With the latest update of Firefox, my laptop, which is a high end DELL, is experiencing big difficulties just running a Firefox with 3 tabs open. the CPU usage is skyrocketing and it is also heavy on the memory. I am running the same 3 tab on the same websites as I have been doing for the past 6 months, but since the latest Firefox update, this has become impossible. What happened to Firefox? I have had no other significant updates but the Firefox update.

my facebook ends after a dozen posts with the error message saying reload bur reload does nothing I still can not scan down my facebook posts this only happens on Firefox no other browser has a problem

Hi,

As the title says, Firefox throws "We can’t connect to the server at m.imdb.com." error every time I try to open a page while everything else works like Chrome, Edge and when I ping via command prompt I get replies and other applications. (Win 10 64-bit with latest Firefox)

I think it's a system-wide problem but I can't figure out where. I was under the impression that it's a DNS problem but it doesn't even open IP addresses like 192.168.1.1 and it doesn't open instantly, no matter it's Google.com or my router IP, instant error message.

I tried everything I could find which are:

• Refresh, clean re-install with deleting profile directory
• clearing cache and data
• Toggling these in about:config: network.http.http3.enabled, network.dns.disableIPv6, network.dns.disablePrefetch
• Enabling/disabling my adapter
• Running a couple commands:

   ipconfig /flushdns
   ipconfig /registerdns
   ipconfig /release
   ipconfig /renew

   netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
   netsh winsock reset catalog
   netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
   netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

• Setting proxy to None
• Restarting with Troubleshoot Mode (add-ons disabled)
• Removing Firefox entry from Windows Firewall. (I haven't installed any Firewall and Anti-Virus)
• WIndows's Network Reset
• Rebooting machine and router

I'm sure there are more, these are all I can remember now.

This happened some months ago but can't seem to remember how I fixed it.

The only way it opens sites is with a VPN that sets a system proxy and setting Firefox's proxy to "Use System Proxy Settings".

Cheers

'bold textpr end of file error, pages will not load have to constantly press retry. mostly in email and home page. I have reloaded deleted and reloaded still the same things '

Updated to latest Firefox, 111.0.1 64 bit. Browser is now extremely slow to load. Hangs up on some web sites. Lots of little blue time out circles. Almost unusable. Have to reboot to get the browser to load.

I have four accounts in Firefox, 1 gmail, 2 yahoo and 1 posteo - as of a few days ago, only the posteo.de account receives mail but none of the accounts can send mail, I repeatedly get the attached error message. Btw: I have not made any changes to any of the account settings.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated Susanne

The concept of threading is great, but sometimes I cannot see any reason why an email has been threaded the way it has. I can't really understand the rules it uses. When I am simply moving a reply or forwarded email from Sent Mail to Inbox it usually works great but if it has gone wrong I want to be able to unthread it. An email which has been wrongly threaded can seem to disappear. When I have found it I may want to isolate it or put it in a different thread.

I am receiving repeated "Mail Delivery Failed" error messages when sending to emails that I know are correct, even when all I've done is reply to an email address that successfully sent me an email in the first place. These are known emails from friends and businesses I work with.

This is an intermittent evet that does not always happen but recently it is the majority of the time. Confused and concerned.

Starting by Firefox Android version 110, the autofill for username and password didn't work for certain websites (in my case, it's: http://e-learning.stmi.ac.id/auth/login). The option to choose username is there, but after clicking one of the username, it fails to fill in the login form.

Other websites with that same domain name (any.stmi.ac.id) also didn't work.

In desktop Firefox, the autofill works just fine for websites from that domain.

Please kindly help. Thank you

Congratulations your browser is useless thanks to your latest update. I am unable to open numerous sites that EDGE, Chrome and Opera open without issue. Firefox is my default browser. I'm about to switch to something else permanently because you've made it a total pain in the ass to use.

FIX IT!!!!!

Firefox is showing all the time "The connection has timed out. The server at xxx.localhost is taking too long to respond." on loading or changing pages on localhost. When calling the same URL everything runs smoothly using Chrome.

Environment: Firefox 111.0.1 / Ubuntu 24.04 / Apache/2.4.56

Which settings can I change in Firefox in order to solve?

I found that when starting Firefox on my school's WiFi, it starts up very slowly. Using `strace`, I found that it was taking it's sweet time making a DNS request to try to resolve my computer's `/etc/hostname`. After searching the Firefox source code with https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/, I found that the only occurrence of `/etc/hostname` was in [SandboxTestingChildTests.h](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/security/sandbox/common/test/SandboxTestingChildTests.h). So I was wondering if it's possible to disable these tests when Firefox starts up.

I'm experiencing a strange problem with this Google review-link for my customer:

After the login-procedure for Google I end up with a 404-Error and can't find any help at Google. I also wonder where that local URL is coming from.

