Firefox Support Forum

I started having new tab crashes a couple of weeks ago on Firefox and Brave browsers. I have looked in the extensions settings and do not have any added extensions so that did not cause the problem. I also run Norton antivirus and Norton Ultimate utilities software and regularly clean out files and scan my computer for malware. Not sure if Ultimate Utilities is the problem since I have had other problems in the past with that program. Also, I wonder if Windows updates caused this problem? This has also caused problems in the past. To get around this problem I have to copy the link then right click on my mouse and open a new window the paste the link. Very annoying and time consuming. How do I fix the continual tabs crashing problem?

Hello Mozilla Support,

I am encountering display issues with my WordPress website, which is dedicated to a fan-made game called Pokémon Infinite Fusion. The site appears to load correctly on other browsers like Chrome and Edge, but certain elements are not displaying properly on Firefox.

Website Details:

   Main URL: Pokémon Infinite Fusion
   Specific Pages with Issues:
       Pokémon Infinite Fusion Sprite Installer
       Pokémon Infinite Fusion Calculator

What I Tried:

   CSS and JavaScript Debugging: Checked and validated CSS and JavaScript for compatibility issues.
   Browser Cache Clearing: Cleared the cache and cookies in Firefox to ensure it wasn’t a caching issue.
   Add-ons Disabled: Ran Firefox in Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled to see if any extensions were causing the issue.
   Responsive Design Mode: Used Firefox's Responsive Design Mode to check how the site renders on different screen sizes.
   Error Console: Reviewed the Error Console in Firefox to identify any specific errors or warnings.

What I Expected:

I expected that the website would display consistently across all browsers, including Firefox.

What Actually Happened:

Despite my efforts, certain elements on the site, such as images and interactive features, still do not display correctly on Firefox. These issues are not present on other browsers, which suggests a compatibility problem specific to Firefox.

Questions:

   Are there any known compatibility issues between Firefox and certain WordPress themes or plugins that might cause this problem?
   Could there be specific CSS or JavaScript practices that work in other browsers but not in Firefox?
   Are there additional tools or techniques in Firefox that I can use to diagnose and fix these display issues?

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to resolve these display issues. Ensuring a consistent user experience across all browsers is important for my website.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards, Saimhbx

Firefox crashes. I tried to enable safe mode in the browser and there were also crashes. browser updated to latest version bp-a4cfcddb-2647-4541-98b0-912f70240605 bp-d2d0e21d-ec26-4fb4-9bd0-2d97e0240605 The browser crashed 15 times in a day, I’m already tired

i formatted my computer, and used last session .Json files to restore my tabs from before. this allowed me to have my tabs. but even weeks after reinstalling, Firefox does something uncharacteristic. it opens with one window with one tab. then after a second or two, it closes. and then reopens with all the tabs. I would consider a re-install but i don't want to lose the tabs again, and i have 2 computers with different tab sessions (different users on the reformatted one as its a family computer)

its functional but annoying. What can i do?

i would include screenshots but you can't really screen grab a PROCESS, so that doesn't help here.

i am running windows 10.

Greetings, every so often I'm having an issue loading pages for certain sites that aren't sketchy at all. The most recent one is TireRack.com. I'm shopping for tires for my car and Firefox is loading all the other sites I've visited but it won't load any page from TireRack. They are a legitimate shopping site. It happens from results of a Google search but I've also tried typing the main page of the site's address into the address bar, clicking various other links that display below the actual search result that go to other pages within the site, etc. The site loads fine in both Chrome and Edge. This happens every so often and it's always a legitimate site and the exact same behavior. I can't recall any other specific sites at the moment but it's enough to have me pretty irritated today as when I'm shopping I like to have multiple tabs open with all my options for comparison and price considerations and today I have to have one of them open in a different browser which makes it much more difficult to keep tabs on especially where I'm used to only having one browser open for all instead of having to remember that one of my options is open in another browser. I have glanced through my browser setting as well as my windows security settings but I could spend hours in there trying to figure out things and potentially breaking other things myself, which I don't like doing. Any suggestions or other info on what could be going on will be much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I have just started to encounter Tab Crash errors in FireFox. FireFox usually loads with no problems and runs OK for several minutes, with several Tabs open; but then will start to reprot Tab Crash errors when trying to open new or already open pages. I have tried following the steps on the online support: using latest versions of Firefox and Windows drivers; checked for spyware and malware; opened Firefox in Troubleshooting mode - the errors still occur, even in Troubleshooting mode.

I have one submitted crash report; ID bp-39f08be2-f4d8-486f-87d5-b69ef0240607

very grateful for any help or advice

For the last month or so I'm constantly having issues with messaging on Facebook and with playback on Youtube.

On Facebook my messages are often not sending (I sometimes get a red "couldn't send message" tag under the message(s) I've tried to send; other times whatever I've tried to send just disappears without trace); also often my chats do not show up properly and they also don't sync properly with messages on my android phone. (Both my Firefox and my Messenger app are up to date.)

