on re-try, problem disappears using 136.0 Beta 5 last daily update 12 Feb 2025

I thought I had fixed this problem but now it doesn't work again: When I click to pay with Paypal, it goes to the site, looks like it is logging me in. And then says "Something Went Wrong Try Again Return to Merchant." It does not happen on Safari. Can someone walk me through a fix?

javascript does not work even though javascript.enabled is true.

Every time Windows 11 shuts down and reboots, a google search produces the same error screen stating javascript is not enabled, go to about.config, set javascript.enabled to true -- which every time is set at true already.

This is a huge pain in the butt!!!!!!!!!!!

there is now a bug since last update which prevents me from copying material and pasting it into my gmail account on my macbook. This is not a problem on my android phone. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

GETTING SLOW DOWNLOAD / UPLOAD SPEEDS WHEN COMPARED TO MICROSOFT EDGE BROWSER AND BRAVE BROWSER.

ITS ALMOST HALF WHEN COMPARED.

GETTING THIS ISSUE FROM PAST FEW FEW DAYS

I want links that I open (in Firefox, from Firefox, like opening any normal link) to open in the same tab (unless otherwise specific, like a normal browser should work), and all links from other applications to open in a new tab.

Whenever I click a link, it overrides my current tab, even if I'm working on something important. Apps do not always make it obvious what might be a URL. Windows for instance LOVES to open up "support" links in your browser. Firefox also does this itself with its update function, it opens up its update notification by overwriting your previous tab.

This is a really, really basic feature that should really be a default setting, but it doesn't seem to exist in settings at all.

For several weeks now, I have been unable to upload videos to a group in Facebook using Firefox. Previously, I posted a video almost daily. The loading wheel keeps spinning. This in Windows 11 Pro version 24H2 with Firefox 135.0 (64 bits).

I've been using Firefox for many years with no problems. Recently, there have been frequent tab crashes. I've noted this problem before, and sent reports, but no fixes ever seem to be forthcoming. This makes me question whether I should continue using Firefox. The times I've switched to Edge, it hasn't crashed.

I have a new PC with Windows 11 and have Firefox Browser downloaden. New I See only: Diese Adresse scheint nicht korrekt zu sein. WhatsApp is wrong. Can You help me?

Since no one responded I was able to search some data and contacted a person and they told me what to do and fixed it.. so thanks. I am still not happy how Firefox is working since the last update.

i have to use Windows 7 due to special circumstances and everything was fine till the last automatic update a few days ago. Since then my blog WP will not open and the browser freezes on many sites and will not even fill out, takes forever to access some links.. interestingly the links from Greece and France both work much better than more local ones. I did a full system restore and was able to access some sites as noted but I need to access all my data on EQ and Volcanoes and Solar activity since I post 2x a day and being located with the home office in N CA you know how important this information is to be prepared. So I have been using Windows 7 and Word 3 and doing fine till the last update. I thought doing a restore point to January would fix it but it didn't when my husband passed I lost my computer guru he built computers so he knew about all this stuff. Its been hard to keep this one going. But so far I am able to use my laptop Toshiba for Windows 7 . Thank you, any help will be appreciated. WP is the most important link that I can't access anymore. Just leaves a blank page. The N CA USGS is another one that does not work properly. the laptop is fine since I switched over to Chrome temporarily till I can fix this problem Chrome is working well. But I want Firefox and I understand you do not support Windows less than 8.1 But it was fine till the last update and I was always taught to go back to the last time it worked.

for about a month my firefox home screen is greyed out in the "thought provoking stories" and it is continuously flashing. Everything works, ie. I can still search the net, etc. but this is driving me crazy. I have tried everything from checking settings, through extension conflicts and resetting, but nothing makes any difference. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it came back with the same problem. i have windows 10 and am getting ready to upgrade to 11, but I would like everything working as it should before doing the upgrade. I even tried to change my profile, but I'm not sure how to do it and it made no difference. Any help will be much appreciated.

I run a security company in London that provides security guards and related services. Our website is crucial for attracting new clients, handling inquiries, and showcasing our services. However, we’ve recently noticed that the site has become very slow to load and, at times, completely unresponsive.

At first, I thought it was a temporary issue, but it has persisted for several days. Some visitors have reported that the website takes too long to load, while others say they receive error messages or SSL warnings. Since our business relies on the website for leads and customer engagement, this is a serious concern.

What I Have Checked So Far:

Verified that our hosting provider is operational

Cleared the website cache and restarted the server Scanned for malware or security breaches Checked that our SSL certificate is valid Tested the website on different devices and networks

I’m unsure whether this is due to server problems, high traffic, a DDoS attack, or a misconfiguration in our website settings. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a DNS issue, firewall restriction, or a hosting-related problem? Any troubleshooting advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help! https://gmsecurityservices.co.uk/

Why cant the editor not pick-up the font that the document is being drafted in so that one can edit in the same font and size....? surely it will make it much more authentic.....

Suddenly hardware acceleration does not work any more and I have black screens when trying to move or switch from a window playing Netflix. Nvidia 4080 super / Windows 11. It works fine when I disable hardware acceleration.
