Hi,

After restarting my MacBook today, it seems like Firefox has been updated. When I signed in to my account, all of my passwords as well as my search history and personal customization have been deleted.

This is a very unfortunate situation. Please advise on how this can be restored.

Kind regards, Oskar

So I enabled push notifications for Google Calendar. Every time there's a notification, Google Calendar ask if I want to enable "Switch to this tab" for their notifications. I accidentally turned it on, then I managed to turn it off. Except it now keep asking me if I want to enable it.

Looking at the settings, the only two options available are "Always ask" and "Yes", with no way of just saying no... why?

I have used Web2forms for my contact form on my Staic Website. Works perfectly with other browsers. However, Firefox does not render the hCaptcha atall.

This is the relevany html

   <script src="https://web3forms.com/client/script.js" async defer></script>

Hi all, Each time I open the browser Firefox opens in Turkish (most probably based on my location, I tried to change it but it did not accept) Then I have to switch manually or open my Google account. In settings I chose everywhere English like search results, but I goes back to basic. I dont want to see the search results in Turkish and I dont want to see the Turkish websites. Also when I write an email in English it checks against Turkish, so no help. I dont have the same problem with google products in Chrome ( the native browser) So I assume that the problem is with Firefox. I did not install anything in Turkish (I even do not use Turkish keyboard) Do I need to install English dictionary?? when I click to change the English manually each time, then it switches, but goes back to Turkish again. It is annoying, that is why I keep using Chrome. Can you pls help

Every time I open FF it tries to download a file I previously downloaded. Even if I do it again, it won't stop it. How do I delete this queued action?

I think I found it - Settings/More tools/Task manager

Nope, that didn't work. I keeps putting it back into the tasks.

Good afternoon:

Yesterday the youtube website loaded fine. Today, if I type youtube.com in the address bar & hit enter it doesn't load.

I thought maybe a corrupt add-on so I removed all youtube related add-ons then rebooted the laptop.

No difference. YT wouldn't load.

It loads fine on edge.

Any ideas?

Regards, Soul

My account names to all of my email masks have disappeared. Why did this happen? How do i get them back? Now I have not idea which email masks are for which accounts.

After updating to 121.0.1 some sites, primarily Flickr, are terribly slow in comparison with other browsers (Chrome, Edge). The issues are related to opening pages with images or group or user streams - simply it takes way too much time making browsing almost useless. I don't know what may be the problem, but I logged out from other devices and cleared history and cache several times and nothing helped. Any ideas or similar issues?

I asked a question earlier about being blocked from a site that I frequent while using Firefox but not when using Edge. I don't use Edge much but another difference has become apparent. Many of the sites like news sites an information sites seem to take longer to open than they used to on Firefox, I can see little icons going back and forth in the tab at top. Normally this lasts for ten seconds or so then the site I was after appears. I was on Edge and noted that this was not happening. I spent several minutes going back and forth and I definitely have an issue with Firefox. I have Windows 10 running on an old desktop. I use Express VPN I use BitDefender In Firefox I use Adblock Plus, Ghostery, I use Duck Duck search

Do I need a new version of Firefox or what? It says it is up to date 121.0.1 Have been using Firefox for years and not had any issues like these. Mark

I recently traveled to Australia for two weeks. While there, I used my mac laptop (with Firefox as my primary browser) on a mix of both wifi-without-VPN and hotel wifi with a VPN back to my home network activated.

I have been back home for more than a week. Other browsers on the same laptop as well as other devices (like my phone) that I took with me on the trip correctly reflect my location (east coast, USA). However, Firefox stubbornly insists that I am still in Australia. The net effect of this has been to break my access to YouTubeTV, which is not available in Australia.

I have tried: - Logging fully out of my google account on firefox and logging back in (at which point the 2FA prompt on my phone says I'm trying to log back in from Australia) - Deleting all cookies, cache and website data - Fully uninstalling Firefox, including deleting the Firefox folder in ApplicationSupport

None of these have had any effect.

Within YouTubeTV, I can force an update to my location, which will temporarily reflect correctly that I am in the US. But it still won't let me play anything if I'm using Firefox, and within Firefox, will soon revert to location unknown. Other browsers on this laptop, and other devices, work fine.

I am at my wit's end. Please advise.

Can anyone help me out and others on this matter? several months ago appears FB decided to screw everyone over by arbitrarily forcing auto refresh. If you're reading something long and or have to step away for a moment it is gone.

Some have posted for chrome they have an extension that stopped it. The only one on FF does not work. I tried it, does nothing at all. Time for FF to fix this issues allowing you to turn it on or off at my will.

Thanks Mike

Hi

I have been using Firefox for years and never encountered this problem. I changed the theme to dark but it made some websites unreadable, so I changed it back. The problem is some websites did not register the change. I cannot use these websites anymore with your browser, and I would prefer to stay with Firefox. What can I do? I have changed the system settings and Firefox settings. Nothing has helped. I have gone through your troubleshooting advice and googled various topics to figure this out. Nothing. It is frustrating, especially when one of the broken sites is my work portal. This cannot continue, so I will be forced to change browsers. I use both Mac and Windows computers if that helps. It is the same on both.

Cheers, George

Hi, I have been using Firefox for a good few years and I love it. I also use NordPass. Recently I tried to start using Passkeys as they appear to be less hassle, however, when I try to set one up I am told that my browser is not suitable, and it suggests that I use Chrome (or others). Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is?

This problem occurs on My wife's and my machines. My wife has a printer. I do not. When we try to print the preview shows only a few lines or at best a half page. Even if we want to print multiple pages that's all that shows up. We have "print all" as the default setting. The problem started about a month ago. I think it has something to do with the newer versions of Firefox.

why doesn't my theme stay engaged?I have 4 computers and I am constantly having to engage my fav theme on them all all the time.

Theme: Animated Dark fox theme with spinning globe and glow effect.

Shortly after launching, Firefox loads small PDFs very quickly, within 200ms. However, a short while after launch, it starts delaying about five seconds before opening the same, small PDFs, whether they are on disk or fetched via the network, and regardless of whether they are cached locally or downloaded. I've examined the performance profile of the slow loads, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Restarting the browser reliably makes PDF loads snappy again, but the effect doesn't last very long, less than an hour before the five second delay returns.

I've seen this behavior on all PDFs, but here are two examples:

After a session with many tabs open, I will close the browser. It doesn't matter if I open browser immediately or the next day, or after rebooting computer, the same tabs remain.
