Firefox Community Forum

Good morning,

Firefox is not loading webpages correctly this morning. From Gmail not displaying or opening individual emails, Amazon not opening, to youtube and several other sites not loading or displaying correctly. I had no issues at 9 PM PDT yesterday.

No changes to the computer, and everything is up to date.

I have successfully opened the above mentioned sites and others on MS Edge this morning.

Thanks!

I find that many websites don't run on firefox. Examples are virgin atlantic, holiday autos and copa airlines. I have to switch to Chrome to use them. Considering that firefox releases updates frequently this situation is surprising. Is the firefox administration aware of this issue? Is there any way to overcome this problem?

You know, I'd love to stick with Firefox as my main and only browser on my desktop. But it gets irritating when suddenly I can't use a web application or YouTube videos (like today) won't play or anything that forces me go go back to Chrome because THAT at least works consistently.

Gmail works on my phone (Android), Chrome, Opera, etc. It will no work in Firefox that I have used religiously for over 10 years. I've signed out of gmail and signed in...a dozen times. Nothing works. If I wish to read my emails, I switch to Opera

Why?

I don't want to get my device track or see my search history or search engine or if anyone get my device then they can't copy transfer data or add another device without my pin code or finger print

Does anyone know how to get rid of that icon in tabs with the newest version? I have found several mentions of code like below, but they are anywhere from 7 months ago to years ago and don't seem to work with the new update:

/* Disable unmuted icon */ .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }/* Disable unmuted icon */ or .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }

or something with: .tab-icon-overlay

thanks!

Hello. I've recently upgrade my internet connection (from fiber 200 to fiber 500 now), and I've noticed that firefox is slower than other browser like chrome, brave, edge etc.... The same was happened before so I didn't pay so much attention until the day I made the speedtest. The results was somehow disappointing (made the test multiple times, and days) I've made the test with or without extensions, same problem. I've check also that No Proxy setting is enabled. I've tried the firefox refresh, same results.

Can you please help? Mike

Hi Everyone,

I have tried everything I can to get firefox to work correctly. This morning I woke up to webpages not loading correctly, my emails being unable to be opened, youtube not loading videos, and google result websites not loading. Everything was working roughly 12 hours ago.

I have tried refreshing firefox, clearing my cookies and cache, and uninstalling with revo and then reinstalling. My computer is up to date and I have tried resetting it. Is there anything I need to/ can do to get Firefox working properly again?

Thank you!

I've repeatedly been unable to send a DM on a particular fb page ~ fb says it 'might' have something to do with my ad blocker! How do I disable just for that communication? (don't want to disable AB for anything else, I pick & choose that action. TIA

I've noticed that I've got both the 32 bit (../Program Files (86)/..) and 64 bit versions (../Program Files/..) of Firefox installed on my pc. I didn't install both and both appear to be the current version. Is this normal behaviour? Only one instance appears in add/remove programs, but if I go to default apps, Firefox appears twice (presumably the 32 & 64 bit versions). If this is not normal, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remove the 32 bit version without damaging the 64 bit one?

I have picked up some bug(s) on my Firefox that I cannot figure out how to get rid of. With a Firefox ID I have warnings of 3 Trojan Virus detected, Virus detected, hard drive infected, secure data notice and system alert. I also got a warning that my McAfee protection had expired which is very strange. Since switching over in 2010 from Windows to Linux I have never had protection of any kind and unlike Windows have never had a single problem. In addition when I was using Windows the protection that I had was never McAfee. I suspect that these warnings are not from Firefox given the misprints, spelling errors and the poor English. It is likely phishing from some third world country. How do I get rid of this obvious garbage permanently? Many thanks! Kris

After the last Firefox update, I am not able to sign in to Hotmail (or possibly Microsoft account in general). Firefox is asking for "Face, fingerprint, PIN or security key" - but it has never asked to create any of these. Apparently, it is impossible to sign in with a password. And this request seems to originate from Firefox, not from Microsoft - and I am able to sign in to Hotmail with other browsers. How can I disable this, so I can use Hotmail in Firefox?

hi in a new win 10 instal most text incl Fire Fox text is made up of letters [font] that are made of thin and thick lines [in the same letter]

i dont know if its a strange font or another problem, i have copied all "font" setting from my other pc where i dont have the problem.

also i cant get spell check to work here dsespite turning it on

its very distracting, would be very gratefull for any suggestones if any one can 

help thanks

As has been mentioned many times before I am sure, it would be really helpful to be able to have a less laborious way to add exceptions but as I have been through the ridiculous process of typing in site addresses manually one by one without having any sensible way to record these addresses already I guess it won't help me now. The ridiculous aspect came from having to take screen shots of the list of sites from the manage data list after deleting everything not wanted, scrolling down a windows worth at a time, copying that screen shot into multiple copies of a graphics program then shrinking each copy of the graphics program and Firefox so each can be seen so I can manually type each address across.

I know I am supposed to be nice but this is just insane. It is 2025. There is a thing called copy and paste. Apparently some people at Mozilla are not aware of this.

Having got that off my chest the next issue is that the deletion of cookies and data only occurs when Firefox is closed. Who closes Firefox? Why would you close Firefox? I currently have 24 tabs open. Why on earth would I want to close them down just so they have to be selected one at a time and reloaded? What is the thinking behind this stupidity?

The only time I close Firefox down is when Windows is restarted for updates (every application) or when IDM needs to update as I found this negates the need to restart Windows (Firefox only).

Other than those situations I am trying to work out how to fit this cookies/data deletion into the normal operation of my computer. There appears to be a lack of a suitable way to deal with this situation. Would it be considered acceptable to just wait for those times Firefox has to be closed? This would be far better than what I have been doing up to now but why wouldn't Firefox delete this data when the last tab for a site is closed? There are a huge number of sites I bring up due to searching for something and close them immediately or after reading what they have to say.

I have been using computers for about 30 years and have long lost the inclination and to be honest the ability to delve deep into them. Today I just want to have them do what I want/need without unnecessary complications.

Have I got this situation right or is there something I have missed? At the moment IDM has been having a lot of updates thanks to YouTube's greed but before that I found I generally only had to restart my computer for MS updates and when strange things started to happen.

Hello,

I have version 143.0.3 (aarch64), running on a 2020 M1 mac. I did an update recently but I still have all of my bookmarks, that's not the problem. The problem is, although the space for the bookmarks toolbar appears when I click "always show" (and disapears when I select "never show"), I see nothing. Nothing shows up in this space and so I have to go menu diving to get to my bookmarks. Do you have an idea how to fix this?
