Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or ESR 115.13+), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features.

For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

If you have questions about the update or need help with the process, this is the place to ask! Whether you’re just starting or you’ve already updated and want to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s come together, share tips, and ensure we’re all prepared. Drop your questions or insights below!

I recently encountered an issue when attempting to login to The Coventry Building Society website using Firefox (desktop PC & Windows 10):- https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/ It failed to display the page used to enter the one time passcode used for two factor authentication.

After looking on some forums I discovered this is because 'Strict' tracking protection was enabled. If I change to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' then things work as expected.

I also read on a forum that you can leave tracking protection set to 'Strict' but enter the URL for the problem website under 'Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Manage Exceptions'. I tried entering 'https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/' Initially this appeared to work. However, when I tried it again the following day, the page failed to load as before. I had to change back from 'Strict' to 'Custom' and uncheck 'Tracking Content' once again. It's as if the exception URL is ignored in 'Strict' mode.

Am I doing something wrong or is this how it is supposed to work? Do I need to click on the shield icon (to the left of the padlock icon) and turn off 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' every time I visit the website?

I recently upgraded FF on this computer and can no longer sign in to my att.net email account, although I was able to sign in on another computer on FF earlier today. I just get an error message and Att can't help...is there a setting that has me locked out? I can also access email on other browsers just not the FF version on this computer.

I collect images ... when I download an image there is a series of numbers below the image ... over the years I have noticed the numerals have vastly increased in quantity ... there are now as many as 37 numbers under each picture I download ... it is very tedious to reduce or erase these numbers for every image downloaded ... obviously there is some sort of "counter" built into the browser ... Is there any way to reset or eliminate this counter ? ... Thanks ...

Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 5567 CPU: Intel i5-7xxx Op Sys: Ubuntu 24.04.1 Firefox version: Flathub 130.0

For the past 2 weeks Firefox has been repeatedly crashing soon after going on to certain sites or trying to apply my 2FA authenticator add-on.

Suddenly there's a screen shudder and a new window opens, inviting me to submit a crash report. See attached image.

I do not believe that this is down to Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade done at end of August.

But it's enough for me to largely go over to Chromium and Firefox Dev Ed.

If Mozilla don't act on this crashing I can see its market being lost fairly fast.

Today I was no longer able to stream movies on Amazon Prime or Youtube. I watch Amazon movies most nights, watched last night. Tonight I got a message when I tried to continue watching a tv series on Amazon that I've watched for weeks. It said I had to update Firefox and told me how, but when I went thru the process Firefox said it was up to date. On Youtube I got an error msg. 99,999 . What is happening?

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

I want to delete all my bookmarks at once -- I have nearly 1,500. I already asked this question and the response I got showed me how to do this by selecting each one at a time. I want to delete them all, AT ONCE!

Not selecting each one and holding down the CTRL key.

Btw, I already explained this ... so, is there a way. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and not keeping the former settings. But the stupid bookmarks keep coming back!

Been using Firefox since the 90s and been on Mac since 2000s. This problem has been happening for about a year, throughout three macbooks (my old one, a temp one, and my new one) and multiple Firefox updates. I'm always updated and always clear cookies daily.

The failure to move bookmarks I can overcome by rebooting Firefox with a Forced Quit. If I only have to do this every few weeks, then no biggy reinserting all my passwords for all the different sites I use (and no, I don't want to use password managers, I don't trust them)

Today it happened within hours of Force Quitting Firefox, this is too much!!!

The only reason I didn't report this problem earlier is I simply expected an eventual newer version of Firefox to fix this bug.

