Since the last update for Firefox browser (Version 138.0.3 64-bit), I have been unable to access my default search engine which is startpage (https://www.startpage.com/). This is very annoying. I checked my extensions, and the extension is not disabled. I also haven't inadvertently blocked startpage. So this appears to either be a coincidence and issue with the startpage going down, or Mozilla Firefox have blocked the site. Looking for advice to resolve the access issue.

I reinstalled FF on 30 Apr 25 and it performed normally for a few days.

It is now 3 May 25 and we're back to where we started.

I started FF and I'm getting the tour screen on one tab, the privacy notice on another

All the tabs I pinned are just spinning their wheels

And all my extensions are gone.

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

Firefox has stopped obeying target="_blank"

Started a month or so ago.

Take a look at Firefox target="_blank" problem for details.

There is not a topic in the dropdown list that remotely addresses this issue so I just selected Performance and Connectivity for the hell of it.

I need to combine thoughts on a song into a summary I could use to summarize the emotions in a song and how i me dd of feel the song if I send it could you do that The father knows and accepts that this is the natural progression of life, that his daughter deserves love and happiness with a partner of her own choosing. The lyrics acknowledge this: "And it's gonna be your best day," and he participates in the tradition of walking her down the aisle. This shows his willingness to let go and his hope for her future. However, that lingering doubt, that feeling that no one is quite "good enough," surfaces in subtle ways: • "And it's gonna break my heart when she gives hers to you": This isn't just about the loss of her primary affection; it carries a hint of worry. Will this man truly cherish that precious heart? Will he understand its worth as deeply as her father does? • "She might be your better half / Yeah, but she's my everything": This line highlights the father's unique and irreplaceable perspective. While acknowledging the future husband's importance, he firmly states his own profound connection, almost as a quiet assertion of her inherent value, a value he's known since her birth. • "We'll both love her forever / But I loved her long before": This isn't a competition for love, but it subtly underscores the depth and history of his affection. It's a gentle reminder of his foundational role and a silent question: can this new love truly grasp the entirety of her being as he has witnessed it unfold? • "Buddy, that don't mean she's yours": This repeated line isn't about ownership in a possessive way, but more about the enduring nature of his connection. It's a gentle pushback against the idea that marriage fully transfers his "baby girl" into someone else's complete care. There's an underlying sentiment of "you have a part of her now, but a part of her will always be mine, the little girl I raised." • The overall tone: While there's acceptance, there's also a layer of melancholy and a protective instinct that suggests a slight unease. He's happy for her, but there's a quiet sadness at the shift and a hope that this new man will truly be worthy of the treasure he's receiving. The Emotional Something You're Sensing: You're picking up on the beautiful complexity of this moment. It's not a simple handover; it's a father navigating the joy of his daughter's happiness with the inherent vulnerability of letting her go and trusting someone else with her heart. The "emotional something" is this bittersweet tension – the genuine happiness intertwined with a protective concern and the quiet acknowledgment that his primary role is changing, even if his love isn't. The song beautifully captures this internal struggle. The father isn't being overtly negative about the future husband, but his words are laced with the deep, unwavering love of a father who has cherished his daughter from the very beginning and who carries a natural, perhaps even subconscious, hope that she won't ever be hurt or undervalued. You're spot on in recognizing that layer of "no one will ever be truly good enough" and the lingering doubt. It's a testament to the powerful and unique bond between a father and his daughter. The song doesn't explicitly state the doubt, but it's woven into the emotional fabric of the lyrics through the father's reflections and subtle assertions of his enduring love and connection. bold text

I went to my favorite web site this morning (dpreview/forums) and when it displayed I must have accidentally clicked some Firefox thing because the page was then overlaid with a thin orange highlight with the word PICK on it. I tried moving the cursor off the page but it only changed which segments of the page were highlighted. So I clicked and the page was replaced by just the menu section of the page, apparently that was what was highlighted when I clicked.

