on restart/update, all my toolbar extension are large and unchangable, there was a small icons option before this `update` now, i cant change them, the top of the screen used up by toolbar bs i dont need or want in large format. Is this something overlooked and will be fixed shortly today, or is this a `look for another browser` situation ?

I opened BigFishGames today and have suddenly gotten an error message "For the best experience, please enable local storage in your browser settings. Some features are not available when local storage is disabled." I went to the settings and allowed exceptions to all the things (pop-ups, cookies, tracking, etc.). None of that worked.

As I couldn't figure out how to do this I went through your FAQs. Found someone who had the same issue on his MAC and followed the instructions given there by an administrator. That being to go to https://firefox-storage-test.glitch.me/ and run that test. It shows there's nothing wrong. BigFish still shows it's error message.

This is one of my favorite sites and I use it daily. Yesterday I was able to access it just fine, today I can't even get their login script to show up. I haven't had any Firefox updates in several weeks, either. Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you! -Lisa W

This is a continuing problem that showed up on version 127, maybe 128, and continued through 129, and now to 130.0.

Attempts using Firefox to play movies at HD (highest 6GB data resolution) fail. Using, for example, the Edge browser works fine. This problem showed up as noted in the first sentence of this post. Manually changing an obscure "about:config" variable from 1 to 0 did not fix the problem.

I just updated to 130.0, immediately tried to play a movie at highest resolution, it failed. Changed the obscure variable from the value it had, 0, to 1 and it failed still. Changed it back to 0 and it failed.

I was working on strengthening my passwords using firefox as my browser and roboform. I had a us bank site open also at the time. I did not change that user id or password. However, ever since then I am unable to sign in to my us bank site. It brings up the site but as soon as I click to sign in, it greys the screen. I am able to sign in to every other site I have tried on the firefox browser. I am also able to sign in to my us bank site on at least two other browsers without issue. What has happened and how can I fix firefox to allow me to use it? The us bank site is not an app. Thank you.

i have two computers. on computer 1, all is fine. on computer 2, when it restarted after an update, i got the error message -- "the bookmarks and history system will not be functional b/c one of firefox's files is in use by another application, some security software can cause this problem." this has NEVER happened before.

i found the "how to fix this problem" page, but i am completely baffled by it. what i want to know is what security software (i have avast apps) is likely to have caused this problem, and how do i fix it (i.e., what setting should i change?).

thanks for any help you can provide. i am NOT tech-savvy, this is the only time this has happened, and i've had both computers for years. they have both always had the same apps.

Hi guys, Just wanting to know why the Captcha is so hard. I sometimes need to do the captcha 30-40 times. Can't there be a simpler way to do this. it's very frustrating when I google an address that I need to go to but it takes 15 minutes to get through the captcha. I end up closing Firefox & opening Chrome or Edge. Can something be done about this? Also, Captcha is not clear.. When it comes up with "Motorcycles" is the rider included in this? Or "Stairs" is the hand rail included in that? Please change it to make it simpler so I can continue using Firefox. I'm using Windows 10 on a computer.

Thanks guys

This is my crash ID: bp-ff99f648-78ab-4cad-b1f5-7aaa70240902 I've already tried troubleshoot mode, same result. I do have a userContent.css file, but deleting it makes no difference, and I can think of no other major change I've made to my installation.

I would prefer not to have to reinstall Firefox.

Firefox freezes intermittently, and when I examine the situation with Windows' Task Manager, I see a large number of Firefox threads active while I have only two tabs in use, and memory usage running rapidly up to the 50-70% range (I have 16 GB). While I'm not qualified, it seems there may be a memory leak issue. The situation clears itself after a just few or a few tens of seconds, but then may recur within a minute or so. This started a few weeks ago, now happens almost daily and is making Firefox, my preferred browser, somewhat unusable.

My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Windows 10 Pro OS Build 19045.4842 Firefox Version 115? VPN Windscribe Version 2.10.16

Ever sense the last update when I try to log into quicken online or ga lottery online the user login page just siting there with the spinning blue circle and finally times out. This continues to happen even after clearing browser history. I tried to login to those same sites using another browser (Microsoft Edge) and they worked just fine with no issues.
