Firefox Community Forum

Dear Sirs,

For at least the last two weeks, I have experienced a lot of trouble working with Mozilla Firefox. Just reading my emails is an arduous task.

It crashes, I lose internet connection, it does not "respond," etc., and Symantec Norton 360 cannot find out WHY! I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it, and it is still unreliable.

Before I have to resort to using another browser, can YOU tell me what is going on. I have a Dell desktop, using Windows 10 Pro (obtained in 2018). Firefox is my default browser. I also have Google Chrome installed.

Please help!

Sincerely yours,

Victoria-Ann Bonanni [email address]

I noticed recently that my Firefox changed, now when I click on the search/url bar at the top of the screen it opens into this full window sized search bar that sits at the top of the screen which is really bothersome. I also noticed that the close and minimize icons which are normally at the top right of the screen moved to be pushed inwards. I cannot tell if this is some issue with my Arch install, or a theme, but I tried switching to other themes in Firefox that do not use the system stuff and it seems to still be an issue? Could it be something else? I am totally at a loss as to what caused this and how to fix it, if I need to do something else on my system I can do more troubleshooting as well. (I have included two screenshots showing what I mean)

Tried to click on Firefox today and browser wouldn't open. So i uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same result. I'm guessing the browser is no longer available for Windows 11 and they're going out of business.

I have used Firefox for years, but now it seems to be having problems with connectivity with both team meetings and zoom. Awful problems with meetings freezing or loss of connectivity.

You have done it again by freezing Firefox in a dormant state after a new version get installed - please STOP this madness!!! How do I 'refreshen' this new version of browser??

Ever since I got 133.03 my Dell cpu freezes a lot. Over the last hour it froze 15 times. This is terrible reliability.

I hired Dell Tech Support and they checked my software and there were no issues. I have run advance Norton features and there are no problems. Therefore the issue is NOT with my 20 month Dell computer.

Firefox has always been reliable until late August. For four weeks it would freeze and lock up. by the end of Sept it was slightly better and then fine in November. Now it only freezes, put the mouse over the image and it freezes. Play with it for a while and it unlocks.

I am totally fed up with Firefox. I'll be starting my taxes soon and year end things and can't afford to have all these issues and rebooting to help eliminate the issue.

When is Firefox tech support going to help me? When is Firefox going to fix the issue? After Christmas I am looking into the Microsoft software......enough is enought!

I have a new computer with Windows 11 Home Edition. After setting it up and installing Firefox 133.03 32bit. Webpages will load, but i am unable to click on anything on the pages and anything occur. I have Windows 7 on my old PC and Firefox 133.03 64bit and have no issues whatsoever. I was getting javascript errors, but went in and enabled javascript. This did nothing to change the issue.

I am a Cacti developer and we are considering switching from FontAwesome Web Fonts to Tabler Web Fonts. However, on Firefox for Windows only, we are having a major slowdown when using the Tabler SVG based webfonts. The page load is first stalled by Firefox apparently loading all the Web Fonts, which would appear normal with any browser (though exceedingly slow on Firefox for some reason).

However, once the page is loaded, when going off tab to another browser tab, and then back to the Firefox tab that includes the Tabler webfonts, there is a 3 second delay before the tab switches. When we enable the performance analyzer, we find that the delay is almost 100% Reflow of the page, even though the page is static as this point (no changes) from the last time it was activated.

We do not have this issue on Firefox for Linux, MS Edge or any other Chromium browser, only Firefox on Windows. I'm using the latest version 134. Should I be opening a bug?

My Firefox desktop app recently updated. After it updated, I now cannot access anything by right clicking. When I right click, a giant window of options shows up (see image). It doesn't change no matter what I click on. When I try to select something in the giant window of options, nothing happens. I'm having a very hard time with it, particularly because I can't open links into new tabs now.

For the past week or more the browser freezes up. A message comes up about "waiting" or discontinue. It often finally begins to work again; however the problem persists and very annoying. Can anything be done?

I used to play World of Tank and look at YouTube on my second screen. Everything went smooth untill this week. YouTube on Firefox on my second screen is lagging or freezing. I tried Opera, I tried Edge it worked fine, but with Firefox, it is no more possible to play YouTube on my second screen while playing. It is not a matter of graphic hardware as this issue only happen with Firefox. I tried to deactivate every module and to reinstall Firefox (either the Beta version) but still got the same lagging and freeze on YouTube. Do you need anything that can help you to investigate this issue, this is really terribly frustrating and boring.