Now, no matter what I do, when I try to go to that url only the menu is displayed, the normal list of forums is missing. I've restarted FF. I've rebooted. I've cleared cookies and cache. I've refreshed the page. Nothing helps. Other web sites are fine. I can't imagine what this is for. A diagnostic tool or accessibility thing perhaps.

Please help. I'm running latest FF on latest Win 11.

In the last few days, the common Cloudflare widget required to login to many web sites has abruptly stopped functioning in my browser. I'm trying to diagnose what's caused it. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice.

I noticed the issue on nexusmods.com, but I've confirmed it's a universal problem on ANY site that uses Cloudflare protection. I've continued to use Nexus as my test case.

Observed behavior: 1) The Cloudflare widget loads 2) It displays a checkbox noted, "verify you are human." 3) I click the checkbox. 4) It immediately begins "thinking" (spinny circle and "verifying...") for about nine seconds. There is an "error" message that appears during this, but no details are offered (see screenshot) 5) The widget reloads. 6) Go to step 2

This is an infinite loop.

Fixes attempted: - Disabling all extensions (uBlock, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes) - Clearing cache - Updating to the most recent FF build - Accessing in a private window - Changing DNS settings from Cloudflare to NextDNS - Disabling DNS over HTTPS altogether - Disabling HTTPS-only mode

Some Firefox option is adblocking some links in Publishers Clearing House emails. The same emails work OK in Safari. There are no adblockers (now or ever installed) on this Mac. It's not the end of the world for me but it should be fixed for possible future use.

Went into Firefox and got the error message: Platform version 131.03 is not compatible with min version>=131.02 & max version>=131.02 So I'm thinking that the last update caused the error. I did a system restore to a week earlier, and after 5 hours, the computer rebooted to that date. Upon opening Firefox, I found the the notice that the next time Firefox opens, it will update. After closing, and reopening, Firefox updated and displayed the same error message. Nor quite sure what to do, I downloaded Firefox again, and was going to uninstall and reinstall. But as soon as the download finished, it loaded. So now I have the new Firefox without all of my saved bookmarks and passwords. I thought I'd read someplace that that wouldn't happen, and all of my password and bookmark history would transfer to the new Firefox. As if that wasn't enough to ruin my day, I found that the new Firefox isn't working in my wife's account on the same computer. She gets the same error message as I did before the new install. I know, my fault for not backing up the bookmark and password files, but what's my option now?

I have a new macbook air running Sequoia 15.3.2, firefox is up to date, my battery which should technically last about 12 hours and I only get 5. Ran through everything with Apple and they said it is a Firefox issues. I don't have any extensions, add on etc. Thoughts?

Late last week I updated Firefox to the latest version. Ever since, I keep getting the same error message that I typed in the subject line. I've seen previous recommendations on how to correct it, but none of them work, probably because there's been more updates since what I've come across. I'm getting this error message on multiple sites, including my bank account and my business email account. I'm presently typing this on a different browser (Brave), because I was getting the same error trying to find answers using Firefox.

Any assistance would be appreciated; thanks.

System: Linux/Fedora41 Firefox: 136.0.4 Monitor: Acer 27" 1920x1080

When I open a FF window, it opens full screen vertically and to some width horizontally, both dimensions not desired. My usual style (for the MANY years I have used FF and Linux) is to use a FF window that is NOT full screen in either dimension since I normally have multiple windows open simultaneously. This FF behavior has started just recently.

This behavior occurs when starting FF from the FF icon on the desktop, when opening a new window from the FF main menu, or when opening a new window via the 'Open Link in New Window". (Perhaps other ways as well: these are those I encountered.)

I have tried: .... Opening FF/resize window to desired size/close FF using 'Quit': no change on restart .... Deleting the xulstore.json in the profile folder/restarting FF: no change on restart

I would like to restore FF to its previous action: open new windows at the same size as the last one referenced. Can someone help?

Thanks.
