Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

Google Drive today stopped loading properly. I keep getting the rotating circle or "working" in the lower left corner of the browser window. I can get it to load fine in Safari and Chrome.

Docs and sheets I already had open, I seem to be able to interact with and edit normally. But navigating the main file path in Google drive, opening folders, and opening files isn't working.

I would really prefer to not switch browsers, as my entire workflow is set up on Firefox.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Sarah

I am unable to login to my Google Accounts on Firefox on Desktop from version 136.0.2 and up. Everytime I open the sign-in page for Google, the page automatically closes before I can type in my information. I followed the advice from this Support page with no success: "Unable to log into Google accounts from Firefox", https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1468020#:~:text=We%20have%20resolved%20an%20issue%20with%20Google%20auth,settings%20that%20does%20not%20require%20a%20Firefox%20upgrade.

I am able to log into my Google accounts in other browsers so I think the issue is localized to Firefox. I did notice that the web URL for the Google Accounts webpage changes each time I attempt to log in. I included two URLs for reference.

Thank you for the assistance

All of a sudden for the past few weeks or so, I keep getting the message in the attached screenshot when entering words in the search bar and clicking on Google. This never happened before in all the years I've been doing this, so what's up with it and can it be fixed? Thanks.

I chose passwords and sign in, but there's more. You are already aware of the Facebook issues but there are others issues with this and I personally don't have time to tell you how to do your job. I have to keep up my production to keep my job. Your browser really cost me labor time. So, I would like to know do you recommend going back to a previous version until you fix this mess? OR... what ohter browser would you recommend as your replacement?

I appreciate your time, and I look forward to your answer.

Thank you R

Wise.com has informed me that something in the system is not allowing a CAPTCHA VERIFICATION. ONE SOLUTION THAT WISE HAS SUGGESTED IS TO CLEAR THE CACHE IN MY BROWSER. HOW CAN I DO THIS?

SOO! Mozilla is the browser BUT Outlook Hotmail is the messaging app. Did not know that. Assumed they were one in the same company. Over the years I somehow transitioned from Hotmail to Outlook which I assumed are one in the same. It appears my problem of inserting a picture into an email text lays with MS not Mozilla! How do I fix that? Can/should I switch to Mozilla Hotmail or is that automatically Outlook???

Inserting picture in email text does not work. When attempting to drag/Insert picture into email text, the message "The following files couldn't be attached: filename.jpg. Please try again later." appears. I have not been able to find a solution. The dragged/Inserted picture always ends up outside the email text box and cannot be moved into it. Firefox 133.03 64-bit is up to date on Windows 10.

Is there a MS forum like Mozilla??? I am not the only person having this problem.

I've been unable to sign in or send messages through certain sites. Put Firefox in troubleshooting mode and everything seems to be working correctly. How can you tell what settings need to be changed to keep it working correctly? Or should I just leave the browser in troubleshooting mode? Thanks. Jim

For much of 2024 I've had reCAPTCHA issues. I'm currently in dialogue with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), via their 'Director' email address. as they use this device for access to many features and to all communication, comments, complaints etc. The reCAPTCha window and message of things to verify doesn't appear at all, eg, no phrase like:select all traffic lights; and no window of 9 images, just the message that the site uses ReCAPTCha. But it isn't just ABC, it is all sites that use this verification device. I contacted ABC because they are a large organisation with a dedicated IT team. I take the Firefox upgrades currently 133.03 - 64 bit with Window 10 My concern is now that this has occurred for so long, that even ABC are saying this is caused by Firefox, not Google. I've pointed out how ludicrous that statement is, eg, why would Firefox create such a problem, whereas Goggle has a vested interested in not resolving it as many will switch to Google platform products.

I am unable to get access to my Gmail accounts. Every time I select a bookmark link to Google email I get server time out error pages. I have looked at Windows 10(64) Firewall settings and I do not find anything blocking Firefox from accessing the internet(Inbound or Outbound Rules) are set to allow. NordVPN is not set to block any program or connection. I have never seen anything block access to Google.com or any related pages within Google. HELP Please!

I suddenly can not sign in to my bank account. Started last night (12/22) and continues this morning. It worked fine yesterday morning (12/22). I can login in using a non firefox device without issue. What did firefox change and how do I fix it?

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a performance issue specifically on Firefox that I can't replicate in Chromium browsers.

On my site https://snippingtoolshortcuts.com/, the layout and text load fine, but the scrolling performance feels "heavy" or jittery on Firefox (Version 133+). When I test the same page in Chrome or Edge, the smooth-scrolling and hover effects on the shortcut tables are perfectly fluid.

I’ve tried:

Testing in Troubleshoot Mode (Add-ons disabled).

Disabling hardware acceleration.

Checking the "Network" tab for slow-loading scripts (everything seems green).

Are there known issues with Firefox's handling of large CSS tables or specific grid layouts that might cause this? I'd appreciate if someone could check the URL on their end to see if it’s a global rendering issue or just something with my local profile.

Thank you.
