Firefox Community Forum

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.youtube.com to https://accounts.google.com.

Suspicious data:

Error: Timeout! DOS attack attempt?,(URL) https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=youtube&uilel=3&passive=true&continue=https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_handle_signin=true&app=desktop&hl=en&next=%2Fsignin_passive&feature=passive&hl=en

My bookmarks have disappeared from view, even though I have I recently got this note at the top of Firefox: "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

On clicking on the "Manage bookmarks" link, I'm taken to a page with several fields, including "Location". I can not get any of the selections to work.

I did not ask for this change. I just want to be able to view my bookmarks. Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

Firefox 147.0.4 on macOS 26.3 does not work via SOCKS proxy.

Firefox 147.0.4 on Windows 11 x64 works fine via the same intranet SOCKS proxy, with exactly the same settings.

The advantage of Firefox is its flexibility. It supports its own SOCKS proxy settings, independent of systems-wide ones. Unfortunately, it seems this Firefox feature is broken on macOS (but Windows version works perfectly).

Safari 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6) and DuckDuckGo 1.177.0 (625) web-browsers that use system-wide macOS SOCKS proxy settings also works fine with this intranet proxy server. So it seems SOCKS proxy server itself is OK, and the problem is confined to Firefox on macOS.

Has anyone seen Firefox 147 on macOS work via SOCKS proxy? Is there a principal difference between how Firefox handles SOCKS proxy on macOS vs. Windows? What might be the best way to address the problem on macOS?

Thanks!

I am only able to shut off these new tones Firefox makes in Windows 11 Volume control center by muting Firefox. Then if I do, I am forced to return to that button to unmute if I want to listen to a YouTube video etc.

I've never had this issue with Firefox until 2026. I'd like to find a setting within the Firefox Settings, but there is nothing. No other browser does this. Only Firefix.

It's annoying. I'm going to have to start putting Firefox aside and stop using it. It's too much of a nuisance.

Firefox has no customer support. Only a Community Forum. So, I don't think they'll miss me.

After the most recent upgrades (both MacOS to 26.4 beta and Firefox 147.0.4), Firefox is giving me this message: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. Any suggestions?

Please help me on this to fix the issue

I have an issue where the following operations with the "new" profile manager don't work: - setting up a new profile (about:newprofile in the new profile is just blank) (a new profile gets created though) - deleting a profile (about:newprofile is just blank) - editing any profile that is not the original profile (about:editprofile is just blank) (works with the original profile) - the select profile interface from the account or menu button is blank when opening it from any profile that is not the original profile

What works tho is calling about:profilemanager from any profile. From there any profile can be selected and switched to.

I'm using the Bazzite (Linux distro that is Fedora based). I'm fairly new to Linux so that could be a issue, the problem was there from the get-go though and since Firefox was preinstalled I don't believe I could've messed up much.

Firefox version is 147.0.4 Bazzite version is 43.20260211.0 (Kinoite)

Reboot doesn't fix these issues. Uninstalled Firefox with deleting user data, installed it again and same behavior appears again.

I also tried installing a Firefox fork (Waterfox). It had the same issues.

I would appreciate any help and would be willing to share more detailed date if it helps somebody help me.

The attached screenshots mostly show the UI that is not working as expected.

As long as my computer doesn't go to sleep Im fine. If it does, when i open firefox, i must refresh to be able to find my bookmarks and passwords. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Micha

Noticed the bookmarks error message at the top of the browser page then looked to find they were gone, no troubleshooting methods have worked and I don't seem to have any backup files. Bookmark manager is blank and there are no selectable options?
