At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

When loading webpages, it will often take 60-90 seconds to load the page. I've only seen this happen when loading the page for the first time, once it loads navigating through subpages is seamless. It doesn't seem to be tied to any particular domain, I've had it happen randomly on gaming websites, tech websites, even google searches. The most notable coincidence is that in the networking tab of the developer console, it always(?) takes almost exactly 30 seconds on DNS resolution, 30 seconds on Connecting, sometimes a 30s Blocking element, and then the remainder is near instantaneous; screenshot attached. My network is fine, I'm able to play low-latency games without issue, and Chrome is not exhibiting the same behaviour.

Things I've tried to resolve:

  • Restarting computer -- issue has been persisting for months
  • Created a new Firefox profile -- still showing the same behaviour
  • Disabling all addons/testing Troubleshoot Mode
  • Proxy settings in Firefox -- No Proxy and System proxy settings are both showing the behaviour
  • Disabling DNS over HTTPS

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As per the subject, I can't seem to get my webcam to start specifically on Google Meet on Firefox. The microphone works fine and the red webcam symbol beside the URL appears, but I do not get any video feed, only microphone audio. The webcam and microphone both function on https://webcammictest.com/ and I have allowed the camera and microphone privacy permissions for Google Meet on Firefox. I have also refreshed Firefox and they work just fine on Chrome, but I would still prefer using Firefox for my meetings. I am using Windows 10 22H2 and Firefox is at Version 136.0.1, which supposedly are up to date. Am I missing something?

Nothing in the Windows 10(64bit) OS or the Firewall is set to Block Amazon and my VPN is not set to Block Amazon. I do not know when this issue began or which Firefox Update may have caused it. See the screen capture attached!

I have Firefox on two separate computers, a desktop running Win7Prof64bit and a laptop running Win10Pro 64bit. Both Firefox installations crash constantly, ie every 10 - 15 mins. They show the "Gah! Firefox just crashed. Please tell us what you were doing", and the box to return the data to Mozilla. With Restore This Tab at the bottom.

I always send you these reports but in about a year, the problem remains the same. Nothing has improved, I never hear back from you. Two different PCs, two different OSs, constant reports, no improvement. Why do I never hear from you? Why does this problem continue endlessly? I'm wasting my time sending you the reports. You take no notice. If you do, why does the problem continue and why do I never hear from you?

Since April 5th I have lost spell check in the message pane of the emails I type on outlook.live.com It still works in the subject line, but not the message area.

Windows 10 pro 22H2 updated to end of March, when spell check was still working well. Firefox 137.1 English Canada Language selected (has worked well for years)

I go to outlook.live.com to read and answer my @hotmail.com emails.

When right clicking on a misspelled word in the message area I get only these options, Firefox does not give me the usual options.

I am currently having other problems on that site, clearing outlook.live.com cookies does not clear the problems.

Can't use YT picture in picture mode on Firefox when logged into my YT account. When I enable picture in picture on a video and scroll down to the comments, picture in picture mode turns off as soon as I scroll past the bottom of the video.

Happens only when I'm logged into my YT account on Firefox. Logout, it works. Logged in on Edge, it works. Logged into my second YT account on Firefox, it works. Only doesn't work for this one account.

Attached images if that helps. Last image shows exactly when picture in picture mode turns off when I'm scrolling

I would appreciate whatever help or suggestions someone may provide to an irksome problem that only happens in my preferred browser, Firefox. I've attached an image below of a page from a local grocery store. Like most stores these days, it is possible to search within that store and its web site for specific items and prices, etc. It works in at least two other browsers I've tried but not in Firefox so a setting, I'm guessing, has been changed within Firefox in the last few months (because this problem did not occur before then).

As you see in the image, I've inserted an item to find its price; and nothing happens. Before, on Firefox, and now with other browsers, I would get a display of all relevant products, prices, quantities, sales and discounts, etc.

What Firefox setting do I need to change so this information will show up again?

I have Firefox version 137.0.2 on this system running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5737).

Sorry for my ignorance; and thanks again for whatever help anyone can offer.

TB 140.7.0 32bit, Windows10 64bit

My email provider implements black-box spam processing, with deemed spam redirected into a "Spam" folder at the server end which by default is flushed every 60 days.

To view all the incoming mail, I now not only need to view the account Inbox as TB presents it, I also need to log in to the provider's Web interface to inspect the account's Spam folder. I'd rather view this Spam folder through the TB interface to avoid extra logins.

So I

(1) Created a Spam subfolder under Local Folders using the TB interface. The Properties function reports its path as mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Spam (the Inbox path is reported as mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Inbox). These paths are read-only as presented by the Properties function.

(2) Used the Config Editor to set mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new to TRUE.

(3) Restarted TB, verified that check_all_folders_for_new was indeed TRUE.

However, while the account's Spam folder was known to contain 2 entries at the server side, the end-user Spam folder was not populated, whether by way of TB restart or manual invocation of the Get All New Messages function.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

While using Outlook.com email in my Firefox browser, I attach a zip file to send to someone.

They reported that the zip file is empty. This happened two more times.

I confirmed that the zip file that I was uploading from my hard drive did indeed have files included.

I then downloaded the attached zip file from the email in my "Sent" folder. It was empty.

When I tried using "Outlook.com" in the Chrome browser, I did not have the same problem.

I'm using Firefox ESR version 128.9.0, on Windows 10.

(The downloaded empty zip file also had "utf-8" added to the file name - that problem is addressed in other tickets and is being worked on. I am not asking about that.)

Hello, after installing a new hard drive (the old one died and I couldn't recover the data), I reinstalled everything on my PC, except that a friend recommended installing Arium (Windows 10.8 LTS). It works fine, except that now I have no way of connecting my Mozilla account to Firefox to recover my passwords and other saved tabs.

I've searched a lot, tried several installations, and even installed a previous version of Firefox, but nothing works...

Do you know why? Is it because of Arium?

Thanks
