I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Whenever I load a website that needs location (for example, Google Maps or my province's lottery) and enable location permissions, the websites come back saying they cannot find my location.

I have refreshed Firefox, disabled all Enhanced Tracking Protection, disabled all extensions, and have even ran Firefox in Troubleshoot mode - all to no avail. Is there any way this can be fixed? These websites all work on Chrome and Edge and work on my Firefox for iPhone.

On Windows 10 22H2.

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

HI,

I updated recently the Firefox installation on my Mac to 139.0.1. I noticed that I can no longer print from certain websites using Firefox. One example is from Alaskair, where I tried to print a ticket and it was just sitting there trying. I had no problem printing the same with Safari.

Is this a known problem? Any suggestion (other than just give up on Firefox and use Safari) for what to do about this?

Every time I update Firefox, new bugs cause annoying problems. That's why I usually not updating for a long time.

Thanks.

It don't work in the login password window.

Thank you for help!

Have an app with a web interface that I used for years, but not with several of the latest versions of FF. Chrome, Edge, and DuckDuckGo all show the page as expected and the page functions properly.

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8384/ Error looks like this:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:[port number].

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Have tried a large number of things including:

Ping works for ip and hostname, v4 and v6 Confirmed address is accessible through other browsers Disabled extensions Added exceptions in Settings for HTTPS-only mode Various settings in about:config, careful to return them to previous states when they didn't fix the problem Tried Safe Mode (aka Troubleshoot Mode) Refreshed Firefox (as prompted before uninstalling)

My last step is to reinstall, but thought I'd ask here first. Has anyone seen this before?

I cannot get past the secure connection failed! I have cleared cookies, cache, etc. I have turned off the firewall, and restarted my computer more times that I can count....

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?

Hi!

Previously, all the sites saved in a single container could be accessed via the dropdown arrow to the left of the 'close,' 'minimize,' and 'maximize' buttons. Now, it only shows current tabs, tabs from other devices, close duplicate tabs, and add a tab to one of the containers. But how to open those containers is unclear.

PS I have the latest update 139.0.1

When I type into Firefox www.gmail.com the message returned is "Looks like there’s a problem with this site https://searx.space/mail/u/0/ sent back an error. Error code: 404 Not Found

When I try to access Google Maps the message returned is "Looks like there’s a problem with this site https://searx.space/maps/place/Taman Bay/@45.3126101,36.7266254,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x40ee93c055efa761:0x94911e600ea680f6!8m2!3d45.2873681!4d36.7542667?hl=en sent back an error. Error code: 404 Not Found

When I try to access Google Translate the screen returned shows a listing of 74 online SearXNG instances.

What is going on? Why is Firefox pointing to SearXNG sites rather than Google? Grateful for advice of a fix. [I have eset Internet Security installed.] Unable to attach a screen shot at the moment - nothing will save just now as I have an eset scan running.

Firefox keeps crashing and Hanging and I get the error message "gah your tab etc" I have followed the advice for fixing the problem but it keeps coming back Its really annoying when you are trying to do something I'm no computer whiz and I have looked at the crash reports, its just gobble gook to me, I need help to fix the problem.

I have been watching YouTube for years, issue free. This week I was blocked, as my computer may be blocking ads and thus violating You Tubes policy. How can I find and disable ad block programs/ extensions, thus allowing me to get back on You tube. I can recognize an outright program, but do not knew if extensions are in play that are not obvious to me. THANKS

I'm trying to install Firefox on my work computer (ARM64 version), but when I do I'm getting the crash report window at the end of the installation process (multiple times in a row), if I try to open the browser (only once), and during the uninstallation process (also multiple times in a row). I've tried a clean reinstall multiple times, including deleting the folders from program files, %APPDATA%, and all registry entries I could find (HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>SOFTWARE, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>SOFTWARE>>WOW6432Node).

I've contacted IT and they don't seem to think anything pre-installed should be affecting this. I'm unable to get a crash ID as I'm unable to even start the browser - all I get is the Firefox crash reporter, immediately. Is someone able to help me figure out why I can't get this working?

My C hard drive is almost full. How can I get Firefox to run from the D drive? I tried copying the files there but it would not run. Do I need to edit something in the Registry? I'm using (for as long as I can) Win 10 on a Dell desktop. Latest version of Firefox is installed.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hello all, I have the same exact problem described in post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1463436, dated 9 December 2024. Until ten days ago (more or less) all was working correctly. At the beginning I thought there was a problem with Intesa because Intesa had problems in all the country in that period, but I have now tried CHROME and found that is working correctly. My system uses Firefox 139.0.1, W10-32 and Iliad FTTH. I have already cleaned cache and data from settings but the problem remains. Any thought? Thanks very much for any help. Mario.

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.
