Firefox-Hilfeforum

Firefox was auto-updated to 85 yesterday on a Windows 7 computer I use regularly. After the update it will no longer print when I use the print icon. I have to use Ctrl-P. When I click the print icon in the toolbar (or select it from the drop-down in the menu), the preview window comes up, at which point I hit the Print button. Then the print dialog box (where I choose the printer, page count, etc) appears next to the preview, as it always did. I set the print options as I always do, hit the Print button in the dialog box and it flashes but does not print. The preview does not go away and the print dialog box does not go away. As if that's not enough, it locks Firefox up. I can still make selections in the dialog box but I cannot close it and clicking buttons on it or on the Firefox window in the background does nothing. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and end the Firefox process. If I use Ctrl-P the preview does not come up (which appears to be the only difference between the two printing methods), I make the same selections in the dialog box, hit the Print button, and it works... FYI - This same computer was used daily for printing from Firefox before the 85 update with NO problems. The Firefox update is the only thing that has changed and this problem is unique to Firefox. (I switched to Chrome to confirm.) I have tried restarting the machine and starting Firefox in safe mode (and clearing cache, although I doubt that would do anything) and the problem persists.

Hi ,

I am happy that now I can use Firefox with fillable /saveable pdf files most of the time. Unfortunately sometime I have a problem if later I open the pdf with other software: I filled the first 3 line of https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/t3ret/t3ret-fill-20e.pdf and when I saved it and reopened with Microsoft Edge and Xodo some number are missing in the field "Trust account number". I refuse to use Acrobat Reader. Then I can not change the type of fonts or put bold. Could you please fix it?

Have a nice day

After update to firefox 80 sometimes random pages do not load. They open as blank white page with refresh button being inactive. Only way to solve this problem is close page, open new tab and try to load this page again.

This is completely random, happening on all sites, opened from links on other sites, bookmarks or speed dial. No idea what could cause it. Maybe firefox has some problems with creating new process for new tab if my process limit is set to 1?

Hi I have tried to upload 3 files of around 40GB each several times in dropbox - no success. Small file of 40 KB is fine. Upload starts fine, but after some hours I am getting error "something went wrong while uploading this file. There was a server error during the upload request". setup: dropbox in FF on windows10 2004 64 bit laptop.

Pls. see https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Uploading-File-via-Website-Gets-Server-Error/m-p/489913#M187413 for details Any suggestion? br Peter Lauritzen

Hi! Recently I started gaming online on steam but it keeps on crashing in the Mozilla browser. Prior to this I had been using Steam on chrome & it seemed to work fine. Any idea what's going on? You can reach me at my mail redfieldjames380@gmail.com or alternatively at here.

There is a site that I've been accessing for months from firefox. Today, all my attempts to access it result in "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access this resource." If I bring up a safari browser, the exact same URL loads fine. I didn't change any firefox configuration settings. Any ideas?

I keep getting this Yellow Message - A Web Page Is Slowing Down Your Browser. I was getting it with Windows 7. I only had 6GB RAM, so thought it was because I kept running out of RAM. Got a new computer, HP Z230 Tower Desktop PC - Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 3.20GHz, 32GB DDR3, 480GB SSD, with Windows 10 Prom, and I'm still getting that message. I did all the suggestions on this website to no avail: https://blogs.systweak.com/a-web-page-is-slowing-down-your-browser/ Any suggestions for stopping this?

This worked fine yesterday --- version 84 ----got the notice of a new version and did the upgrade and restarted Firefox. Been crashing ever since.

Running the same Extensions, same profile, same computer, etc. Same thing happens in Safe Mode.

Sometimes I get the ugly tab closed --- send report and "Restore Previous Tab" But it does not restore the previous tab.

Oh, and I do not have a Chrome folder, etc.; no special changes from the stock Firefox.

Could this be a bug in the new release, version 85??

Thanks

Hi I do not know why but since today I have a black screen when I launch firefox. The screen is also black when I go in the option... I tried to uninstall/reinstall and it didn't fix the problem. I also tried to repair firefox but it was also useless. My graphic drivers are updated btw. Any ideas ?

Hi guys,

I am experiencing this issue for quite a long time, after certain Windows 10 update Facebook on Firefox becomes really unusable, it is really slow, specially on features when there is typing involved. That means Messenger, commenting posts on Facebook, creating new posts etc. But even other stuff is slow as it is scrolling down, going through photos etc.

This is happening on my both PCs, my CPUs are Ryzen 5 3600, and Intel I7-4770, and GPU GTX 1660S, GTX 1050Ti, so I don`t see that hardware should bottleneck this in any case. In the meantime, I did restart with Safe mode, refreshed Firefox, even reinstalled which does not help. I have tried with other browsers, Facebook works fine there. Currently I am using latest Firefox 84.0.2 64bit on both PCs, and Windows 10 is 20H2 version.

Dear Mozilla support,

I have to switch on or off my company's VPN access several times a day, and each time I switch the VPN, the Firefox simply refuses to use a new connection, behaving as there is no internet connection at all, forcing me to reset the browser each time so it could "accommodate to a new network environment". My company gives employees the Cisco AnyConnect SW for establishing the VPN access to the company's infrastructure.

Are you able to "fix" this please, as I haven't experienced this behavior at other browsers as well (Opera, IE)?

The information box that pops up when you search for "up arrow text" (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=up+arrow+text) from Wikipedia is bugged in a way that when I try to highlight the first two rows of text, the cursor needs to be one line higher than it should be

I do not have sound only in facebook videos. Yt and other video portals are working fine. Other browsers don't have this problem either. When playing a video on fb in the mixer, it does not show that mozilla is generating sound. What can I do to fix it?

I frequently get a pop-up indicating that Norton Password Manager has along running script and my webpage is very slow as a result. I have removed it and re-added it. What else can I do to stop the long-running script? This only happens when I use Norton 360. Is there some kind of conflict between the two?

I have two laptops..both W10 64 bit both Firefox version 84.0.2. On works fine the other just will not complete the loading of Farmville-Two on Zynga . I have tried to go page by page and make sure the two laptops have identical settings and they do as best as I can find. By any chance does anyone have any suggestions I can try. I have done all the suggestions From Zynga..cleared cache, deleted web content, rebooted, reinstsalled their Launcher+ program so you dont need Flash and flash is disabled, I did virus and Malwarebytes scans, even did a sfc/ scannnow, I changed the Firefox settings to allow pop ups and set to privacy to standard. It starts to load but the page stops and locks up and I am left with a white window on the left where the farm should load ...the laptop to a point sometimes I have to reboot to close the window. It used to work just fine. I know my way around a bit but not an expert..just cant play on one of the laptops..frustrating. It started about a week ago. All other programs seem to work ok. Appreciate any help..Thank you.

FYI, running Windows 7 and Microsoft Office (including Outlook) 2007. (Yes, I know I should upgrade, but some of the other programs I use will not work on Windows 8 or 10, and I don't want to spend a couple thousand dollars to get newer versions.) With that in mind, every now and then I get an email message in Outlook with a hyperlink that I cannot open. This does not happen on all messages, just some of them. I can put the cursor over the item, and the hyperlink address shows up, but I cannot open it, select it, copy it, or anything else. Sometimes I can tell the message to "open in browser" (which unfortunately opens it in IE), but then I can click on the item, and either (1) tell it to open in a new tab in IE, or (2) select "Properties", copy the address in the Properties window, and then paste the address into Firefox. (A lot of effort just to open a hyperlink, yes?) Any suggestions? Thanks.
