Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

So slow I almost think MSFT AI has invented a thing that trips you up... After all, they're the fallback. Just saying.

I have MSFT 11 on a strong Nvidia gaming laptop. It's a fast machine. Once Firefox is open everything works fine and fast. It's just the opening.

Thank you, Liah

Hello team, hope you're doing well. I purchased a new laptop recently(HP Omen 16 with RTX 3070Ti). I installed Kali OS via VMware, which runs on my host machine(Windows 11).

Everything seems to be working fine in Kali, except when I try to play any video via Firefox Browser, it lags a lot and is very choppy. At first, I thought it was the issue with Kali hence, I reinstalled Kali and tried again. The issue still persists. I then did a clean Windows 11 install and tried everything again right after Win11 was set up, but I still couldn't find a solution. Tried all the methods which I could find online, but still, nothing worked.

I tried again, but this time with Windows 10 Pro on VMware. The issue was resolved and everything worked perfectly fine when videos were played on Microsoft Edge.

I've installed the Firefox browser on my host machine, and everything runs smoothly on my host machine(Windows 11), but the issue occurs only when videos are being played in the Firefox browser via Kali on Vmware/VirtualBox. I had asked many known people, but none of them have ever faced this issue with Firefox to date. Neither did I with my previous laptops. This is the first time something like this has occurred.

Issue: Any Video, from any site, when being played in Firefox Browser via Kali OS in Vmware/VirtualBox lags a lot and it is super slow(even when the video speed is set to normal). The audio that comes out from each video is like a robotic voice and it is super slow and laggy.

Kindly help and I really hope that we can resolve this issue!!!

I saw an other article about the same possible but they had a problem with an extension but I dont have that extension but still have the same problem. Whenever i watch twitch or youtube and i alt tab or switch tabs my audio and video stops playing.

When I enter either of these internal addresses, it fails:

http://dfa shows: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at dfa.

http://rpi-m92a-ad82:3003/ Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at rpi-m92a-ad82.

Both issues are similar, but neither work as expected.

dfa is an alias for a longer name such as dfa.int.example.com. The local DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) will reply with the correct IP if asked for "dfa" but not "dfa." due to the dot forcing the Fully Qualified Domain Name to be "dfa." only. We wish to opt to leave off the rest of the url.

For the raspberry pi, it is a mDNS. So doing "rpi-m92a-ad82.local" works. But this used to work long ago, and ended 10 or 20 updates ago as best as I can remember.

How can I convince Firefox to query DNS, then query mDNS, and if both fail perform a search?

like the title says, i installed the latest Firefox update and my graphics driver started crashing every few minutes. tried updating my graphics card driver (Nvidia RTX3070) and tried to set the browser to software rendering, but nothing helps, it keeps going black and restart every few minutes.

There really should be a option to revert from a update, i had this a lot with Firefox, troubles after updates. And with no way to fix it, so i have to use another browser until it is fixed..kinda troublesome.

I was wondering if anyone knew why I am having this issue. On occasion when I walk away from my computer with Firefox running (usually 20-30 minutes) I come back to find the browser itself has closed, including Private/Incognito tabs. Everything else on my computer has continued to function as per normal, nor has the computer itself seem to have restarted itself. It is only Firefox that this is happening with.

Since the task limit option seems to have been obliterated? I believe the many more "programs" and the events they create for windows to handle is causing all sorts of virtual memory problems. Changing win10 advanced system settings from performance for programs to background services seems to have restored Firefox performance in my case, see: 10 advanced system settings win10 advanced system settings performance programs vs background services Is there an about:config option that would allow one to achieve the same "programs" limiting option as before? This laptop has 16 gig of memory and I used to successfully have even better Firefox performance with windows virtual memory turned off, but eventually I would get crashes. I can understand why Firefox was modified in a way to better localize the source of crashes, but in my case it has degraded performance. Thanks Mozilla for a great product I have valued for years!!!!

