The last few weeks in particular Firefox has bogged down and will not load webpages. I have to close and restart to get it to work at all. I have used Firefox for 20 years as my preferred browser and have never experienced anything like this. I am a MacBook Pro user who is not a google fan so I try to avoid Chrome but have had to use Chrome to get access to things while Firefox is floundering.

Ich verwende Firefox als primären Browser aber nicht als einzigen, weil ich aus technischen und organisatorischen gründen auch andere Browser verwende. Ich hatte vor Monaten schon mal das Problem, dass Firefox beim Öffnen eines neuen Fensters oder auch bei Eingaben in die Such-Zeile = Adress-Zeile immer Yahoo gebracht hat. Ich habe es dann mit viel Recherchieren und Rumprobieren geschafft, dass in beiden Fällen Google kommt, was ich so haben will (Punkt). Jetzt kommt zumindest bei der Suchzeile wieder Yahoo und ich schaffs wieder auf die Schnelle nicht, das zu ändern. Versucht Firefox hier gegen meinen Willen Yahoo nerv-stehlend zu pushen? Wisst ihr, wie ich das aktuell wieder in meinem Sinne repariere? Wisst ihr, wie ich das dauerhaft verhindern kann, dass Firefox immer wieder Aktionen gegen meinen Willen setzt???

Any lead?

Is there a way to reset the Most Visited list? It's not accurate, since it has X and twitter on the list. I stopped using that site over a year ago. If I can't edit the list, is there a way to just get rid of Most Visited?

Synchronizing cloned Mac results in single identity for Firefox sync.

I cloned my 2017 intel iMac onto an M2 Macbook Air. Since one week I use them independently and keep Firefox synchronized. I changed their names in Firefox sync. But under "connected devices" at first there was only one of them, depending on which one I refreshed the open window first. I tried to separate them by logging out and in again, but now both are gone in the list. Nevertheless, syncing works. I hope my Mozilla account won't get garbled up.

After many years of untroubled use, I suddenly cannot connect to any Rapidgator address on either of my computers: • Mac Studio M1 64GB Sequoia v15.6, Firefox v143.0.4 and • Macbook Pro i9 16GB Sonoma v14.7.7, Firefox v143.0.4 though I have no problem loading the same links on the same devices using Safari. Interestingly, I have no problem accessing Rapidgator links using Firefox on my phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max, IOS v18.5).

This is a big headache, as most of my material is archived using Rapidgator and my workflow is built around Firefox. I have quit all other apps, rebooted (many times), disabled extensions, turned off Little Snitch, but I keep getting the same results. Any idea what is causing this?

I've ALL Mac. Desktop, laptop, i-pad, i-phone - oh, and I've got a Lenova for an exercise program that's in the mix. I can't seem to get any syncing done. I see notices that it's happened, but the tabs on none of the devices line up. I also tried syncing with/to/from my iphone. I got you QR Code and had to use the Iphone camera to scan it in. I got a message that I have to do it from within Firefox - but all I can get there is something KROLL. And that's an internet URL/page. I can't find a way to scan the QR code with that app hogging my screen. I've attempted to scroll/dump that tab but when I open up Firefox again...it's still there.

My internet browsing gradually gets slower over time. By the end of a day or a couple of days, it is unusable. The problem isn't bandwidth. A speed test shows that throughput is absolutely normal. It's the browser response to navigation. ie clicking a link, typing a URL into address bar, etc. and having to wait minutes for the page to start loading.

If I quit the browser and re-open, everything goes back to normal.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

I have searched Firefox, my browser, ATT Yahoo mail, and I cannot find the source of this message & how to get rid of it. I realize it is some kind of security app but I haven't been having issues with my email that haven't been addressed quickly. I use security programs that seem to work well, so this added app or whatever it is does not work well for me. PLEASE HOW DO I GET RED OF IT? I will be eternally grateful if you can help me or direct me to someone who can. I have tried CHAT but it won't allow me to paste a picture of this message. I've looked for a support phone number that can help, but I can't find one.

Thank you, Pat Smart spendrift1@prodigy.net
