Reinstalled Win 10 pro on my i7 4th gen 16gb RAM 250 SSD copied firefox profile folder which brings back all my windows tabs bookmarks etc

I now get tabs crashing constantly

Before the reformat I used Norton 360 at mostley default settings for over 6 months with no problems,

tried turning things off in Norton

Norton 360 is reinstalled: browser extensions, password manager, norton homepage, norton safeweb, norton safesearch are all not installed Browser and browser data protection is on, VPN is off turned off auto protect and smartfirewall

use to use adblockplus and privacy badger firefox add ons with no problem these are now off

Ive refreshed startup and cleared startup cache

maybe when I copied the profile across it missed some files however I did zip the old profile folder and copied its a big file 690MB unzipped

not sure what to do now

Hi ! I am using the latest firefox on win11 (latest updates). Since approx 2-3 days whenever I try to comment on youtube or edit an existing comment I cannot see what I am typing. I can still type and commit, the comment will appear and I it will contain what I typed. But when doing it initially it is invisble to me. If I reply to a comment I can see what I type.

Below 1st image shows a comment box I am actively typing in. Everything is invisible. 2nd image shows when I open a reply, you can clearly see the prompt and when I start typing it shows my input

i was learning digital marketing from udemy on your browser and two chapters voices are overlapping. Beacuse of that its getting difficult for me to understand a topic.

I just installed Firefox. What I noticed right away while using it was that fonts were very blurry/hard to read on all web pages, and even in firefox's menus and URL bar.

I attached two pictures, one is a screenshot in Firefox, and the other is a screenshot in Brave. (All chromium web browsers I have tried don't have firefox's font problem)

A continuous stream of "antivirus" via tomp3.cc popups started appearing today on my Win 10 desktop. Although there is a "Dismiss" button, once pushed the popups return immediately. I have not changed any settings, added/deleted programs. My Firefox is up to date. I have run Windows security and my Bit Defender program with no detection(s) noted.

Recently found a problem of high GPU usage when watching videos. I have encounter this on other websites but YouTube is the most prevalent. Currently running is a NVIDIA 4060ti and the percentages I am getting range from a low of 15 to the high of 28. Hoping to gather some information on the topic and would love some explanation. I have already tried with no extensions enabled but had no luck in stopping the issue. Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 10 desktop.

Firefox version 132.0.1 Thunderbird version 128.4.0esr O/S: PCLinuxOS Debian Edition (Debian 12 Bookworm) with KDE 5

I am getting a "Click" sound effect when I click Menu Bar items in both Firefox and Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, Folders in Thunderbird and some other items in both. I can not find a way to turn it off. It does not happen in any other applications, including other web browsers that are forked from Firefox, so I think it is a Mozilla problem.

This is a relatively new installation that was set up copying settings from Firefox on Windows 10 using Firefox Sync. I did not copy anything from Windows Thunderbird because my email is IMAP which brings in everything from the server. I am not getting this clicking sound in Windows Firefox and Thunderbird.

I am GUESSING that the sound effect is due to an Accessibility setting that is buried somewhere, maybe in one of the text-based "about...." configuration files, but I don't know where to look. I have gone through the Linux KDE System Settings and the Settings in Firefox and Thunderbird several times trying to find it. I will note that I set up Firefox and Thunderbird in the same Linux distro on a laptop also using Firefox Sync and do not have this problem with the laptop. Can anyone tell me where to look to get rid of this irritating noise?

Thank You!

I have two installations of Firefox. One windows10 and one Linux. BOTH are doing the same thing on this site https://www.rapidonline.com/

I cannot scroll using the mouse roller. Page up/down doesn't work. Middle click and drag doesn't scroll either. BUT, for the briefest of time, BEFORE the Firefox shield in the address bar, I can scroll.

Hovering over the blue shield shows the text... Blocking social media trackers, cross site tracking cookies, and fingerprinters. Turning the Firefox protection OFF makes no difference, other than the shield is white and struck out. Disabling uBlock origin, or malwarebytes makes no difference. Both my installations do the same BUT, I called a pal who also uses Firefox on Linux and windows and he reports all is well and he uses uBlock, but not malwarebytes.

I have not actively messed with my settings on either platform. Oh, I was told to clear the cache. No joy.

Why does Firefox think it is blocking stuff but turning the protection off makes no difference? Why should two separate installations behave identically? Why does my pal's Firefox using Linux work on this site 100% ? I feel like I am going insane...

