Firefox Community Forum

Hey everyone!

I just noticed that post FF's 150 update, I can no longer drag and drop folders into my DSM window. This has been a non issue for over 6 years and all of a sudden, poof. I did find that you can still to this on Safari, but long term, Mozilla and Synology need to address this. There's already a post on the Synology fourms about it and I've emailed their Support Team to see what they have to day. Posting this here in case anyone has found a workaround in the Config settings pane.

Thanks! --Brian

I'm using the latest version of Firefox. A website I visit a lot - https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew - uses the Disqus system in its comment section. The problem is that no comments at all show up when viewed in Firefox, I have to switch to Safari just to read and engage with the comment forum. Why is this happening? Any ideas? Thanks.

I can't sign into my RBS Digital Banking page using Firefox. The display flips back and forth uncontrollably from Login page to Are You still Here? page. Login via Safari is as normal .. but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Many URLs and hosts automatically reload pages. For example, when I am reading a multi-page article and am several pages in, the page often reloads and I have to start all over again and try find the place where I left off reading. "Stop Auto Reload" is a Firefox extension that is supposed to allow the user to stop the auto-reloading that many URLs and hosts execute, but it does not always work. It seems to work on some sites, but not on others. I have not found any other extensions so far that address this. Any assistance with this problem is greatly appreciated. -Neil

All of a sudden, I cannot open my Comcast Xfinity email. After putting in my email address, I get an "access denied" message that reads: You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login on this server" Reference #18.8809c617.1777556475.511db42 https;//errors.edgesuite.net/18.8809c617.1777556475.511db42

I don't have the issue using Safari or Chrome. I have never had the issue with irefox until now.

My instagram does not open on my firefox browser. I have cleard all the cookies and cashes. I tried Incongnito, hot spot sharing. I have tried everything its still not working. Can you help me?

Moved from Windows to Mac and now facing this issue, so it seems to be a Firefox + Mac OS compatibility issue.

Have turned on screen recording permissions in Mac settings and some other accessibility permissions that have been suggested and nothing helps.

Will need to use a different browser just to screen share.

bold textI have an Apple comp. I have been using Firefox with the Apple for over 10 years, suddenly Protonmail isn't working in Firefox........it works in Google and the Safari Browser on this Apple....... but the latest version of Firefox isn't working.....also unable to Copy & Paste on Firefox I think it might have something to do with the Bridge for Apple computer/Safari. I don't Know.

I have an Illustrator file save on Adobe's Creative Cloud. Tried to open it from Illustrator today and got this message (attached). I won't have any Google products on my computer and I'm not totally sure about how much MS Edge would follow me.

Can't figure out why Illustrator wouldn't open or download an Illustrator file. Or why Adobe would direct me to Chrome or Edge.

Not just Adobe products though - my local grocery store wants me to use Chrome to order groceries online.

What's up all of a sudden? Is it the new update??

Hello,

I am reporting a performance issue specifically related to Google Search's AI features (AI Overviews) in Firefox 149.0.2 on macOS.

The Issue: When an AI-generated summary appears in Google Search results, GPU usage spikes significantly, reaching up to 212%. This causes the laptop to overheat and triggers high fan speeds.

Critical Comparison:

Firefox 149.0.2: Extreme GPU load and performance degradation when rendering Google AI elements.

Google Chrome 147.0.7727.56: Works perfectly with normal GPU usage under the same conditions.

Tested on two different MacBooks: MacBook Pro (A1502), 16GB RAM, i7 (2015) — OS: macOS Monterey. MacBook Pro (MMQX3), 64GB RAM, M1 Max (2021) — OS: macOS Sequoia (15.x/Tahoe).

I don't understand the reason Firefox is slowing down and making my emojis and GIFs on LinkedIn very difficult to access. This isn't a problem on other sites. Any solutions? Thank you for your consideration. marlem388

Running Firefox 149.0.2 (64-bit) on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with Catalina (10.15.9).

I was in the process of updating a non-profit's website and had opened the html file on my computer. I noticed that the "y" (lower case) was missing from the days of the week. I checked the RUNNING website and saw the same thing. Checked he same website with Safari and the "y" suddenly appeared. Okay, so I then tried to add another "y" somewhere else on that page and ... nothing, so on a whim I added a "Y" to my Mac's file and guess what? It upper case Y displayed. Also noticed that on some web pages instead of showing me the characters in some words, it substitutes "ddddddd" for some words. What's up?

Ever since the last update, I haven't been able to log into my yahoo account. I am able to access the account through other browsers and on my phone but not on my laptop.

Recently the MS Q&A site displays outrageously small text. FF is fully updated as is Sequoia. I don't have the same problem when accessing the same site in Safari. I have tries various setting combinations in FF Preferences for Zoom & Font [including Advanced] but nothing provides a remedy. I really don't want to stop using FF but this is unbearable... I spend much time in Q&A supporting MS product. The image on the left ia how FF displays the page, the image on the right is from Safari.
