If I cant get this fixed for my job I will go back to chrome and never download or retry this again. I will also never recommend firefox to anyone like I have in the past.

All my other browsers work fine but since April 4, 2025 Firefox won’t work at all. Websites won’t load. I have tried to clear my cache & cookies, I have checked my connection settings, I have checked for malware, I have turned off all my extensions and I have completely restarted my computer several times now, nothing has worked. I also did trouble shoot mode & reinstalled Firefox (though I will admit I maybe didn’t do this step properly). I refreshed Firefox. Why is it not working? What happened? I don’t know what to do as I don’t want to lose all my bookmarks and passwords that I have yet to move over to my password manager. Please help.

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

I'm on an older Macbook Pro with OS 10.12.6 My browser says it's up to date.

It seems that ever since I did a sync-up with another Macbook, glitches have appeared on this machine. One thing happening now is that some websites take forever to load in, and others won't load at all. With other sites there's no problem. I have a fiber optic connection. The speed test indicates that all is good. I did reboot recently.

I'm wondering if some sites are using advanced scripts that my older machine doesn't like, or perhaps recent updates from Firefox just don't work as well on this machine. Any suggestions??

Trying to Import a csv address book file to Thunderbird address book. Unable to get 'Match field names' to work. Unable to set/change any Address book field names. Each field name seems to be fixed / frozen to the default name of the expected column/ field name.

There is a drop down list for each field, but only one option exists in the drop down list. So, I can not get my csv to translate/convert over to the Thunderbird fields.

Same problem seems to exist in Betterbird. Thanks for any help.

Thunderbird hangs immediately as soon as I click the Junk folder. Another issue that may be related to this. I posted a question about Thunderbird hanging in a few minutes after starting. It hung this morning when I was downloading the message. The inbox, which had hundreds of messages, became empty. After I downloaded messages again, it had over 6000 messages, most of which were junk. It seems the junk filter is not working now. Could anyone offer a tip on the remedy for this?

ThunderBird for Linux crashes down automatically every 5 minutes since the last update. Every time I log into my account, about 5 minutes later, I see from the monitoring terminal that ThunderBird's temporary memory usage suddenly soars to over 90%, and then the entire program becomes unresponsive and must be closed and logged in again. But after that, this situation keeps repeating, and it is impossible to use it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

What can I do to get rid of this problem?
