Many websites that I use regularly, such as Zillow, no longer work correctly in Firefox ESR (115.33.0). The top menu in Zillow disappeared this week. Others work, but all the text is greyed-out. All except the text thing seem related to Javascript features. For instance, check boxes on a Wordpress site that I manage quit working last month. Some, like www.RCgroups.com just sit and spin, and never fully open up.

But they all work fine on an old copy of Chrome (109.0.5414.120), that is no longer supported on Windows 7 and hasn't been updated in probably 3 years.

My only plugin is NoScript, but the problem is the same whether it's turned off or not. And I also use NoScript on Chrome.

I use Win7 for the same reason I use Firefox -- it is safer, far more stable, faster, and it doesn't force updates on me that invariably break things. I appreciate that Mozilla has extended support for the last stable version of Windows. But somebody should look into this growing compatibility issue.

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.

Refreshing, rebooting & clearing cache helps not at all. It does work fine in edge however. It's an issue on your end.

I am using Firefox on Windows 11, in the process of switching from Chrome.

I run Cockpit (https://cockpit-project.org/) on web servers that I manage, and when I log into it on Firefox the screen flickers constantly, making it unusable.

There is no issue with any other web sites I have visited, and I can still use Cockpit when in Chrome. So ay suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with Cockpit and Firefox?

Web site link: https://standingstones.org/viewer.html

When i view on a phone in portrait all is good. Similarly if I rotate to portrait mode it is still good. When I then go back to portrait the scaling gets all screwed up and the page looks very bad. This did not use to happen about 3-4 months ago so it is a recent problem although not sure quite when this broke.

I've attached 3 images, the first showing the incorrect rendering in portrait and the other showing good portrait and landscape.

Thanks, David Hoyle

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Firefox where some websites display a message saying that the internet connection cannot be established and that I am offline, even though I am connected to the internet.

My internet connection is working normally. Other websites load without problems, and the same websites also work correctly in other browsers such as Google Chrome.

However, in Firefox certain sites do not load. For example, YouTube and YouTube Music show an error message indicating that I am offline. I have also noticed this issue on a few other websites.

Because the same pages work normally in other browsers, it seems to be related specifically to Firefox.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this issue or how I can fix it?

Thank you.

I use Firefox on a Mac to access Brightspace for my classes. I also use Grammarly. When copying text from the Grammarly widgets and pasting it into the Brightspace HTML editor, the text is stripped of hard returns, causing paragraphs to collapse without any breaks between them.

I have tried pasting as unformatted text, and the issue persists. This issue does not occur in Chrome, so I suspect it is due to how Firefox handles clipboard data. I have not found a workaround or resolution for this.