I see this as a performance problem, and one that I'd hoped would be solved by now, since others brought it up in an Apple Forum.

When using iCloud Notes, the list always used to have empty circles/radio buttons to click on when done. They have all become black squares instead. Apparently this happened, according to a poster, with version 131.0. If so, it is still a problem with version 132.0.2, which I currently have.

Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255794426?sortBy=rank where this appears in the Apple Forum.

Hello,

For years I've been able to watch a video in one tab and open a new tab. I could hear the video playing while I opened a new tab. Suddenly today the video pauses as soon as I click away to a NEW tab.

Oddly enough, if I have any other tabs already opened, when I first click on one of those, I can then open a new tab without the video pausing. It's only if I go directly from a YouTube video (that's already playing) that it pauses when trying to open a new tab. Odd.

Why is this happening? and so suddenly? At least I have a work around but this is so weird.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks, Andre'a

BTW - Is "Settings" the best topic? or should I've chosen something else (like Performance)?

Over the past several days, Firefox has been randomly shutting down. When reopened, my previous tabs have disappeared. While setting up my laptop on a docking station today, I had to reboot several times. Every time it reopened my previously opened tabs are gone. Yes, I have Settings set to re-open Firefox with previously opened tabs. It has worked beautifully for me for years. Does anyone know what is going on? What I can do?

Firefox does not seem to be properly configured for Wayland on KDE Plasma 6.x systems. The generic "Wayland" logo appears in task switcher instead of the Firefox logo. Firefox is the only program I have with this issue. Setting desktop name (org.mozilla.firefox) as a property in the Window and Application Manager settings does not resolve the issue.

Yesterday I uploaded a bunch of pdfs on my wordpress website and they display the title, image captions, byline and other miscellaneous text, but NOT BODY text, incorrectly on Windows Firefox and ONLY on Windows Firefox. Mac works fine, Windows Chrome, Edge work fine but Windows Firefox displays the affected text as individual boxes with letters in them. This may be broader than the font settings on one computer as I have replicated the issue on several PCs. Interesting though that when I download the embedded pdf, and it's displayed in the page, the fonts ARE CORRECT!!! You can see the issue here: https://davegibsonimages.com/air-force-vs-navy/ or you can look at the screenshot I took. I've contacted the developer of the embedder plugin and they are seeing a 404 error for the affected pages, which is NOT replicated elsewhere, but since it returns a 200, they're convinced that it's not a problem with their plugin. Godaddy is of course saying all is well on their end. I've cleared all the available caches, to no avail, and of course refreshed pages.

Several sites I use regularly (for instance, The Guardian) use recaptcha as part of the login process. It fails on Firefox, though I can log in on Chrome. I dislike Chrome, and prefer Firefox for several reasons, including that it is easier on my eyes. I note that there are many complaints describing the same thing that I experience: recaptcha fails to load, or there is simply a blue circle turning in perpetuity with nothing happening. I have removed recent cookies etc, but no change.

There are some sites that use recapcha that I can sign in on using Firefox with no problem. I am wondering if there are different versions of captcha? This started the same week both Microsoft and Firefox updated. Firefox has updated several times since then, but recaptcha is still nonfunctional: FF is not loading it, at least on some critical sites (perhaps the ones that use the most recent recaptcha?

I have reported this frequently for last several months. I notice that this is a continuing problem for many people. Why is it not fixed?

Sometimes, when I copy and paste a Youtube link into Firefox or I open a Youtube video in a new tab, the video player won't load. Sometimes it's fixed when I reload the page, other times it can only be fixed if I open a new Youtube tab and paste the name of the youtube video in.

Notes: - Tested in privacy browser with only Ublock origin active (no other extensions), did not appear to have this problem (It's a bit difficult to test since it only comes up sometimes with opening Youtube in background tabs/copying and pasting a youtube video)

    - Something I noticed: video player appears to load a lot faster in privacy browser.
    - However, turned off all extensions and themes in non-privacy browser and still had the issue
    - Youtube pages load in the background of privacy browser, but in the normal browser I have to click on them to load

- Turned off hardware acceleration, didn't change anything - Tried troubleshoot mode, doesn't look like the issue is still there? But confused on why the issue still happens when I turn all extensions off not in troubleshoot mode

Wondering if it's an about:config issue? I don't think I changed anything in there, though.
