Firefox Community Forum

I have A LOT of problems with FF since the last couples of updates. It started around two months ago and after one of the updates (and FF has constant updates which is pretty annoying) the browser immediately starting getting really slow and buggy. The browser keeps crashing constantly, is slow, loading websites end in "network cannot be found" notices and you need to reload pages all the time to get them to load, videos play in the background by themselves on saved tabs without being activated or started.... The redesign of the menu some time back, btw, have gone to worse as it's now more difficult to find the active tab than before.

I've followed all instructions to try and resolve it and nothing works. I have no virus or downloads on the system so this is not the cause. Plugins activated or not activated makes no difference. Changing settings in FF to whatever suggested makes no difference, using about: to change settings makes no difference.

The browser has really turned almost unusable.

Using Outlook Calendar, any day with more than 1 event simply shows as 3 dots. You have to open that day to see the events. Not this way with Edge nor Chrome. Am I missing a setting?

Win11Enterprise_X64 , Firefox 114.0.2 (64-bit). Restart in safe mode yields the same result.

"Clear Cache and cookies": Now, I very often have this issue. I have 38 auto-logged in pinned tabs, of various sites, most of primary importance. Clearing the cookies ... is not quite an option, as this logs me out, what means, I have to manually log in to each site I am logged into right now.

Seeing this is a returning issue, which in my case happens quite a whole lot, and often to others (though likely in less amounts due to the fact I have many sites auto-logged in pinned and open)( I am wondering:

What exactly causes this? And since this is a recurring issue, not just for me, how come this has not been solved yet? I mean, there has to be a way, it can be fixed, right?

Seeing I do not add new extensions, and those I have do not update that often, it is not the add-ons. This is further proven by the fact that Safe Mode yields the same result.

Thus ... it is either caused within Mozilla Firefox, OR some site giving out "naughty cookies" that kill the button functions.

If the first: Then Mozilla has to fix this. If the latter, then Mozilla can create a system that "nukes" the naughty cookies. Call it for instance "The Sinterklaas Protection" (It's the Dutch Santa Claus version, who has a bag to put "naughty kids" in. Seems fitting. bagging "Naughty Cookies").

Thoughts?

Also, is there a way we can overcome this, an add-on or such?

Thank you: Xog.

Hey there, I was using one of my macs today and it suddenly started updating. It was taking ages and seemingly stalled, so I closed the app.

Now, all our bookmarks and history is gone. Also, the now updated version is not showing my new history etc.

Is there any way to retrieve our original bookmarks, history and passwords?

Regards Peter

I am attempting to delete a few of the email addresses in "Monitor". Alas, after trying to click the trashcan icon, as well as erase/delete the actual email addresses in the Firefox Password Manager, also I have deleted the actual email accounts from the "respective" email services. *At least said "respective" email service have told me my accounts were...No Longer.?

At anyrate, I don't necessarily have any new email addresses to add, I simply do not use the ones I'm trying to delete. So, if anyone has any ideas, they would be received with much appreciation. Thanks all at the Moz:lla Support team and anyone else I've surely forgotten to mention, Aa-Ron

P.S. Thank you for the "Helpful Tip" at the bottom, however, I can think of nothing else. Although, my lack of computer literacy and below Pr-School level I.T. skills means there's a more than very high chance I've done something or other wrong. Ha! Thank you all, Aa-Ron

What else can I do to identify the problem? I've taken the following actions: Restarted the app, refreshed then reset the app, ran troubleshooter mode, uninstalled then reinstalled the app, re-booted my PC and shut down-rebooted my PC, disabled all protections in Bitdefender(firewall, ransom, etc), ran a full anti-virus scan, checked Chrome and Edge(they work fine), created a 2nd profile but no change. My system consists of the following: ASUS Z390-a MB I5-9400 CPU 64GB of RAM 850W ATX PSU Intel 1TB SSD(OS) Windows 11 Pro I believe this problem started soon after I updated the BIOS on my ASUS MB. I'm not sure how that relates. Thanks for any help or suggestions. optimxr PS the message on the tab is "GAH, Your Tab Just Crashed"

I have all my bookmarks that I use all the time and once I click on them that web site works just fine. I have two more web sites that are bookmarked and every time i want to log on to them it comes back "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.kingsoopers.com/" on this server. Reference #18.9cfe19b8.1688244058.3e96aa41". Can anyone tell me what is going on and why do I have this problem with just two bookmarked web sites when all the others work fine.\?

I want to have Dark Mode on everything. Thus also, yes, Firefox.

This site, for instance, is "Light Mode", which is addressed by someone else. The response was: "Hi Dennis, this support site does not have a dark mode. Sorry. Add-ons are not allowed to inject scripts into certain Mozilla sites because this would give them elevated privileges to access certain internal information hidden from normal websites and add-ons. So let's focus on other sites, since I assume you don't really use this one very often."

This support has no dark mode? UNFORGIVABLE! I mean, seriously: You offer in Firefox a "Dark Mode" which hardly works, seeing most websites coming up "Light Mode". Then NOT allowing a script which would make this side become Dark Mode, is not unforgivable ... it is downright wrong! I mean, why am I not allowed to see this site in Dark Mode, as this bright white is hurting my sight? This is darn user unfriendly, and breaches our customisation rights.

It is not that we turn it into an illegal style, like some porn style for instance. We just want it DARK. How wrong can that be?

More, what is the logic in offering it, but then to deprive us in this by you (Mozilla, not the users) revoking Dark Mode TOTALLY. EITHER you (Mozilla) gives us Dark Mode, and TOTALLY, EVERYWHERE, or remove it. Since this dualistic mindset, having severe Asperger's and ADHD, is something in which my brain conflicts. It is either All, or nothing. Not this half baked cookie you give us. Contradictions are a bad thing for us, we need clarity, and this ... just ain't clear. Is it yes or no? Can't be both.

