Firefox Community Forum

For the past few weeks Firefox has been crashing and freezing often. Crashes are worst when trying to access Protonmail, which almost always crashes the tab instantly. Freezes happen most often when browsing Reddit, and also when watching Youtube, but crashes and freezes can happen on almost any website.

I have tried changing profiles, refreshing and uninstalling/reinstalling, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse over time.

Here are some recent crash reports:

Will be grateful if someone can help me get to the bottom of this Thanks

Every time I try to view a pdf file on Firefox I can view the file but in the lower right 1/4 of the screen I get a graphic of a page with shaded areas representing lines with writing on them. There is a type of pen cursor moving along the line.

This happens with different pdfs - from the internet and from my saved files. This doesn't happen on another computer with Firefox.

I've deleted and redownloaded Firefox an number of times, also tried troubleshoot mode - no improvement. Virus scanned, restarted a number of times.

Pdfs work on edge and chrome and reader with no problem.

I have a screenshot.

Any Ideas? Thanks

Asking after trying way too many things FIREFOX 135.0.1 (64-bit) lates version and fully updated.

Playing Youtube Videos fails as the video keeps loading forever.

It happens randomly but often. It could happen trying to play the video the first time (keeps loading forever) or if the video is playing ok and you try to search any frame in the video or jump some time in the video, the frame stops and keeps loading forever.

I suspect it could be an extension because if I use Firefox in troubleshooting mode it works. However I tried to disable extensions one by one until none was enabled and still fails. Tried all options in the proxy. BRAVE works ok (but I installed it fresh to check another browser, I still prefer Firefox)

The issue happens only on Youtube. Youtube premium. Images attached of an example video that got stuck and loading and the list of extensions that I have, I tried to DISABLE ALL thes EXTENSIONS and still fails (???)

Lost Bookmarks after Microsoft upgrade(?) Since I'm using the latest version of Windows I don't know what to call what happened that came by way of Microsoft. So far as I know, I'm the only one reporting this. It would seem that if this was a change initiated by Microsoft it should have affected millions of users.

When using chat software, there may be shortcut key conflicts, and the sidebar will still open when using shortcut keys even after being closed.

In the settings, the AI robot is turned off, but when using shortcut keys, the options for the AI robot will still be turned on by itself and cannot be turned off.

Firefox crashes randomly during video playback. I've submitted over 10 crash reports. Here's the two latest crash report (which includes my device's hardware information): https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/81eb1750-1dd0-490d-9eb1-d3c2c0250224 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6682a7f2-836a-4365-938e-c9ab20250224

I'm on Fedora 41 + gnome, but this issue persisted even in Windows 11, which caused BSOD therefore I made the switch to linux (At least in linux it doesn't crash the whole system, only firefox). If you need any additional information let me know. I can run journalctl/dmesg if required.

I've already tried things like restarting in safe mode (troubleshoot mode), refreshing firefox etc. Didn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Due mostly to upgrades in the app software, it's necessary to restart Firefox on occasion. Also, it's necessary due to OS upgrades. While the Restore Previous Session is a wonderful feature, it arbitrarily (and properly, by default) forgets all of the Private Tabs. But, there are times when I'd like to save some or all of the Private Tabs I've got open. A 'settable' feature to 'Remember Private Tabs during Restart' would be a tremendous asset at times.

I don't have any idea who is the owner of 'solitity.co.in', but these pop ups are annoying and know that I click on any of the options - I will be in trouble for other things these pop ups can do to my computer.

I would like to know exactly who is the party for this virus or adware were able to get it on my computer.

I would like some simple instructions on how to delete this spam from my computer.

Samsung Frame 85" 2023 with GTX 1050Ti GPU, HP G4 SFF, i5-8500, Win 11 Pro 26100.3194

TV signal, and audio cuts out (black screen) when using mouse arrow to drag scroll in side bar. Also gives a loud audible "click" as sound is temporarily cut out. ( Most probably whole HDMI signal is cut)

Black screen bug happens randomly with You tube with no mouse or keyboard action, but 100% repeatable with this website when scrolling :

Please advise how to fix

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?

Firefox crashes every day or so on my home computer. The most common error message is "kmode exception not handled." I've tried the suggested fixes. Nothing helps. The crashes are not being recorded in "about crashes" or in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\. So it seems the crash reporter has to be fixed before the problem causing the crashes can be identified. Firefox does not crash on my office computer and no other program causes my home computer to crash. Thank you.

does Firefox no longer support sites like The Guardian, like the Atlantic, other news outlets. it never lets me sign in but returns to the home page after signing in with email and password. What do I do?

I just installed the MozillaVPN extension on my Windows10 laptop but can't use it because when I select the tool, it tells me to download and install Mozilla VPN - which is already running ! I've tried closing and re-strarting Firefox, and stopping & starting the VPN manually, but that doesn't make any difference.

Hi,

I've been getting a glitch while typing emails in Outlook Web Access for the last couple of days where superscript type in dates looks like the image attached. It was working fine until sometime this week. I've tried using Microsoft Edge and the issue doesn't happen so I'm thinking it might be browser specific.

I'm running Firefox Version 135.0.1 (aarch64) on a Mac Studio with Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70).

Can you advise please?

Thank you very much.

Calum.
