I have not been working for a while this is because I have been recently been told I have Altzimers and I don't have long to live. At the moment My head is not thinking as it shouldn't be and is all over the place . My signup for the original orders was accompanied with the payment for 1 years subscription. then I was blocked by yourselves(which I managed to clear) Then you kept sending me a message that was the same as the previous one I got so fed up I paid again.But the message started again and eventually I paid again. I managed to get a contact address and contacted you by email. All I can do in the short term is to Get the details of payments and send it to you and hope we can sort it out.

Though I think it is strange that you dont have contact details

Hi, first time writing here so I don't know what to do or expect. I recently received a warning by Firefox that as of March 14, 2025 Firefox will end support for Windows 8 (8.1 and below too) and that the last version compatible with Windows 8 is Firefox 115ESR (up to which? Before in Settings Firefox wanted to update from 115.0.3 to 115.0.3ESR now it says 115.1ESR - is this still ok for Windows 8? Are all 115 versions ok or not? Please help because I'm not a computer person, at all, with far too many gaps). Also, what happens after March 14, 2025? Will I be able to keep using Firefox 115ESR version even if I won't be getting any more updates or not? Also, I have extensions (4 ad blockers+Ghostery+VideoDownload helper) which keep updating and the warning said that extensions may not work properly anymore - so I wonder if you know if these above mentioned will in fact be affected or not, because I don't know whether to update them after March 14, 2025 or not because I'm not sure how to go back to a previous version should they not work. Too, I would like to say that you suggest switching to a newer Windows ver. (10 or above) but not everyone really wants to for one reason or another. Personally I find myself fine with Win 8 so far and don't like Win 10 while Win 11 may be too much for my old computer and I cannot afford to buy another. Also I would not attempt to upgrade to Win 10 without help (considering that others more expert had difficulties making it work or reverting back to Win 8) help that I do not have, at all - that's why I'm here now, and I don't really understand how this works either, so... Anyhow, reading on that warning page that after March 14, 2025 you would reconsider your position regarding support for Win 8.1, 8 and below (and knowing also that Chrome and Edge have ended their support - effectively leaving users stranded or forcing them to upgrade to a Windows version unwillingly) I would like to plead with you NOT to follow their example and help us, your supporters, keep using Firefox (which you say is for the people) - like I said many of us have good reasons for keeping on using Win 8.1 or below, so won't you please, PLEASE help us keep Firefox as our browser so that we too may keep using Internet? I know technology goes forward and staying behind makes all more difficult but not all can afford the same things and since I have found that there are a few of us yet I am asking to PLEASE not abandon us as others have done (leaving us to manage the best we can) but consider our plight (I know it might be a challenge for the engineers and developers but surely you can find a solution at least to allow us to keep using Firefox). Thank you.

I have had this issue for a couple weeks now with youtube. When running in a private tab it will frequently not accept input for something like 10 seconds at a time. Playback works totally fine, no real stuttering or lag in the video, but pressing pause will generally take significant time to actually pause. This is true of all other inputs including keyboard commands, clicking on links, right click, etc. It seems to have a rolling window where inputs are accepted because if I wait for clicking play to work I can also quickly change the volume or right click a link. It'll even accept the input if I'm in a different window (like if I hit play then click over to my second monitor). This doesn't seem to happen in a normal window, only private. All other firefox tabs work totally fine with none of this lag, nor do I see any other issues on my computer. I haven't noticed any spikes in hardware usage nor am I using anywhere near all of my PC's resources.

I'm only running 2 extensions I think would interfere here (ublock origin and enhancer for youtube) and I've tried running with them disabled to no effect. All my extensions are up to date, as are my browser and OS, this has persisted through restarts (though it seems to take some time to come into effect after a restart). I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and clearing the cache.

So yeah, no idea what's wrong. It's not like unusable, just really annoying. Thanks to anyone that helps.

Hi,

I am developing a website of my own and in that website I want to implement a handler for Content-Security-Policy violation reports. I want to test if this handler works as I expect and therefore I have configured a webpage such that is will report CSP violations (I see them in the web developer console) and I want to have them sent to my application's CSP-violation handler.

