My device is Tecno pova 5g (TECNO LH8n) The chrome browser works really well in this phone but Firefox is laggy the pages load slower & sluggish despite of 120hz display it only support 60hz.

The browsing experience is also laggy the navigation in twitter is so laggy but when i use chrome its fine i hate chrome i have always been loyal to firefox in computer if this is slow in android i will still choose to use it once loyal always loyal.

I am king of my own kingdom willing to invest in firefox wellfare. never remove ublock origin from his position he is one of my greatest knight.

Yesterday I uploaded a bunch of pdfs on my wordpress website and they display the title, image captions, byline and other miscellaneous text, but NOT BODY text, incorrectly on Windows Firefox and ONLY on Windows Firefox. Mac works fine, Windows Chrome, Edge work fine but Windows Firefox displays the affected text as individual boxes with letters in them. This may be broader than the font settings on one computer as I have replicated the issue on several PCs. Interesting though that when I download the embedded pdf, and it's displayed in the page, the fonts ARE CORRECT!!! You can see the issue here: https://davegibsonimages.com/air-force-vs-navy/ or you can look at the screenshot I took. I've contacted the developer of the embedder plugin and they are seeing a 404 error for the affected pages, which is NOT replicated elsewhere, but since it returns a 200, they're convinced that it's not a problem with their plugin. Godaddy is of course saying all is well on their end. I've cleared all the available caches, to no avail, and of course refreshed pages.

Hello,

Just today my UI elements went missing. For example I cant see my bookmarks on the bookmark toolbar, new tab sign disappeared. Addons are not the issue, I have refreshed multiple times with no addons installed. The bookmarks are all there, except somethings messing with the firefox. Started in safe mode, but in vain. Checked the group policy in the registry but nothing out of the ordinary. I deleted the policy, did a fresh install and still the problem persists. Tried switching hw acceleration on/off as well.

Any help is appreciated, I never had any problems with firefox before.

For almost a week now, I keep getting a message on a site I've been going to for more than 10 years (deviantart) when I use firefox on my computer, which I am not having these issues accessing using Safari on my phone.

403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error.

The request ID changes each time.

The steps I have taken so far:

  • Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions (everything was fine)
  • Reloaded page using Shift+ Left Click to bypass cache
  • Reloaded page with Ctrl + F5
  • Started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode to assure it wasn't my extensions (I only use ublock but better safe than sorry)
  • I disabled extensions after reloading in usual mode

What steps are next after these basic troubleshooting? I was hoping to use that site to share creations with friends.

Dont give me the link of the how to with a desktop/laptop/typerwriter i left that obsolete trash behind 10 years ago.

Im getting pretty annoyed at the lack of possiblities of importing bookmarks. There seem to be no available apps that deal with this and of course mozilla hasnt caught on that this is a common sense requirement of users 🙄

Someone tell me there is an option to import bookmarks that im missing please.

I have two installations of Firefox. One windows10 and one Linux. BOTH are doing the same thing on this site https://www.rapidonline.com/

I cannot scroll using the mouse roller. Page up/down doesn't work. Middle click and drag doesn't scroll either. BUT, for the briefest of time, BEFORE the Firefox shield in the address bar, I can scroll.

Hovering over the blue shield shows the text... Blocking social media trackers, cross site tracking cookies, and fingerprinters. Turning the Firefox protection OFF makes no difference, other than the shield is white and struck out. Disabling uBlock origin, or malwarebytes makes no difference. Both my installations do the same BUT, I called a pal who also uses Firefox on Linux and windows and he reports all is well and he uses uBlock, but not malwarebytes.

I have not actively messed with my settings on either platform. Oh, I was told to clear the cache. No joy.

Why does Firefox think it is blocking stuff but turning the protection off makes no difference? Why should two separate installations behave identically? Why does my pal's Firefox using Linux work on this site 100% ? I feel like I am going insane...
