I admit I have a minimal machine for FF --- Win 7 pro, 2G ram but up to now it has managed---I just can't have too many large tabs open at one time. What gives with this install prob???

All of a sudden Firefox has a popup window that asks me for my primary password whenever I try to access one of my bank accounts. I'm just used to signing in with my saved password on each bank's website. Is this something new? Is there some kind of master password that can sign in to all of my accounts? I'm concerned about security issues.

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.

I also saw a NoScript XSS Warning:

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.youtube.com to https://accounts.google.com.

Suspicious data:

Error: Timeout! DOS attack attempt?,(URL) https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=youtube&uilel=3&passive=true&continue=https://www.youtube.com/signin?action_handle_signin=true&app=desktop&hl=en&next=%2Fsignin_passive&feature=passive&hl=en

My bookmarks have disappeared from view, even though I have I recently got this note at the top of Firefox: "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

On clicking on the "Manage bookmarks" link, I'm taken to a page with several fields, including "Location". I can not get any of the selections to work.

I did not ask for this change. I just want to be able to view my bookmarks. Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

I want a blocker that will block any site if the dirty words that I choose is in the search. Also, will the program block audio porn if the search has these words in it?

There is a stuttering when i browsing, i do a lot of switching tabs when browsing. The stutter occurs at about every 15 sec, the browser like stopped for half a second, doesn't much but annoying. I cant scrolling, it stopped showing next alphabet when im typing, but still registered what im typing. but when playing videos on youtube the videos is not affected. i do running adblock ublock origin, i tried to switch it off, but it doesnt much affect my laptop performance, and the stuttering still there. i have also have tried doing gfx.webrender.layer-compositor set to true on about:config

Clear the browser cache and cookies from Firefox settings to remove corrupted data. Update the app to the latest version available in the App Store. If the problem persists, restart your device or reinstall Firefox to resolve potential software issues.

I just got a new Dell Windows 11 desktop PC to replace my old Dell Windows 10 PC. Since switching, there are three sites that will absolutely not load the homepage: Paypal, Venmo, and Common Dreams (which is a news site). The same sites continue to load instantly on my old Windows 10 PC in Firefox, and on the new Windows 11 PC on Edge. Firefox is the only browser I use, I just use Edge to test sites, I uninstalled Chrome because of Google's privacy and AI issues.

In the lower left corner of the window for these three sites are the following messages, for the three respective sites:

• Waiting for www.paypalobjects.com...

• Sending request to jssdks.mparticle.com...

• Waiting for www.commondreams.org...

What's going on here? Seems strange that Firefox continues to behave normally on Windows 11 for all sites except these three, and works perfectly for these three sites on my Windows 10 PC. How can I further troubleshoot and fix this? I don't want to have to use Edge to visit these three sites, esp. Paypal and Venmo.

I'm guessing it has something to do with cache or history but am not sure how to proceed...

I am using Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. I have the latest version of Firefox installed. I have used Firefox as my default browser on this machine and O/S for the last year with no problems. I can use Firefox to get to other websites without issue, using either a 5G cellular connection or a WiFi connection direct from the Dell laptop. I DO NOT use password vaults or any kind of automated password entry, and I do not have any bio-metric access functions activated on the laptop; I enter usernames and passwords manually, as needed. I have accessed my Outlook Hotmail account using Firefox without problem up until about 4 weeks ago. Now, I can enter my username successfully, but when I then enter my password I get a rejection screen response from Microsoft (clicking on it, I then get a "help" screen about what to do after getting a 404 message). After navigating through a maze of screens from Microsoft I will get an opportunity to verify my identity by using my cell phone and entering a 6-digit code (essentially a form of "2 factor" identification) and then I will get access to Outlook on the Firefox browser. I should mention here, that I don't use 2 factor ID on my email or with Outlook, and after entering my password, I would have been connected to my email directly. I do NOT have this issue when I try logging in to Outlook using Chrome or Edge on the same machine. I have: rebooted my machine, reinstalled the latest version of Firefox, cleared cache, used Firefox in Safe Mode, cleared cookies and browser history, turned off tracking protection, cleared URLs from tracking protection exceptions, and tried various combinations of all of the above. I also ran "scannow" and "DISM" functions to make sure Windows is not corrupted. Nothing has fixed the problem, and, Microsoft Support claims that since the other browsers work, the problem must originate with Firefox (surprise, surprise! ...). Any assistance in what steps to take to get Outlook to accept passwords that are sent through Firefox would be greatly appreciated!

Every day, I get the same reminders about new Firefox features. Every day, there's one about tab groups. I get daily reminders to sync my bookmarks. I do not need this every single day.

How do we turn off the reminders? Why do they not stop appearing after an update, the way they normally do?

Thanks!

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"