Please make up your mind?

To the users responding, I thank you for the help you offer. Sadly, you often encounter issues that are not in your control, such as this one. Maybe we all should make a stand together, and ask Mozilla to het their heads out of the sand, for a second, to address the issues you users can't fix? Merely thinking out loud.

Is there a way to ENFORCE Dark Mode as setting to all websites, please? Tried several addons, but those all were equally half baked (not really, the damn website owners refuse the option of Dark Mode, for whatever reason, and like here, this light-blasting menace of a site which gives me a spectacular migraine, block addons from functioning. It had come so far, we are not even masters any more of our own damn health!!!

So, if you have a good alternative (I tried Dark Reader, Dark Mode, BlackOut and a few others, none truly seem to black all sites out ...)?

Thank you. Ben

Hail all:

Now, I have 2 Google accounts: My private one, and a Corporate Account, used for work. I always signed out of my normal window from the active account to the Corporate Account and vice versa, depending on which I needed to check. A common occurrence for many people.

But I noticed long ago, that in Private Window ... I seem to be signed out, opening Google in it. I use Private Window to avoid unnecessary clutter from sites dropping their stuff on my Temp folder. I hate clutter ... severe Asperger's.

I was thinking ... if I keep my private Google Mail on the prime non-Private window, can I sign in while this is open (and stays open) into my Corporate account in my Private Window?

If so, this would save me quite a bit of hassle, having to log out several times a day from my main, private account/mail and into the Corporate account mail, and when done vice versa to me private account mail.

Thank you.

Using yahoo search i am unable to open a particular page of the gofan.co website. In the past I was able to open this page which is the page where tickets are ordered. Other gofan website pages will open. I can open this page with Microsoft edge..and....I can open it using the New private window option. Gofan support has offered several solutions including clearing cache...none have succeeded.

Hello, Firefox does not load images (preview and on articles) on this site well https://www.pinerolo.news/...

with chrome and edge everything works fine... i don't know what the problem is. Can you help me? Ublock and tracking protection disabled

I found that you can hold shift+delete, or hover over *search* suggestions and click the "..." to remove suggestions, but for the list of suggestions that appear when you simply click on the address bar to make it active, neither of these work and there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the settings that allow you to manually remove items from this list. There was a website that I visited very frequently over the last 1-2 years, that I do not need to visit pretty much ever again, it's at the very top of the suggestions every time I click the address bar even though I haven't visitted the website in months. There are other websites in there that I don't want, even if I do still visit them, I don't necessarily want or need them to be suggested. The only way I have found is to go into my history, search the domain name, and delete all traces of the website from my all-time history. This worked for the first website I mentioned, but I don't want to have to delete my history for each website I don't want in my suggestions. Long-term history can be extremely useful. Plus it's just a super janky way of doing something very basic that should be as simple as "Right click > Delete suggestion", especially as that already exists for search suggestions. Is there an obscure or hidden way of doing this that I may be missing?

When I found the shift+del method and the "..." method I spent a good 10 minutes not understanding why it wasn't working, thinking my FF was outdated as apparently these were added in version 113, but I am on 114 so that didn't make sense. It was only after a while that I discovered that search suggestions are apparently handled separately from the default suggestions shown when you simply click on the address bar. This doesn't seem all that streamlined, so I guess as a bonus feature suggestion: make it so that the same method applies to both types of suggestions? I assume feature suggestions don't go here so I might make an actual suggestion later...

Thanks.

When looking at a Washington Post article, not the home page, after a few seconds or 20 the screen goes blank. Disabling all ad-blockers/privacy controllers and setting the page as an exception under your Enhanced Tracking Protection does not rectify the situation

Right I have tried 2 things one making a Junction link, symbolic link and install directly to the N drive a SSD instead of having Firefox installed on the C drive.

Everything else is moved to the N drive using Junction and I mean everything Firefox related.

But for some reason the second Firefox is either installed, Junction or non junction symbolic link to that N drive does Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ act up.

Amazon Prime first it simply won't play videos just keep giving a error message. Disney+ the same as amazon prime.-

Netflix however goes even further, not only does it constantly log me out yes you read it log me out it also fails to play videos either because I was logged out or because internet issues or Firefox is not supported errors.

Either way 100% nothing works on those 3 sites, yet everything else works YouTube, BBC, ITV and more everything else works perfect.

Now the second I install Firefox back on C drive remember only the actual Firefox installation is on the C rest is still linked to the N drive and now magically Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ works perfectly as they should.

Anyone got a idea of why this happens or can cause this?

Why is there not a simple means to take a link and pin it as a tile on my home page? I've expanded the number of rows displayed which as an odd history of my browsing, yet the latest links I've visited are not there - meaning the link to the location I would like to pin. Seriously, the entries in the rows (other than previously pinned links) is a hodgepodge. It might be useful if there was some evident logic to the items included. It is disappointing the number of times this question has been posed and the "answer" is to display more rows. Similarly disappointing - an old knowledge base article that says to click the 3 dot icon next to address bar for Firefox on android - would have been handy had such a control appeared in the latest version of Firefox I'm running on my Mac.

Hello I want to disable/hide or at leas make smaller the GIANT "detail" bar that shows up on the history manager and difficults reading trough the history. There seems to be no options available in the toolbar and can't find any on about:config either. Perhaps there's a key I can add in about:config to change this?

Thank you

How do I uninstall Firefox Relay? I don't know how it works and I am now not receiving emails. I would like to completely uninstall it and try againg to properly configure it so it does not block my emails.
