Hello,

I have noticed in the last month or so a new phenomenon. I regularly need to access such platforms as Microsoft Ads, Google Ads and Google Analytics. Previously with my FireFox VPN turned on I had no issues. Now I cannot access these sites unless I turn off the VPN. I think there was a FireFox update not long ago. Should I be experiencing this issue or is there a resolution to this problem?

Thanks Andrew

Why does Mozilla 154.0 always stall after a couple of minutes? It is a hell of a mess. I couldn't place this question without resorting to an older version of Firefox :-[[

Did anybody test V 154.0 anytime, at all?

I unfortunately updated a Windows 10 computer to this version of Firefox.

As such, I cannot provide you with troubleshooting information, because the new browser 154.0 does not work. At. All.

I did all the usual stuff like restarting the computer, the users of Windows OS junk are used to anyway. The Task Manager shows not less than 16 Firefox-processes, with a truckload of memory usage, having opened just one browser tab. Waiting for 20 minutes for firefox to show me the grace of continuing its operation didn't help either.

Any ideas?

Hi,

In the latest firefox update 154, no start pages are displayed that were distributed with a registry key via group policy. It only works again if you change this setting manually in the Firefox settings.

In Version 153 it´s fine.

Firefox under Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, will not let me input text. How can I get past this?

I am having to type into a text file, copy and paste to get information into a text box in Firefox.

Firefox shows Russian as the selected "Fallback language", but I cannot change it to another language.

My current language settings are:

Preferred language: English (US) Fallback language: Russian Website languages: Ukrainian [uk], English (United States) [en-us], English [en]

I do not want Russian to be used as a fallback language.

Steps to reproduce: Open Firefox Settings. Open the language settings. Set the Preferred language to English (US). Observe the Fallback language setting. Try to change the Fallback language from Russian to English or Ukrainian.

Actual result The Fallback language is set to Russian and cannot be changed to another language. The fallback language dropdown works correctly, but the list contains only Russian.

Expected result

The Fallback language should be selectable independently of the Preferred language, and I should be able to select English (US) or Ukrainian or Polish instead of Russian.

Additional information

The issue is present on:

Firefox 154.0.1 macOS Apple Silicon (aarch64)

The Website languages setting already contains Ukrainian and English, but this does not allow me to remove Russian from the Firefox UI fallback language.

I'm getting the "whats new" page always in Russian

Firefox uses firefox icon instead of website icon. Can change it thru properties/change icon but every time i make a shortcut i have to change it if i want the right one.

When Firefox opens, I sign in to my email address and when that page opens - it says at very top of screen that Firefox is not responding and stays that way. Refreshed, restarted, pressed delete cache and nothing will correct this. No issue for years until last week so please fix or advise how to do so. Thanks. Herb [redacted email from public]

I've been testing a browser-based metronome in Firefox and noticed that the audio click can sometimes feel slightly out of sync with the visual beat. It isn't a complete audio failure—the metronome keeps running and produces sound—but the timing can feel a little delayed or inconsistent, especially when using it at faster BPMs. The site I'm testing with is TheTapTempo's online metronome. I'm trying to figure out whether this is related to Firefox's handling of web audio or whether the delay is more likely to come from the system/audio device. A few things I'm wondering about: • Could Firefox's Web Audio timing cause a small difference between the scheduled beat and when the sound is actually heard? • Could Bluetooth headphones make the problem more noticeable because of their audio latency? • Can Firefox extensions or hardware acceleration affect the timing of browser-based audio? • Is there a Firefox setting or diagnostic mode that would be useful for testing this? • Would comparing the same metronome in Firefox and another browser help determine whether the issue is Firefox-specific? I've also noticed that the perceived timing can depend on the audio output being used, so I'm not sure whether this should be treated as a Firefox issue or an audio-device latency issue. What's the best way to troubleshoot this in Firefox?

i have been tired many things to do and have tried all of them instead of uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Which i should not have to do as none of what is happening is my fault. I have done all i was asked by many of you and have done it all . I am getting no answer and no real solution by Firefox to tell me why i continue to get that you all think i am a dumbie none of this is my problem yes i have desktop icons which i have always had and yes they ope up with Firefox and never ever have i had this before they have always open with no problem until this last updated version. I am constantly getting Firefox is running but not o responding. Why when i go to chrome or click the chrome add on in address bar a say click on my amazon I con it opens right up with not saying google is running but not responding. why ca none of you answer the question and why can it not be accepted that it is a Firefox problem and not me. As i have said i have had these same desktop shortcuts since i got my computer on windows 7. up until this last version i never ever had Firefox say it is running but not responding. Like ic said i have done all that way said by Bugzilla Firefox help and still no real answer and no fix . I am tellin you it is not me it is a Firefox problem. why can this not be researched and find out why. I am sure i am nt the only one with this problem. Please i need a solution or ill stop using Firefox which i have for over 20 years but apparently Firefox does not care and thanks SOLUTION PLEASE

Since the last upgrade, my Home Page has gone from "Classic" to "Smart Window" which does not contain all the tiles I have on the Classic Page. I love having all those tiles on my home page. I have to manually change the page whenever I start Firefox. I am very old (over 80) and not as computer literate as I could be but I don't have grandchildren who can help me with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This has been in the last month or so. It will freeze up and I can't break out of it. Last time it froze the whole computer and I had to power down and restart. There must be something that changed. And there must be some way for me to be able to quit when this happens. Last time it was on a video call with my 104 year old mother and it is very annoying. The whole thing froze and I had to restart the computer and when I got it back up, she was off. I need some way to break out so I don't have to do a complete restart. t.

before v151.0.2, didn't have a problem with firefox, now with this new release, it is really really slow, takes some time to start and load pages. what happened??

After the last update, Firefox will not load pages after 2 or 3 successful web searches. Once i close and then reopen Firefox it will work again for 2 or 3 web searchs via the dialog box
