Firefox Community Forum

Just recently when logged onto Hotcopper.com.au have been getting a message that reads "This page is slowing Firefox down. To speed up this browser, stop this page." There is a STOP button, that helps for a moment or two only. When I open the program with MS Edge, the problem does nor occur. I was going to remove the Firefox App but saw the repair option. Repairing did not stop the problem. Any suggestions? John I have a near new Acer laptop running Win 11.

Would appreciate your help in advising how I can re-instate my Protonmail login as it just doesn't seem to want to let me access the site at all - it just tries to access and then keeps coming up with 'oops something went wrong'. It's like there is a block on letting me access? This has only just happened since doing firefox updates.

Cheers

I would like to propose a change to this section of you browser:

settings/home/firefox home content/shortcuts - the option includes both sites I visit and sites I save.

Is there a way to chose only sites I save? I do not want my browsing history mixed in with the shortcuts I choose to save on my home screen. I have been using firefox on all of my computers and other devices for a long time. I recently had to delete all of my passwords from firefox password manager for a more secure application due to your changes in privacy policy. I need to resolve this setting as well, so that my shortcuts (those I have pinned to my home screen) are not interfered with by browsing history. It does not make sense why I have to choose either both or neither.

I hard shut down my laptop and when I re-opened it, Firefox seemed to have reset itself completely. My profiles were gone, my bookmarks are still present but their icons are missing, my background is missing, my extensions un-pinned, and -- naturally -- all of my tabs were closed. My original profile is completely gone, which kind of sucks, because it was pretty personalized. I think even my preference settings reversed themselves, because it tried to show me the AI chatbot on the sidebar, which I had turned off. I figured at first that it was a matter of spotty connection, because I was using my phone's hotspot at the time, but I'm now back with a solid wi-fi connection, and everything is still acting strangely. Help? How do I get my original profile back in its proper form, if possible? Or, at least, the icons to show back up on my bookmarks? I have turned everything off and back on again, as it were.

you asked me to change my profile, choose a color and I did. But when I wanted to Firefox, all my old password and bookmarks had disappeared. I want them back if I am going to continue to use Firefox as my favorite browser.

I have created a website related to food, restaurant menus, and nutrition tools: https://nutritioncalculators.net/ https://nutritioncalculators.net/ . Everything works fine on most browsers, but I’m facing some issues on Firefox. Specifically, some features, forms, and interactive tools don’t always load correctly or behave as expected.

For example, the nutrition calculator tools sometimes freeze or do not respond when I try to use them in Firefox. I want to make sure my website works smoothly for all users, including those using Firefox.

Can someone please guide me on what might be causing these issues and how to fix them so Firefox displays all features properly?

You cant just delete all my bookmarks. Im almost in tears to have lost so much. This is beyond a joke, beyond any kind of punishment or war-crime.

How can you have the ability to delite so many bookmarks that people treasure and live with on a whim through b.s. with no apology, no meaning or reason given.

You are atrocious. This action will have caused immeasurable pain and grief to me because you suddenly decide one day you can wipe out all bookmarks on an account for no reason at all.

Shame on you, you absolutley evil harridans.

I have been using virtualrailfan.com but recently have experienced non operation of the app. Using another browser does not have this difficulty. The site starts OK but going to a sub-site, it refuses to start Virtualrailfan says it is a problem on my end and the fact that another browser works, confirms this fact. They initially said zoom was the problem but changing that in the browser didn't work. Please help

I just want to say that if Firefox goes through with this AI bs, I will promptly be finding a new browser. The whole point of me using Firefox is it is the best browser for privacy, which I care about greatly. AI integration and personal privacy are mutually exclusive; they can't exist without each other. So do not become an "AI browser," or whatever the CEO called it. It is only going to kill a great product that is basically the only thing stopping google from having a web browser monopoly.

I started noticing my browser was running rough, and I tracked it down to Youtube, but only when I have a video in fullscreen. It doesn't appear to be affected by the codec, av0/avc/vp09 all suffer from it.

Incognito mode (no extensions) is still affected by it, but a separate profile + troubleshoot mode are not. My RTX 5080 is showing about 2% usage when playing a video, 0% at idle.

How do I nail down what's causing this?

Can not use the modzilla VPN purchased for my 2017 Macbook Air. Operating system will not support it! Required credit card reversal for Mozilla receipt ZPQWEQ-0001 March 31/26.
