I don't know what is happening, but for the last few weeks my Firefox has been freezing on me, I know the cause is not the website(s) because I can browse them fine with other browsers, also when it freezes it won't let me close it, I even tried to close it using Task Manager, but I get an Access Denied when I click End Task, so I have to restart my PC.

Any ideas qhat can be happening?

I use the email server fastmail.fm inside the Firefox browser on a 2023 Macbook pro. In the main everyday pane (the list of emails) there is a right-hand scroll bar. Frequently that scroll bar is MUCH too long, so that I cannot scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of emails. Both Apple and fastmail.fm are pretty sure they are not responsible. When the scroll bar is too long, I know a work-around, but I would like the problem not to happen.

Recently switched from Chrome to FF on macOS. Running latest Sequoia 15.3.2, Firefox 136.0.2 (aarch64) on a Macbook Air M4.

Problem: When watching a video eg YouTube but including other HTML video, on Firefox where macOS is globally muted and scrubbing through the timeline using the arrow keys, or starting a video mid-way, the audio briefly cuts in (less than a second) and quickly mutes again. I was surprised by this as I expected with macOS globally muted, no application would be able to make any sound.

This behaviour is limited to Firefox and persists with all extensions disabled. macOS is stock with Sound output set to the built-in Macbook Air speakers. No other sound drivers e.g. Soundsource or a USB audio interface have been installed. The laptop itself is brand new and stock.

Can anyone explain why this might be happening?

Websites not loading correct, links do nothing when clicked on. the pictures included are Firefox with broken links and webpage (https://www.mbusa.com/en/home) and two of edge with correctly functioning page and drop down link.

I have tried clearing cache, refreshing Firefox and reinstalling Firefox not sure why this just started happening today, but this also occurs on other websites as well; Marriott will let me right click and open in new tab but not let me click on the link. The Mercedes-Benz (photos) will not even let me open in new tab. any suggestions would be most grateful, tyia

Hi -

I've been using Firefox for 10+ years, and have not touched my add-ons etc for years. I also regularly clear my cache of temp files.

That said, searching my (vast) bookmarks in Firefox used to be lickety-split, very fast. Then, it started slowing down, on both PC (Windows 10). Then, a little while later, it started on my laptop (Macbook with latest IoS).

It's now gotten so bad that I am searching my emails to find the links I'm looking for, rather than putting my browser into a coma for a time, because it freezes.

What is the problem, and how do I overcome it?

I am locked out of different accounts currently. (using desktop, windows 11) While logging in, I get a pop up, from Windows Security, INSERT YOU SECURITY KEY INTO THE USB PORT'. Pop up says request comes from Mozilla Corporation. See attached screenshot

How do I turn this security feature off?

A webpage I just closed recently is not listed in the drop down window from History and also Recently closed tabs. In addition sometimes when I click on the Back arrow, it does not go back and when I have right clicked on the Back arrow, it has shown previous webpages.

Unfortunately, my workflow involves dealing with multiple PDF files per day. However, for some reason, Firefox's behavior with regards to PDF files is inconsistent.

• If I set the Action to Save File, Firefox downloads all PDF files, including those that it can normally open in the browser when I click a link (e.g. files hosted in servers that allow direct access to PDF files). As such, my Downloads folder is cluttered and needs to be cleaned regularly to delete the PDF files that were downloaded even if I could have opened them in the browser.
• If I set the Action to Open in Firefox, Firefox can now open those hosted PDF files in the browser instead of downloading them to disk. However, every time I download a file, Firefox then opens the file in Firefox after downloading, even though I need to edit the PDF file somewhere else.

Would it be possible to set Firefox's behavior so that it does BOTH of these things:

1. Open PDF files that can be opened in the browser without downloading in Firefox without needing to be downloaded, AND
2. Do not open downloaded PDF files in Firefox after downloading is complete.

I want to watch Survivor on cbs.com. I get error code 111. It will not load. Something is blocking. How do I unlock?

Hello, I have some issues with Firefox keeping my logged in my Google account. When I close Firefox it logs me out of Google, but not other websites. I have tried some methods from other threads on this site but still without success. I have the setting for delete cookies on Firefox close to off and have tried Firefox remember history and use custom settings. Thank you for reading this.

Hello,

I recently switched from Brave to FireFox, and notice that my Google search results page doesn't load properly. I'm not sure how long after switching this was an issue. I feel like Google worked fine for a time, but now it's suddenly loading improperly.

I've also grabbed the console output from Google when on a search results page. You can find that here.

I'm using Windows 11 and have never had this issue happen before as far as I can remember. I am aware of a thread with an identical issue, but my issue still persists even after trying their solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have recently built myself a new computer and started running MS Windows 11.

I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox, where after a few days of being installed it takes 10 seconds or more to load (or to load subsequent new windows). It also takes a long time to switch from window to window or to close any windows. Opening and swapping between tabs is immediate.

Here is what I have tried:

- Switching off hardware acceleration. - Clearing the cache, deleting all other data and uninstalling the single add-on I use. - Creating a new profile. - Using Mozilla's own "Refresh Firefox" option. - Trying the beta version. - Probably some other stuff that I've forgotten about.

The ONLY way I can get things running at the proper speed again is to completely uninstall Firefox using an uninstaller (that also deletes all the registry entries), restart the computer, and then reinstall Firefox.

After setting things back up the way I want, Firefox will run nicely for a number of days, then will slow down again to the point where I have to uninstall and reinstall (whilst also deleting the registry entries).

It doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever whether the computer has or hasn't been restarted during that time.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I'm little bit surprised, cos haven't changed anything on my laptop, just turn it on and found out an issue.

Also one moment, I can't go through website routing, always on the start page.

I currently have Firefox to open at startup showing three different websites. When I open a new window, the same three sites are open. I would prefer all new windows to open with one new tab only. I don't much care whether that new tab displays some sort of blank page or home page or a website I have chosen or whatever.

I can't find a setting or an extension which allows this. Can anyone help?

Unable to use paypal on Firefox (136.0) for a couple days. Worked fine previously for years. Click on paypal payment link at multiple websites produces a window with spinning circle which eventually disappears. No transaction is recorded. I've checked with paypal, no issues with account and no record of failed transactions. I've deleted the history cache for paypal. Still doesn't work. Paypal does work with Chrome at same websites.
