Firefox Community Forum

Lately I’ve noticed firefox slowing down a lot on certain small game sites. for example, I was doing a daily word puzzle on spellbeegame.com and after like 10 minutes, it started lagging so bad I could barely type in letters.

I cleared my cache, disabled a few add-ons, even restarted the browser — same issue. The weird part? It works perfectly fine in chrome.

Is firefox just bad with these interactive game pages? or is there some hidden setting I’m missing? Would love to get it fixed because I actually prefer using firefox, but the stutter kind of kills the fun.

anyone else had this happen?

Mozilla - SICK TO DEATH - of a product that has poor or zero customer support. Now like FireFox. Been loyal to this Browser for many years and in return - zero customer support. trying to sign up for THIS crap "help" not from FireFox of course, but from "VOLUNTEERS" so NOT Mozilla/FireFox and they don't get paid to help the company?? Bad biz all around.

Why do I have my time wasted "solving a problem" THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE??

"Signing Up" for this "help" group - typed in my email addy, chose a password, then received a "Code" to verify my email. Received ERROR message "Bad Request (400) from FireFox??? asked to be sent a NEW code - did that 3 times - receiving THE SAME EXACT BAD CODE 3 TIMES!! but oh, somehow I'm in to this "help" group anyway. How will I get in again?? or come back to check on answers WITH NO PASSWORD???

Anyone else have this type of deliberate Obstruction method of getting help?? This is NOT even the main issue I wanted to get help.

I have lost my History and Bookmarks. A message appears 'The bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem' I use Asast One and Malwarebytes. Can you help please? I am not very technical so if you can put an answer in very basic terms that would be appreciated. Thank you. Arthur Moody

I visited the following site: Broker I can see their favicon in the tab. I bookmarked it to the Bookmark Toolbar, but the favicon is not the same (See image).

I did some search on this in google but nothing helped (refresh it, delete the favicon sql file, devtools chrome enabled, etc). I thought that firefox will honor the absolute path in the website. The following code is from the web site (I used the developer tools to inspect it).

<link id="dynamic-favicon" rel="shortcut icon" href="https://content.client.bnc.ca/content/dam/orion/favicon.ico">

If I edit that line to remove everything before the favicon.ico word, I get the incorrect icon.

This is not an issue in other browsers, but I only use Firefox at home.

How can I solve this? Hopefully without using an extension. Thanks

Seit dem letzten Firefox-update wird alles in allen Bereichen nur noch in English dargestellt, obwohl in "Einstellung" Deutsch ausgewählt ist. Firefox ist mein Hauptbrowser. Mein Betriebssystem ist win 11 home

macOS 15.6 Firefox 141.0.3 - my preferred browser

I've seen a number of posts regarding this problem since the Firefox 141 update. I've tried a number of suggestions, although my problem seems slightly different.

I can apparently login to reddit OK but when I try to access a subreddit thread, a warning comes up - see image.

I have cleared Firefox site data, cookies, cached files, etc - problem remains.

I have restarted Firefox in Troubleshooting mode - problem remains, so not an extension.

However, https://old.reddit.com has no problems with Firefox, lets me access threads, etc and comment.

No problems accessing reddit with Safari or DuckDuckGo browser.

I keep tabs up on a Window when I do "research". I will minimize the Window or at some point Close the window eventually and I EXPECT MY TAB HISTORY TO BE THERE UNTIL I TELL FIREFOX TO CLOSE THEM!!! My choice!! That's #1.

1. 2 - too often because of the above, I must go to History to "RE-OPEN all tabs" Too often - Clicking "Re-open all tabs" Does NOT work!!! Even if it's 5 minutes later???

when they should not have been closed in the first place. Poor function now requiring me to RE-sign in to what ever websites "G-mail" "Facebook" other stuff - I had on my Window and re type in all the work I already had up and ready to get back to work on.

This "tool" that supposedly wants me to use it that it's main function is "to make my life easier" does NOT get to waste my time over and over again. Used to work great - NEW IMPROVED FIREFOX SUCKS!!

Sick of this poor function.

Thank ONLY you "volunteers" for helping me. NO THANKS to FireFox NOT offering tech support or any customer service. am 2 secs away from moving to full Google Chrome (which I hate too) or any other browser.

I am old-school security conscious & have been using FF since its inception. Really. Clear my cache & delete browsing cookies on a regular basis. I use a private window for shopping and q&a info gathering. Recently I saw Walmart.com showing up in my cookies and couldn't figure out how/why as I *only* look at Walmart in a private window. Today I realized Walmart has managed to bypass the private window options and place cookies anyway! To say I'm furious about this is an understatement. I have adjusted my settings to "Strict" but it's still able to bypass the private window and is staying on my computer. I am updated to the most recent FF version; running MacOs Sonoma 14.7.7 which was just recently updated; I'm not going past this one for now but that really shouldn't be the issue. This is most definitely a FF issue and one that needs to be rectified not just because it's Walmart but because if they can do it so can others soon enough. This cannot stand.

When the above add-on is activated it seems like the process is hanging. The Webadvisor icon flashes about once in a second. Is there a better solution than to desactivate it? Thank you for comments.

i keep getting Firefox crashes and i also get Firefox already running close firefox i have the latest version i do not understand why please help thanks

When I start Firefox it's not asking for my primary password.

It's not autofilling an important site and I need to access my password for it, but when I try to access passwords I don't get the 'enter primary password' box, just a message at the top of the browser window telling me to enter it and a button saying 'log on'. There's nowhere to enter the passowrd and the log on button does nothing.

This is midly terrifying...

For some reason, I was unable to verify my account. I even thought I was wrong with my password, but that was not the case. When I use a different browser, Apple does not just ask me for a password but also a key; however, this option was not available on Firefox. With this, I can't log in to my iCloud on my Firefox Linux app.

Hello, I am running scripts (Javascript, VSCode, for automated software testing(websites). Testing with Javascript en Cypress but tests do not run when FF browser is selected, No error message.. In %temp% there is no geckodriver.exe. The Cypress window just keeps showing a spinner and nothing happens, the test does not load and run on FF browser. The other browsers available to use(Chrome/Edge/Electron) can be selected and Cypress runs the tests with no problem or issue. It seems a geckodriver needs to be installed but how and where is not clear to me. Does anyone know how to get Cypress to run the test on the FF browser? Cypress Version 14.5.4, Node version v22.18.0 LTS, Windows 10 Pro. FF 141.0.3 Perhaps any Cypress+FF ninja testers here as well that could help me to get this solved?

I've done everything, and watch every video there is on how to remove firewall on binance or any crpyto/stock exchange platform. I WANNA BE ABLE TO USE MY PC TO INVEST AND DO MY JOB BUT THIS SEARCH ENGINE WONT LET ME

https://www.advrider.com/

The page just sits there blank with no signon. Down the bottom says waiting for advrider.com If i do the same exact thing in Chrome, the motorcycle site opens its Home page immediately.

3 minutes later I finally get a text version of the home page, no images. If I click on a category again Firefox just sits on blank page

All other sites I want to go to work fine, just not ADV Rider.

Any thoughts?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to sewayojan.up.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

sewayojan.up.nic.in 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 antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I have been searching for religious e-mail contacts using Firefox browser and today three boxes are appearing and remaining saying that my laptop has trojans and viruses. the boxes have Mozilla firefox written in the top left corner, and there is a "Dismiss" option at the bottom and clicking on that "Dismiss or the X in the upper right does nothing, and the boxes just return again, and again, and again. They block the history in Firefox and the scroll option. How do I eliminate that virus? Cordially, Ross rwa357campbell@gmail.com
