I'm on an Mac Big Sur and after updating today to Firefox 94, the usual behavior of being able to click once in either the search bar or the URL block to select all the text is no longer functioning.

This is not a small inconvenience, but a major issue for me.

Do others on MacOS have this problem? Do others on other OS have it? I am assuming (hoping) that it's merely a key in about:config that's been flipped, but don't know for sure.

Any help is gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

Since the most recent update, websites are loading as if they are experiencing 'blocking' for example when I go to a certain page nothing loads until the whole website is loaded in the background then it suddenly appears complete. So for a short while I have no idea the link or website I visited is working.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks

I was encouraged by Firefox to do a Refresh today, I sincerely, sincerely regret it. Afterward, I've tried all I can to restore my logins, etc., but nothing is working!!!!! Every time I close and reopen, NOTHING IS SAVED. I read and tried out all the troubleshooting methods of restoring my data, but for some reason nothing works, once I close and reopen.

In version 98, a change was made so that the download panel always opens every single time any file is downloaded. I have found that I never, under any circumstances, want or have ever wanted this behavior, nor do I ever ever serendipitously benefit from it. It is continuously annoying. How do I defeat it?

hi,

Maybe someone had the same problem, I use two security option outside of Firefox: 1. /etc/hosts file, all the site that I do not want to allow my machine to interact with; source: https://github.com/StevenBlack/ 2. VPNs anti tracking scripts

I use a mac, Mac OS 11.6 Firefox 93.0


With all the two security option enabled, Safari works fine, TOR works fine, Firefox has massive issues with loading pages speed. Some of the Firefox settings: Network Settings: the DNS over HTTPS is OFF, as I am using a VPN Privacy and Security: set to standard, but there is no difference is loading speed when switching to strict Extensions: I use 1password, multi account containers and user agent switcher; no difference is loading speed if I disable or remove all extensions

Any idea why is Firefox loading page speed effected?

Many Thanks Michael

hi, i have a dozen extensions that i wouldn't mind keeping in case i want to use them sometime, though i know you're supposed to keep extensions to a minimum to avoid complications and slowness. Does disabling add-ons avoid the problems just like deleting them altogether would? thanks!

My attempts to login to my personal bank account (https://orionfcu.com/) with updated Firefox has failed since 1/16/2022. My electronic account has been active for ~>/+ 20 years. Firefox has been my default browser from its inception always with Apple iOS systems. After correctly answering a security question, I receive an error message saying than my request cannot be completed...try again later. Bank online assistants recommend I use Edge or Chrome browsers. I have never nor plan to use Edge. I can login with Chrome, but I have rarely used that browser. Am I stuck with Chrome for https://orionfcu.com/? Thanks.