Firefox 133.0

Normal behaviour: click-drag bookmark within bookmark menu pull-down to position where I want bookmark Failure behaviour: click-drag fails to move bookmark, until I reboot Firefox, then it works again

My page throws errors in Firefox Nightly such as

Expected color but found ‘undefined’. Error in parsing value for ‘background-color’. Declaration dropped. preview.htm:1:1

and

Expected color but found ‘undefined’. Error in parsing value for ‘color’. Declaration dropped. preview.htm:1:1

The page references ten CSS files besides having dozens of its own CSS declarations. The issue is tha the reference provided to the error (:1:1) does not indicate where I can find the error. That is, I don't know which declaration is at fault. Is there some straighforward way to find the declaration in question?

the past 4 producers have told me they cant hear me on google video chat (https://meet.google.com/) i'm on firefox. it worked fine forever, then no one could hear me and i reported it a bunch to google and firefox because it was clearly a firefox issue. someone on their end fixed it. it was working for a while. now its back to people not being able to hear me again when its not a me problem. i keep reporting it and its not being fixed. how do i escalate this? why does this keep having every few months?

zero issues on google chrome browser while video chatting. zero issues on zoom. its firefox's google videochat that people cant hear me. feels like a repeat issue of what happened months ago when the issue wasnt with me. please fix this again

Recently Firefox has been randomly crashing the past 3 weeks multiple times, Is anyone else having this odd issue ? I'll be watching a stream or youtube video and bam out of no where the Browser goes black for like 20 or 30 seconds then crashes. I sent in about 3 crash reports and wondering if the Firefox team is aware of this issue.

For a few days, for unknown reasons I have been unable to access my blog..."Kitchen Connection". This has never occurred before, and it is very annoying. I have been blogging for many years.

Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated. Thank you in anticipation.

I've tried submitting the above a few times...and for whatever reason, it has not gone through to you, it would appear.

Yet another sterling example of why change is usually bad. Why did Firefox, Google and other browsers (though don't know about Duck Duck Go) drop the 100 results per page option? I've always had that enabled and now that it was removed it makes searching extremely tedious and time wasting. Please offer a SIMPLE AND QUICK way to restore this option ASAP. Thank you.

I've asked about this before but got no help Firefox is my browser of choice. Occasionally, I find in necessary to use Chrome.

The vast majority of time, when are both are active at the same time, one or both crash, like today. Firefox closed abruptly, then the crash report appeared. I have the crash report. Chrome froze up, and had to be shut down in Task Manager.

It only occurs in this scenario. Rarely does Firefox crash otherwise.

Can someone please advise where to go to get help?

I did some googling first and it seems to be an on and off issue mozilla has had with years. Anyway, whenever I play a video (be it youtube, twitter, instagram, even gifs on twitter actually) the video will often mess up and become a chaotic jumbled garbled up mess of green with junk artifacts over the video. The audio will play fine. It's like watching a scrambled TV station from a 90s bootleg cablebox, but green.

This issue doesn't exist in any of my other browsers.

I'd love to continue supporting Firefox instead of Chrome, but this is a persistent issue across the entire internet, so it's kinda obvious I need to stop using Firefox until this is patched. Thanks.

I can login to B of A and do everything except reach the make payment page on my PC desktop. I've cleared cache and cookies per B of A instructions but it doesn't help. I can get there on my iPad's Firefox, however. They said to contact you.

As of last week, FF works for a few minutes on startup, but then when you open a new tab and try to go to a site you just get the dancing period, nothing opens. Already open tabs with sites generally still work, but sometimes crash the tabs after a bit. We've tried starting without extensions, uninstalling and reinstalling FF, changing the profile, logging in the PC (Win 10, up to date) with a different login, running SFC and DISM on the PC, and just about everything else.

Opening the FF console shows this message when the tab just rocks the period:

WindowsJumpLists: Failed to fetch favicon for https://online.adp.com/signin/v1/?APPID=WFNPortal&productId=80e309c3-7085-bae1-e053-3505430b5495&returnURL=https://workforcenow.adp.com/&callingAppId=WFN&TARGET=-SM-https://workforcenow.adp.com/theme/admin.html NS_ERROR_FAILURE: WindowsJumpLists.sys.mjs:257:29

Edge works perfectly (and unfortunately, I'm having to use Edge to enter this ticket.). Other applications don't have any issues. I'm not having this issue on 2 other similar PCs I have that run FF, only this one.

Any ideas of what might be the issue with FF on this PC? Thanks, Alex
