When I open any stream, it takes about 2.5 seconds from the start of the page loading to the appearance of the stream image and playback. For comparison, in version 137 it took about 1.0 seconds.

I tried to launch the browser (Firefox 138.0.1) in troubleshooting mode, and also created a new profile, but the problem remained.

I also downloaded portable versions: 137.0.1 - everything is fine. 138.0 and 140.0a1 - slow loading.

I also have Zen Browser installed (the latest version is based on 138.0.1) - everything is fine.

Firefox has recently started crashing multiple times per day. The crashes do not seem to be website specific.

Here is a list of my submitted crash reports. Please help.

The latest firefox update introduced tab groups, something I've been eagerly waiting for ever since chrome released it!

However, my firefox's tab groups don't hide the tabs correctly. In the video demo I see that when you click on the name of the tab group, it should collapse all the tabs and hide them.

In my firefox, when I click the tab group name, the tabs don't get hidden as expected.

Here is a video that shows the bug I'm referencing: https://imgur.com/a/8ewW1a2

I tried disabling all my extensions and restarting firefox, also tried in private mode, and it still was having the same experience.

Are there any about:config settings that I might have accidentally changed that could be causing this?

Thanks!

Please read below my emails to Ghostery support that describes the issue and the Ghostery response.

The issue is using DuckDuckGo in Firefox with the Ghostery add-on enabled, and changing DuckDuckGo AI settings.

Please let me know if there is a resolution available.

Thanks, Malc [edited] @gmail.com __________________________________________________________________________________________

An FYI -

Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker - Privacy AdBlock 10.4.32 has an issue in Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine Settings changes to AI Features, Chat to off, Assist to Never, then saved and shown working with a page refresh.

When Firefox is then shutdown and restarted the intended DuckDuckGo browser changes are not applied. Assist will still show a result in a search.

Proven by disabling Ghostery, again changing DuckDuckGo AI features and saving, shutting down Firefox and restarting, then searching with DuckDuckGo with no Assist displayed in result.

I can answer any questions you may have.

Regards, Long time happy Ghostery user Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to Ghostery and bringing this to our attention!

We were able to reproduce the issue on our end, though with slightly different conditions. It appears that DuckDuckGo’s settings are stored locally in the browser. If Firefox is set to clear cookies and site data (either manually or automatically), this would reset DuckDuckGo’s preferences each time — even with Ghostery disabled.

Could you please check if the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned off in your Firefox settings and try again? In our tests, DuckDuckGo’s settings were preserved when this option was disabled. It would greatly help to narrow this down.

Here for any further questions! Best, Ghostery Support

Hi Ghostery Support 2,

Thank you for replying.

Yes, the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned on. When turned off and the Ghostery extension enabled, the changes to DuckDuckGo were saved and implemented correctly when Firefox was restarted.

I did find this.

In Firefox settings Cookies and Site Data, Manage Exceptions, I added "https://duckduckgo.com" and set Status to Allow. I also turned on “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed”.

With the Ghostery extension enabled, the saved settings to DuckDuckGo were still active when Firefox was restarted.

But I do not think it wise to give DuckDuckGo an exception to use cookies and site data with no restriction.

Please keep me informed.

Regards, Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there, Thanks for getting back to us!

Unfortunately, there’s not much Ghostery can do in this case. If DuckDuckGo saves its settings internally, there may be no way to keep duckduckgo.com out of exceptions while preserving those settings elsewhere.

You might want to look into third-party tools that support this kind of setup, or consider reaching out to Mozilla’s support team with this request.

Here for any further questions! Best, Ghostery Support Support Ghostery

When I enter the verification code I received over email, it says "Bad request: Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

There's no bad requests in the Network tab under web developer tools.

I have tried every support advice I can find and no matter what I do passwords are not restoring. Here is what I have done: Opened about:profiles Opened profile folder Exit firefox transfer key4.db and signons.jstor files from backup to the new folder

Nothing happens.

I have tried creating new folders and following those steps. I have tried everything.

Maybe after update, or i dont know why, but now. when youtube (or any other videoplayer) in fullscreen - taskbar menu is visible (Is on topscreen). In google chrome problem is not repeats. I'm using StartAllBack app for classic start menu, but till that day all was fine. I checked on two devices with firefox - the same problem (StartAllBack or windows version wasnt cahnged). Windows 11 24H2

while ysing the New York Times i tried to open the Athletic Section of the App and this was the result....Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)....I cannot find information, can you help

Craig

When I opened Firefox all my webpages that I visited where there. Now it is just a blank screen and I have to go to webpages manually, there is no way to add them to my start screen. it just stays blank and search bar stays blue.

I have notice for some time the Firefox start have updates almost daily it is not too bad whats that bug me is the matter the updates only start show up the information the availability after you log in any account or web site , never in your Firefox Home. you can stay 1 hour with Firefox open with home screen and no alert of updated show 10 second after you login in on email account or enter in any web site the pop up the availability updated what start became annoying .

Thank you .

Does the Relay extension only work on Firefox or can it be added to other browsers? It seems like a useful tool, but I don't want to be locked into a single browser.

I recently downloaded Firefox and would like to use it as my primary web browser (M1 14" Macbook Pro). But my Google calendar web site is not showing any colors, making it hard to use. On my other browsers (Brave, Safari, Edge) it works fine . See screen shots below from Firefox, Safari, Brave. I have tried re-booting Firefox, the computer, reverting the Firefox theme back to basics etc., and searching on line for a solution, but I can't find anything. So far all other websites are working OK, except for 1 other that has partially the same problem. If it can't be fixed I'll stop using Firefox, which I otherwise like.

Thanks for any help.

i signed in to my mozila account using my google accont After that my account appears to be blocked and i cannot access login or access my data please help me recovery my accont thank you.

(This is copied nearly directly from a post on r/firefox made a few hours ago—I decided it was best to spread it here for more exposure. The only change was the removal of the add-on names from the title due to character limits; these are Form History Control and Text Area Cache.)

I hope the title explains what I am looking for well. My main computer has had... spooky behavior with its file system recently, and I have been recommended to make a back-up, format my drive, and re-install my operating system (possibly upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 in the process). The biggest hold-up to me doing so is this, as I have no idea how to transfer the extension data between installs, or convert it into a human-readable form. The sheer number of writing drafts in those extensions both make losing them an unacceptable situation and copying the data manually into a document entirely impractical. So, can anyone help me with this? For context, I was on Firefox 138.0 when I stopped using my main computer due to those issues. (Note: It will certainly last long enough to do the Firefox Syncing and other back-up operations, just not for many more weeks or months.)

Hello. Today I updated Firefox to Version 138.0.3 64 bit and I have found that the Search Bookmarks in Bookmarks no longer works where as in Version 138.0.1 it did. I have done a Refresh and it still does not work. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Is this a bug or something new with the current update. Could someone tell me how to solve this a using the Search Bookmarks function was a big help. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don

I am starting to use the new utility which allows me to group tabs. But I would like to see only the name of the group and not the whole list. How can I collapse the list of tabs which belong to a group leaving only the group name shown. Then with a click I should be able to see the corresponding list of tabs if I need it. Saving and closing a group is not a solution, as the group disappears from the Sidebar. Thank you for your help. Best regards Ray Ballisti [edited] @bluewin.ch Switzerland
