries to access and then keeps coming up with 'oops something went wrong'. It's like there is a block on letting me access? This has only just happened since doing firefox updates.

Cheers

The new built in VPN is not showing up on my laptop browser. I have version 150 so it should be on there if I'm not mistaken. I can not find any way to get it to show up. It has shown up on my work computer so I know what it looks like and how to activate it when I see it.

Ctrl + scroll used to zoom exactly 10% (in or out) now with 1 scroll, the page gets zoomed in at least 30% but it's not consistent. right now, I tried CTRL+scroll up and the zoom went up to %133. I'd appreciate your assistance.

ps, IDK if it's related but I just updated Firefox to version 150.0

Thank you

Issue: Rapidly scrolling up or down often creates an unintended blank space (margin) at the top or bottom of the tab list.

Symptom: When this gap appears, the mouse cursor's focus becomes misaligned with the actual tab selection point by the height of that gap.

Behavior: Scrolling back toward the gap usually forces it to disappear, which also restores the correct alignment between the cursor and the selection point.

Reproducibility: The exact trigger is inconsistent. While it happens most often during fast scrolling, it sometimes occurs during slow scrolls as well. The frequency is unpredictable—sometimes occurring every time, and other times once in five attempts.

My Hoepage is set to Firefox. In the center of that page is a Search box which I used always. Now when I try to type in it, my cursor shoots up to the top to the ADDRESS bar. I do NOT want to SEARCH from the address bar. I want to search in the Firefox search box. I also have Duckduckgo set up in that search bar. After the last 2 Firefox updates, I can no longer type my search in that box, but can ONLY search in the ADDRESS bar. Please help be restore the use of the Firefox Search box.

OS: Linux Recently, firefox has been annoying me with not closing a tab when I click the X like normal. I have to right click and close it, or press ctrl w. I am unable to move tabs around, as well. I am not sure since when this next bit has been happening, but I am also unable to interact with many elements of the top bar. The only thing of the firefox ui besides the websites themselves that let me interact with them at the moment is the home button, the new tab button, bookmarked sites, and that box icon on the left corner that lets you look at previously closed tabs. My Firefox's version should around, I believe it is 140.5.0 ESR. Thank you in advance. Update: Upon a restart of firefox, it appears to be working again as normal.. However, the bit with tabs not closing when the X is clicked and not being able to move tabs around has been happening multiple previous times, and it may come back. Update again: The issue does come back after some usage. I'm using KDE plasma with Wayland. I will try what the answer asked, and come back later. Update: This seems to happen very randomly and is not reproducible for me.. It will go a few days being fine, then randomly freeze again. Has not happened under another user, at least not yet.

Do you have a real person, not a AI, programme, or any else? I want to talk to a live person. This programme I am currently trying to deal with is NO HELP

How do I get the Block Element feature back on this machine?

the Internet is getting harder to use with each update any programme adds.

I have Windows 7. I do not like any of the later versions. They do not work as well as Windows 7.

Please tell me how to contact a REAL LIVE PERSON WITH A FUNCTIONING BRAIN.

In the past, I was able to freehand highlight PDFs that did not recognize the Text. I was using this function this week; maybe the newest Firefox update is at fault. Without this, half of my documents are not really usable in Firefox. Everything else works. If it recognizes the text, I have no problems; the pencil tool also works just fine.

When I first install an extension, there is an option to pin that extension icon to the Firefox taskbar. But if I later unpin it, then I can never repin it back to the taskbar. In older editions of Firefox, long ago, there were ships wheel icons next to the extensions in the extension list. There was choice to "pin to the taskbar", but now there are no ship's wheel icons in the list. And therefore no way to repin the extension to the taskbar. Therefore, once I unpin an extension icon from the taskbar, I have no way to pin it back up there.