After I boot my system I am not able to open Firefox as it complains about an open instance. After around half a minute the file disappears on its own.

Deleting the lock file manually works for starting firefox, but seems to sometimes delete my cookies as well.

The issue is not reproducible by just logging out and in again.

Firefox Browser 113.0.2 (64-bit) "Mozilla Firefox for Garuda Linux"

OS: Garuda Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.3.5-zen1-1-zen DE: Plasma 5.27.5 WM: KWin

I have been with FF for years now but I started to notice a few months back that sometimes a web site I want to go to would not load with FF - a blank page would come up. Also, that some sites were very slow to load. I would go to EDGE and the sites pop right up with no problems.

Some examples - StartLogic, VERY slow to load on FF. United Health Care - I bring up the site, put my login info in and it brings up a blank page. I go to EDGE with both of these programs and no problems. There are other sites that I have the same problem with.

What's going on with FF? I would like to keep using it but I am finding more and more sites that act like this.

I just installed Firefox 2 days ago on a new computer and have no problems till today. I was watching a movie when suddenly all tabs crashed. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, checking for malware, making sure firefox was up to date, clearing cache data and history, disabling plugins running troubleshooting mode and restarting my PC. Please help I cannot use Firefox at all.

Hi,

I am using Windows7 64bit. I have never had this problem before. Suddenly I am having this issue that whenever I paste some text in the address bar, or use Paste and go option, for example I am looking up a difficult word in a web page, I would copy it and Paste it or Paste and go in the address bar, Firefox crashes. It crashes even in troubleshooting mode. I have refreshed Firefox twice but no luck. Uninstalling and reinstalling helped for some time, but the problem is back. I have latest version of Firefox.

There is a bug when I try to make a video (Twitch, Youtube, ...) go full screen. I click in the full screen button and the video does not expand to the edges of the screen (the screen is shrunk slightly). There is a fix, but it requires the user to put the Firefox window in full screen and then put the video in full screen.

The other web browsers on my mac does not have this issue.

I searched for this issue and found one other reporting about this several years ago when quantum was first released - supposedly it was fixed. But it's still present here.

Firefox 113.0.2, MacOS Ventura 13.4

Dear Team,

I'm using version 114.0 (64 bits) with Eset Internet Security 16.1.14.0 installed on a Windows 10 machine 22H2 Build 19045.2965. I have refreshed Firefox from previous version yesterday (06/06/2023) (it asked me to restart the browser). Since then I cannot load any page (not even the about:crashes or settings or passwords, or any website). All pages keep on crashing, the reports are not generated nor sent to support. I have tried to locate the crash reports under APPDATA, but none being generated. I also tried to disable my anti-virus software thinking it may cause an issue, but still no luck. The same happens in Safe mode as well. Tried clean install as well, but again the same thing happens.

Kindly look into it!

Best regards,

Sandor

Hi, since today I have those wird glitches on YouTube videos (attached image). I've tried restarting Firefox, clearing browser cache and cookies, disabling all browser extensions and nothing helped. On other browsers videos works fine so it's not problem with YouTube

From the last week Firefox started to give me the error "Secure Connection Failed" / SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE, preventing me to access some intranet sites. The first time I tried the "Refresh Firefox" procedure found at the beginning of the dis-installation function (started through the standard "Add or remove programs" Windows 11 interface). Now this error re-appears only for one of the internal sites from time to time. If I close all the browser windows and re-open Firefox, the error changes to "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" / MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT (which is an error I'm expecting since the intranet site is using an intenal Certification Authority that I've not yet put among the trusted ones) and with this message I can now proceed to the site by selecting "Advanced..." and "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Which is the reason for SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE error? I cannot find a mention for it inside https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean ... Is there a way to debug it? Or to avoid re-occurring and the need to restart Firefox?

Firefox version is "113.0.2 (64-bit)" on Windows 11 (10.0.22621.1702).
