Can't open eBay links via Firefox i.e., "contact seller", "view other items", "visit store". Google Chrome works. Have disabled enhanced tracking on eBay in Firefox. I'm very frustrated. It's been happening for a couple months.

Hello guys, this would be a little awkward. Since I've run into this problem a limited number of times and I can't reproduce it. But it does appear frequently and is very annoying. I had to ask here for advice and help.

The device I use is a MacBook, running the official version of Firefox, and as far as I know this problem has been there for at least half a year. I'm used to keyboard operations, usually I use Cmd+T to create a new tab, then the cursor is focused on the address bar, and I type the URL. Since I'm typing an address that I visit often, maybe I just type the first few letters, the URL gets autocompleted, and then I just hit enter and the page opens in my new tab. But sometimes I hit enter twice (eg not English input method). At this time, I noticed that in addition to the URL I wanted to open, there's an additional tab. This tab was blank, or the page I just visit.

From my personal understanding, I may have performed the above operations to create a new tab or clone a tab at the same time. But I don't think my operations will cause these to happen concurrently.

Below are the extensions that I have installed, in my impression I don't get this bug in Windows, but I don't use Windows a lot. In addition, my MacBook keys may be sticky, or it may be a system problem.

My homepage is Google. When i open it on my desktop (win7) the cursor is automatically in the search bar on that webpage. As i want it to be. My number one function when opening firefox is to search google so that is where i want to start. NOT in the address bar ever.

On my laptop (upgraded to win10) it is in the address bar.

I installed the exact same profile from my desktop to laptop.

I have run it in troubleshoot mode and the issue went away. So i disabled all addons and custom themes but issue still persisted.

I turned off hardware acceleration, no change.

What else could troubleshooting be turning off?

Why does the exact profile work on desktop but not laptop ?

When I update my website, It is unable to make the update public as the message that comes up tells me another website has embedded mine. How do I rectify this problem please?

Whenever I try to add an attachment to my Gmail message it freezes and locks up Firefox and I have to restart Firefox. I can move to another browser and it works just fine so it is a Firefox issue. Also, Firefox is very slow, especially with certain sites like Amazon, Wayfair, etc. It gets slower the longer you use those sites. I cannot even open some sites such as my bank, Navy Federal Credit Union and Etsy. I can open them on a different browser same computer. While I like that Firefox helps with privacy I think I am going to have to move to another browser as I can no longer tolerate these issues. If you have fixes, that would help. I couldn't find any on the Help search.

When I try to drag and drop from the 'lock box' icon to the desktop, I get an anti sign (circle with a diagonal line through it). I don't know why I can't just drag it to my desktop like I did in the past.

I've tried every help article/topic I could find and it still wont work!

HELP!!

Hello,

I have issue in firefox for URL not update. I have describe details scenario in below.

Ref Url: https://new.axilthemes.com/demo/react/blogar/post-list

Step:-1: Visit Mentioned above URL.

Step-2: Change Page from Navbar Page menu and change any one.

Above two step no any issue. Step-3: Follow again Step-1; Step-4: Disturbed URL like this ( https://new.axilthemes.com/demo/react/blogar/post-list1111111) but make sure after URL change do not page refresh. Step-5: Now you can change Page from Navbar Page menu and change any one. Observe Behavior your page changed but URL not refresh and this is only happened only firefox browser.

I can play videos and audios on another browser or files stored on my computer, but just now I cannot on Firefox. I saw the FAQ explanation about Windows 7, but I have been using Firefox for years including just hours ago using Windows 7. Why would this happen right now? Did some new version just get installed? If so, can I return to the prior version and turn off the automatic update?

Thanks, Phil

In the last few versions of Firefox the "Always ask you where to save files" does not work properly. Sometimes it asks, sometimes it automatically downloads. The majority of items I download are in PDF. Some I am asked & put on desktop to move later while some are automatically sent to Downloads folder. In Help, it says to go to Settings > General > Applications to get this to happen but under PDF I have it set to "Always ask". And Firefox is not doing this. Will this be fixed in future versions? There seem to be a lot of people that have this problem, which is basically creating work. I understand it only takes seconds to get them but over the course of time it's not efficient. I've been using Firefox for years & do not always agree with some of the changes but this one is really frustrating because it is not consistent. I only want to be able to have the where to/save as box show up when I attempt to download a PDF. Any other or real suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, JF

I used search f or three different subjects and now they do not go way even when I erased them several times. It is really bothering me.What can I do to get of them?

Open PDF from email for printing. Use system dialog box on iMac to preview document -- its always displayed in large font and only part of document displayed.

This browser is unusable.

hello,

There seems to be an annoying SCROLLING issue with the FACEBOOK.COM web page. It has been around a while (version 104.0 of FF here)

Google says this scrolling issue is in several browsers and is BROWSER CODING ISSUE with java script.........they mentions quik fixes like changing Facebook Font sizes..

Still,

as i gently scroll down facebook.com when logged in.......it will suddently SKIP POSTS and jitter.

THis jitter is very annoying indeed........

TRue, i have some of the FLAGS set in the config of FIREFOX and it could be some issue with those flags.....?

It could also be particular extensions of mine( in no particular order) which may be affecting things.....?

Sadly FF does not seem to offer a ------RESET TO DEFAULTS for "one pass"----- feature...... If it did offer it, users could do testing during that PASS......after which, a user could then 1) Re-start FF once again with his previuos custom settings back intact.

The only web browser i found WITHOUT this Facebook.com skipping issue is the latest OPERA Version:90.0.4480.54......... and i do indeed use the very same extensions on OPERA that i use in FF......... (so "extension issues" is unlikely to be the cause of the facebook skipping)

The questionable extensions of mine could be

1) Scrollanywhere 2) hide-scrollbars 3) and ADD BLOCKERS for youtube and twitch.

but i doubt it

The fact that FF do not seem aware of this facebook "scroll skipping issue" is embarrassing for them.

FB is one of the worlds largest web sites and FF is a "global web browser" so are millions sufferring this issue?

please look into this issue right away and if you discover it's your fault, then please sort this out right away.

i like millions of others wont use FF until this facebook issue is fixed.

Vince.

Can you fix FF hanging on 1 core, sending to 100% and freezing Firefox. I mean people have only been complaining about it for over a DECADE !!!!!!!!! People are dropping FF in droves. Stop with the releases and just fix it already.... It used to be the best now its like 6th and falling.......

I'm getting warning emails (2 so far) that windows 8.1 will no longer be supported after I think the end of this year and that I should buy windows 11. Since I use firefox exclusively, does this warning affect me? I'm not very computer savvy and am not sure what is the relationship mozilla firefox to windows (I think it's microsoft windows). I guess this computer has windows 8.1 but I'm not sure. Also, awhile back, microsoft edge showed up on my laptop but I've never even opened it, not even sure what it is. Not sure exactly when but I bought this Asus laptop but it's been several years. Thank you very much for any instruction and/or advice you may be able to give me. Randy Boone.

Firefox for Windows hangs when I copy text, either by Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C or by using a right-click menu. The browser just stops responding. It doesn't crash. Eventually, it will return and behave normally.

I tried removing all extensions and closing all open tabs. No change. I'm out of ideas. I suspect it may be trying to synchronize with something it can't find or there's network latency. Task Manager shows it's using a lot of resources. It doesn't do it every time, just often enough to be frustrating.