It works on iOS and on Chrome or Samsung Internet on Android. Here's the error message: The requested URL /local/writereview?placeid=ChIJazm4u47ql0cRsiGgJDKAtQ8&source=g.page.m.ia._&laa=nmx-review-solicitation-ia2 was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

I already tried to disable safe browsing and cleared my cache. Nothing helps. Looks like a bug.

I am using Thunderbird 102.3.0 on Win 11 PC.

Only after applying a recent update, am I getting the "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent Mail) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent...etc" message.

My account is set up as IMAP with Westnet (though I can't see the incoming server settings in the new Thunderbird any more?) but those sent items are not being updated on their server either (I have checked by logging into webmail) or they would eventually appear in my Thunderbird account Sent folder.

My Copies and Folders settings have always been "Place a copy in "Sent folder on myemail@westnet.com.au". The alternative option is "Other - Sent on myemail@westnet.com.au". I don't know what the difference is? I don't want things stored only locally as I access my email on several devices.

I went back to an old version of Thunderbird and the issue went away. But I didn't stop it automatically updating so now I am back to having the issue.

This is serious enough that I will need to change to another app rather than lose my record of sent emails.

Any clues? Thanks.

I watch a live stream from back in the UK from talkSPORT daily. Lately I noticed that my video rate was too low and the play back was skipping and stopping. I run a 64gb Nvidia graphic card so it cant be that.

I normally run firefox and it's always the latest release. Today I tried it out on Chore and I had zero issues withe playback.

I can only come to the conclusion that firefox has cocked summat up. This is only been happening for the past past month or two.

I don't know if it's anything to due with Nvidia software or not but it needs to be sorted out. I've been using firefox since it started. I'm used to the ecosystem. I don't want to have to adjust to chrome.

Everytime I try to upload a file to my desktop, Firefox gives me the message File Uploader Not Responding then gives me the option to close or wait. if I wait, nothing changes.

I have had a problem with duplicate emails over the past 2 weeks and today a new problem started. After trying yet another Repair of my Inbox, TB crashed. I requested a restart which it did. Once it had restarted, it promptly crashed again. It repeated this 5 or 6 times when I decided to uninstall TB and reinstall it. But it did not help. As soon as I started TB again it began to populate my Inbox with 10s of thousands of duplicate emails and then it crashed! I really need to read my email and I'm considering an alternate program. Can someone provide some guidance? Thanks!

Provide a method to restore my local email folders. If possible, let me return to the previous version. I have found both Firefox and Thunderbird to useful in the past, but this update destroys access to a lot of information AND trust in the products. Did you hire a bunch if MIcrosoft managers?

I have had the same issues with TB freezing and locking up my PC that many here have had. For me, this has now gone on for almost 3 years. I have done everything I can think of, and everything I have read about online to deal with the constant freezing. I have: --upgraded countless times (now on Ver 102.9.0, 64 bit, Win 10, 32GB RAM, 3TB hard drive) --reinstalled Thunderbird many times --deleted various profiles and created new ones, deleted various config files as suggested. --reinstalled Windows 10, upgraded all associated files, drivers, etc. --started Windows in Safe Mode --disabled all add-ons and extensions in TB --reset all toolbars and controls in TB --started Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode --gave an exception to TB in my Windows Defender [and turned off Defender entirely] --ran MANY virus scans --disabled ALL virus software

Thunderbird is the ONLY piece of software on this PC that locks it up. It exhibits the same behavior that many here are seeing: freezes when I try to click on something; freezes when I try to reply to an email; freezes for no apparent reason. I can't MAKE it freeze up... it just seems to do it at random, constantly. Right now, it's open on another screen and has been frozen for about 3 minutes, and just unfroze. Most of the time, it freezes so that I cannot shut TB down. It is completely unresponsive. Sometimes it will freeze the computer so that I cannot do ANYTHING... I cannot open Task Manager and force a shutdown. Eventually, it releases and works again, only to freeze up a few minutes later.

I'm pretty much out of ideas, but I continue to browse online, looking for answers. As I said, three years of this is enough, and I see complaints about this going back even further. I love Thunderbird. I'm a longtime user and have not found any email client that comes close to the way TB works for me, so I'm VERY reluctant to leave. But I'm really tired of being a beta tester. And yes, I have donated many times over the years, and I'm happy to do so. I'm not concerned with the money. I just want it to work like it used to. If you have any fresh ideas, I'm very open to hearing them. But a warning, that I have likely already tried the fixes offered. I appreciate any input, in any event.

So, unless a miracle comes along, I reckon I'll have to cut bait and find a replacement for Thunderbird. Thanks for allowing me to blow off some long-held frustration.

best,

--john

The error message is:

Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

Version 102.9.0

Have more than one mailbox; only happens with one of several

Thanks in advance