On Youtube I get issues with video playback (I have a premium account on Youtube): the videos sometimes randomly stop mid-playback and they either continue after 5-10 seconds or they just never continue at all. If the video quality is set higher than 1080p this happens more often. Other times the image freezes, but the audio keeps going. When I've watched a video and I press replay/play again, the video and the audio are delayed. I have an 11th gen i5 processor with 16 GB RAM and 250/25 Gb/s internet connection. To my knowledge all drivers are up to date. I've been chatting with Youtube support and they were adamant that I need to change to Chrome browser because this is Firefox's fault...

Also, when I use Facebook or Youtube, Firefox consumes a TON of resources (almost all resources) and makes my laptop run hot.

The only thing I can think of that might be an issue from my side is that I have many (and I mean many) tabs open in Firefox. But even after cleaning all history/cache and restarting Firefox and going straight to Facebook/Youtube, without touching any other tabs, I still have the issues with both - the two pages I use most. It's getting very tiring & annoying.

I'm using AdBlock Plus, but for Youtube it is disabled. (Youtube support wanted me to uninstall it... surprise, surprise...)

I hope you can help me find a way to fix this. Thank you

For months, Firefox will not load pages, like for google for instance. I will press Enter to load the page and it just won't do anything. Sometimes quitting and restarting fixes the issue, sometimes it doesn't. It isn't my internet, as I often have to open Safari to load the page instead, which always works.

I just did a refresh of Firefox, but the issue persists. It's getting to the point of potentially switching browsers. It's frustrating to have to switch browsers if I need a page to load.

My Firefox is up to date but this will not stop popping up! I have repaired, reinstalled. Still getting the below.

about:restartrequired Restart to Keep Using Firefox An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update. Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not.

Hello, Since a couple of weeks I'm facing a strange issue on my Firefox installed on my desktop (arch linux) where the suggestions window that appears when clicking the URL address bar, is shifted upwards and covers the address bar itself and the majority of the bookmarks. Has anyone experienced a similar issue and is able to point me towards some troubleshooting steps? Thanks!

I'm on Windows 11 Pro 23H2. This is a pristine installation, downloaded from mozilla.org, default settings, no add-ons. - Firefox 126.0.1. - There are no cookies, history or cache to clean, since it's a fresh installation. - Connection settings is set default to "Use system proxy settings", although I've also tried setting it up to "No proxy", then restarting Firefox completely, then trying again with a new domain. No change. - DNS over HTTPS is set default to "Default protection". I've also set it to "Off", then restarting Firefox completely, then trying again with a new domain. No change.

I don't what else to try and I don't know what's wrong with Mozilla Firefox.

Can you help?

During the past week, my open tabs will crash when I try to open them. All new tabs will crash. There are no crash reports. I cleared my cache but retained cookies. My temporary fix is to close and reopen Firefox. That works until I open another new tab.

results found for ‘Avast has found a malware software on my computer & is blocking firefox from opening it. Which is fine. But how do I totally delete this? The url is https://quicklivenews.com/news/images/fav_news_search.ico and the threat name is URL:Blacklist. The Process is C:\Program Files|Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe and was detected by Web Shield. I've rescanned my computer & have run CCleaner. HELP!!!

Hi, Before I try to refresh Firefox to fix an issue with Youtube pages not loading properly (I've tried everything else), I need to know whether or not my open windows and tabs will be preserved. Thanks in advance!

In Windows 10, Audible throws this error:

An Error Occurred An error occurred during processing. Please close this window and try again.

Other browsers are fine. Other media in Firefox such as BBC Sounds are fine. I cleared the history, then reset Firefox. I thought it might be an issue with the latest Realtek driver, but I could not roll back all Realtek drivers. So I installed an Asus DS Xonar 7.1 PCI soundcard. This shows exactly the same problem.

Thankyou.

Hello,

I am unable to either log in or access accounts on the websites indeed.com, x.com and chatgpt's openai.com

I used different computers (Windows 10 and Windows 11), different networks (Public library and private residence), and different versions of Firefox (125 and 126.0), one browser without any add ons and another with the "uBlock Origin" one, and I kept observing captcha or human authentication related errors.

With x.com, I would pass the human verification challenge (solve 10 puzzles), and then I would get the error "Something went wrong. Due to a technical issue, we couldn't complete this request. Please try again." I recorded my screen, and here you can see the video: https://web.archive.org/web/20240604035149/https://trello.com/1/cards/665e5d995d2e821054d66ac5/attachments/665e638096e76922e1404bd1/download/DISABLEMENT_-_unable_to_log_into_X_despite_passing_10_step_captcha_-_Screen_Recording_-_Made_with_FlexClip_-_20240603T172000PDT_-_shortened.mp4

Could I get some feedback?

Thanx

I have 5 tabs that point to sites that I use for my job. These tabs sometimes disappear after Firefox upgrades, but sometimes they disappear after rebooting my PC or shutting the browser and reopening it.

Please tell me how to keep this from happening or how to best recover my tabs when they disappear.

I have been a Firefox user since the "beginning" and really don't want to switch browsers. Also I contribute to Mozilla every month amounting to about 60 dollars a year, so I am a believer, but losing and having to recreate these tabs is really a hassle and slows my productivity.

Thank you for your help. Jane Pickens Waukegan, Illinois Cell [removed phone# from public support forum]
