Firefox-Hilfeforum

I use Ubuntu 14.04 version, and I recently updated firefox manualy, an it says that it is updated, but when i check in the About firefox section it says that it is still on version 66. And i can't use firefox anymore because it crashes constantly. But it is updated. How can i fix this?

WHEN I CLICK ON A LING IN A WEB SITE-IT DOES NOT OPEN. I HAVE TO RIGHT CLICK AND THEN CLICK OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW EVEY TIME. IF I CANT FIX, I WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO USING GOOGLE

It is insistent.

I have found a 6 year old post that uses links that firefox no longer uses: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1092276

The instructions there no longer seem to work, I deleted cookies, closed firefox and ran CCleaner, it is still always redirecting me to .hk.

The site looks different, shitty and keeps asking me to log in or agree to some bullshit settings.

Very strange, has anyone seen this before?

In most standard Windows applications, the title bar and tab colour follows the default Windows settings, e.g. (in my case) the title bar and tab colour of active application windows is blue. This is true even in Thunderbird. Since FF 89, title bar and tabs are something between white and light gray, which is extremely user-un-friendly. FF developer team should return to the previous colour scheme. Yes, I know the circumstances of free software but this is NO excuse to alienate millions of users. Developers that change fully functionable software just, well, just to CHANGE it should consider that they are doing WRONG. Could anyone tell them? I am just user, not developer and I am not willing to learn developer tools like BugZilla just for this simple guiding principle.

every time I open coles online shopping a stupid thing says the page will slow my computer and stops the page from loading can you piss this stupid thing off that was in a recent upgrade you have just taken browsers back 20 years with this stuff up. My coles online was working perfectly a week ago now I can't use it at all fix your browser firefox.

This happens regularly for me, about 3 or 4 times per day. It used to be exclusively when I'm visiting https://translate.google.com. Today, however, it is also happening on twitter.com.

When it happens however, it has always been when I'm navigating to one of those domains in open tab that I was using. Also, it has always been when I'm relying on the bar's autocomplete (for example, when I start typing "tra" and the rest is auto completed to translate.google.com) and I tap the Enter key. No amount of refreshes fixes the problem even if I disable cache (I disabled it from the network inspector in the web developer tools). There's only one warning message in the console saying "This error page has no error code in its security info". Also, even if I change URLs while under any of these 2 domains in that "broken" tab, I keep getting a blocked page. Changing to another domain, for example, google.com works. For example, If I change from https://translate.google.com to: - https://twitter.com gives a broken page - https://twitter.com/firefox gives a broken page - https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=Hello%20word&op=translate gives a broken page - https://support.mozilla.org works

However, if I just go to the url bar and tap "Alt" + "Enter", the page successfully opens in a new tab.

I'm using Firefox on Mac.

I am not able to get Ebay Philippines to display correctly using Firefox. It works with Microsoft edge. I have the latest updates but to no avail. Today, when trying to reply to an email on the main Ebay site it also had the same problem. I also tried to log in to Lazada and that is also corrupted. Its getting to the point I will have to stop using Firefox. Any suggestions.

Greetings! Im a daily (and nightly) user of firefox nightly, both on Windows10 and Android. The last few months i have had a recurring issue when using youtube on my PC. No problems on android.

When i start the browser, and enter youtube, it works fine for a handful of videos, then suddenly i get an error message; "Connect to the internet" - You are without internet connection, check your connection" My connection is fine, and all other webpages works perfectly, even the youtube menu is still active, and i have figured that if i click on "Your videos" in the menu, it enters the Youtube creator mode without problems at all, while other video-links are "blocked" by this annoying issue. If i click a youtube link simultaneously as i load the youtube (Studio) creator mode, (or right after), the video plays as it should for a handful of videos, then i get the same message again, and i have to restart the browser to load another video link. I have tried to disable all add-ons i run, like adblocks and you name it, but the issue still remains. I also have problems loading the youtube comment-section while this goes on, and if i like a video and reload the page, the "like" is gone.

Does anyone know what i can do to solve this issue? Any solution is highly appreciated!

PS; I can provide screenshots if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to undo an unwanted update of Firefox after it has replace a 32 bit with 64 bit service and has eliminated every thing I had on installed over the past four or five years?

Hello,

It is suspected that latest version of Firefox version 78.11.0esr (64-bit) is causing operathing systems to crash. I have not seen it on Windows platform as I am not using it. Platforms I am using are OSX and XUbuntu. The error occurs lingering on a site for a very long time. First it starts getting screen graphic errors like, some pixels are not being updated correctly. Then after a while screen starts to flicker, in a massive state, like the graphic processor is broken. In some cases with command key strokes one is able to kill Firefox, screen is back to normal and one can continue working. Facebook is the site that most commonly is causing error, but there are also other sites.

Using Firefox, I cannot look at the reviews on Costco.com; using Chrome, no problem. Recent problem. I want Firefox, NOT Chrome.

Similar, but perhaps unrelated: On MSN.com, I find videos offered by CNN. The present video never finishes loading and I canot watch it. If I skip that, I will see the next ad, and then the next video will run. A bit frustrating because I can never see the video that caught my eye in the first place. (I cannot get back to it.)

Thanks for reading; thanks for any suggestions.

For the last 6 months, or more, Firefox is slow to launch and load content (until "X" icon becomes "refresh").

I've been working more diligently on this in the last few days. The first thing I did was to run full antivirus and malware scans. NOTHING was discovered. I then found some articles about the problem, the highlights of which presented 3 major points:

• That a dense cache could be influential,

   >> I've always made it a point of clearing cache every week or 2 anyway. That

• Add-ons could slow things down,

   >> I uninstalled mt LastPass and AdBlock Plus add-ons (the only 2 I've ever used). And finally, that

• Security software often instigates scans on browser-related files when FF is launched.

   >> When I got started this morning, I reset my Malwarebytes Antimalware NOT to start with Windows.

I launched Firefox again after restarting the machine, and there was little improvement. It takes 45 to 60 seconds, now, from the FF icon click until the window comes up and the home page (Yahoo, for me) fully loads. Meaning that the 'stop loading "X" ' becomes the 'refresh "left-loop". That's down from 2 minutes a few days ago, but it still seems to me that that's still much longer than it should take.

Please be so kind as to share any thoughts you might have for speeding Firefox up for me.

Thank you!

I am unable to connect to the Nord VPN website or the Express VPN website because of a security issue with the Firefox Browser and I am unable to bypass the security and go to the site anyway. Here is what the message said: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.nordvpn.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.nordvpn.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

How can I connect to these websites?

Hello,

So I have a question why does Firefox search up a website when I put in a word instead of A URL so is there a way to fix it? let me know if you need more information I happy to give it to you thank you.

Hi, To start with I love your browser been using and recommending it for many years. I am a service provider and have a customer that started getting this in her Firefox browser. Started a few weeks ago. Hard to describe the attachment will show more. There is a image box link. No image shows in any of them but clicked on it does go to the url. The url address is right after it. They are partially imposed over part of the description of the web site. Now my Firefox browser on my machine does not look like this. Is this a setting I need to disable to return it to normal and remove this little image box at the beginning? Or is there a problem with the browser? Thank you for your time and help. SEBassman
