Hello! After a clean install of Windows 11 24h2 Pro, Mozilla Firefox is unusable. It takes about 2 minutes to load a page which is abnormal. I remember I had the same issue when I first installed Windows 11 23H2 Pro and that was resolved somehow but it was 2 or 3 years ago and I've no idea what the solution was back then. I've tried some basic stuff including Test suggestion which of course didn't resolve anything as almost all of them are referring to cleaning cache, reinstall Firefox etc and it literally has nothing to do with my situation. Any solutions?

I have use the following type of code in the google appscript for downloading the html table as .pdf format but after update the Firefox browser the file unable to download but everything runs properly and the success message is appearing but the file is not downloading. Before, update the browser, the file was downloaded properly, please tell me how to resolve the problem. It's an URGENT. Please take necessary action at an earlier.

function exportToPDF() {

   try {
       const table = document.getElementById("dataTable");
       if (!table || table.classList.contains('hidden')) {
           showAlert("Nothing found to generate PDF!");
           return;
       }

I used once entering about about:config to enable DOT setting in my android phone but have not yet completed network.trr.uri.Later on, tried to do it but cannot access using about:config any more. Please advise, as your recent online instruction allow windows laptop to set automatically using security and privacy to go to Https setting to enable it. Not so, for android devices, even using chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtmi, it does not go directly to enable Https setting. Any recent updates to do it. I understand that the restrictions are good to prevent most users and not developers to adjust the defaults. But why not making simpler only for most users to tweak or enable DOT setting, just like brave. Thank you for your understanding and attention. Regards Francis

I believe this problem is caused by a false crash recovery loop, every time I open firefox it'll close again and then give me an annoying red striped address bar. I'm sure its not my extensions because I only have Ublock Origin installed.

I downloaded firefox and it worked for about a month. Now when I try to launch it, the screen flashes momentarily as though it were about to pop up, but then it does not actually open a browser window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox more than once, I've tried a simple restart of the computer, and tried multiple different update methods (updated windows). Any suggestions?

Latest update changed it so that URLs are not shown in the address bar unless a button is clicked. How to restore URLs being shown by default?

Please note: below question is similar but not the same. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1493782

In Chrome, for example, if you type "maps" in the address bar, it will autofill to "maps.google.com", which then redirects to the correct URL, "google.com/maps". Initially, it doesn’t do this, but if you do it repeatedly, Chrome eventually learns and sends you directly to that URL when you type "maps". The same happens with "gmail" or even just "gm", which redirect to "gmail.com" or "mail.google.com". Does Firefox have this kind of feature?

I think I browsed a reddit thread from a few years ago asking this same problem having something to do with autofill frequency which doesn't work, because the actual url is not, in the example of maps, maps.google.com and the url I want to enter redirects to it.

When navigating through video websites, the browser often becomes unresponsive and refreshes the interface. When accessing other websites, the browser tabs frequently experience crashes.

Details regarding the operating system, laptop model, and browser version are provided below, and the screenshot of unresponsive website has been attached with this, um email or message.

I have a problem that I cannot resolve for months. I'm always listening to YouTube I'm listening music while I'm working or I'm doing task on Firefox I used to have no problem I just Open YouTube and let it play on auto play and it goes no matter what. About 6 months ago I started to experiment some problems the video stop all the time even if I have a playlist going on like 50 song one after another it will stop once in a while for no reason. It pissed me off so much that I have to change my browser by default and I don't like other browser I use always Firefox with DuckDuckGo so when I'm trap to use other browser I get mad the only one that functions very good it's on edge Microsoft and seriously I cannot stand this… I'm forced to use YouTube only on edge it's the only place that it works no matter what it never stop. It used to be a little arrow in the bottom of the screen, a button that you can click on and off to Auto play or not, this button disappear it's not even there no more. This button Auto Play it's not there in Edge or Google Chrome but YouTube works for them not for Firefox so what is the problem it's not the setting is it YouTube that's got problem with Firefox? I don't know, it must be a way, a back door because I need to go back with Firefox I need to go back with DuckDuckGo. I'm pissed because I have to leave just because of that and that it's no compromise for me my music will pass before everything else. I don't feel like asking question to the community because it takes months before they answer you if they do. It's no customer service for Firefox or Mozilla whatsoever they don't answer you they don't talk to you they don't fucking care and this is another thing that pisses me off because they have a good thing going on but they don't care about the people. This was, this is what I did so far: Disable Hardware Acceleration "Performance" section.

I unchecked "Use recommended performance settings."

I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available." Clear Cache and Cookies I cleared the cache and cookies preferences privacy: Under "Cookies and Site Data," I clicked on "Clear Data."

Extensions about:addons I disabled all extensions to see if the problem persists… nothing happen YouTube I used YouTube in a Private Window … nothing happen YouTube Playback Settings I changed the video quality … nothing happen

Developer Tools for Network Throttling Maby using the developer tools, I can check for network issues? I didn’t try yet Reset Firefox I Refresh Firefox to restore it to its default state… nothing happen I uninstalled it and clean the registry. I reinstalled it. …nothing happen I ensure that you I’m using the latest version of Firefox: Yes My laptop specifications: Device specifications Device name: Fatcatbasse Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics 3.20 GHz Installed RAM: 64.0 GB (63.4 GB usable) Device ID: 8EDED38D-1047-40B4-8AIF-C2361C5E5841 Product ID: 00330-80000-OOOOO-AA797 System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display

Graphics Drivers I ensure that my graphics drivers are up to date. They are Testing Other Browsers I already mentioned that Edge works well Google Chrome also So you got an idea what I can do maybe shooting with a gun on the computer? Maybe pouring bleach or fuel on the keyboard? Maybe that work.