In my test environment, the application is running on localhost. I have run my web application both on HTTP and HTTPS (with a self-signed certificate), but in neither case Firefox is sending any reports to my application.

My CSP headers look as follows: Content-Security-Policy: report-uri http://localhost:5281/csp-violation;base-uri 'none';default-src 'self';form-action 'none';frame-ancestors 'none';report-to csp-viol;script-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg';style-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-9FuQ3NuVoW66DT1ZU4w9EPSymnHE1/hg' Reporting-Endpoints: csp-viol=http://localhost:5281/csp-violation Report-To: {"group":"csp-viol","max_age":10886400,"endpoints":[{"url":"http://localhost:5281/csp-violation"}]}

When I run my application using HTTPS, all HTTP in the endpoints will also be HTTPS.

I have verified that when I post something by hand to http://localhost:5281/csp-violation, my handler is executed, so that is not the issue. I believe that Firefox is just not sending the reports. Is there a way to configure Firefox such that it will send the CSP violation reports to my application when run on HTTP(S) on localhost?

Sincerely, Marcel

Dear Sirs,

For at least the last two weeks, I have experienced a lot of trouble working with Mozilla Firefox. Just reading my emails is an arduous task.

It crashes, I lose internet connection, it does not "respond," etc., and Symantec Norton 360 cannot find out WHY! I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it, and it is still unreliable.

Before I have to resort to using another browser, can YOU tell me what is going on. I have a Dell desktop, using Windows 10 Pro (obtained in 2018). Firefox is my default browser. I also have Google Chrome installed.

Please help!

Sincerely yours,

Victoria-Ann Bonanni [email address]

WTF IS WRONG WITH MOZILLA?

So, I'm browsing a website (shopping), going back and forth through its menus/categories and also opening tabs in the background, then every few minutes the whole browser goes blank/grey and the tabs "dead"... they're not closed just blank and I cannot go backwards or refresh... I have to close the tab and reopen it from history...

Did I explain this clearly? I've been putting up with this for 2 weeks, but now I've had it... I'm staring at a blank tab I cannot revive - refresh or back button don't work, AND another tab which is displaying a "Loading wheel" and also frozen...

I've only recently started using Firefox (I use 2 other browsers above this - each with a distinct purpose, and also started giving-in to Edge as a 4th, despite being opposed to everything Microsoft for 20y).

If I continue to experience this in the next couple of weeks, bye bye Mozilla...

Hello, I clicked on a vendor link with a email on Outlook webmail and was refused a connection. Not even given a choice to bypass it. This is a reputable vendor associated with my professional work. Please let me know a work around for this browser behavior.

Received email in Chinese saying

Mozilla VPN 有新的登录活动 (Mozilla VPN has new logins) 您的 Mozilla 账户有登录活动 "There is activity on your Mozilla account"

Nothing about new login or new device added. I changed my password. When I logged into my account I checked activity and all I can see at that time was "Account login initiated".

When changing the password I also briefly saw something about data being reset, but clicked off page before I could fully read it. It's been years since I've used the account. I can't see any data showing up in my firefox sync, not even sure I had any. How do I see what may have been compromised?

Thanks for any help

Hi, Recently had to reset my Pc and on installing firefox I find that I am unable to keep open the tabs I use daily, I keep getting the -close 7 tabs - I do not want to close my tabs on closure. Firefox always used to close - No asking to close tabs - and when I reopen all my tabs were still tghere. Whats Changed?

Hi, I'm running into an issue where when I download a CSV-file from a website it's downloading as a pdf when it should be downloading as a csv. If I after the download rename the file back to the csv-extension, I can open it in Excel. Any ideas? I run Linux on my laptop.

I was able to login using my google acc some time ago but now when i try to login using google, it wont and just keeps buffering. this happens on every website i am trying to login using google.But when doing so on Chrome it works fine.

Firefox will not load my Yahoo mail accounts. Keep getting an error message: "Somethings gone Wrong". I have no problem loading the Yahoo mail accounts through my Microsoft account. Very frustrating, may have to abandon Firefox.
