After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

Have an app with a web interface that I used for years, but not with several of the latest versions of FF. Chrome, Edge, and DuckDuckGo all show the page as expected and the page functions properly.

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8384/ Error looks like this:


Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:[port number].

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Have tried a large number of things including:

Ping works for ip and hostname, v4 and v6 Confirmed address is accessible through other browsers Disabled extensions Added exceptions in Settings for HTTPS-only mode Various settings in about:config, careful to return them to previous states when they didn't fix the problem Tried Safe Mode (aka Troubleshoot Mode) Refreshed Firefox (as prompted before uninstalling)

My last step is to reinstall, but thought I'd ask here first. Has anyone seen this before?

Security Breach and Continuous Issues on iOS Device

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Mohammad Kamal Borojerde, and I’m experiencing serious ongoing security issues while using Firefox on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I am a delivery driver working for Deliveroo, and my device is being targeted through remote hacking methods. I suspect that some malicious actors are using apps I’m not aware of to interfere with my internet, GPS location, and even stop delivery tasks that the company sends to my phone. This has significantly affected both my work and personal life.

Despite installing multiple security applications including McAfee (Reference No: 03203372) and Bitdefender (Reference No: 1010231778), my browsing remains unsecure, and settings keep getting changed or disabled without my consent. I believe attackers are also bypassing or disabling Firefox protections on my phone.

I kindly request Firefox’s security team to investigate this matter seriously. If possible, please help me: 1. Lock down or secure my Firefox browser fully. 2. Review any unusual activity linked to my device/browser. 3. Suggest any specific configuration settings that can protect me against remote access or phishing.

Here are my associated emails: Mod's note: PII removed

Thank you for your attention and assistance in this urgent matter.

Sincerely, Mohammad Kamal Borojerde

Open from pinned tab 2. Now opens in a new tab → Previously it opened in the same tab 3. Clicking on a newly opened tab opens a new tab again → Previously it would open pinned tabs/same tabs → in a new tab It has changed. I haven't changed any of my Firefox settings.

Ran into an interesting bug with Firefox since installing the macOS26 Dev beta. Whenever I use command space to bring up spotlight, Firefox become unresponsive, the beach ball will spin. It will only happen if Firefox is in focus when I use spotlight, and only if I am signed into Firefox sync.

I am not sure of a way to help replicate this issue as it seems to only happen when signed with Sync, but I would be happy to provide additional if I can.

Instead of syncing my current settings, sync just overwrote them with an old, outdated copy from another device, completely ruining my addons, bookmarks and various other settings. I managed to restore the bookmarks, but is there really no proper way to undo this or prevent such thing from happening in the first place? Is there no way to control if I want to sync my setting TO the server or FROM the server? How such a vital decision is even made then and why wouldn't there be a way for a user to control that? This is so disappointing :(

Tried looking through the topics but didn't find an answer

What's the point of having to sign in and make an account if everything going to disappear just because I deleted the app and then reinstall it?

When I try to go to costco.ca I get a connectivity error saying site cannot redirect properly. This site works with IE or other browsers.


The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
