Firefox Community Forum

Hi whenever I use my Google account to sign into websites (Google, ebay, YouTube, & anyother sites,) Firefox will become unresponsive, the window containing the tab i was using becomes unresponsive, sort of. - I can't click any open Firefox Tabs, - the red 'Close' radio button is greyed-out, so I can't close any tabs or the window - right-click is unresponsive, so i can't close tabs that way, but Command-W closes the tabs normally, but the others are still unresponsive.

- i can open a new Firefox window (with &/or without Tabs,) which works normally.

- & unrelated, but earlier, Firefox was running really slowly, Youtube videos were slowed down, but audio was normal, and scrolling was slow.

I don't know why any browser never seems to allow for this. I hate using the mouse wheel to scroll down webpages and always use the scroll bar on the right side. Problem is most of the time it's way to skinny/narrow to be practically used and the bar you use to scroll it up and down - especially on long pages - is so tiny as to be completely unusable. It may not be an issue for tweens who still have eyes like hawks but for older people, like me, it's a pain in the tuchus. I'd like to be able to increase both the size - width mostly - of the slide rail and increase the overall size of the slide bar you use to control it.

Thanks!

bold text'bold text''''''''''bold text'bold text 'I much prefer firefox that i installed 2024, i found it much more friendly. Just installed firefox on my newer laptop which has windows 11. This newer firefox (new to me) says i am running windows 10. (version 151.0.1 64-bit) How do i change that, also how to do finish setup?? I have been doing my best to research you Q&A. Have not found much to be helpful regarding my issues. I am a fan of Firefox and would like to continue using it, and supporting Mozilla when I can. I am not that savvy so any help would be appreciated. Thank you, MJ

I keep getting a message that I have 255 characters but 280 are needed. Is this request even going to work, I certainly hope so.

I need some of your expert help if you please. It would be a huge help to me.

Thank you again.

Firefox used to display an AI overview response at the top of the page when you asked a question. That feature has disappeared on my systems. I assume that is because of the new AI controls. Is that function still available? If so, how do I re-enable it on Windows 10? The only video I could find addressed it for Windows 11 but I'm not there yet.

Firefox ran all right, i.e. accessed anywhere in the world. But after I specified Express VPN to apply VPN to Firefox, Firefox stopped finding sites as if it lost name resolving ability. When I did a similar thing for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, such things did not happen.

I used to be able to log into Peacock without issues. Either Firefox changed something or Peacock did. But it no longer works correctly. I can sign in, but the main menu appears for a split second, then the screen goes black.

All the tabs, in both my profiles are constantly crashing. I cannot keep at a task for more than a few minutes without needing to restart the tab. Is this a setting problem? I've cleared the cache, and reset Firefox, to no avail. Thank you for any relevant advice and/or assistance.

This was working just fine up until 2 days ago. As the title says, when I close firefox, it is now no longer restoring my tabs from my previous session. Closing via the x does not give me the option to restore my previous session.

I have:

Tried unchecking the box, closing firefox, opening it again and rechecking the box. No success.

Uninstalled firefox, restarted my computer, and reinstalled firefox. Still no success.

I am open to further suggestions.

Librarything website has suddenly become so slow to load in Firefox it's unuseable. I've cleared cookies and site data. It used to work fine. Other sites work fine. It opens fast in Chrome. I turned off adblocker and Ghostery and Firefox enhanced protection.

no sure if this is the right topic place, but nothing else seemed any closer. can anyone tell me what the h*** the error message i keep getting when i do something like "sort by unread" and then go back to "sort by all"? i also have trouble just logging in - i have 3 profiles that i use. could not find anything in the troubleshooting section and i don't think it would be from the malware app as everything worked just fine for several years with this running any help would be greatly appreciated! wolfgang
