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.

I am on my new computer now, but need to open my old computer for information. However; I forgot the sign in password. Is there any way I can retrieve my old password for my non working older computer.

All of a sudden, I get a "Not enough room to save" error message when I try to download a fill. There is plenty of room on my disk.

Also, it's not giving me the option of just opening the file.

I've been needing to use Edge to download files.

I have been building websites on and off for many years using Notepad++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. During development and maintenance, I heavily use Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition on the computer where I build the sites (both editions are affected). I also have many notes on an offline website.

Recently, the links in these offline websites no longer work in Firefox. They function as usual in Microsoft Edge and the newly installed Vivaldi 7. They also work on an old laptop with an older version of Firefox. I think the issue was introduced in one of the recent updates. Could you please look into this? Otherwise, I cannot use Firefox as an offline browser and the developers add-ons on my laptop anymore.

Kind regards, Martijn de Jong

I sent this message to Mozilla support in Dutch and would like to send an English translation as well.

Do you have a solution for this issue?

I am a Cacti developer and we are considering switching from FontAwesome Web Fonts to Tabler Web Fonts. However, on Firefox for Windows only, we are having a major slowdown when using the Tabler SVG based webfonts. The page load is first stalled by Firefox apparently loading all the Web Fonts, which would appear normal with any browser (though exceedingly slow on Firefox for some reason).

However, once the page is loaded, when going off tab to another browser tab, and then back to the Firefox tab that includes the Tabler webfonts, there is a 3 second delay before the tab switches. When we enable the performance analyzer, we find that the delay is almost 100% Reflow of the page, even though the page is static as this point (no changes) from the last time it was activated.

We do not have this issue on Firefox for Linux, MS Edge or any other Chromium browser, only Firefox on Windows. I'm using the latest version 134. Should I be opening a bug?

I keep getting logged out of the accounts I sign into on websites in Firefox Mobile. I haven't activated any settings to clear cookies or other privacy options, but I still get logged out of many websites. I have to log in again every time I want to use various websites or services. If anyone has any information, please reply. Note: I have only installed the uBlock Origin add-on.

Hi, I'm using FF for year for development and had several problems with cached data in this time. Now, since the last update (automatic update yesterday), Firefox is caching my js for localhost and ignores nearly everything to stop it.

F5 and Ctrl+F5: no effect Enabling "Disable cache" in devtools: no effect changed about:config (no effect): browser.cache.disk.capacity 0 browser.cache.disk.enable false browser.cache.memory.enable false devtools.cache.disabled true

Only going to settings > privacy + security > Clear Data helps. But as you can imagine, that's really bad DX

I tried a FF-addon for clearing css cache, but it's outdated and doesn't work.

Is there anything I can do, to disable cache for localhost?

I don't understand why this aggressive caching problem is ignored for years and gets worse every year! Why are settings like "Disable cache" in devtools so broken? I tested other browsers and have not found the same issues. I don't want to switch browsers! I just want a cache free localhost! FF can cache the sh*t out of every webpage. But please leave localhost out of it!

Even though I have reinstalled Firefox twice, and each time set it as my default browser, every time Iog on to Windows I am presented with a screen asking me to set Firefox as my default browser. It is listed as my default browser in : (1) in the browser itself under Settings, and in (2) Windows Settings / Default Apps. How can I get rid of this reminder screen every time I log into my computer?

I'm working on setting up my new laptop and some process wanted me to restart Firefox (I think it was after removing McCaffee). When it restarted, the windows and tabs from my previous session did not get restored.

I tried the solution here: Lost session (previously open tabs gone) but it doesn't give a complete answer! I found the "working files" as indicated but then the answer doesn't say what to do!

Getting everything from my old computer to this new one is torture enough; this glitch on Firefox is enough to make me want to just trash it or wipe it and go back to Windows 10.

I do not save all attachments to my received email. It used to be that when I received an email with a attachment I could choose to open or download to a particular file. Now my only choice is to download the file which happens automatically as soon as I click on the attachment. I am using Windows 11 and read my email while it remains on the ACENTEC website. That seems to be a good security move. The email never is downloaded into my computer and remains accessible from any of the several computers I use.
