Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

Firefox using HUGE amounts of CPU and memory

I'm using the latest Firefox on Win10, with a fairly powerful laptop (64 gb RAM, intel i7 2.3 GHz chip), and for about a month now, whenever I use it, it uses so much CPU all the time that my laptop is overheating (slight hyperbole, but it's definitely churning the fans a lot, and the area around the keyboard gets hot to the touch). Sometimes it uses up to 45% CPU, and over 20% memory!!! (as reported in the task manager) Usually around 20-25% though. While Chrome, at the same time, is using 0.1%. It's not just when starting up, either, it's continuous during use, until I quit Firefox.

What the h*** is going on?!? I've tried the troubleshooting steps, but it remains crazy regardless of turning off extensions, and I'm just using the default theme. I notice it's mainly when loading images, like on social media.

This is insane. What is happening. Can someone help me?

Hi. I reallllly don't want to be the person asking the same question that happens every day...but I've tried to do a bit of searching. I could've done a lot more. I had a surprise windows reformat event this morning. Everything is shiny and unmodded. I have never had it open new indow tabs and new windows simultaneously. If I close the window on the toolbar and it closes the tab. I'd blame myself...but the only thing I did was change the font size because I'm nearly blind. Is this a new thing!? I hate it ! I don't want NEW windows, I use firefox for tabs.

this is happening in safe firefox and unsafe firefox. it must be something in the settings but i don't know!! (i've had the worst day at work and having to reformat was unexpected and incredibly frustrating...i just want my computer the way i like it)

Unfortunately using a date type toJSON() result is not accurate. It first apply client timezone and then convert it to json string. In my scenario I am simply read from an API which return a none standard datetime string without its timezone (like "2020-11-21 00:00:00"), Then I try to convert it to a date using new Date("2020-11-21 00:00:00"). Then I use it in another web service but it apply my client timezone when I use JSON.stringify() method (or toJSON()). Does this behaviour is intentionally?


I read the other same question but I am not okay with it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1414380

Recently, I've run into logging in on at least two websites where I have two-factor authentication set up. I'll click the sign in button, and rather than advancing to ask for my authentication code, I get stuck in an endless loading loop and am unable to do anything.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have already tried clearing cache and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

This issue only happens to me on desktop. The mobile version of firefox still lets me log in, but I prefer to use desktop.

I used to have a "reload" icon on the bar with "home" and other things like "bookmarks." I found it in the "overflow" icon place. I tried to grab it and place it where it used to be on the toolbar. It disappeared and I have no idea where it is now. It's not where I found it in the "unused buttons."

I noticed a yellow flag at the top of my Firefox screen, clicked on it, and found a message that my account was disconnected. In order to restore it, I had to sign into Mozilla, and I was prompted to re-sync my mobile account, as well. Then I saw that I had not received any email during the 5 hours before I did this. What would become of email sent to me while my account was disconnected?

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC

Hi, my issue is my banking web page login was working just fine, until the last week or so when I could no longer sign into the site. I called the bank and they troubleshoot is and we found they could sign in with temp password, I could not with Firefox browser. So I switched browser to Edge and no problem.

I went back to try to troubleshoot for Firefox browser. Page loads just fine, but when I try to log in I get having technical issue please try again or call customer support. I did call the bank the web page is working just fine, just can login using Firefox browser. I tried to clear out history and cookies, got the same message of please try again. I changed my settings from strict to standard and still same message. I am using Mozilla VPN and changed different locations and still same message for several locations. So I just turned off VPN and tried to login and same message of please try again. So not using the VPN should have worked, but it didn't.

Any other browser that I use will work just fine. So something is blocking my access to a banking web page. No sure what else to try. I don't like Edge and have always used Firefox. The web page was working just fine even with VPN on to login. Not sure if the latest update to Firefox browser cause a conflict for the issue I am having. Appreciate any help you can provide to help resolve the issue at hand. t

Hello there. Firefox has just updated to 130.0, and it’s changed the appearance of the dark theme. There are now blazing white borders around the buttons in the toolbar.

This defeats the object of having a dark mode. They also flicker off and on when the cursor passes over them. I fear it may already be giving me a headache.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Some option I’ve missed to make dark mode actually dark again? User-control of theme components would be the dream, so we could darken the text on browser tabs and the menu bar as well.
