Firefox supportforum

Hi. Every time I enter my website on Firefox it flickers. Is there any way to fix this problem. I am not talking about changing background color in browser settings. I am talking about more global resolution so other people who visit my site won't see those white flashes each time they navigate my website.

Every time I download something whether its a program or file, Firefox would completely freeze for a few seconds and then go back to normal and resume the download. I find it very irritating, especially when I am trying to do something else on a different tab whether its working on school work or just watching a video. Is there a fix for this or will this be fixed in an upcoming update?

When I create a tab by clicking on a link, normally the tab will open to that link after a small delay. But some tabs just sit there, seemingly dead to the world. I've tried refreshing by hitting enter, or when possible (which it usually isn't) the refresh button on the taskbar, but nothing happens.

If I create a new tab, and cut and paste the link from the old one to the new one, usually the new one will open right away (after the usual delay). Meanwhile, the old one just sits there.

This has happened before (in much earlier versions of Firefox) in a small percentage of cases, but it is now happening with some frequency. I am currently using version 78.0.1 (64-bit).

Hi everyone,

I can't share my screen when using Google Meet on my Windows laptop. I've been trying to find the menu or options on Firefox with hope I can change it, but no where to be found. I've tried from screen sharing option on Google Meet, but it says "Firefox can not allow permanent access to your screen.".

Can anyone help? I can share my screen when using other application like Zoom, but now with Google Meet app. Here I have the screenshot.

Thank you!

This is my rig: www.bit.do/kanishkpc and I use the latest Firefox Beta (always updated)

I have been using Firefox without the kind of memory usage that I am seeing recently. With ~10/15 tabs open, my PC would never be troubled. The RAM usage wouldn't be at 90% but in the past few days (possibly because of a beta update?) I get 50% RAM usage (8GB) with 15 tabs. Yesterday concurrently loaded ~6 YouTube tabs caused a 90% usage from the app and I had to close it.

The RAM usage might seem normal but Firefox actually never uses that much RAM - or didn't earlier at least.

I used MalwareBytes a few days ago to do a malware scan and it found my PC clean. If I did have malware (I had a bit of scare earlier), how would I detect it?

The Firefox browser on Windows desktop 100% redirects to an isolated and unusable bank login page. No other browser does this. Firefox Android does not do this. I tried clearing cookies / cache, disabled all extensions, safe mode without success. This is very frustrating when trying to use and support Firefox over Brave which never has these issues. In both cases below, the initial site nearly fully loads then redirects. Malware not an issue given very tight PC security and new install of Firefox.

Chase.com -> https://secure03a.chase.com/web/auth/logonbox?lang=en&fromOrigin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chase.com#/logonbox/index/index

schwab.com -> https://lms.schwab.com/Login?clientId=schwab-prospect&startInSetId=1&redirectUri=https://client.schwab.com/login/signon/authcodehandler.ashx&enableappd=false

Both of the redirects contain only the login forms of the main page (eg "Login ID", "Password", "Login" button)

I can't access my Schwab.com website. I can access the website with Chrome and Safari.

Other sites continue to work fine with Firefox.

We provide a free adblocker to our customers. In previous versions of FireFox we could install the extension with our provided MSI installation file. But with the recent updates to FF, it no longer works. What do we need to add or do in order for the MSI to continue to work?

I've manually rearranged my bookmarks in the Library window by following the steps shown in the "Rearranging manually" section of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sort-bookmarks-quickly-find-ones-you-want#w_rearranging-manually

• How can I get the new arrangement to be displayed in the "Recently Bookmarked" window?

or

• Can I delete the "Recently Bookmarked" window so the manually-rearranged bookmarks in the Library window are displayed in the "Recently Bookmarked" window?

I am following directions on this page, which is supposed to be applicable to my version Firefox 78.0.1 on my Windows 10 Pro 64 system:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_adding-download-actions

But when I come to the subheading, "Adding Download Actions", it shows a dialog window which is unlike the one I get. Of the two images I've attached, the article shows the larger while I am offered the smaller. The article says the "Do this automatically" checkbox may be disabled, but doesn't mention it being absent: "Is Do this automatically for files like this from now on disabled? This can happen if the website's server incorrectly specifies the Internet Media type of the file. It also can happen if the server assigns "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the file. Could be the case here. Whether it is or not isn't important. What is important, is adding filetypes. I have no qualms with editing the registry if necessary. Can someone help me out with this?

Hello,

I am running FF 78.0.1 on W10. I had to upgrade to a new laptop from W7 but also running FF.

On my other computer I had a star button that had rounded tips that was located just to the left of the bookmark star. The rounded tip star simply performed the two step action of clicking the bookmark star and then clicking Remove Bookmark, but all with one click.

After moving to this new setup I miss this feature. I have searched this site and the internet and found no references as to how to add a button that performs the actions.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get a button like this with these features?

Thanks in advance for your help!

When I open Firefox, I receive the following: Firefox can’t find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/browser/omni.ja!/chrome/en-US/locale/branding/browserconfig.properties. I have seen the help that suggest I go to "about:config" and the browser.startup.homepage, which I have done. But the suggestion doesn't state what I should do once there. What do I do to the browser.startup.homepage?

I have been trying to login in my hotmail.com and only can do it with chrome. when I enter any shopping page the links don't work. I really like firefox but I'm tired of trying. I am trying to update the browse, it doesn't work ! It seems to me that the mozilla browse i being blocked. thank you for being so good !

78.0.1 just got installed for my Windows 7 desktop. Now the auction tracking popup no longer works. From my ebay purhase history and select tracking on a purchase it used to work and the box would not be too big. Now the box is formatted wrong and the close button is off the screen to the top and the bottom is also off the screen and no way to get to current tracking info on that page or original tracking info.

This used to work. It no longer works. I stopped using Waterfox because it has never worked in Waterfox and now Firefox does not work either.

lately, when i sometimes click on a top site icon, instead of going to that page i just get a blank home page. i have even had that happen when i clicked on the top site icon twice.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox. Which was 78.0.1. After using the browser for a few minutes it crashes, I force stop using the Task Manager. Once this happens I try to start the Firefox and it gives me a corrupt profile message. At this point if I got to my install programs it says the version is 77.0.
