Firefox can't connect to web sites that Chrome can. It just sits and spins in an endless loop. Windows 7 but other sites have no problem connection with firefox

An example of a site Chrome can get to but Firefox can connect to is www.lowes.com

When loading some pages, after the latest update to Firefox, I noticed that many websites started, loading slowly or waiting for other content requested by scripts to time out before continuing to load the content of the page. Some taking 20-100 seconds to throw an http error/timeout in the network tab. I even tried it having all my extensions disabled, vanilla FireFox and I still have the above issue.

The only fix I have now is using uBlock or some other plugin to block the url's of resources that are not loading or have been timing out. One such website/url being cdn.cookielaw.org has been the worst making it seem like some websites were straight up broken and unable to load.

Anyway I have fixed this issue by doing the above and blocking the urls of content that doesn't load but I don't think this is intended behavior as I can't reproduce it on other browsers besides FireFox.

I am unable to download a bank statement pdf from my online banking, using Firefox. I AM able to downoad it using Google Chrome. I am able download OTHER pdfs on Firefox - just not my bank statements! I HAVE been able to download bank statements successfully in the past, using Firefox, but now am unable to. When I try to download statement from the bank website, firstly I get a black screen with small message saying "No preview available", and an invitation to download. On clicking Download, I'm taken to a white page saying "Error No API key found in request. request_id: a2ad87061f2bed614b1d53708d35cb26", but no further options. I've exchanged messages with my bank, who've found no solution, and advised me to look into it with you guys - ie, Firefox browsing. I've played around with Firefox settings, cookies, security settings, etc, but all to no avail.

Any clues how I can resolve this?

Hello,

I am reporting a performance issue specifically related to Google Search's AI features (AI Overviews) in Firefox 149.0.2 on macOS.

The Issue: When an AI-generated summary appears in Google Search results, GPU usage spikes significantly, reaching up to 212%. This causes the laptop to overheat and triggers high fan speeds.

Critical Comparison:

Firefox 149.0.2: Extreme GPU load and performance degradation when rendering Google AI elements.

Google Chrome 147.0.7727.56: Works perfectly with normal GPU usage under the same conditions.

Tested on two different MacBooks: MacBook Pro (A1502), 16GB RAM, i7 (2015) — OS: macOS Monterey. MacBook Pro (MMQX3), 64GB RAM, M1 Max (2021) — OS: macOS Sequoia (15.x/Tahoe).

For some reason in the last 10 days or so, google maps on Realtor.com is broken in Firefox. It's impossible to drag it in the window in any direction. I can zoom in or out with the mouse wheel, but that does no good because what I want to see is now off the screen and can't be dragged back into view.

Google maps works perfectly fine in Chrome just like it always did. Either realtor.com did something in their code in the last 10 days or so, or, the latest update that firefox did broke it. I do not know which one of the two is the culprit.

Has anyone else experienced this issue using websites that use google maps in a frame or 'window' on their website?

Thanks in advance, Joe

Unable to log into SSA since the update (it seems however since you are changing this weekly or hourly it seems sometimes I do not know what the version was when I logged in last) I am at 144.0 and can log in without an issue using Chrome. How can this be fixed? From what I can tell it seems to not allow a return from server when you click on LOGIN on SSA <ssa.gov/myaccount/> I can get in with out a problem using Chrome. Please let me know what the fix is.

I am trying to use Firefox/Safari on my iPhone to access a website that requires camera and microphone access. When I reach the permission prompt, the browser gets stuck or does not allow me to continue even after granting permissions. I already checked settings and allowed camera and microphone, but the issue persists. The page shows a message related to “official browser support” and freezes on the permission screen.

Running Firefox 149.0.2 (64-bit) on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with Catalina (10.15.9).

I was in the process of updating a non-profit's website and had opened the html file on my computer. I noticed that the "y" (lower case) was missing from the days of the week. I checked the RUNNING website and saw the same thing. Checked he same website with Safari and the "y" suddenly appeared. Okay, so I then tried to add another "y" somewhere else on that page and ... nothing, so on a whim I added a "Y" to my Mac's file and guess what? It upper case Y displayed. Also noticed that on some web pages instead of showing me the characters in some words, it substitutes "ddddddd" for some words. What's up?

My Firefox browser works just fine, and the "about" tab says it is up to date with ESR, but Chase.com won't let me log in, saying I need ESR. If I already have it, what gives?

Hi,

I’m facing an issue with my website’s fine checking tool on Mozilla Firefox. My website is evgfinescheck.com , and the tool works fine in some browsers, but on Firefox it doesn’t load properly and sometimes shows an error.

I am already using the latest (updated) version of Firefox, so the issue is not due to an outdated browser. The tool either fails to fetch data or doesn’t respond as expected when users try to check fines.

I’ve checked basic things like internet connection and browser updates, but the problem still persists specifically on Firefox.

Can anyone guide me on:

What could be causing this compatibility issue? Are there any common JavaScript, API, or CORS-related problems specific to Firefox? How can I debug or fix this issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am reporting a severe issue on Android 15. On YouTube, the "Auto-next" feature and background playback fail. The next song plays for only 0.1 seconds and stops. I have personally tested this on 8 different Android 15 devices (Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Realme). Chromium-based browsers like Brave work fine, but Firefox is being blocked. Please fix this discrimination.

We have a web page we've created that is linked to by multiple other websites. For two of the sites where this is linked, Firefox (only) gives a "The Page Isn't Redirecting Properly" error. Using the exact same URL to link from other sites works fine in all browsers. Once you get the error, if you click in the URL and hit enter, the page will load fine. Any ideas? When searching that error, all the ideas I find tend to focus on the individual user's system, but this is happening for all users.
